A method for identifying physiological conditions associated with the pH or the buffer capacities of biological fluid secreted from a person, which comprises providing a secretion-monitoring article comprising a body that includes an absorbent material for absorbing a biological fluid secreted from a person and an indicator system having a hydrophobic chemical composition comprising an indicator agent and an ion-balance reagent, wherein the ion-balance reagent is a quaternary amine; wearing the article in a position to receive the biological fluid secreted from the person; visualizing the indicator system for an indication of physiological conditions associated with the pH or the buffer capacities of the biological fluid, which indication is stable for at least 48 hours.
