Headband sugestion

This user has no status.
Hello! It may sound funny, but I tend to sweat a lot, and I also wear glasses. Because of this, I need a headband.
I tried several options from Aliexpress, several more expensive options (Butterfly, Donic), but..I was not satisfied with any of them. For a 2-hour workout, you need at least 2-3..playing table tennis.
I'm curious: do many of you face a similar problem? How did you adapt to it?

I bought an Adidas headband a few years ago and only wore it twice I think. It makes me sweat more. I just wipe my sweat off with the wrist band on my free arm. If that's not enough use a towel? No one in practice would mind you using it outside of towel breaks.

I always bring lots of headbands because I also sweat a lot and wear glasses. I measure the intensity of my 2h workout by the amount of headbands I use. A good nights workout will be 5 . I just buy some of the cheap toweling headbands at Ali. They soak the sweat up nicely, cost very little and seem to last surprisingly long time

I don't use them either but people that I see using them usually have more than one and a towel too.
I'd say just changing the headband when needed might be the best option, and towel as often as you can.

Same problem for me, yes I have 10 headbands in my bag and I can change up to 4 in a 2 hr session. I found tennis headband to work better. If you have Decalthon shops locally, they do have a few colours to choose from. And yes, I've tried Donic, Xiom, Stiga, Li Ning Table Tennis headbands. Li Ning is the absolute worst of the lot. Stiga n Donic works ok.

If you are training vs a chopper and loop yourself in the head, a headband is also excellent for stopping the bleeding. I used to carry one for that purpose. Now I live in a state with zero choppers so my forehead is safe.

For sweat a towel works better. And I also wear glasses, so bring one or two cloths for cleaning the lenses when drops of sweat fall on them.

I somewhat recently started wearing heabands because I sweat a ton. Buckets worth of sweat on a regular training session. I have about 6ish headbands (can't remember the exact number on top of my head haha). One thing I learned though is that not all sweatbands are made the same. So far Nike and butterfly (the one Timo Boll wears) are the best. I bought some cheap ones from Amazon and for those sweat just goes through those like nothing and I have to replace them in 15 minutes of wearing them :) Invest in good headbands if you can! :)

Yes..I tried buying cheap options on Aliexpress..they look good, the price is not bad, but they "get wet" in the first 15 minutes
