Dealing with pit stains...what do y'all do?

[Luke Cage]

They are caused by deodorants, but they are also caused by sweat, or a combination of both things. If you don't wear deodorants, you can still get those stains, right?

What washing technique do you use to get them out?

Have any of you invested in those expensive t-shirts that pretty much put a little pillow of pad underneath your armpit so that it doesn't stain through to the shirt?

I don't reside in India or Canada, so this is not a look that I would be comfortable with.

I noticed that better quality shirts are often more resistant to staining because they have less saturation. I can sweat through a thin cheap t shirt. But a nicer one is usually thicker ( don't know if i'm using the right terms. maybe higher thread count?)
Also wearing undershirts

Soak your shirts in a strong detergent overnight, and then wash with hot water.

I’ve only had that problem when I was sweaty, due to anxiety from performing on stage.

I buy a new shirt

Yea I was going to say to charge the shirt to the game, or if u really like the shirt don’t wear it as much

Shelf life on tshirts kinda short

Buy the deodorant that doesn’t stain.

Don’t walk around like these natural deodorant musty nikkas

I use Oxy clean, spray on the area, rub the fabric together, let it sit, then wash

Don't wear cotton

Or wear dark t shirts in scenarios where you know you’re going to sweat a lot and want to keep the garment fresh.

You can also benefit from washing the clothes sooner and not allowing it to rust

These work - I wear them under my dress shirts and sweaters.

I wore an extra white tee under my expensive tee or shirt to take the blows..

Does aluminum free deo help?

Only use aluminum free deo and still get them.

Like others have said just wear another shirt underneath (not my preferred style) or make sure you're not going to be too much walking or moving in your nice shirts.

For my active shirts, I'll buy black (it doesn't show) or white shirts (I can bleach tf out of em).

Other than that their going in the trash and I'll buy a new one.

The under Tee's I overused developed a thick hard mass in the pit's area.
I suspect they removed some cancer causing chemical that didn't cause this shyt in the 90s..I don't know about Deo effects on clothing in the he 80s but this has to be a new formulation.

Facts my shyt be turning hard, yellow and crusty in the pit.


Even after they've been washed a billion times it ain't fixing it.

That's why I just throw them out. No point in holding on to t shirts like their Bitcoin.

You have to throw them out, can't even donate them.

Because even out the wash, that mass still retains that natural armpit scent..

..you can't miss it
