Dress Shields...They're Like Maxi Pads, But for Your Pits!


um, i had no idea these even existed. but, i can say that i'm sorta thankful that i discovered them (on amazon.com-god, is there anything you can't buy on that site???)

i don't like admitting this, but i have been self-conscious for years about my sweat pits. i've known two other girls that have had the same problems and up until recently, thought the only solutions were:

1. wear only dark clothing
2. never lift your arms in public
3. apply that awful, painful anti-persperant (certain dry, or B+Drie)
4. the papertowel trick (don't ask-and fyi, its rarely successful-just as Chris McKenna)

but alas, my sister-in-law told me that she visited a dermatologist last week and although she did end up prescribing her some maximum strength anti-persperant, she also recommended she get her thyroid checked out. if there's nothing wrong with her thyroid, then she is going to give her BOTOX INJECTIONS. this will stop the sweating for 4-8 months!!!!

none of you non-sweaters can even appreciate what that means to girls like me, who have to shop for tops that either hide sweat stains by the color or how the sleeves are made. sounds really painful to get an injection in your armpit though. and sounds a little dangerous too. isnt botox a poison???

Try having your b**bs sweat so badly, you have to change your top.

I heard about botox injections. I think it really helps if you have a serious problem. I learned about shirt shields in modeling school.

i've never really had a problem with sweat. indeed, once during soccer practice in high school, i saw a teeny dot under each pit and was super proud.

but i do have that other prob...if i don't wear deod...whoooo weeee!
