Hey storm12! Don't know if you are still around or not, but just thought you'd be interested to know that I was trying on clothes yesterday and happened to look at the underarms of my light green shirt, and guess what? They were stained PINK! There must be something to this "pink perspiration"
that you mentioned in a previous post! (I don't know about the bra, it's black...)

Yeah, I'm still around. I haven't been online in a few days, though. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been wondering if this is a side effect of medication I'm on, or eating too much sherbert, or just some some symptom of something. I can't tell with my darker bras, but with the light/white ones, I am still finding it. Thanks for letting me know.

A thought - I wonder if it could be Splenda? I occaisonally drink Diet Rite. I didn't start drinking this product until May or June this year. This pink "problem" didn't come up until August sometime. Otherwise, I rarely drink pop/soda.

Well, I don't use artificial sweetners, or eat any pink things. I think it has something to do with the dye in the clothing even if the cloth isn't pink or red... I mean if I take a tissue and wipe my underarm (or any sweat) it's not pink - try that and see if it's pink or not.

Sounds like dye in clothing is having reaction to deoderant and/or prespiration.
Some dye will react and others will not. If prespiration is not colored, then it is dye in fabric.
