Q: I don't have much of a sweat problem, but my some of my shirts tell otherwise. I'm 100% sure it's not because i'm sweating, but it's my deoderant. I have stains on the underarms of my shirts that look like patches of sweat. So, my question is, is there any way possible to get rid of these stains?
If the stains are yellow, then they are due to aluminum in the deodorant. For some reason, aluminum can cause sweat stains to be yellowish.. Also, you might want to try switching to a gel deodorant, or, as the the person below mentioned, something that goes on clear- of course, the only way to be completely certain is to use a gel/gel solid- Dry Idea, even men's deodorant, or Secret Platinum are all clear. Or, you could switch to a more natural deodorant-all of which are clear- especially since you do not have major issues with sweating. Tom's of Maine has natural (or mostly natural) deodorants.. I use Queen Helene deodorant (also has no aluminum) which works well for me- you can find it at Whole Foods (if you're in the states) or online.

thank you :D
