A moisture absorbing pad adapted for insertion into creases of the body prone to perspiration is made of a generally planar sheet of moisture absorbing material. The planar sheet is formed into two parts, a first part rolled into a cylinder having two ends which are substantially flattened, and a second part folded back on itself to form a tab, which is substantially teardrop shaped in profile. The material may have anti-microbial or emollient properties. To use the pad, a body crease is opened and the pad inserted near the center of the crease. The crease may then be reformed around the pad. When inundated with moisture, the pad may be extracted by using the tab and flattened ends as handles.
