I (24M) feel like I'm really bad at shaving my groin. Either it's uneven or I just go clean shave which I don't like cause of chaffing. I use a Manscaped Gen 2 Lawnmower. Are there better options or does anyone have any tips? I know it's a stupid ask but I don't think I know what I'm doing as well as I should LOL
EDIT : These are the best comments I could imagined😂
I have an embarrassing issue and need advice from others (probably other women). I always take pride in my hygiene including showering everyday, deodorant etc. However over the last 6 months or so I noticed every time I get up from a seat (bus seat especially) I leave a noticeable wet mark on the seat. Im not on my period and have clean clothes on including underwear but I still notice this and its embarrassing. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice. Appreciate you all!!
Okay everyone , seriously! What are you tricks to getting pearly white teeth??? I’m thinking of buying the crest 3D White strips because TikTok research is telling me those are the best, but before I spend almost 60 dollars on that shit what else could I try? My teeth aren’t yellow or anything but I would really love a bright white smile
Even with fresh socks every day, wearing the same pair of sneakers four days in a row starts to trap moisture and subtle odor.
Do you use shoe trees, charcoal bags, rotating pairs, or a quick spray after taking them off?
Male, usually a total shaver. However, I am trying out growing my hair out and trimming it with an electric buzzer I have.
My only issue is the balls.
I despise hairy balls, and loved a shorn scrotum. But I also dont want to shave them totally, including where it meets the pelvis, as it leads to a look I call Friar Cock, a bald spot surrounded by hair.
I'm thinking of letting the hair on the sides of the balls and the gooch and just shaving the front facing balls, like where the peen rests, and then sort of the "bottom" and upper sides. Sort of a compromise.
Has anyone done anything like this?
Just trying to see if this idea is crazy. It looks ok currently.
Hi! This may be worded strangely but I had a baby in May and ever since then, the creases before my thighs start are dark and the whole area between along with my butt.
Is there anything I can take or do to lighten these areas without causing harm, or do I just live with it? I’m a pale person, can’t tan, any hyperpigmentation is very noticeable and I haven’t ever been this dark down there before.
My routine is small, I don’t really do much. I use Dr. Bronner’s peppermint wash on my body, Dove sensitive bar soap around my intimate areas. I use a wash cloth on my body and my hands to lather below. I use Nivea Soft after showering and occasionally coconut oil after. I don’t take any vitamins currently. Unsure if it’s relevant but I shave using oil & men’s razors. I mostly wear boyshort panties. I don’t wear anything lacy. I don’t know has caused the darkening, maybe it’s just part of having a baby, still want to lighten if I can.
Side note: I only got the big thing of Dr. Bronner’s because it helped cool where I was still hurting postpartum so I’m just finishing out the bottle and getting a different wash; recommendations appreciated for this also. I don’t like anything scented too sweet if that makes sense, like anything marketed for teens. Not a fan of creamy thick soaps, I like something that lathers really well and feels fresh, I like citrusy - flowery - gourmand - woody - feminine scents.
Thanks!
I am a 56yo American man. This will be a long post of my tips and tricks in the bathroom in no particular order. I suggest scanning the list vs. reading.
I shower daily because I feel too much dead skin after 2 days and I have short hair. Your culture and preferences may be different and that is ok.
*- Buy most stuff online as it is typically a lot cheaper than CVS or Right Aid.
Have a full size tub bath mat. I have difficulty balancing and a full size mat gives me much more confidence that I won't slip.
Have a suction cup handlebar on the tub wall. While it is marketed for people with balance issues, it is surprisingly effective at quickening your scrub.
Shampoo is a cleanser and strips oils from your hair. If you have long hair, use a hairnet and/or conditioner, which helps restore oils.
Have a bathliner and shower with it inside the tub to minimize water getting out. If you desire more privacy, have a shower curtain that lays outside the tub.
I have shampoo, soap, and face cleaner. I use a bath poof for body and a rotating set of face scrub mittens to clean. It takes me 1m for hair, 2m for body, and 1m for face, with about 1m rinses in between. My shower takes under 10m. I dry out the used face mitten daily to avoid mildew.
Dry off inside the shower, not outside. If you have a rug or carpet, the moisture causes mildew. If you have wood or tile, the water can cause a slip.
If you take long showers and your bathroom fan sucks, keep the bathroom door open. The steam, over time, will destroy the drywall.
Have a shower routine so you don't have to think about it. I get wet, wash and rinse my hair, lather the poof, scrub and rinse my body, lather mitten, scrub and lather face, and rinse. Dry face, arms, front, back, left foot with towel in right hand, step out with said foot, dry right foot, step out, dry legs and anything else needing extra.
When the shower is complete, drape the liner outside the tub as it will tend to mildew quickly if left in, especially if scrunched to the side.
I have comb, qtips, sonic toothbrush, reach flosser, water pick, deodorant, beard trimmer, and body shaver trimmer for tools.
Consider a Reach flosser. I have trouble flossing with dental floss. My mouth is too small. A Reach flosser is angled 90 degrees and makes it very easy to get in between teeth. There is a sonic device called a hummingbird that is also angled 90 degrees.
Consider a water pick. Because I use a Reach flosser instead of dental floss, I only get in between teeth. I bought a water pick to get to all of the periodontal areas. It is awesome. It is messy. I suggest using it over the tub, holding onto a handle. Move your head around, not your arm, else water will dribble down it.
Hope someone might get something out of this. Cheers! 😊
My girlfriend doesn’t, her friends apparently don’t, most guys at my college using the urinals don’t, my friends at the pub don’t, my male and female flatmates don’t… bizarre
guys saying urinals? idk maybe marginally like peeing outside or something less disgusting cos touch their skin not stalls where there’s poo and blood idk. But it’s a chance to wash ur hands
Women saying at home? For me same above it’s a cubicle dirty flusher, opportunity to wash, whatever
it’s all so bleak everyone should wash their hands. It’s the easiest way to stop transmission of disease. We should want to take opportunities to wash our hands to stop spreading disease. When I’m old or get cancer or whatever I will hope people wash but I will know they don’t. You realise how many people die from flu? People don’t care
Best drugstore dry shampoo? Used to love Batiste but it's kind of meh now... very powdery and hair feels oily/heavy. Any suggestions?
I love doing my own laundry and taking care of my clothes it's calming for me I love the process of it.
I have been experiencing an increase in spots on my bottom and they hurt a bit when you press on them and when I sit down. It’s not uncommon for me to have spots in these areas, I have had bad acne since a child and have really sensitive skin where heavy moisturisers will cause a load of spots to appear on my arms and legs, so I have to be careful and particular about what I use. Using suncream on my body in the summer and swimming in the pool can cause spots on my body too, including my bottom, as the cream can be a bit heavy/greasy and the chlorine chemicals irritate my skin and dries it out, contributing to spots.
However, I have I have noticed an unusual increase in spots on my bottom recently and it seems everyday there is a new one. It got me thinking, could the toilet seat at home be contributing to this? If I use the toilet at work or in public, I always wipe the toilet seat with paper and then put a layer of toilet paper around the whole seat before I sit. However, at home I don’t do that as it’s my house and you expect it to be clean and okay. It’s got me thinking, is it possible the bacteria from my family’s skin microbiome is on the toilet seat and not agreeing with me? Or are the men in my house accidentally peeing on the seat and are just wiping it with toilet paper instead of disinfecting it, causing that to give me spots? Other than that, I don’t know what it could be as I have not changed any laundry products or body products recently
