A "wet" problem haha

Hello all...

I'm not sure if any other ladies have this problem... but I always seem to get a big wet ring of sweat on my BUTT. eck...its embarrasing. I know its just due to working out hard...but I don't want other people to see my "butt sweat" haha Anyone else have this problem? It seems it is especially a big problem in cotton type bottoms. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thx!
 
anyone? (o:
 
Use black shorts/whatev, doesnt show much then.

edit: or you could use a good antiperspirant with aluminum chloride or similar, then you wont sweat at all.

Isn't cotton breathable? It's a natural fiber as opposed to synthetic. I would think that synthetic fibers will worsent the problem.

I'd start by making sure I AM wearing cotton or other natural fibers. Also are you wearing undies? Maybe you can just tie a tee around your waist?
 
There are some workout clothes made of fibers designed to breathe better. I can't think of what it's called exactly, but most places that carry workout clothes will have some.

They do tend to be a bit more expensive than just plain ol' cotton stuff, especially since most I've seen are made from name brand fitness clothes (like Adidas, Nike, etc). They make a good quality product anyway, so it's probably worth a little extra $$.

Oh, and I would wear mostly black or navy to minimize how visible it is, besides, the darker colors can make you look more slim *bonus*
 
I just don't really understand why I sweat so much on my lower back! My friend goes with me to the gym and works out just as hard...if not harder sometimes...and she never gets "swamp ass" haha It just drives me nuts. Plus, I don't always want to wear dark colors! I have alot of different colors and I like to mix it up. I have heard of sprinkling a little bit of baby powder on the area...anyone heard of this?
 
Not specifically, but if it helps, then do it. I guess it makes sense, b/c powder absorbs moisture. Just make sure you don't use to much as it might cake up and that would be even more weird than being a little sweaty.
 
Maybe I'm the odd man out, but if I see an attractive lady at the gym, I expect to see her sweat...and I think it's kind of hot.

I mean c'mon...you're working hard...I'd much rather see sweat marks than cakey powder (uh...yuck).

But hey...that's just me...:D
 
If you're willing to try the baby powder, you should really give the anti-perspirant a shot too. It'll spray on easily and if you get 'clear', it won't show on your clothes. I've tried powder before and sometimes I can see it if I'm wearing black.

The anti-p works great on your feet too.
 
I'm with Dr. Suess aka caveman Seeing a woman that is working out hard and getting in shape I want her to be sweaty showing me she is giving it her all, I see no problem with this. Just wear darker clothes if it bothers you. but you keep going girl!
 
Well, I went to JcPennys last night. They were having a fairly good sale so I bought 5 new gym outfits. I made sure not to get them in cotton and I must say... no swamp ass hahaha... or at least it did not show through the material. Got some nice nike caprees and I a pair of mesh type adidas shorts... along with a couple long pants from SBJ. They all are made of some kind of material that doesn't show the moisture. My back still gets sweaty... but I don't care as long as my pants aren't soaking wet. (o:
