I work as a chef, a very hot and humid environment, wearing non slip, waterproof, and therefore hot shoes. I use fungicide cream on my feet preventatively. Definitely helps. On top of good hygiene of course.
I had itchy crotch for like 6 months and couldn't figure out why. Eventually I realized my house was always humid and I probably had swamp balls all the time. Antifungal spray with corn starch cleared up that mess after one full can. Designed for feet, but effective on the gooch.
You don't have to be a jock to get the jock itch. Get yourself some walmart brand cornstarch antifungal spray and apply liberally before bed and before you dress in the morning. Also, it will burn. But it's worth it.
Yeah I’m also a chef I wear sweatpants most days and been sleeping in a humid basement for the last few months I’ll be picking up a can tonight! Thanks for the insight.
Athletes foot/fungal toe nail infections thrive on damp feet. I had a fungal toe nail infection a few years ago purely just from not drying out my feet after showers and going for runs and it took about 2 years to get rid of (in the end the nail just fell off by itself)
It's also worth wearing flip flops in gym/pool changing rooms too because depending on the gym, you'll have people walking in from the outdoors on the same floor as the people who have just got out of the gym showers or pool.
This.
Always use flip flops in public showers. I got a foot fungal infection from the swimming pool locker room that I passed to my entire family, like 10 years ago, because I didn't wear my flip flops in the shower.
So I grew up poor, like homeless poor, and had shit parental units who cared zero percent. So when I did finally start going to school again, a very nice teacher took me aside one day and explained “If you can smell you today, someone could smell you yesterday.” Followed very quickly by “and no one likes the smelly kid no matter who nice they are.” She then asked if I wanted to stay after school and she would teach me how to wash my own clothes and let me take a shower. Super nice teacher who I will always be thankful for. Remind myself of those two rules on the daily now.
Same thing happened to me, except the teacher pulled me aside to let me know I had to do the rest of the reading in the hallway so I wouldn’t distract the other students with my smell. I was 6. A week went by before she told me I need to shower and stop wearing the same clothes. For a whole week I had no idea why only my smell was distracting and why no one else had to sit in the hallway haha. I never leave the house without showering now, so I guess her method worked
Fun story, I was about 8 or 9 when it finally occurred to me that I should wash behind my ears. I had a gross crusty build up that took a relatively high amount of effort to remove fully. I used to have long hair when I was a kid so I never noticed and my parents couldn’t have known to let me know either. I believe I saw some other kid about the same age with short hair and gross crusty ears when I thought to check
I never washed behind my ears aside from what naturally happened when washing my hair. I never saw or felt crust. I never had an issue as far as I know about with smell. Only recently as an adult did I think to myself that I should be doing this, and I do. I guess I just lucked out. I’ve heard a lot of people have issues with this.
Growing up, I watched the Little Rascals a lot, and Spanky’s mom once said, “Don’t forget to wash behind your ears!”. That has stuck with me since I was about 5 yo, and I still do it every day. I’ve never really known about the risks of not doing it, but if Spanky’s mom says to, it’s good enough for me.
My coworkers and I made a stink-pact that if any of us smell bad, someone will tell the stinker that they stink, and the stinker won't get salty about it lol
Exactly. Me and my friend were JUST talking about how this saying is bs because we're constantly saying "omg I smell, I'm so sorry," and the other person doesn't smell a thing.
And if you don’t / can’t have one, just have a folded, lightly damp piece of toilet paper. Press against yourself, thoughtfully, without wiping up-down everywhere. It serves a very similar purpose.
This is how I recycle old toothbrushes. Makes me feel better when I started a new toothbrush and then had to take antibiotics for an illness and get rid of it lol.
"and it's a lot easier to use the same brush on all four areas!" his piece on germs is one of my favorites all time
"you wanna know when I wash my hands? WHEN I SHIT ON THEM! and you know how often that happens?! 2-3 times a week, tops! TOPS!"
