We're obviously big fans of a good sweat sesh while working out at the gym. But some of us are just prone to sweating more (and doesn’t it suck to show up to work or a date completely drenched?). Now that it’s summer, it’s even more of a struggle to walk into the office without looking like you just ran a 10-K. We feel you. That's why we've compiled this list of things that all ladies who perspire profusely can relate to. #SweatyGirlsUnite!
1. You Have to Stand Perfectly Still So Your Shirt Won't Touch Your Skin
Otherwise you'd be left with major sweat stains, which are (A) super embarrassing and (B) actually really hard to get out in the laundry.

2. You Grab Extra Napkins at the Coffee Shop to Wipe Your Shiny Face

4. You Always Wonder Why You Even Bother Putting on Makeup
No matter how much that primer cost, it won't keep your foundation on after 10 minutes in high humidity. The "au naturel" look is your summertime signature.

5. You Get Stressed Out By Handshakes
You've devoted way too much brain power trying to convince yourself that, no, he couldn't feel how sweaty your palm was (even though he probably could).
