Have you ever planned to conquer the world but had to pause because sweat had other plans for you? We’ve all been there, especially with this heat wave. There are things you can do when you’re dry that feel impossible when sweat is running down your back like it has rent to pay. Let’s get into it.
When You’re Dry: You’re the Main Character
1. Hug People Freely – No fear of pit stains or that awkward “Should I?” hesitation before going in for a hug. Freshness makes you fearless.
2. Pose for Pictures Like an Instagram Baddie – Raise your arms, stretch out, be dramatic. No sweat patches ruining your aesthetic.
3. Wear Any Colour You Want – Grey, navy blue, silk? No worries. Your outfit stays looking crisp all day.
4. Sit in an AC Room Without Feeling Sticky – The joy of AC when you’re dry? Bliss. No embarrassing “Ew, who’s that damp person?” moments.
5. Enter Public Transport Without Worry – Whether it’s a bus, keke, or train, you can sit comfortably without the fear of sweat mixing with someone else’s.
6. Stay Confident in Any Situation – First date? Interview? Random video call? You’re ready, because sweat isn’t turning your shirt into a wet wipe.
When You’re Sweaty: The Struggle is Real
1. Awkward Side Hugs – You suddenly appreciate the art of the one-shoulder hug. No one needs to feel your personal sauna.
2. Wave Goodbye to Tight Clothes – That bodycon dress? Those fitted shirts? They’ve all betrayed you. Only baggy tees and loose fabrics can save you now.
3. Avoid Raising Your Arms – Holding a bus railing? Stretching? Dancing? Forget about it unless you’re trying to make a bold, wet-stained statement.
4. Your Phone Screen is Fighting for Its Life – Trying to scroll but your fingers are slippery? Your phone is tired of you.
5. Becoming the “Smell” in Public Transport – You thought you could manage, but now you’re hyper-aware of every side-eye and open window around you.
6. Constantly Wiping Your Face Like a Nollywood Actor – You might as well carry a towel because tissue paper has already given up.