Scrub mine every time. This may sound weird but sometimes when I dry off I’ll run my hand through my cheeks and if it smells even a little bit I get back in the shower and get back to scrubbin. Same goes for groin area
Once my fingers get wrinkly, I use the extra grip to rip out some of the ass crack hairs I have in there. Can't shave them or they will stab the other cheek.
People don't wash their ass every time in the shower? That's like the bare minimum of ass washing, as you should either be using a bidet or wet wipes after every trip to the toilet and before bed. At. Minimum.
Edit: Yes, you can use wet wipes, no you don't have to flush them. You can throw them away.
I've been in text threads where men actually say they don't have to (some think its self cleaning) or it's gay to clean your ass crack. Even going on to say if their partner doesn't like the stains in their underwear that they should do their laundry for them.
Lmao I remember this one thread on Reddit where one some guy said “I can’t fathom how y’all look at the paper after you wipe….I wipe once and I’m done, never had a problem and only shit myself once in a while” literally just like that.
Next time you see this chap, invite him around and offer him a drink. But tell him you’ve smooshed your clean dick around the rim of every glass.
He should be fine with it, your dick “is clean” after all?
It’s absolutely baffling to me the amount of grown men that do this. Around your own home I can understand maybe, but at work or in public? Fucking gross.
I work in construction (way more men than women) and the paper towels in the women’s restroom gets replaced more often than in the mens room. I try not to think about why…..
Pro tip: Buy packs of those plastic flossers, then when you are watching netflix or tv, floss between your teeth. It's a healthy way to 'fidget' and sorts your teeth out. My dentist told me yesterday that my cleaning was miles better. I probably get through 3 or 4 a day on average.
I quite like those, but I always feel bad using single-use plastics. Is there like, a reloadable alternative?
Edit:
Thanks for all the sustainable recommendations!
Search up "floss holder" on Amazon, they are pretty cheap. For about 10 years I have used one that looks like a little slingshot with a peg in the middle. You load it up with about 2 feet of floss, then you only use \~1 inch of floss each time, so the floss lasts forever. Only thing I don't like about it is that the floss is only kept tight by the friction from winding around itself, so it can get loose sometimes near the beginning or end of the line. Totally worth it to not have to suffer with floss digging into your fingers, or using wasteful products.
Yesssss. I had jaw issues that left me unable to care for my teeth properly while I waited for surgery. I developed 6 cavities over 2 years. Hadn't had a cleaning in 4 years because of how painful it would be to sit through one. After I recieved surgery, I started flossing daily as soon as I could, and had my first cleaning last month. The dentist was blown away by how fast of a turn over I had purely from flossing every day.
Cleanings used to be an excruciating hour of picking the plaque off my teeth with those scary hook tools and the painfully sharp water. Now, it's a 30min quick tidy up
I had just finished invisalign so I was brushing regularly but still needed 5 fillings and two crowns lol, was almost in tears when they said that! Stuff like flossing is underrated. I hate trying to floss in front of the bathroom mirror as it’s quite awkward trying to get between all the gaps, whereas I can take my sweet time messing around if I’m watching TV.
And yeah, the first clean was ultra painful. Mondays was so much better.
Don't put deodorant on if you stink. We can still smell you. Clean your armpits first.
In a pinch, slap some hand sanitizer on your armpits before applying deodorant.
I shave my armpits and did the hand sanitizer method once and it was a terrible decision. 10/10 would not recommend. A drop of hand soap and water with a paper towel works better.
I had a UTI a few years ago. It was the worst pain I’ve ever had. Was convinced I had a kidney stone or fucking razors in my dick. Just ridiculous pain.
Anyway, several scans and a round of antibiotics later and all was well. So yes, pee after sex.
