There are many reasons to love summer, like park get-togethers, days spent reading at the pool, and an excuse to buy a new swimsuit. But with rising temperatures come some not-so-pleasant days spent sweaty while commuting, running errands, and spending time outdoors too. Dreaded boob sweat and everything that comes with it (chafing, acne, and blemishes) is one of the main things we try to avoid, so we rounded up products that’ll tackle uncomfortable sweat in uncomfortable places.

Lume

A deodorant-lotion hybrid for all over…

If you only have room in your budget for one thing off this list, buy this. It’s a deodorant with a velvety texture that you can use all over your body. It’s a water-based cream, so you can apply anywhere to minimize sweat, including your bikini area. It’s made without baking soda or parabens, and has odor and sweat control for up to 72 hours. Did we mention that it smells good? Stock up for summer vacation immediately. ($20.99, Lume)

Megababe

A skin-soothing body dust…

Megababe is a body-care brand we love for their mission of tackling everyday, realistic problems. This body dust is a gentle powder you can use to tackle sweat. It’s made of chamomile and lavender, and has a shake top for mess-free application. You can buy it on its own or with the brand’s powder puff. ($19.97, Amazon)

Buy it
Bliss

Body wipes for sweaty days out and about…

If you live in a hot climate, these wipes are great for a refresh when you’re in the car, between subway rides, or about to board the bus. They’re plant-based, aluminum-free, cruelty-free, and smell amazing, thanks to hints of lemon and sage. We appreciate that you don’t need to rinse with water before or after use, making them even quicker and easier to use (and then toss). ($8, Bliss)

Buy it
Billie

A classic stick deodorant with up to 24 hours of protection…

PSA: Billie, the brand behind our favorite razor, now makes deodorant. Our Commerce Director swears by this stick, claiming that even though it’s aluminum- and baking soda-free, it’s still strong enough to keep her smelling fresh. It has a lightweight, hydrating finish and comes in four unique fragrance combinations. ($9, Billie)

Buy it
Amazon

A three-in-one mini fan…

This handheld fan can run for hours and fit in your pocket or bag. It has a flashlight, a USB output port so you can charge your phone in a bind, and isn’t annoyingly noisy. PS: The blades are soft, but if you happen to touch them while they’re on, they’ll automatically stop for safety. ($14.38+, Amazon)

Buy it
Alo Yoga bra for sweaty boobs
Alo Yoga

A basic white bra with light support…

This one’s an HQ’r favorite, thanks to its super-comfy fabric and lightweight design. It’s your basic triangle bra with a wider, more supportive band. The crisscross straps in the back are adjustable, so it’s an ideal choice for women with smaller-sized breasts. Wear it on its own during a light workout or underneath a T-shirt while running errands. ($54, Alo Yoga)

Buy it
Anese boob scrub for sweaty boobs
Revolve

A boob mask that reduces sweat acne… 

It’s infused with matcha and honey, and has collagen and green tea that works to firm and clarify. Plus, it helps protect your skin from sun damage. After a sweaty walk through the park or intense workout, this scrub will have you feeling exfoliated and clean. Bonus: It’s also vegan and cruelty-free. ($34, Revolve)

Buy it
sweaty boobs spray
Megababe

An anti-boob-sweat spray that’ll take you comfortably through the day…

Consider this baby powder, but with an upgrade. Not only does Megababe’s Bust Dust work to absorb excess moisture, but it also protects against any further buildup. It’s made with skin-soothing aloe, chamomile, and lavender for a light and natural scent. We love its aerosol packaging that sprays the dust right where you want it to go with no extra mess. ($14.99, Amazon)

Buy it
Carpe sweat cream for sweaty boobs
Amazon

Sweat-absorbing lotion you can slather all over… 

Including your armpits, legs, or anywhere else you need to combat sweat. This cream absorbs the moisture before your bra or shirt does, and it goes on clear so there’ll be no residue left behind. Plus, witch hazel, vitamin B3, and silica microspheres help to keep you smelling fresh and feeling clean. ($19.85, Amazon)

Buy it
Bra liners for boob sweat
Amazon

Liners to minimize sweat rashes…

To use, just place underneath your bra band. They come in four different sizes and will add a breathable cotton padding to keep you dry. The best part? They’ll alleviate any pain from even your most uncomfortable wire bras. ($14.99+, Amazon)

Buy it
Boob sweat blocking wipes
Amazon

Sweat-blocking wipes you can use anywhere...

Interesting fact: They work to lessen excessive sweating due to overactive glands or hormonal changes. Before you leave for the day, clean the target areas and wipe. Over time, you'll find yourself getting less sweaty when active. They’re even as effective as a clinical strength deodorant. ($19.99+/10-pack, Amazon)
