Sweating like a good thing this week? These lads have you covered

When it comes to our current weather, many of us don't want to say anything negative in case we scare it away, but there are definite downsides to the increased temperatures we've been experiencing this week.

From round-the-clock upkeep on hairy shins to our barnet's reaction to the humidity, this heatwave isn't all it's cracked up to be, but it looks like the good folk behind Thanko – a Japanese gadget manufacturer – are only dying to lend a helping hand.

According to the Irish Examiner, our friends in Japan have come up with a way to combat sweaty armpits, and all you need is a small, clip-on fan and a desire to looks like a right eejit in public.

Armpit Coolers, which provide wearers with three levels of breezy intensity, can be attached to your clothes with a small clip and are powered by two AAA batteries.

If you fancy ditching your deodorant and cotton tops during this weather, then you can splash out on an Armpit Cooler for – wait for it – €27.

We don't know about you, but something tells us it might not be a go'er in Ireland…
