There are two kinds of underarm shields. Dress shields and garment shields.

Garment shields (which are worn over the bra and have attached sewn-in underarm shields) offer more stability and confidence because they are garments which fasten around the torso (not just under the arm and armpits like dress shields) and cannot move out of place like dress shields.

Some of our garment shield styles are available in a regular sleeve length as well as a short sleeve length. The regular sleeve length extends 3 ¼” under the arm while the short sleeve length extends 2 ½” under the arms.

Both dress and garment shields are reusable and washable (unless the dress shield is the disposable type). Most dress and garment shields are available with either a vinyl barrier or a Fabrapel®/Dry Shield® barrier.

A vinyl barrier shield guarantees that fluid will never pass thru it. This is excellent for excessive sweaters. The Fabrapel®/Dry Shield® shields are constructed with our patented hypoallergenic treatment which eliminates the vinyl barrier and replaces it with a noiseless, non-heat generating waterproof cotton fabric. We recommend these if your sweating is moderate.

Kleinert’s® makes a variety of garment shields to suit your convenience and styling needs. These have proven to be highly functional for many years. If you are a first time user, we recommend that you try an assortment of our garment shields to determine which style best suits your needs.
