Hyperhidrosis Footwear and Women’s Tops That Don’t Show Sweat!
By · on May 17, 2010Ohhh, I went shopping today. This was not such an uncommon occurrence Back In The Day, as my sister and I call it. But, since money has been a bit tight, I have limited my shopping trips to quick runs to Old Navy for the kids and such. However, a friend recently told me that she saw several tops made of nylon mesh in our favorite department store near my house. I’ve had a few friends on the lookout for nylon mesh ever since I realized that my favorite top from last summer is made of it. This particular top has never shown any sweat marks, is cool and comfortable, repels water, and is gorgeous. I talk about it on my page for Women’s Clothing options.
So I felt that it was my duty to do Research for This Blog and follow up on those leads. Indeed, my friend was correct! There were at least 10 tops there made of nylon mesh by the brand Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati. They were colorful and beautifully cut. I bought one that is cream with a black floral design (ok, the least colorful but I loved the drape-y neckline) for $68. Not cheap, but not exorbitantly expensive, either. I have contacted Sweet Pea to find out if there is a website I can link you to if you wanted to shop for them online. The patterned tops passed the water bottle test, but do be careful of solid colors 
One more major find was the Reevana flip flop by Adidas. This flip flop has the absorbent fitFOAM that I live in during the summer, but the thong has a really CUTE ribbon that loops onto the thong. Sorry, hard to describe, but look at my Footwear page, it’s on the Amazon Carousel. I believe I actually squealed when I saw it.
Shopping for you people was such a chore. You’re welcome.

Hey Charmaine. Just wondering if this is an international study. I’d love to participate. This is a great site by the way! I do look forward to the day they find a cure!
Deborah, Thank you visiting and for the compliment! This question has been asked on other sites that Betsy has asked to post her study info, and I recall that her answer was that US Customs will not allow the DNA samples to be shipped from outside the USA, as the samples are considered to be “biological”. The only way it would be possible to participate in the study outside the US is if someone could carry the sample back to the US by airplane. They can mail the test kit anywhere in the world, but the completed kit must be carried back by someone traveling to the US. I know there are several people in the UK who are planning to do it this way in the coming summer months. Hope this helped and stop by again! Charmaine

Hi Amy,
It’s great that you want to participate. I have gotten this question a few times, and the short answer is, no, it is confined to the US. However, if you know anyone who is flying to the United States, you could participate. The researchers could send a study packet anywhere in the world, but US Customs will not allow the completed samples to be mailed into the US– they consider it “biological”. However, an individual can carry it on a plane and pop it into the mail when on American soil– there would be no problems getting through customs, although it would have to be in checked baggage because of the liquid limitations for carryons. So, a bit complicated, but possible! Thank you for your interest and thank you for the compliment. The best compliment you could give me would be to keep coming back!

I certainly appreciated every single bit of it and I have you bookmarked to think about new things you submit.
