Did we ever find a place to buy those Japanese towel rag things?[/quote]
YEAH. I thought I layed that out for you. I’m out an about the DC metro area and I pick mine up at Whole Foods stores. I’ve seen them in Drugs Stores as well. They are about 30 times better than a brush on a stick. Basically its the same material as a those scrunchy loofa type things the women use.
Except its a wash cloth that is about 15inch long out the pack and when wet it stretches to 2 feet or more it holds the soap like nothing else get the back like never before. I also know you hate retail so I’m still checking for the discounts for ya.[/quote]
I appreciate that, I don’t have any Whole Foods around me so I’ll have to hunt for it at Publix and Walgreens.

…and it will last as long as any of those other shirts. Surprisingly, it isn’t a cheaply made Walmart rip off double priced.[/quote]
Yes. It feels more durable compared to UA, Starter, Nike, etc…
My white gym shirts have yellow/dark yellow spots in the pit area. I usually shower immediately before the gym so I don’t know what gives. I think it might be my deodorant. Any ideas?

Antiperspirant/deodorant causes the stains. If it was because of sweat, the stains would be all over.

It’s the Urea in your sweat same stuff that makes your piss yellow. If you have washed them and it hasn’t come out throw them away, you’ll never get them out.
And, to keep those stains from appearing turn your water heater to 130 degrees.

BACK THE FUCK OFF MOTHERFUCKER!
Just let it go man.[/quote]
It’s the magic motherfucking pill! 130 degree water cures cancer, BITCH! No the only reason I say this is because U.S. Regulations requires water heater manufactures to set it to 118, where before they were all set to 130 degrees. And the fact that there is a difference.

Good point, why then are the stains yellow if I use white deoderant? Is there maybe some oxidation that happens with the deoderant to make it change to yellow?
Also, FYI, to anyone who isn’t aware, USE CERT-N-DRI! shit works like majic, when I workout I now get the opposite of pit-stains, it’s dry in my pits and wet everywhere else on my shirt

This is false. The yellow stain is caused by a chemical reaction between sweat and antiperspirant. Heated water won’t keep that from happening. Not wearing white shirts will.

Hmm, interesting. Then why do I see these nasty dudes with yellow rings around their necks as well? Just made sense the Urea was the cause.
I think it has to do with the aluminum in the deodorant mixing with the sweat but I am not certain.
A little trick I heard was to mix vinegar and water (possibly soap too) and spray/apply to these areas to remove the color. Unfortunately, my shirts were too far gone and I haven’t been able to effectively try this method

Is this a constant? Are there deodorants/anti-perspirant sticks that wont cause this to happen?
I reaaaalllly like wearing white v-necks to the gym

They might have used antiperspirant on their necks. I’ve seen people put that shit in all sorts of places like the neck, back, and legs.
The vinegar will work if you haven’t washed and dried the shirts since they became yellow. If it’s a problem just add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of vinegar to your washing machine along with the detergent. They shouldn’t smell of vinegar after drying.
Once you dry most stains in your dryer, they’re pretty much set but if you catch them before that you should be able to fade them. Bleach can actually make it worse. I don’t know why but that’s been my experience.
