Men's Sweatproof Undershirt - Cotton Crew Neck - Original Fit - with Sweat Pads

Husband Loves these. They work great for him at work. uses as an undershirt. He bought four more to have enough for whole week. This keeps the sweat from staining your top shirt.! Seam quality is great. length is perfect. Size is snug because it is an undershirt. - so if you consider it is a snug undershirt i feel it is true to size.

Bought this black sweat-blocking shirt specifically for wearing under a black dress-shirt and a rather heavy coat. My youngest daughter was getting married and the usual nerves were in play. I tend to sweat heavily in general, and much worse from the arm pits. Even when I was assisting in removing and stacking chairs, bring down lights and loading cars with food .. and sweating like a racehorse .. my dress shirt remained dry and there was no odor even at the end of a very active and a bit nerve-wracking night! I purchased the long-cut white version of this same shirt for wear under a mostly white dress shirt and suit, for the wedding of my older daughter a few years back. It was in a warmer, more humid climate and it performed just as well. I have washed the white one twice, and the black one once and there has been no decrease in sweat absorption, or odor protection. The shirts did not shrink with washing. I don't use this type of shirt daily, only for situations where it really counts. They are expensive, as t-shirts go, but given their purpose and effectiveness, I think they're worth it.

I have suffered severe hyperhidrosis since I was a teenager. It was something I suffered in silence... for a young woman, it was quite embarrassing: I couldn't wear cute colors, cute clothes, and had to always be secretly daubing at my dripping underarms with napkins or tissue. Fellow-sufferers know just what I'm talking about. Severe hyperhidrosis can be -- no, correction; IS -- a socially-debilitating condition. It is truly awful. Now in menopause and my early 50's, my sweating thankfully has reduced significantly. BUT the great news is that you -- the younger heavy-sweating folks of today -- have a non-surgical and drug-free solution in this fantastic new shirt. Wow, how I wish this product was available 20-30 years ago. I can't even imagine how awesome this would have been to have had in my ealier (heavy-sweating) days. ONE OF MY THREE SONS had the unfortunate luck of inheriting my hyperhidrosis gene. He has hyperhidrosis bad. He sweats bullets, buckets; it's okay for guys to sweat though, right?!? ... I thought "oh it's good you're not a girl," but trust me it's still bad for him. He's told me this often. And it DOES bother him. He's in college now, and he recently sent me a photo of his sweat marks and said, "Mom, this is just ridiculous... there has to be something I can do for this." I went online to continue my search for solutions, as I have done for the past several years for both my sake and his. We have looked into alternate solutions like drugs, and extreme solutions like botox and surgery. None of which we are willing to do for various reason which I won't go into here (although certainly money is one of them.) Then... something promising! I stumbled upon the Thompson Tee while doing more Googling (sweat-proof shirts, no sweat clothing, etc.) After reading the description, checking the reviews on Amazon, and then further exploring the Thompson Tee website, I was convinced this was at least a very good step in the right direction! But I was reticent to get too excited just yet because the "footprint" of the underarm barrier didn't look nearly as big as the sweat stain in the photo my son had sent me. I thought, "surely he would sweat right through this thing, right?" So I contacted the people at Thompson Tee via email, explaining my doubt that this would work for my son's particular case. This was their quick reply: "Have you tried our shirts yet? Our Hydro-Shield has an absorbent layer that will absorb more than a regular shirt will, so it's protective ability is greater than what the sweat mark on regular shirts show. All our shirts come with an unconditional guarantee even if they've been worn/washed so feel free to try it out." Now I was really encouraged. I was so hopeful that I ordered one for my son right away. But I still didn't want to believe this could really be a solution until we actually tested it out. Or rather, my SON tested it out. So fast-forward to Christmas break, the order arrives, my son is home from college and available to test out the new "sweat-proof" shirt. He first wore it to a friend's house one night, and said it worked fine. But it was a low-key evening; not a really good test of the tee shirt. The real test was going to be a few nights later when he went to a night club where there would be LOTS of old and new friends to meet, lots of dancing and socializing, and most likely an overly-warm temperature in the place. From my memory of my own hyperhidrosis, this would *definitely* be one of the best tests for the tee. The results came in the day after the big evening: I asked him how the shirt worked and if it helped. He grinned in amazement and said, "Wow, Just Wow! I really thought it would be soaking wet and uncomfortable, because I know I sweated A LOT. I thought the sweat had to be showing somewhere ... but somehow it seemed to absorb it all. I totally had Z.E.R.O. wet stains on my shirt. It helped a TON!" So if you've read my review this far, my advice is this: Go give this shirt a real test drive as soon as you can. The company has fantastic customer support, and you can return it after 30 days even if you've worn and washed it (and sweat in it, haha) with no strings attached! I'll bet if you really do have severe hyperhidrosis you will be singing praises for this product, too! Thanks Thompson Tee inventor.

