Underarm stains on white shirts.

This is going to sound like I'm joking, but I'd say try not to sweat so much.

urine and sweat are both similar in their secondary role of emitting nitrogen-containing wastes. Compounds containing nitric acid stain things yellow very easily. I think if the sweat has enough extra stuff (salt, maybe aluminum, dirt from being a slob) to form weak Nitric Acid, the yellowing can get worse.

Thats about the only solution. Exact reason why Crusher's office is like a freakin meat locker and all the old folks come in and tell me to turn the heat up. We bought 10 nice fuzzy blankets and problem solved. My problem isn;t yellowing shirts, I never wear white, food stains show up to much. My problem is looking like I took a 10 mile jog after only walking to the bathroomn.

Heh, sorry Crusher, I didnt want to bring weight into the picture but I assume larger folk see the problem without even trying very hard.

I'm a computer guy, never sweat, and my shirts last 10+ years.

I shower sometimes 2 times a day and I really scrub my pits im far from a slob. Alot of people have this issue. My dry cleaner told me he has numerous customers men and women who have clothes stained yellow in the pits.

OK, so you are not a slob, but nervous and fidgety. :)

Not at all and I barely sweat. My dry cleaner says its a common problem caused by deodorant that stains white clothing on men and women. There has to be a deodorant/anti-perspirent that doesnt cause this on the common market.

Portly. Well-endowed. Skinny. (Thin people don't deserve the term skinny, they have half the skin fat people do)

Fat people have big dicks?

Most deodorants don't have aluminium. It's anti-perpirants that have the aluminium. I'm not a fan of anti-perspirant, but that's a personal choice. I've heard the aluminium in anti-perpirants can cause alzheimers/dementia, but I think that's since been disproved (or never proven by satifactory tests) I'd never heard about it staining shirts - if my dress shirts stain anywhere it's "ring around the collar". I just do what Vic does. Truth be told, my wife does, but I'm not looking the gift horse in the mouth.

My pharmacist highly recommends Gillette clinical sport ALUMINUM FREE. I will let all you guys ashamed to admit it you have yellow pits know how it works out.

He was mistaken I went to buy it and read the ingredients it contains aluminum. No dice still searching for aluminum free.

The MLM companies like Melaleuca have them, but I don't think you could buy from them without being a member.

Amway might have something like that too, if you don't know anybody, do a search online for reps in your area, and maybe they would sell you some.

Are you insisting on anti-perspirant and not deodorant? It's really not that hard to find. Regular Old Spice high endurance deodorant doesn't have aluminium. They have it in every drug store. If you're not a sweaty bastard you should be fine.

Yes I noticed that deodroants are aluminum free. Im gonna give one a shot as I just bought a bunch of new white shirts.

Now you will have wet spots instead of yellow. How about different color shirts? Like yellow maybe? I mean hey, I wear brown undies and it's not just a fashion statement.

Brown undies... :o Reminds me of the time when your mom was doing your laundry and she asked you if you were in an accident? You said no mom why? Well because you have skid marks on your gotchies.

I just tossed about 10 expensive dress shirts and 30 white t-shirts all with yellow stains under the arms. The minute I see this discoloring I wont wear the shirt again. Does anyone know of a good anti-perspirent/deodorant that doesnt cause yellow stains?

Its from the ingredients in the deodorant. My wife being from Germany said that she never had this problem until she came to the states.

This helps, but the liquid kind is messy and makes your pits itch and the solid kind isn't as effective.

Avoid white whenever possible and wear an undershirt.

Under-shirt pits are whats turning yellow. Heres the latest im going to try Right Guard Total Defense Arctic Fresh DEODORANT. No aluminum listed as this an ingredient in anti-perspirent.