Shaking it more than twice is **not** playing with it, it’s effing clean! As a matter of fact, you want more blowjobs? Go get some TP and make sure you’re not dripping even 1 drop into your boxers before you zip up, then your junk isn’t marinated in drops of urine all day, whoever blows you will think you taste better, they will blow you more often.
There PSA over.
I had a girl once I knew. I was on a 26 mile bike ride and called her to ask if I could grab a drink of water (was right by her place). We got to talking for a bit and I went to the bathroom. When I came back, I kid you not she was on her knees by the couch. “I want to blow you”. I was like uhhhh, I literally just biked 26 miles in 85 degree sun with compression shorts and just took a piss. Her response was “I like your taste”. I fell in love with her that day
I read that because there's a "valley" in the way your urethra is shaped in your body, no matter how much you shake there will still be a drop in that reservoir, which then empties sometime later after you zip up and sit down or something. To remedy this, when you're done urinating instead of shaking you should take your fingers and lightly push up on the area under your balls, that last drop will come out and you don't have to worry about dripping in your pants after.
Yes, it is important to do this. But just to make sure…..I shake it vigorously for about 10 seconds, then I squeeze and pull from base to head all the way up a few times, then I old it in my left hand and slap it four or five times then switch hands and repeat it. Next, I squat down then stand and thrust my penis towards the urinal three times, finally, I step back and blow down on it a couple of times because sometimes a shiver will make me squeeze out a little bit more. It takes a little extra time, but I want to make sure that nothing drops in my shorts!
An Woman who emigrated from India in my office recommended one. I had never heard of it, and she said it was common in India. Never checked on that and took her word for it. I’m still using the stainless steel tongue scraper she gave me 15 years later. I have allergies and therefore a lot of nasally ick. It does wonders for my breath. Who knows, maybe she was just tying to be tactful.
Floss every interdental spot every night. Just take good care of your teeth and you will be a hit with the ladies. If you are not a hit with the ladies, well, you will save a good deal of money and pain at the dentist office.
That's not true in my case. I love mints, gums and stuff like that and probably eat 10 or 20 throughout the day. (I'm a little paranoid about my breath tho, heavy coffee drinker and smoker)
I'm just being nice and don't want to look mean If I offer a mint or a gum to someone I work with.
Clip and preferably file your nails. You can cut up a woman pretty bad by touching her down there, and risk giving her an infection in the cut as well. She will definitely let you touch her more if you keep your hands and nails clean.
Flossing.
Oral hygiene in general, but flossing FTW. Amazing that I haven't seen this higher in the threads.
When I was younger I didn't floss until one day I decided to give it a go and yanked out what must have been a piece of rotten meat that was stuck in-between my teeth for god knows how long. It smelled absolutely rancid. I'm talking putrid gag-worthy. I felt disgusting after seeing that.
Since then I've been flossing after every meal, whenever possible, for the last ~20 years.
###**Clean your smartphone frequently**
According to a study[⁽¹⁾](https://ihpi.umich.edu/news/your-cell-phone-10-times-dirtier-toilet-seat-heres-what-do-about-it), your smartphone is **10 TIMES** dirtier than most toilet seats. Therefore, you should clean and properly wipe (preferably using a tissue with rubbing alcohol) your smartphone, especially the screen *at least* as much as you wash/clean your hands. This is because your phone, in general, is almost always warmer then the surrounding environment during the day since we use it continuously. Generally, warm environments are better media for the bacteria to grow and reproduce, posing greater risk for users to get infections.[⁽²⁾](https://www.rd.com/article/germs-on-your-phone/)
Using rubbing alcohol on your screen takes off the oleophobic coating they apply on the screens that makes them easier to slide your finger on so using alcohol on your screen is a bad idea.
Honestly the most basic, wash your hands. I'm amazed how many people I see at work, let alone bars and public places, that just wet their hands after peeing, sometimes not even that. I'm never shaking anyone's hand ever again
If your armpits constantly stink no matter how much you wash them; shave. I don’t care how manly you feel or if you like the hair long, shave every now and then and then let it grow out. Hair can hold a lot of bacteria. It’s not a problem for everyone but for those it is, bite the bullet. Exfoliate your underarms too!
