Favorite things are not only guilty pleasures, but often they're solutions to problems that we didn't realize were affecting us. For instance, clear deodorant may have slowed the issue of white stains on black shirts, but deodorant stains are not extinct by any means. Enter Tuckinz. When wearing a tank top, the re-usable, washable flaps tuck into your shirt under your arms and protect your clothing from glide-on, roll-on, whatever. Now, put on your deodorant and let it dry while you do your hair, makeup, etc. Once dry, remove the Tuckinz and your shirt is free and clear from white stains. A real summer solution!
