FAQs

Each shirt contains hidden sweat-proof pads sewn inside both underarms. The pads use a 3-layer system: a moisture-wicking inner layer that pulls sweat away from skin, an absorbent middle layer that captures moisture, and an outer waterproof layer that stops anything from reaching the exterior of the shirt. Sweat goes in. Nothing shows on the outside.

No. The sweat proof underarm pads are sewn on the inside of the shirt rather than flat against the fabric. This means there are no visible seam lines on the exterior. From the outside, Social Citizen shirts look identical to regular t-shirts, polos, or dress shirts. No one will know unless you tell them.

Other sweat proof shirts brands sew their pads flat against the shirt fabric. That creates visible seam lines on the exterior that reveal the shirt's purpose. Social Citizen's pads are hidden and leave no visible marks on the outside. That's the core difference: Social Citizen shirts can be worn as standalone fashion pieces. You don't have to layer something over them to hide what they are.

Every Social Citizen shirt is guaranteed to stop 100% of underarm sweat stains from showing in social settings. That guarantee is backed by tens of thousands of customers across 33+ countries. The product has been recognized by the International Hyperhidrosis Society and tested by customers who have tried clinical antiperspirants, prescription medications, and competing sweat-proof shirts without finding a solution that worked.

They work as both. Social Citizen shirts are designed primarily as standalone shirts that look and feel like regular clothing, and they also work as undershirts under dress shirts, blazers, or sweaters. The crewneck and V-neck t-shirts are 1.5 inches longer than standard t-shirts, which makes them practical for tucking in or using as a base layer. If you plan to wear yours mainly as an undershirt, sizing down gives a closer fit.

Most people notice it briefly when they first put the shirt on. That feeling typically fades within a few minutes. Over time, wearing the shirts feels completely natural. The pads are thin and designed to sit as unobtrusively as possible.

The sweat-proof pad itself never stops working. The shirt may be retired after roughly two years of regular use due to general fabric wear, as with any quality garment, but the pad technology remains fully functional for the life of the shirt.

No. The sweat proof underarm pads are permanently integrated into each shirt. Because the pad never stops working, replacement isn't necessary.

All t-shirts (crewneck and V-neck) are available in XS through 2XL for both men and women. Detailed size charts based on chest measurements are available on each product page.

All Social Citizen t-shirts include 1.5 inches of extra length compared to standard t-shirts, which partially addresses this for taller customers.

The crewneck and V-neck t-shirts are made from 95% combed cotton and 5% spandex. The polo shirts are 100% piqué cotton. The dress shirts are 100% cotton.

Social Citizen shirts are priced comparably to competing sweat-proof brands: Thompson Tee starts at $36.99, Ejis at $38.99 and up. A Social Citizen crewneck or V-neck is $36.00. Beyond the direct comparison, sweat-proof shirts can save money over time. Repeated underarm sweat and deodorant buildup permanently stains regular shirts, often within months. Social Citizen shirts protect the fabric from that damage, extending the life of both the shirt and any outer garments worn over it.