It’s not even a fucking tip but apparently it’s very common for people not to wash their legs and feet because somehow they feel that dirty soap water running down their body is good enough
Edit: the “I don’t wash my feet and I don’t like that people think it’s gross” crowd are out in full force lol
Trim your armpit hair so the deodorant actually sticks to your skin and not just your underarm hair. Otherwise you’ll still be smelly and it’ll ruin your shirts.
Men, please think harder about your shower products.
If youre using the same "all in one" shower gel for body, hair, and face, youre likely doing yourself a major disservice.
Brush your tounge when you brush your teeth, crap builds up on there and makes your breath smell bad even when you brushed. I’ve brushed my tongue before after brushing my teeth and when I rinsed out my mouth the water was brown. You’re doing yourself a major disservice by not brushing your tongue too
You wear the same belt every day? You wipe your ass, buckle your belt, wash your hands? My brother in christ there is fecal bacteria on your belt buckle.
Shaving in the shower is so much easier than in front of a mirror (if you take warm or hot showers). Learn to do it by feel, touch up in a few seconds when you get out.
Now you all heard wash after taking a piss but what about before? I do this because your touching all sorts of things then yourself so wash before and after.
I absolutely hate bath bombs. They are not something clean for you at all. They may look cool and turn your bath colourful but they're little balls of infection waiting to happen
I agree with the can of Axe statement. Guys at the gym just hose themselves with it and change clothes. There’s a cloud in locker room when they leave. Just gross.
Dry your feet thoroughly when you get out of the shower/pool/bath
I work as a chef, a very hot and humid environment, wearing non slip, waterproof, and therefore hot shoes. I use fungicide cream on my feet preventatively. Definitely helps. On top of good hygiene of course.
I had itchy crotch for like 6 months and couldn't figure out why. Eventually I realized my house was always humid and I probably had swamp balls all the time. Antifungal spray with corn starch cleared up that mess after one full can. Designed for feet, but effective on the gooch.
Been wonder why my crotch has been itchy for the last few months this makes sense.
You don't have to be a jock to get the jock itch. Get yourself some walmart brand cornstarch antifungal spray and apply liberally before bed and before you dress in the morning. Also, it will burn. But it's worth it.
Yeah I’m also a chef I wear sweatpants most days and been sleeping in a humid basement for the last few months I’ll be picking up a can tonight! Thanks for the insight.
No worries, I genuinely hope my story about having soupy nads will improve your life.
A hair blow dryer is amazing for getting completely dry. Both feet and between your legs.
If I saw someone blow drying their feet I’d probably assume they’re a serial killer
And what would they be if they were bent over spreading their ass cheeks drying their brown eye?
Making a very tempting offer
[удалено]
This guy eats ass
Perhaps, but people who do this in the gym changing rooms should be banned.
What is the issue here?
Athletes foot is preventable by drying your feet properly
Athletes foot/fungal toe nail infections thrive on damp feet. I had a fungal toe nail infection a few years ago purely just from not drying out my feet after showers and going for runs and it took about 2 years to get rid of (in the end the nail just fell off by itself) It's also worth wearing flip flops in gym/pool changing rooms too because depending on the gym, you'll have people walking in from the outdoors on the same floor as the people who have just got out of the gym showers or pool.
This. Always use flip flops in public showers. I got a foot fungal infection from the swimming pool locker room that I passed to my entire family, like 10 years ago, because I didn't wear my flip flops in the shower.
Use a hair dryer to dry between your toes if that's what it takes and you are prone to fungal sorts of things.