This undershirt works really well! The cotton fabric is soft and comfortable, and the built-in sweat pads make a big difference in keeping shirts dry. It fits nicely without feeling tight and is easy to wear under work clothes or everyday outfits. A great option if you deal with sweating and want extra confidence throughout the day.

If you want a REAL & THOUGHT-OUT review that isn't just thrown at you by a bitter person read on..... If you actually work at a fast physical pace and don't want to ever have to deal with underarm sweat even having hyperhidrosis or not, this is the best thing you can buy. I think that's what a review should reflect: If you are looking for a solution to pit sweating that isn't from a doctor than this is the best thing any can find. If there is anything anyone dislikes about how well this undershirt does it's job, I honestly mean no offense, but they need to Seek Medical Attention Immediately for any number of possible medical issues. What I mean by that is if this doesn't completely hide your exterior sweat issues then I can vouch for the fact that there are not other options besides seeing a doctor. I have hyperhidrosis (already seen a doctor for it) and I ruined my entire wardrobe out of denial and stupidity, plus having to try other cheaper attempts at a medical solution before my insurance will cover Botox. I sweat so severely that I've tried absorbing pads meant for under the armpit, I've tried other solutions like panty liners and I've tried other under shirts with similar padding. In the past I've picked shirts meant to show as little sweat as possible so when I'm at work I don't look disgusting because I have so much sweat under my arms. I can honestly tell you after trying this product on my busiest hottest most active days... It. Didn't. Show. Anything. I won't lie, I'm a little upset reading negative reviews because none of them seem to focus on the entire point of the shirt: the fact that it actually works and it does its job as well as promised. Now, if I was being pessimistic I would consider saying something like 'it makes you sweat more because it's so thick and makes you hotter'. HOWEVER, all undershirts will have that effect and 'WHO CARES?' because no one will SEE the sweat and it WICKS it right up under your armpits. As a matter of fact at the end of my sweatiest day this month my armpits felt drier than the rest of my torso and back because of the absorbent material under the arms. Because of this shirt I have finally felt for the first time in a year-and-a-half that I am not wasting my money rebuilding my whole stock of completely ruined shirts. I actually spent hundreds of dollars on new dress shirts because I finally feel like I won't ruin them in 2 wears anymore. Sizing was spot-on for standard t-shirt fitting. I'll read negative reviews and again I'm not out to bash those who haven't actually thought it through. But, based on a standard shirt bought at a standard store it fits bout spot on and anyone who still thinks it should be skin tight is missing the point of the product (not just to soak up sweat but to help wick up and 'air out' your pits). So it's good size wise as long as you don't base your sizing on somewhere like Abercrombie & Fitch or some store that uses different sizing as a sales technique because you have the opportunity to try it out in the store so you think everything else is sized wrong. Now I feel I should address reviews who complain about how it didn't actually evaporate the moisture that it wicked up, yet still wicked it up and still never saw it on the outside. First of all, if you're sweating A LOT consider the science of fluids. Water isn't normally capable of evaporating as fast as some ppl sweat. Second, I looked closer at the ones I saw saying this and they were wearing things like a jacket for 2 hours or have on something skin tight and not breathable. No rocket scientist needed here to figure out why the moisture couldn't evaporate, not the products fault, but perhaps user's miss interpretation of this product's technology. Also, for those who want the length of the arms to be shorter cut you're kinda missing the point of the shirt again and don't seem to realize how far down your arm the sweat will run or spread to. Something to keep in mind for sizing is that you may want your undershirt to be a size smaller than the shirt you wear on the top layer so it is not as easily seen underneath that shirt or cause extra wrinkles under a dress shirt. Not a bash on the product though. Lastly, as far as it holding up in the washer I haven't had a single problem with it and I have washed my first two shirts five times with a little bit of detergent, vinegar water, and dish soap each time. Now, it's just an opinion, but I think that anyone who complains about it getting holes after one wash or not holding up in the washing machine should consider actually using that setting labeled 'gentle' or consider getting a new washing machine. Bottom line is it holds up just as well as any shirt I have, and better than ones that cost twice as much. "This is what all undershirts should be like."

Works great!

