Underarm Security
Have you ever heard the old saying that "horses, sweat, men perspire, and women glow? Well, I used to "glow" frantically under my arms during every first date, college interview, or important meeting. Sooner or later, I had to throw away the blouse or sweater I liked best because no amount of washing or cleaning could get rid of the stains.
Back in the day, even before me, women wore something called "dress shields." They were anchored to your underarms with elastic bands, or sewn in or pinned in. They were terribly uncomfortable, and women quickly gave them up when clothing became more informal.
However, the problem, didn't go away. and now someone has brought a more modern product to market: garment guard(tm) disposable underarm shields.
Available from Beauty.com, garment guard was invented by a young woman who wanted something modern and professional, yet effective. According to the description, these shields are "100% cotton for comfort and breathability, beige for invisibility under sheers and whites, a strong but gentle adhesive to keep it in place, and, of course, disposability for ease and hygiene. Today, thousands of men and women use Garment Guard to protect their silks from nastiness, to prevent perspiration marks from embarrassing them, to avoid those yellow �taco stains�, and to save on dry-cleaning."
The are available in "standard" size and "grand."
It's a commentary on how we have changed as a culture that the product will be on the Today show tomorrow morning --right out there in the open. The "secret" problem of underarm staining is as transparent as all the rest of life in the 21at century.

There's an amazing deoderant roll on called PERSPIRE-X . It works wonders on sweaty underarms. I used to suffer from that, even in the heart of winter. But now, im dry ALL THE TIME! Even when exercising!
