Weighing the Pros and Cons of Armpit Sweat Pads
When you suffer from medical disorders such as excessive perspiring, you`re likely to try remedies ranging from antiperspirants to standing on your head. But there are some crucial questions. Does the treatment work? Is it convenient? Is it safe? These are vital questions when considering treatments for over-productive sweat glands, such as armpit sweat pads.
While the symptoms of “hyperhidrosis” (or in Joe Shmoe terms: over sweating) are obvious, scientists are still in the dark somewhat about the causes. Some of the origins are related to genes, chemical imbalances, certain medications, and unhealthy lifestyles. But most people who suffer from this disorder otherwise have a clean bill of health.
Okay, back to the issue at hand. What exactly are these underarm sweat pads? As their name suggests, they`re basically pads that you position at your armpits. The goal is to put a barrier between your underarms, and your clothing. They do this by absorbing the perspiration that your armpits` sweat glands produce, while also reducing the odor linked (indirectly) to the heavy sweating.
What are these armpit sweat pads made of? They`re usually comprised of some sort of cotton fabric, with a high per-square-inch thread count. The high thread count helps the pad to absorb perspiration better, and also makes the pad more comfy. Besides the core of the pad, they also often contain a barrier that provides super-duper protection for your outer garment. These gadgets help to protect a variety of fabrics, including basic and fine ones.
There are three basic types of armpit sweat pads available:
* disposable armpit pads: These pads are designed to save the user both time and money (on potential dry-cleaning). You attach the pads to your garment, toss them at nighttime, and then do it all over again the next day.
* washable armpit pads: This is the option that people make when they want the convenience of disposable armpit pads, but would like more value. Since they`re not attached to a particular garment, you can mix and match them with various pieces of clothing. Yet they`re more economical, since you can use them over and over again.
* apparel with armpit pads: These pads are already attached to articles of clothing, such as t-shirts and formal shirts. While they have the convenience of already being attached to the clothing, the drawback is that you can`t use them for your lime-green velvet disco shirt—or any other shirt, for that matter.
Since these armpit sweat pads can successfully keep your clothing stain-free and conceal the fact that you`re sweating bullets, what`s wrong with them? Like other treatments, these pads only give the appearance that you`re not sweating, and fail to attack the root cause of your perspiring.
They basically create an optical illusion, but don`t change the fact that you have an underarm sweating problem. Another drawback is that sweating problems can occur in a variety of trouble spots, including your hands, feet, and groin area.
Instead of covering up your perspiration problem by using armpit sweat pads, look for an all-natural solution that addresses the problem itself, not just the symptoms. I recommend Stop Sweating and Start Living. It's a good resource and covers everything about hyperhidrosis, from the what to the how and why.
