Nathan Chen

Vincent’s comment - haha

skfan - thanks for the info on the residential colleges - hopefully his dorm will be more Hogwarts-like than not

Uninterrupted snogging sessions ! I do recall ‘snog’ being used in HP but not quite that exact scenario - lol
 
It's kind of just acquired. They learn they have to shave their pits or at least trim them and use clinical deodorant. LOL

Why shave the armpits? That doesn't change how much you sweat...
Antiperspirant would be the only thing that could reduce it to some degree.

Then again, I don't get the obsession with Nathan's pit-stains at all, I think people in general should relax about such things, it's annoying enough as it is, for those affected.
 
doing catch up here

about oatmella forget Nathan's red boy's number costume
I have a nickname posted on this FF, "Chinese red apron" (红肚兜) for that Red boy's number costume only on Nathan.
I even linked a photo

Guess all those funny nicknames have gone with the VV

whether the costume from Vera is free or not. One thing i kr for sure is that our Nathan is very frugal.

just wanna remind, There are a lot of professional or non professional figure skating costume designers out there with various price tag NOT just Vera or Macy's:biggrin:

about pit stain, first, I was wondering is that pit stain (last dancer) oatmella posted for real, I thought it is photoshopped, otherwise, Nate's pit stain is really crazy!!!:eeking: I think i suggested using baby powder, but I never us use it, I just thought maybe it will work. I actually have no idea.

also I think, pit stain and pit smell are too different concepts (thus, regular deodorant may not work ), maybe even too different biological systems, maybe pre-med Nathan will figure it out himself

I actually don’t think Nathan has poor hygiene, I think it’s more likely that he has an excessive sweating condition.

That being said, Vera Wang has shown that pit stains can be avoided with well crafted costumes, despite this “condition”. Give credit where it is due lol. I’m not saying Nathan has to stick with Vera, I’m just hoping his costumes for next season are equally well crafted, even if the design has to be compromised. I actually liked the OG and Worlds costume for the LP, although I agree with the majority that the SP design was meh.
 
I'm sure he must be aware of the problem but it's like he really doesn't care. Normally it'd be the job of his girlfriend to nag him into doing something about it.

I really don't think this should be a girlfriend's job, as an OGM contender caliber athlete, his over-all packaging including details like pit stain should be his team's job
 
i clicked on your link and saw the comment about how his arm is around Karen! :laugh:
is this somehow unexpected? he seems very comfortable with Karen, so I didn't think anything of it. But maybe close observers *cough oatmella* can tell us ;)

:rofl:

this photo and other photos but especially this one, Nathan seems cozy with Karen in this tour:love:;)
 
yyyskate - 红肚兜 - hahaha

Shaving won’t result in less sweating but helps with pit stink - hair is porous and absorbs odor, and odor causing bacteria breeds in pit hair. Shaving can make one feel dryer though and gives a smoother and more effective surface for CLINICAL-STRENGTH anti-perspirant to be applied


We really don’t know if Nathan shaves his pits or not ! Maybe he’s already got that covered lol
 
:eekn: when is that Vincent "You are so sexy" comment?
I need to kr.
also babay V used to refer Nathan ""Homie".
and Now Karen is the "homegirl"
I am running in circles:hap57::hap93:

Nathan does appear to be a heavy sweater. And yes, Vera deserves credit for her costumes that not only complimented and highlighted Nathan’s physique, but also were free from the distraction of the rivers of his pit sweat

agree with this. And not all gfs nag about this stuff anyways

I think his team is aware of this, given the number of costumes with the extra layer covering the armpits (both of his costumes last season, and the Vera OG FS costume). The Vera costumes that did not have this extra outer layer resembled wetsuits, IMO also for this reason.

I have to agree with V on this :):agree2:

Also I feel enough about pit sweat has been discussed:con3: :slink:

just crazy thoughts from me. please ignore if you think it is inappropriate.

I think we should let Nathan's pit sweat flow freely, instead prevent, maybe can use some absorbent, from those life hacks YT videos, some girls actually used panty liner sticked to there to absorb pit stain and protect their clothes.
BTW, Nathan follows a couple of life hacks accounts.:biggrin:
 
okay the exact words of V is
"govincentzhou@nathanwchen You look so sexy 😂💕" with one Face With Tears of Joy emoji and one 2 Pink Hearts emoji.
 
If pantyliners work ...

And they are inexpensive too !

Nathan could give it a try:biggrin::yes: not expensive experiment anyway.

also I think a heavy sweater is a good thing. No medical background here, just pure assumption. Heavy sweat indicates great hydration. great vasculature system(and cardio). great metabolism. and it is great for the skin.
 
Just want to point out that navy shirt might be made of synthetic fabric that's very difficult for skin to breath in, thus cause larger amount of sweat. He was wearing white T for no good at worlds gala, didn't notice any issue.

ETA

My observation is that the coldness from ice and the wind generated from movements should help to cool down skaters a lot, but when the fabric is synthetic or not specialized for sports, the skin care barely breath and the cold air is blocked outside of the fabric. Some fabric looks like silk but really is much cheaper 100% synthetic that I would never wear.
 
I’ve noticed some guys who have great metabolisms sweat quite a lot when they sleep

So this heavy sweating is really a good thing!

Rather we should celebrate Nathan’s sweating💕 - of course yet another aspect in which he is genetically blessed
