An underarm garment liner for preventing a wearer's perspiration from soiling a garment is disclosed. The liner includes, in its simplest embodiment and in the following order, a non-woven layer, an air laid paper layer, a hygroscopic absorption layer, a water-impervious layer, and an adhesive layer. The non-woven layer is adapted for contacting the wearer's skin and to convey perspiration away from the skin through capillary action to the absorbent air laid paper layer, which draws moisture away from the non-woven layer and conveys the moisture to the hygroscopic absorption layer. The layers are all preferably adhered together through use of hot-melt adhesive, or the like. The water-impervious layer is comprised of a vapor-pervious “breathable” thermoplastic polymer to prevent heat buildup between the liner and the wearer. Deodorizers, antibacterial agents, aloe, vitamin E, and petrolatum may all be further included in the liner 10. A layer of release paper temporarily affixed to the adhesive layer, such that the release paper may be peeled away from the adhesive layer by the wearer in order to expose the adhesive layer prior to use.
