If you have washed them many times and dried them the stains may be set and not come out. You can use bleach on white. I mix bleach with Mean Green to get stubborn stains out offwhite.It gets baby formula out also.You can hang them in the bright sun for the day and the sun bleaches it.You might try regular peroxide on it also. It really gets tough stuff out.You propbaly need to rinse the underarms out as soon as you finish exercising so they will not set into the material.Most stains come out while they are still wet if you will remember to do it.You may need to change deoderants also. It may be reacting to your body and causing the stains! Best wishes!

Do not use bleach it just seems to turn them yellow. Try oxiclean it will probably get the stains out but it depends you might want to soak them in oxiclean and they do have a oxiclean spray now too so try that. Good Luck this is the best solution I can think of....

If the shirts have gone through the dryer you may have set the stains and they may be impossible to remove. And the stains are probably a combination of perspiration and anti-perspirant. Try sponging them with white vinegar and water and then washing. Or try dabbing the stains with a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution, then putting the shirts through the washer.
These sites offer additional suggestions.

This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!
