ABSTRACT:
A garment pad for absorbing and shielding a garment from perspiration, the garment including a sleeve opening and a sleeve having a sleeve connection end and a sleeve connection seam at which the sleeve connection end is connected to the remainder of the garment around the sleeve opening, includes a pad body of absorbent material; and pad body attachment mechanism for securing the pad body across the lower portion of the sleeve connection seam adjacent to a garment wearer armpit. The pad body attachment mechanism preferably attaches the pad body to the garment removably. The pad body preferably includes a first pad face for directing toward the armpit of a garment wearer and a second pad face, and the attachment mechanism preferably includes an adhesive covering at least a part of the second pad face. The garment pad preferably additionally includes an adhesive backing sheet extending over and against the adhesive for shielding the adhesive until the pad is to be used, and for pealing away from the adhesive to expose the adhesive for making binding contact with the garment. The second pad face preferably includes two opposing end regions, where the adhesive covers only the two opposing end regions, and where two separate adhesive backing sheets respectively cover the end regions. The pad body is preferably ellipse-shaped to be rotatable to fit sleeves of various sizes.
