Blue Stains

Little_Belle

I have quite an embarresing question...

I have found that a lot of my clothes have blue stains on them, all my knickers down the edges of the crouch and my tops under the armpit (basically where I sweat most)

So I have two questions, 1 WHY are my clothes turning blue where i sweat, I thought sweat stains were yellow! its quite disconcerting lifting my arms up and instead of being pink with a dark patch (when i'm hot) its pink with a blue stain (I do wear other colours but thats the first colour that popped into my head) And these marks do not come out when I wash the clothes.

and 2 how do i get rid of the blue stains....

I have looked on the forum for sweat removal and saw about bicarb and stuff but will that work on 'blue' , and my main concern is why it is blue do I sweat bleach?? lol

Thanks

Are you on medication?
Do you use a mineral deodorant?
Do you use a body lotion?

Maybe it could be a residue of bodywash?

Apart from that i have no idea! Never heard of that before

I've heard about this before, although just underarms, and it turned out to be the deodorant they were using, once they changed to a different brand the problem stopped. It was something to do with the chemicals reacting with sweat. If you're also getting the blue stain on your knickers I would guess it's your soap or shower gel that's causing the problem.
