- the upper layer has a first perimeter and permits moisture to pass downwardly through the layer and air to pass both upwardly and downwardly through the layer.
- An absorbent center layer is provided.
- the center layer has a second perimeter slightly smaller than the first perimeter and absorbs any moisture passing through the upper layer.
- An absorbent powder is provided. The powder is infused into the absorbent layer.
- a non- permeable lower layer is provided.
- the lower layer has a third perimeter equal to the first perimeter and prevents moisture from leaving the perspiration-absorbing item. Means are provided for joining the upper layer to the lower layer along the first and third perimeters.
- the absorbent powder is baking soda.
- the means for joining the upper layer to the lower layer along the first and third perimeters is either of thermoelectric welding, cold compression forming or crimping.
- the item is sized and shaped to fit on an upper surface of an insole of a shoe.
- means are provided for removably attaching the item to the insole of the shoe.
- the means for removably attaching the item to the insole of the shoe is an adhesive strip affixed to an underside of the lower layer.
- the item is sized and shaped to serve as a headband.
- the item is sized and shaped to serve as a neckband.
