Undershirts?

[Mike88]

So who here wears a undershirt to protect and stop sweat marks from showing through to an outer shirt?

I think it's a dilemma; I wear a Under Armour HeatGear t-shirt under my cotton short sleeve work shirt. I think wearing it makes me hotter as it restricts air flow to my skin, but then again I think it helps stop sweat from seeping through.

I use to wear just a cotton t-shirt under my work shirt but stopped because I thought it was making it worse.

What's are peoples thoughts on this?

I can only speak for myself, but when I was younger I was a little over 300 lbs, so, I never wore undershirts because I always felt really hot. Now Im about 215, I still cant stand undershirts, maybe Im just hot blooded, or I just grew to love the cold

I wear tops underneath tops to stop anything showing through, although i find this makes me worse as my main area is on my face....

I always wear an under shirt. Cotton, black or grey. It absorbs sweat and protects the outer shirt.

It's difficult really. I wear short sleeve cotton shirts at work, yet I am worried that any sweat marks will show through so I don't want to risk it and therefore wear something under it. One of my colleagues asked why I wear one when it's really hot upstairs; I just deflected the question. I think tomorrow I will try a cotton undershirt instead of my Under Armour one; but I know it's going to be hot on the mezzanine floor I work on so it may just make my face sweat more...

I tried wearing a cotton undershirt under my short sleeved work shirt and I must say I think it kept me cooler than wearing the Under Armour one. I don't feel I can ditch the undershirt completely yet until I feel confident enough no sweat patches will show through.

Its good to hear a bit of success, is it just your back/under arms that sweat?

Back, underarms and face. I have had some success in using Driclor and other strong antiperspirants on my underarms and back; but its not 100%.

My face sweating is my biggest concern; it only becomes a big problem when I become stressed or have anxiety.

This condition doesn't help that I work on a mezzanine floor with no air-conditioning and no effective ventilation system. Yesterday the temperature was 24c on shop floor and 26c in the warehouse ::

I have to wear a undershirt, for shirts at work are buttons, and I hate that feeling of the last one buttoned up to tight against my neck. Feels like I'm strangling or something to that effect. So, to ease up on it I wear a undershirt. =)

Hope that makes sense. Ha!

I found driclor useless! I had success with odaban on my face but after a year or so lost its effectiveness. Im am debating whether or not to try Klima- Facade...I think thats right. Its had a lot of great reviews!
As for my under arms Ive found the best deoderant on the shelf is sanex. Although I havent tried much else as my underarms sweat more than they should but arent as bad as the rest of me!
My back is such an issue, im trying to come up with something to make but im not being very successful atm with that!
Have you tried any medication?
