A woman with a broken AC unit in Los Angeles invents a clever way to prevent under-boob sweat, and the women advertising it are larger breasted than average runway models.

Thanks, MetaFilter. Let me tell you, a whole new world opened up to me the day I realized that despite the dire warnings on my antiperspirant, I probably would not die instantly if I dared smear some under my breasts. And now I can come home from walking the dogs and my bra isn't gross and icky.

It's one of those things where I'm glad I'm in the UK. There are so much better bra options this side of the Atlantic

How so?

[angelofthenorth]

I've found that in the UK there are more bras available for those above a DD cup, and bras that are supportive and comfortable for larger sizes, and don't give so much problems with under-boob sweat and things like that because the fabric wicks it away.

I used to belong to a BB that was US-UK and some of the USA people would discuss how difficult it was getting larger size bras, and bras that were designed for comfort/sports/practicality rather than looking sexy and light and impractical :)

I think I like these primarily for how aggressively non-sexy they are. They look like the top of a terrible outfit on a cheesecake fantasy illustration - except you realize that they're made of bulky towel material and they're about boob sweat.

I'm not gonna get one though.

Yeah, if I want a towel under my breasts while I'm hanging at home, I'll just... use a towel.

The antiperspirant under the boobs is a summer essential.

Having said that those towels look like a real wear around the house (in the privacy of home) possibility.

As a size G that has terrible trouble with boob sweat...

I want a dozen, plz.

[wendelah1]

I'm just a 38E but mine are...settled, shall we say. I think three would do nicely.

[yuuo]

I'm hoping there's different colors. Thus, the dozen. XD

Sadly the two times I've tried deodorant under the boobs, I've rashed up. It doesn't affect my arms but the boobs sadly don't like my deodorant.

Underboob sweat is the worst. I get a yeast infection under my boobs about once a year because of it. I've been hesitant to swipe deodorant under them because my bras are expensive and I don't want to stain them. I'm proud to be able to find pretty bras in large sizes and I hate to do that to them.

[conuly]

Well, we all have our priorities, but I'd definitely go with stained bras and no sweat than pretty bras but yeast infections.

Have you tried cornstarch or baking soda? Some people use those for homemade sweat control....
