So what you're saying is: 'This is a maxi pad for my armpits!'
[WTF jingle plays]
Welcome to the great outdoors in Seoul. It is a beautiful sunny day outside today
[European music plays] and you know what? I'm a very sweaty European man,
and whenever I go outside on days like this, I tend to get all drippy and wet all over my body.
[European music stops] I'm not saying anything.
I'm very fortunate because, you know you could use antipersperant
but then, that clogs your pores and all. Do I have something sticking on my shirt?
It's a bug.
It's a beetle.
Oh, I was just about to smush my armpit, and there's a beetle on my armpit
- Come on, little guy. 'Are you my mom?' - 'You're my new mom.'
This is Sebastian, he'll stay with us for the next little while.
So, instead of putting antipersperant that clogs your armpits, I have a maxi pad here
that you put on your armpits and it's supposed to prevent you from sweating.
It's got the 'A' and 'B' side. Oh yeah, look at that.
It's called an underarm pad. Sebastian is judgemental. He says it's not going to work.
You know what, Sebastian? You're not mic'd up, so nobody can hear you talking.
Oh! Sebastian flew away in anger. He's gonna report you.
I'm gonna put one on my left armpit. I'm gonna leave the other one as a control.
And I'm gonna just start running around, and I'm probably gonna start sweating
in like, probably six seconds. What? Chil-moon. (Question.)
OK, if we can't get past your armpit hair, what should we do?
We brought our food scissors- I mean.
[record scratches, Martina laughs] Our work scissors,
and we're gonna cut off some of my armpit hair, if need be. It comes with two.
OK, so...oh it's got like an air vent. Oh, that's the bend,
so that it doesn't...that makes sense. Yeah, yeah.
So, are you going to take off your shirt in public or what?
[sliding whistle] Can't you just like, put it on this way? Go for it.
Oh, no!
Hey, baby! You ready for party?
OK. Put it on big man!
How did I get stuck with this job? Soo Zee! Soo Zee's in the studio right now.
Soo Zee's in the studio going 'Mm-mm.'
[suspenseful flute plays]
Did someone call me? ...Wait...
Put it on. Which way goes which? Ok, this is the sticky way.
Stick that on.
Oh my God, it's going to rip a hole in your armpit hair, Simon. This is really foolish of you.
No, no, no! This is definitely a very gentle- Uh-oh.
It sticks on fine. Oh my God, Simon!
This sticks on totally fine. Oh my God, this is such a terrible idea.
OK. You ready?
OK, close it up. OK.
Wow, that's not invasive whatsoever.
[Martina laughs]
OK. Put your shirt down.
Oh my God, it really looks like you're wearing a diaper on your armpit.
OK, so you see this one? There is nothing here.
And I'm gonna run until I start sweating.
Are you sweaty yet? No.
All the way in the yonder distance is Simon looking exhausted.
I'm glad that I didn't have to do this, 'cause that's the worst.
[panting] I'm ready.
The experiment has proven, that I'm out of shape, and I need to run more.
But the second hypothesis, is this makes me feel less sweaty.
Here's this armpit right here. It's pretty moist.
Feel. Wait, wait. Ew!
Touch it, see? NO!
Get the moistness. There you go.
So that's arm...
Oh, God.
That was a bad idea.
And now, to see how this works.
Pull it off.
My armpit is drier than the other one. Really?
This has worked a bit.
We have proven that this thing...hold on.
[twanging sounds] Here you go...
That was just on your armpit! I'm trying to see how much it can absorb!
Ew! OK.
Anyhow, if you wanna give these armpit maxi pads a test, make sure you get them on Gmarket.
'Cause that's where we get all of our fun stuff. So, we've proven this thing does absorb your sweat.
This arm that didn't have one, it really went sweaty.
But is it comfortable to wear? I didn't notice it.
Probably because I felt the pain burning in my lungs
from all my running. I'm not sure how it'll work
throughout a regular day.
Next time, I should try putting it on my head. Like this.
That'll definitely work. Totally inconspicuous.
