Sweating can be so inconvenient sometimes... That’s why we created sweat-absorbing deodorants specifically to combat it! But there’s a particular type of sweat that’s especially uncomfortable and irritating for some – underboob sweat.

WHAT CAUSES UNDERBOOB SWEAT?

Pilates class, rushing to the office, stress… it can get SWEATY out there. Your favourite bra ends up drenched, or your T-shirt gets stained with sweat patches. Underboob sweat is an unpleasant but common issue that some people experience.

This happens because the underboob area, especially for women with larger or ptotic breasts, has restricted airflow. This traps moisture, creating the ideal environment for bacteria to thrive, which can lead to unpleasant odours, irritation, and sometimes infections.

Infections can develop when the skin becomes irritated, either from skin rubbing against itself or from friction with your bra. This irritation can lead to bacterial or fungal infections.

But, is there a solution to this?

THE BEST DEODORANT FOR UNDERBOOB SWEAT

A simple yet effective solution is to apply AKT’s award-winning The Deodorant Balm to the area.

While some recommend antiperspirants, we advise against using them. The FDA classifies antiperspirants as a medical product because they contain aluminium salts, which block sweat glands to reduce sweating. However, since sweating helps regulate body temperature, blocking underboob sweat may lead to increased sweating elsewhere (such as your inner thighs, buttocks, and armpits). There is also debate about a potential link between antiperspirants and breast cancer, but there are no strong studies or conclusive evidence supporting this claim.

Additionally, antiperspirants can cause irritation, dry skin, and those yellowish stains that never seem to wash out of clothes. You can read more in our Deodorant vs Antiperspirant Guide.

So, is there a deodorant for underboob sweat? Absolutely! The Deodorant Balm.

Our unique formula, with Deo-Barrier Complex™, is designed to keep you feeling fresh and dry all day. It transforms from a luxurious, skin-nourishing balm into a dry, invisible powder: actively protecting, deodorising, and absorbing perspiration all day – without blocking pores, staining clothes, or causing those nuisance underboob sweat rashes.

Still not convinced? Here are some reviews:

• “And for a bonus, those of us with larger chests who suffer in the summer with underboob sweat, a wipe of this under there makes the world of difference.”
• “Unlike the over-the-counter products – it also works underboob :-0 and I suppose if you had any other problem areas.”
• “I’ve never tried anything like this before, and it works better than anything else I’ve used! Amazing to be able to apply it to my underboobs and save myself a sweaty time there. I think this is a fabulous product that really stands above the rest in the field. Thank you AKT for developing this game-changer.”

UNDERBOOB SWEAT SOLUTIONS

Thankfully, there are several solutions to help tackle underboob sweat. These can help prevent itchiness, infections, and, most importantly, discomfort. Here are a few suggestions:

• Avoid synthetic fabrics like nylon, acrylic, or spandex. If you use activewear for workouts, we recommend switching to more breathable fabrics like cotton, which will be gentler on the skin.
• Shower straight after working out. Properly cleansing those areas can reduce bacterial build-up and odour. We recommend using The Body Wash Concentrate. Our show-stopping body wash prepares, protects, and enriches your skin’s delicate microbiome with performance-leading ingredients. Just remember to pack it with you for the gym!
• If the area is already slightly irritated, use The Body Conditioning Balm. Fortified with antioxidants and Gatuline Intense MB, our body balm helps keep your skin hydrated and supple while boosting collagen production.

Remember, feeling comfortable in your own skin is about finding what works best for you. Whether you're hitting the gym, heading to work, or enjoying a warm day out, having the right tools in your routine can make all the difference. Don’t let sweat steal your spotlight — stay confident, comfortable, and in control, no matter what!
