How to Avoid Underarm Stains

Prevent underarm stains with a few methods.

Yellow underarm stains are extremely unattractive and ruin the look of everything from the common t-shirt to the the most expensive, high-end designer shirt. However, underarm stains can be avoided with a few simple steps. These methods range from changing the kind of deodorant used on the underarms to altering the types of clothing worn. If used in combination, the likelihood of underarm stains appearing drops significantly.

Things You'll Need

• Loose clothing
• Deodorant
• Undershirt

Instructions

1. Switch from an anti-perspirant deodorant to a standard deodorant. Although standard deodorants do not block out sweat, they do prevent the yellow stains from appearing on clothing.

2. Wear loose-fitting clothing when the temperature (or humidity) increases. Tight-fitting clothing is more likely to stain than looser clothing.

3. Always wear an undershirt you don't mind staining as a protective layer closest to your body. If you don't want to switch deodorants or wear loose clothing, this is the best alternative since the undershirt will absorb the majority of sweat and stains.
