I use these products as I have quite a few of their poloshirts and undershirts. The absorbent pads soak up excess underarm sweat and they keep your clothing free of sweat patches and stains. The pads fit into discreet pockets in the underarm areas of their teeshirts and poloshirts IYSWIM? I'm not very good at explaining! Their website explains it better :D

The teeshirts and poloshirts are German/Swiss made so great quality and the fabric is really comfortable. I bought my first shirt three years ago and it still washes up like new.

Trial pack of absorbent inserts/pads for underarm (axillar) sweating.


ETA: I just wanted to emphasise that the underarm pads are made *specifically* for their shirts. They don't have any other uses because they're too small to make effect sweat shields out of and there's no way of attaching them to your clothing or skin unless you're wearing their shirts.

Please don't order unless you or someone you know has Hyperhidrosis and you think this might be a good solution for your underarm sweating. It's not fair on anyone if people order items they don't need just because they're free - it will eventually increase the prices for those of us who really need products like this and it's not very eco friendly either.

Thanks guys :)

    I know its not free, but why not just stick some pantyliners under your pits more mse!:p
    They cost about £1 for 50 in all the supermarkets, they are sticky so will stick securely to your clothes!
    No one said it was gonna be easy!

    It's a good idea in principle but when you sweat bucketloads like some people do, the pantyliners get soaked, the adhesive fails and you end up with big fat wet sweat patches and yellow stains on your clothes and a mini sanitary towel either flapping about on the outside of your clothing where it's so heavy with sweat it's slid down your sleeve, hanging off the back of your teeshirt or jeans where you've sat on it or laying on the floor next to your desk. Not a good thing!

    For pantyliners to work for Hyperhidrosis, they'd need to be a lot more absorbent, have a sweat-proof membrane so the sweat doesn't pass through to your clothes and sophisticated adhesive. You might just as well drop a pantyliner into a bucket of water and cut out the middle bit :o

    I have to say I'm pretty disgusted. I've had an email from the company who told me they've had in excess of a hundred orders for these but not a single order for the shirts they are used as part of. That means there are hundreds of these underarm pads just going to waste as they're completely useless without the shirts - and this is costing the company a lot of money. I explained all this above but someone has also taken the information and added it to another website (maybe more).

    I thought MSE was about living responsibly, not trying to ruin businesses for the buzz of getting something for free - especially when it's made abundantly clear that it's completely useless without a second product - and a specific miserable skin disease.

    So if anyone wants to know why the link was removed - the reason is 'greed'.

    To be fair to those who've ordered and I haven't, you didn't make it clear that they wouldn't work without the clothing and were only therefore for users of them already!

    i saw this when you first posted it, and i do suffer from hyperhydrosis, am using driclo from my doctor, but it doesnt really work much, just burns my skin. i would have loved to have these, however i didnt order any samples as i do not have the shirt and i realised that they were useless without the shirt, but also realised that a 69euros, i could afford to buy a shirt either. a good idea in principal tho

    Hi Torry Quine - I'm not having a go but the poster after you was clear about it! My third sentence was
    "The pads fit into discreet pockets in the underarm areas of their teeshirts and poloshirts"
    . I honestly thought that was clear! I even added the ETA a few hours later to spell it out further. The only reason the ETA is showing as just being updated as I've gone in to edit my post to make sure the link was definitely removed.

    It's miserable enough having this disease - because I thought I might be helping a few people like me to find a solution, I now feel hideous about inadvertently causing this company so much trouble.

    My moans were only aimed at those people who ordered these for the hell of it, not at anyone else.

    Torry eh? Furry boots? I'm fae Muchalls and really miss it. For a start you cannae get Butteries or clootie dumpling here and naebody knows how tae make decent stovies :eek: I hope the sun splits the trees tomorrow x
