Three weeks? OMG that's a long journey for a t-shirt...
- pcurve 4y agoit is... white shirt will definitely stain yellow if you go just a few days w/o washing.
- michaelcampbell 4y agoThe yellow is generally because of the deodorant you're using, not the sweat.
- throw_pm23 4y agoHaven't noticed this with wool shirts -- none of them are white though.
- kemayo 4y agoPit stains stem from a chemical reaction with the aluminum in antiperspirants. The easiest way to never have to deal with them ever again is to switch to using a non-antiperspirant deodorant.
- substation13 4y agoHmm I never wear deoderant but some of the white cotton t-shirts I use for light exercise have stains.
- kemayo 4y agoTechnically there's some medical conditions that make your sweat colored, but I suspect you'd have noticed that more generally... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromhidrosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromhidrosis
- NDizzle 4y agoIs there a single one of those aluminum-free deodorants that actually works? I've tried about 4 brands, and scent blocking lasts about 4-6 hours. Not good enough. Good old white-colored old spice (I'm allergic to the blue colored ones) last about 30 hours.
- kemayo 4y agoI've had good results with the Arm & Hammer Essentials line: https://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Essentials-Natural-Deodorant/dp/B00MUE56R6 https://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Essentials-Natural-Deodora... I gather that body odor is closely tied to your own personal skin microbiome, which might explain very divergent effectiveness of products unfortunately.
- throw_pm23 4y agoThey have a very different feel from cotton t-shirts, which I would normally change daily. I was also quite skeptical when I heard, and occasionally ask others to make sure I'm not fooling myself w.r. smell. Also, if I did heavy sports in them, I may stop, even if it was just a week or two. Casual daily wearing could easily go for a month.
