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. She has had hands and feet hyperhidrosis for 15+ years (a health disorder due to sweat glands hyperfunctioning) and after a successful surgery to fix it, now deals with the normal compensatory sweating side effect of the surgery. Since the sweating areas changed, she had to adapt her style, outfits and shopping habits to her sweating both before and after the surgery. Everything i write is based on first-hand experience, which she hopes will help others be their most confident in their outfits.
