The shield has an absorbent layer of material, the absorbent layer of material being of a predetermined length and a predetermined width and being foldable substantially midway along the length thereof. The absorbent layer of material having oppositely opposed indentations at peripheral edges of the width at substantially where the shield is folded, and the indentations preferably being void of any sharp edges. A plurality of spreadable incisions are located in the absorbent layer of material, with each of the incisions extending radially inward from the peripheral edge of the shield and spaced apart from one another along the peripheral edge, and the indentations being void of any of the incisions. An adhesive is affixed to an undersurface of the absorbent layer of material for removably adhering the absorbent layer of material to the underarm portion of the garment and acting as a barrier to substantially prevent moisture from passing therethrough and onto the garment.
