Women in particular have a harder time avoiding armpit sweat.
However, often times deodorants may not be strong enough to block sweat.
Some deodorants are so strong that they can leave a deodorant residue on the clothing or their potency is so strong that it poses a health risk because they block sweat glands entirely and cause you to perspire elsewhere.
Once sweat stains start to form on a garment it is almost impossible to remove them.
While it will absorb sweat, the corset is bulky, un-adjustable, uncomfortable, difficult to put on and it is constricting to the body.
The strap is not only unattractive, but uncom

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 824186 filed Aug. 31, 2006.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The field of the invention is in underwear.BACKGROUND[0003]Armpit perspiration has always been an issue for many people. Sweating in the armpit region not only is embarrassing but it often ruins clothes with yellow-sweat stains.[0004]Women in particular have a harder time avoiding armpit sweat. Unlike men, most women do not wear an undershirt beneath a blouse or a shirt to serve as a protective layer to absorb sweat. Besides a bra, there is usually nothing but the shirt or blouse itself to absorb sweat. One way to solve this problem is to use deodorants. However, often times deodorants may not be strong enough to block sweat. Some deodorants are so strong that they can leave a deodorant residue on the clothing or their potency is so strong that it poses a health risk because they block sweat glands entirely and cause you to perspire elsewhere. Onc...