I read most of the reviews before spending nearly $30 on this shirt and while the majority of them were positive, some of the negatives ones were troubling. However, after only one day of wearing this shirt I am very satisfied with it's performance and will be purchasing several more in the future. I have always, since puberty, sweated heavily under my arms - soaking through max strength deodorant, an undershirt, a shirt, and sometimes even a light coat of sweater. I bought this Thompson Tee in the hopes of being able to stem the tide and reclaim my nicely colored shirt and confidence without worrying about the giant dark sweat rings! Pros: 1. It works. It prevents the sweat from reaching your outer clothing. I wore it an entire work day beneath a dress shirt and a coat.. and still have a dry work shirt! No rings, no stains. 2. It's comfortable, it fit as expected (I got a large and wear a 34/35 dress shirt). It's soft, form fitting, and stayed tucked in. Cons: I do not consider these as a fault of the product, but they are worth mentioning. 1. You will still sweat.. and yes, as others have mentioned, the pads will hold sweat against skin. You can feel it. It's not uncomfortable, as it is something I've dealt with for the past 20 years, but it may be off putting to some people. And yes, it does create a "billowing" effect to draw air into your underarms, but if you sweat excessively (like I assume you do) it will not entirely dry up. 2. The under padding in the arms does take some getting used to... it's just thicker beneath your pits, but again not uncomfortable. There is sort of a diaper effect, but I expected that. The bottom line is that this thing kept my dress shirt dry - it gave the appearance that I do not sweat. Nice, clean, dry under arms after a 10 hour day of wearing a long sleeve shirt and coat. I took off the coat to eat lunch and behold, no rings! It was an enjoyable difference to be able to wave at people or give an open armed hug. If you just want to keep sweat off your shirts and out of public scrutiny, this shirt will do it. I plan to update this review after I see how well it holds up to constant sweating and washing. UPDATE: This past weekend I wore my Thompson Tee to take family photos in lightly colored dress shirts, which is always a nightmare for me. I am so happy to report that after being caught outside in the afternoon sun for over an hour, my baby blue dress shirt was dry as a bone! It is the first time in decades that I comfortably and confidently had photos taken without worrying about keeping my underarms hidden. That seals the deal, Thompson Tee's are my undershirts from now on.

I stumbled upon this product while researching solutions to my recently acquired sweating issue. I had no idea that such a shirt product existed. So I am writing this for people in that situation too. I have anxiety/stress induced sweating issues. I would not say it’s overly excessive. But I will sweat through my dress shirt every day at work and on weekends I am much better. To the point that I keep a stash of undershirts in my desk to change into after lunch. And I have a system where I shut my door and dry my dress shirt using a space heater. Anyhoo, I am happy with this product in the context of what it is: a diaper shirt. Upon inspection, it seems to have a semi-permeable material (think, the Tyvek sheets that you see around houses on construction sites) sewn into the underarms. With additional cotton layers for absorption… in other words, a diaper. This way, water vapor can get through but liquid cannot. The product is very well assembled and seems excellent quality. The absorbent area is large and well placed. The rest of the shirt is a fairly normal cotton shirt with excellent length to stay tucked-in (regular undershirt manufacturers should take note on Thompson’s length). Basically what happens is, you pee…I mean sweat… like “normal” (if you’re reading a review of this product you’re not normal, by the way) and the sweat absorbs in the designated area but can’t get through that membrane to stain your outer shirt. I can say that it definitely 100% works for me. Now that’s not to say this product doesn’t have some drawbacks. But that does not mean this is not a 5 star product; it does exactly as it says it does. First drawback is comfort. The underarm area has several layers so it’s bulky in that area. And it’s not a cool (temperature-wise) shirt. So if your sweating is more heat-related and less stress-related this shirt might be an issue, I’m not sure. Also, by later afternoon you’re going to have a full diaper. It’s soggy and can be uncomfortable. Albeit, your outer shirt will be stain-free. The other thing is, you can really only wear this with a long sleeve outer shirt, maybe a polo would work. If they could invent something to be worn under a regular t-shirt that would really be something. Based on my experience and looking at other reviews, you may find the sizing tricky. I can tell you that I normally buy large undershirts and a L Thompson was perfect (it was a tad smaller than expected but that turned out to be a good thing). You want this shirt to be on the tight side so it’s effective. Overall, I would say this product works and deserves a 5 star review. I will be buying a few more so I can wear them daily to work. I have worn it 3 times and washed it twice. At first, you’ll notice the membrane has a bit of a crinkle noise to it when moving but this went away after it starts getting wet from sweat. It launders pretty well but I did notice that perhaps the cotton shirt shrinks at a different rate than the membrane material so it seems bulkier after the initial wash.
