The 1 shopping trick you need when you sweat

I know how this sounds ahah. But please let me explain.

When you go shopping and have hyperhidrosis, that small trick can go a long way!

Even though I have learned over time what fabrics, colors, shapes, etc. to get for my clothes, I still sometimes look at a piece of clothing and hesitate: it probably won’t show sweat but … what if?

So before I buy something, and when I doubt, I put the piece though a quick test: I lick my finger and put it on the piece! This matters more than ever now that so many everyday clothes borrow from activewear and technical fabrics — those synthetic blends behave very differently from cotton when they get wet, so the trick is worth doing even on pieces that don’t look athletic at all.

  • If it left a trace, it’s no good, it means it will show  sweat a lot!
  • If it does not show then bingo, I can buy it!

I started this blog to help people adapt their fashion styles to their sweating. I've had hands and feet hyperhidrosis for 15+ years (a health disorder due to sweat glands hyperfunctioning), and after a successful surgery to fix it, I now deal with the normal compensatory sweating side effect of the surgery. Since the sweating areas changed, I had to adapt my style, outfits, and shopping habits to my sweating both before and after the surgery. Everything I write is based on first-hand experience, which I hope will help others feel their most confident in their outfits.
