The Square Life

Sweaty armpits. That not-so-attractive wetness that reveals itself when you lift your arms the slightest bit. Pit marks. Tacos. Whatever you call them, they’re not going to help your chances of getting asked on a date. So, here are some foolproof tips to keep the sweat monster from rearing its ugly face.

GO LOOSE The tighter your shirt, the more likely the sweat marks.

WEAR THE RIGHT COLORS Those wet spots show up less when you wear black or white. Stay away from grey.

WATER FIGHT! The sweat will blend in nicely with the water splashes—and no one will ever know.

HIT THE STORE Secret, Dove, and Degree recently came out with clinical protection formulas. Also, Certain Dri, an antiperspirant made especially for excessive sweating, is always there for you, too. You can find these products over the counter in your local grocery store.  

GUARD THOSE PITS You can buy nifty little sweat guards that you simply place on your shirt under each arm. You can find them online or at sewing supply stores like Jo-Ann’s.

GET SERIOUS If nothing seems to be working, see a doctor. Serious sweating solutions like Botox injections and even surgery are available.
