This might seem a little weird but, I was wondering how people combat pit stains. I'm talking about the regular kind, and also the ones caused by deodorants (they leave a weird smelly residue on the shirts). Basically, my frugal side is pissed off for buying graphic tees at $20 a pop and then ruining them due to the fucking deodorant. Suggestions?
Switch deod and make sure your shirts are all cotton. I had this one really pretty red shirt that i loved, but everytime i put it on the armpits would turn black. I never understood it, since i wasn't sweating. Then one day i switched from gel to stick and it never happened again. It was weird. Wash your shirts in oxyclean.... it helps to fade the stains.
If you're sweating too much, buy this, and use it right before bed for a couple weeks (while still using deodorant during the day)
Awesome, great suggestions everyone. I'm gonna throw the deodorant out the window and I'm gonna go to wallyword in a bit. The thing is, I don't sweat a lot, so I tend to refrain to wear my shirts 2-3 times before washing them. I do this because I hate the faded look that clothes get when they are washed a lot, and because there really isn't a reason to wash them if they aren't dirty (and even when they sit in my hamper, they still smell clean). Any suggestions for deodorants before I go (thanks UNAB0MB3R)? I'll probably have to start a trial and error deodorant study..

Man fuck this shit, happens to all my shirts. I think it's both me sweating, and the deodorant. But I dunno if buying better deodorant would help, I mean I bought mine for $7.50 at some all-natural grocery store; still got the stains. Fuck it, if someone finds a solution...tell me. Especially sucks with my white tees.
I use Almay. It's like hypoallergenic & fragrance free stuff, gel kind. Like $4 or so. I've used it forever (mainly cause of the fragrance free/hypoallergenic things as im uber sensitive to that sort of stuff) and never get pit stains. If you're a stinky fucker though they do have scented ones and such. Also, after you get done showering or whatever and put on the deodorant and such try waiting 5 mins or so to let it dry up some before putting on your shirt. A lot of people get pit stains from that. The bottle thing the deodorant is in does seem more geared towards women based off the design and stuff on it but unless you and your buds gets together and compare to see who has the manliest deodorant that shouldn't be a problem.
I use Gillette shirt friendly solid. I've ruined so many other shirts because I used to use gel deodorant and wouldn't let it dry completely and fuck up my shirts. Not a problem with this brand though.
this, but i find that i only really sweat a lot if im anxious or really nervous, but if its hot or whatever then my pits dont really sweat

Certain dry works, but I still had some problems occasionally but you can ask your doctor for some stuff.. I dont remember the name of it but it works awesome and I rarely have to put it on now (like maybe once a month, instead of every other night like certain dry)
