We’ve heard about women tattooing their nipples, giving their vaginas facials and buying intimate cleansers, but just when you thought beauty products had reached their limits, out comes breast deodorant.

Not one, but three companies are promising their products will eliminate ‘swoobs’ AKA sweaty boobs. “Women can now rest easy,” promises Fresh Body as it advertises its Fresh Breasts deodorant. “We're replacing ‘swoobs’ - dreaded boob sweat - with smiles!”

Erm … what?

I had no idea boob sweat was even a real thing, let alone something we should all “dread” and spend up to $20 (£12) to eliminate. Already women spend around £18,000 on facial beauty products in their lifetime, without taking into account body hair removal, moisturisers and normal deodorant. Do we really need to add an extra £12 a month to that, for something most of us don’t even notice?

Klima Health Solutions' Bust Dust states on its website that 30 per cent of people worldwide suffer from chest and breast sweating, known as Hyperhidrosis. But ‘Bust Dust’ isn’t meant to be just medical. It is a floral citrus-scented powder, applied with a puff, which is clearly marketed at all women. (It has pink packaging.)

However, sweat-absorbing powders are not necessary for the typical woman. I understand and accept that some people, of either gender, if they have Hyperhidrosis, will need this.

But in the main, this is just another attempt by beauty companies to try and get women to spend more money beautifying themselves into living Barbie dolls. Well, listen up Bust Dust, Fresh Breasts and Boobalicious Breast Deodorant: women aren’t as stupid as you seem to think.

We aren’t going to fall for another advertising ploy to try to get us to conform to an alien idea of female perfection. Sweat is natural - whether it’s on your armpits, back or nestling in between your cleavage. It regulates your body temperature and cools you down. After a gym workout, it shows you how much you have exercised. Sweat isn’t bad; it’s a sign of hard work, stress, the menopause and if you're doing it really right, pleasure.

Many people do use deodorants for their underarms, but they have the most sweat glands in the body and underarm sweat can make clothes smell or stain. Breasts are not in the same sweating league, and generally only produce sweat in intense heat or post-exercise.

...

The only consolation in this swoobs swamp is that it isn’t as sexist as you may think. Because Fresh Body doesn’t just product Fresh Breasts… it makes Fresh Balls too. For the sweaty-testicled man, the lotion will dry into an invisible sweat-absorbing powder, and ta-da, dry testicles.

I can only hope men and women alike will be avoiding these painfully patronising, and highly unnecessary, deodorants. We don't need to medicalise another perfectly natural bodily process.

What?
 
I don't think my wife has ever suffered from this and for me...I've never had a serious problem with sweaty balls either. Sure, they glisten when I exercise but it never reaches the point of feeling like I just lifted them out of a deep fryer.
 
Didn't even realize it was a thing that worried people.

It's pretty crazy how the cosmetics industry preys on certain fears and insecurities. They've done it for decades to women, and have now started on men as well.
 
boob sweat? first time I hear about it being an issue.

Recently though, I had an unfortunate experience with nipple hair. Apparently it is an issue for some ladies after doing some 'research'. Don't image search it...

can't you just use regular deodorant?

No... you should only use deodorant on your armpits... Also, females should not use male deodorant.
 
Will it work on man-boobs?

Do women with big tits really get nasty gunk underneath their boobs? I assume when you're working out and it's really hot out, it can get pretty foul down there.

This doesn't have anything to do with men, though.

But that comment was from a man, giving a man's perspective. Commentary and opinion is not gender segregated. Women can do whatever they want, deodorise their boobs or not, ronito wwasn't saying anything other than 'This is what men think of the idea'. Not, 'you shouldn't do this because men say so'. Not 'This is being done for men who don't want it anyway'. Just 'men don't care'.
 
I do think that "Why would girls get boob deoderant? Guys won't care." Is kind of a male-centric view of the issue, though. I mean, maybe a girl would actually want this, independent of the fact that guys like boobs. Maybe having breasts that men desire isn't really the goal of this product and it's more about having breasts that the woman who owns them would desire. I dunno. I'm just a dude. Maybe it is completely superfluous, but I think that criticism isn't really the right one. All I know is this thread will probably get locked after someone posts one too many pictures of sweaty boobs.
 
I've always found it weird, the imaginary line we draw between hygiene/cosmetic stuff that we really need and stuff that we chalk up to advertisers preying on our insecurities. Boob deodorant? Exploitation! Normal deodorant? Shaved legs? Well, that's okay, we need those. Never mind the fact that the latter two only entered the mainstream public consciousness through the same exploitative means that "swoob" deodorant is currently trying to take advantage of. Convince people they have a problem and should be ashamed of it, and that their product is the best and only cure.

I'd think most man-boobs would be working on shampoo before they got to deodorant.

Oh, it absolutely is a male-centric view. If a woman feels more comfortable using boob deodorant, she should absolutely go for it. More power to her.
 
Why is everyone acting like boob sweat is some kind of glistening cleavage?

It's a slippery film that gets in "folds" and "contact areas" of breasts. It can create a pit stain type situation in formalwear.

Some guys love it. There is a porn series entitled Titty Sweat, after all.

The need for swoob deodorant hasn't been ingrained in society yet, so people are more likely to see it as unnecessary. You can say you don't use deodorant on your asscrack and not be shamed for it — even though the gluteal cleft can get as sweaty as an armpit — because no one else does it. It doesn't even have to do with hygiene, just what's already generally accepted. hygiene standards aren't universal and they change over time, like any other mores. It's not that weird.
