In any situation, I want to feel comfortable and relaxed. Confidence in actions gives any person a sense of freedom. But there are situations when the natural characteristics of the body create an unpleasant state of discomfort. One of these features is sweating.
Why does a person sweat?
Sweat is a fluid that is released through glands on the surface of the skin. It contains tissue vital products such as water, urea, cholesterol, alkali metal salts, creatinine, serine, etc. These decay products give sweat a specific unpleasant odor. Sweating is especially severe in places of skin folds, where a large number of sweat glands are located - armpits, groin, palms, feet.
Sweat secretion is a very important and significant function of the body. Increased sweating at high ambient temperatures occurs to maintain thermoregulation, preventing the body from overheating. Excessive perspiration can begin when a stressful situation or excitement occurs. The sweat control center is located in the cerebral cortex.
What is hyperhidrosis?
There are times when a large amount of sweat occurs not only in cases of protective reactions of the body. This disease is called hyperhidrosis, it is more common in women and less often in men.
Hyperhidrosis involves excessive sweat in the armpits, groin, palms and feet, contributing to the creation of pathogenic microflora. Such an environment is favorable for the development of fungal diseases. The unpleasant odor associated with people with hyperhidrosis can be aggravated by the use of drugs or a change in diet. In some cases, sweating is so profuse and fetid that cosmetics and permanent hygiene procedures are simply powerless.
Sweating reduction
To solve the problem, you need to understand the causes of the disease. Consult a doctor and get tested. Excessive sweating can signal kidney problems or other diseases. The main causes of hyperhidrosis are:
- genetic predisposition;
- dysfunction in the work of endocrine organs;
- tumor of any location;
- cardiac and renal pathologies;
- infectious diseases.
If your health is OK, then perhaps excessive sweating has arisen due to hormonal changes. This is especially true for adolescents and women during the onset of menopause.
The first method to combat sweating is an antiperspirant or deodorant. Deodorants prevent the decomposition of sweat, and the formation of bacteria in a humid environment, which prevents the appearance of an unpleasant odor. Antiperspirants have a wider range of effects. Due to the content of aluminum and zinc, the ducts of the sweat glands are narrowed and sweat secretion is blocked.
To reduce perspiration, talcum powder, baby powder are also used. It is applied to clean skin, the effect can last up to several hours. A more radical measure is the application of Teymurov's paste to the armpit. Its composition when applied to the skin is able to block sweat glands for a longer period. The effect can last up to a week.
If your body is inclined to quickly respond to stressful situations by profuse sweating, then it is better to use special absorbent wipes called pads for armpits.
Armpit liner prescribing
Sweat pads are very similar to women's daily sanitary pads. There is a soft layer that can quickly absorb moisture, and a sticky layer that serves to fix the pads on clothing or skin. According to reviews, pads for armpits from sweat are convenient to use in cases of increased physical activity or in situations of stressful conditions. It happens that even deodorant and antiperspirant are not able to stop excessive sweating, then the liners that absorb excess moisture and protect clothes from the appearance of sweat will become better protection.
Ease of use of gaskets is as follows:
- no stains or sweat marks remain on clothing;
- no unpleasant odor;
- do not cause discomfort during use;
- extend the service life of clothes.
People who use gaskets for armpits, in the reviews speak positively about this convenient innovation.
Types of liners for armpits
Arms for armpits people came up with a very long time. Previously, the pads looked like pillows that were sewn onto clothes and, if necessary, steamed and washed. Now everything is much simpler. A variety of hygiene products to combat hyperhidrosis are presented in the form of several liner options, but the principle of action is the same for everyone. The armpit pad is designed to absorb excess moisture released as sweat.
According to the method of fastening, they distinguish:
- Sweat pads for clothing. The back side adhesive is used to attach the liner to clothing. This fixation is reliable and comfortable.
- Sweat pads for the skin. A tissue napkin is attached to the skin of the axillary region using an adhesive base similar to a medical plaster. Some people consider this method more convenient, since it can be used with loose clothing.
By use there are:
- Disposable sweat pads for armpits. Thin wipes made of hypoallergenic material. Glued with a sticky layer to clothing or skin. After use, discarded. Such gaskets are convenient and comfortable to use.
- Reusable sweat pads . They are a pillow with a silicone strap for fixing on the shoulder. The upper layer consists of well-absorbing tissue, and the bottom is a membrane fabric that does not allow moisture to pass through.
Do-it-yourself gaskets for armpits are not difficult to do, but the use of such personal hygiene products will bring many inconveniences. Wash these liners every day.
Armpit Gaskets
Gaskets are 100% cellulose. Soft to the touch, easily take the required shape when attaching. Sold in packs of 6 and 12 pairs. They have the shape of an oval, the mount is designed for using the liner on clothes. The price for a smaller package is 160-200 rubles.
The thickness of the sweat pads for Helmi's armpits is only 2 mm, which allows it to be invisible even on the most thin-woven clothing. At the same time, a high absorbency is observed. The gasket does not slip during the day. The lack of the use of perfume fragrances in the manufacture of gaskets is a plus for many consumers: the aroma of perfumes does not interrupt. The pad material is completely hypoallergenic and does not cause skin irritation.
A negative point is the restriction in the choice of outfit. If the clothes do not fit tightly around the armpits, then the pad does not work. Baggy loose suits and blouses will have to be abandoned. The size of the liners is standard, use will not be convenient for obese people.
Armpit Pads Purax
They have a completely natural composition. In the manufacture of gaskets, soft fleece is used, this allows moisture to be quickly absorbed. Odor and moisture remain inside the liner thanks to special manufacturing technology. The gaskets themselves are made in the form of a rounded rectangle with recesses convenient for fixing. They are attached directly to the skin using a special patch. After use, the gaskets are painlessly removed. The fixation is reliable, the removal or peeling off of the gasket is excluded.
Before fixing the gasket, clean and dry the armpit area. Remove the protective layer from the surface, raise your hand up and attach the gasket to the armpit area. Lock the insert for a few seconds.
Using Purex armpit pads is very convenient. Fixing directly to the skin gives a higher level of protection compared to a pad for clothes. Thanks to the thin and flexible structure, the use of a napkin will not cause discomfort.
Stop Agent Inserts
The Russian alternative to sweat pads are Stop Agent liners. Presented in the form of ovals with recesses, the fixation of which is carried out by gluing pads on clothes. The sticky layer holds the liner securely, especially on cotton clothes, on synthetics a little worse. Silver ions, which are part of the filler, absorb odor and prevent bacteria from forming. Gaskets are absolutely neutral, have no foreign smell, are presented not only in white, but also in beige. Consist of fluff pulp, which allows you to quickly absorb moisture. It is delivered in packs of 10 pairs. The price of a pack is 300-400 rubles.
The inconvenience is the fact that the liners are quite thick, so they can’t be used on thin clothes. With severe hyperhidrosis, they are useless, they can create inconvenience when worn.
