THOMPSON TEEWomen's Sweatproof Undershirt - Deep V Neck - Slim Fit - with Sweat Pads

These absolutely work to retain wetness and odor away from your outer shirt.

These are a game changer for me. I looked at different brands, including the expensive Numi, but decided to try these as I wouldn’t be out as much money if it didn’t work. Others have complained about the padding, but it’s not excessive and once I went about my day, I didn’t even notice it. The tee does make a little noise with arm movements, but again once you put something on over it, it’s a nonissue. I’ve worn it all day in situations where normally, I’d have sweat through my shirt and been self consciously aware of starting to smell, and amazingly, NO sweating through and NO smell! I could honesty wear my outer shirt again. I hang dry my tees and it does take quite a bit longer to dry, but doesn’t bother me. Only thing I am worried about is that the pits of this tee will absorb the smell to the point it does come out in the wash. Will have to see if that happens. I'm a standard size medium in everything, but bought a large so it wouldn’t be as constricting and it is perfect. I love the length too, can be securely tucked in and doesn’t ride up if not tucked. I may still splurge on a Numi eventually, but for now will definitely buy a couple more of these.

In the last few years I have become a sweater... I sweat when I'm hot - I sweat when I'm cold, when I'm nervous, when I'm anxious - it. never. stops. By the time I drive to work in the morning, I have already sweated through my clothing. It's been a nightmare.I have had to completely abandon most of my closet and buy lose, flowy shirts with low arm seams - or put on my "granny shawl" at work to hid the stains.I have a big meeting at work where I will be presenting to a large group - I bought this shirt in the hopes it will save me from complete embarrassment because I know I will be a solid puddle that day. I decided to test it out before the big day next week.I got up yesterday and showered as always. I skipped putting on my usual antiperspirants - (hey, I was alone, and if you're gonna test it, I say, "give it a challenge!") I put on the shirt and continued my day at home of cleaning, some light yard work (June in the South), and running up and down stairs all day.First Impressions: The shirt is soft was other reviews mention. I got a size Small and it fits me well. Not too tight, but hugs me where it should. I like the size of the underarm pads, I felt "covered". The pads do make a noise when you move your arms, (like fabric moving against fabric), but its a small thing to me.I did sweat! I could feel the pads doing their job. At one point in the day they felt very damp (not soggy, wet - just damp). Not the greatest feeling in the world, but when I sat down again and tried to relax after about 30mins or so I could feel them drying out again.You do feel the pads. Some reviews mention its like having a maxi pad under your arm. I wouldn't go that far. For me, I like that I can feel the pad as it makes me feel assured that the barrier is there. But its not bulky and it does not restrict movement at all.I am very pleased so far! I kept the shirt on all day and not once did I sweat through the pads. I am so excited at the possibility of having my entire closet to choose from again!

There are some differences between this under-clothing liner shirt and the Numi variety that leads the market in undershirts for women. The sleeve is fold-trimmed, so it creates a bit more bulk and visibility than the invisible sleeve on the Numi. And the armpit sweat pads are noticeably larger and thicker, creating a bit of an uncomfortable bulk in a place I don't like much. The neckline is good, and low enough for everyday wear, and the bottom hemline is long, so it stays tucked in well. I don't care for how bulking the sweat pads are when I wear it under sweaters (which was the reason I bought it) so I now wear it to sleep. I probably should have just returned it, since I have an abundance of sleeping clothes already.

Works well in preventing sweat stains on your tops. I suffer from HH and can wear basically anything without worrying about patches. I however don't really like the fact that the sweat accumulates in your underarms and makes you feel clammy all day. Sometimes I just prefer to wear black and not go through this. Also, after a few times using it (even if I wash after every use), because of the bacterias coming from sweat, it starts to smell funny. Having worn my TTs enough to know if they are gonna last long with this funny smell. These are way too expensive to be worn only a few times, so hopefully that won't be the case.Finally, I don't really know how this works but despite the fact that you can't see the sweat stains on the outer fabric, the region gets so humid with the accumulation of sweat (if you have HH) that it is kind of wet nonetheless. I once wore a blazer with a silk lining on top of my button-up shirt (on top of the TT), and the silk was mildly wet even though the cotton button-up wasn't. So I guess it's not 100% effective.Overall, helps, but I find it uncomfortable and am waiting to see if they get smelly over time. If that is the case, this will be a deal-breaker.
