Don't Sweat It

Personally I don't see how this device could help a person stay cool but I will maintain an open mind just because I'm that kind of gal. This mini-fan is designed to clip on to your sleeve (or other areas as desired) and supposedly it is going to both keep you cool and eliminate underarm odor. The first problem I have is the odor from underarms is caused by bacteria from sweat fermenting so if anything it seems like it would only succeed in blowing the smell around and not preventing it. The second difficulty is how would it offer any cooling effect at all since it will be gathering air already heated by the proximity to your body. They claim the fan can run for 5-9 hours on two AAA batteries or you can charge it with a USB connection and they sell for $35 a pair. I will take a pass on this one.
Mini armpit fans (pictured) are on sale in Japan and promise to ¿eliminate armpit sweat¿, which will be good news for commuters bundled into crowded train carriages and anyone who works outside
The little fans are intended to sit inside a garment, but the clips that attach the device are visible, making them not completely discrete (shown in the main image above)
