That **** burns! I seem to have started sweating profusely when I work out. And I'm usually moving around too much to always grab my towel.

Has anyone discovered a solution (besides aforementioned sweat towel) to keep the sweat out of your eyes without looking like this?

    I do water aerobics so don't have that problem. How about an all-cotton doo-rag? Or tennis player's sweat band?

    My biggest issue is when I am running so I wear a hat or a visor.

    Also, those funky wrist bands that I thought were just a fashion accessory - turns out they are actually useful. I wear one on my arm when running and use it to wipe by eyes and face. They work.

    I sweat buckets and wear a headband. I actually will sweat through two regular Buffs on a couple hours hike in the summer. My headbands after the gym are soaked, but it helps a lot!!

    Ohh! Good idea! And I won't look like I'm trying to be in an 80s workout video.

    I wear a half-buff when I run. And a bandana when I play flag football and softball. They do the job for me.

    Hell yes it does.

    I wear a bandana if it's going to be really hot outside.

    Work out more?

    My sweat doesn't sting any more.

    Not sure why, but it stopped about the time it got really hot this summer (and I sweat buckets).

    It's awesome - it still runs through my eyes, but it's no bother.

    Buddy Bands TM.

    Just kidding, I loved Saved by the Bell (except the new class and when they were in Ohio or wherever with Miss Bliss, when they were babies).

    I just put my towel within reach. A LOT of people wear headbands, sweatbands, doo rags, bandanas or hats. I've even seen a guy with a towel laying on top of his head. Don't know if that would work though, as I imagine any head movement would knock it onto the flooor.

    Yes it does!!! I have since embraced the 80's look when I am working out at home. And I'm public, i just leave the headband off. Lol. The wristbands aren't too bad and still work at wiping the sweat off. And of course, i ain't afraid of just using the ends of my shirt. I am one really sweaty person when working out. Seriously looks like I came up from a pool when i do an intensive workout. Embrace the bands!

    even a baseball cap does the trick , to a certain extent. I wear a wrist band sometimes , then you can do the occasional mop. Interestingly , when i had a beard, the sweat ran in all the right directions automatically, hope that ain't an option for you.... :bigsmile:

    I do this as well. Or wear a headband.

    You don't want to look like that??

    Anyway, I read some good amazon reviews on some kind of headband with gutters in it, so it redirects the sweat behind your ears, rather than in your face.

    I play Hurling, its an irish sport and involves wearing a helmet

    So you tend to sweat a lot, and I find that rubbing some vaseline across your eyebrows deflects the water do the side of your face