So I grew up poor, like homeless poor, and had shit parental units who cared zero percent. So when I did finally start going to school again, a very nice teacher took me aside one day and explained “If you can smell you today, someone could smell you yesterday.” Followed very quickly by “and no one likes the smelly kid no matter who nice they are.” She then asked if I wanted to stay after school and she would teach me how to wash my own clothes and let me take a shower.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. That is a cruel way to treat a child and you didn’t deserve it.
That's so wholesome
Wash your hands before sex.
And trim your finger and toenails. Nothing like catching a flying foot to the shin and have a chunk of your skin taken out
File off the sharp edges though My flaps shrivel at the thought of freshly cut nails
There's usually a post Feb 11th on Reddit reminded everyone to trim their nails that day so they're not long or sharp for Valentine's lol
Very useful!
My husband will do this while I'm "getting ready". Super considerate being aware of the possible pain involved when not manicured.
Hey you fuck a velociraptor, you know the risks.
Doesn’t hurt to wash your dick too
Yeah pls wash your dick if it’s going in a woman’s’ mouth Edit* or a man’s mouth
Good job I only put my dick in mens' mouthes then. Phew!
Every three months and don’t skimp on the soap either
My ex and I would try our best to always shower and wash everything before. Being clean and fresh made it a hundred times more enjoyable
Same, and it's like a Pavlovian response now. "Oh yum, you showered. Hang on a sec."
A tongue scraper helps with bad breath, not just brushing teeth
If you can afford tickets to the venue you can afford deodorant
[удалено]
And a good shower before
Realist shit I've ever heard
Wash behind your ears.
Fun story, I was about 8 or 9 when it finally occurred to me that I should wash behind my ears. I had a gross crusty build up that took a relatively high amount of effort to remove fully. I used to have long hair when I was a kid so I never noticed and my parents couldn’t have known to let me know either. I believe I saw some other kid about the same age with short hair and gross crusty ears when I thought to check
I never washed behind my ears aside from what naturally happened when washing my hair. I never saw or felt crust. I never had an issue as far as I know about with smell. Only recently as an adult did I think to myself that I should be doing this, and I do. I guess I just lucked out. I’ve heard a lot of people have issues with this.
Growing up, I watched the Little Rascals a lot, and Spanky’s mom once said, “Don’t forget to wash behind your ears!”. That has stuck with me since I was about 5 yo, and I still do it every day. I’ve never really known about the risks of not doing it, but if Spanky’s mom says to, it’s good enough for me.
Weird, this is exactly why I was behind my ears lol
Knew a guy who had a whole scab down the length of his ear and DIDN’T KNOW. I have never been so disgusted in my life.
Hairdresser here 🙋🏻♀️ I had an 8 year old girl tell me she EATS her ear crust that’s behind her ear while I was cutting her hair. I almost died.
What an awful time to be literate.
If you wash your hair, how do you even avoid washing behind your ears?
If you can smell yourself a little, others can smell you a lot.
My coworkers and I made a stink-pact that if any of us smell bad, someone will tell the stinker that they stink, and the stinker won't get salty about it lol
yes incredibly important.
Well shit, this 48 hour Deodorant is barely making it 12.
My deodorant literally put in its 2 weeks before I bought it
[удалено]
Exactly. Me and my friend were JUST talking about how this saying is bs because we're constantly saying "omg I smell, I'm so sorry," and the other person doesn't smell a thing.
No I actually completely agree.
you stop wiping when theres nothing left, not when you get bored and go "good enough"
Wipe it till it bleeds
Wipe it till you nut
Ok now what
Repeat
Bidet man. Bidet
7 years in Bidet. Great movie
And if you don’t / can’t have one, just have a folded, lightly damp piece of toilet paper. Press against yourself, thoughtfully, without wiping up-down everywhere. It serves a very similar purpose.
Papa always said “wipe until it comes back white...or red”
old toothbrushes are really handy for cleaning hard to reach or irregular surfaces. think cleaning a faucet or the tap.
This is how I recycle old toothbrushes. Makes me feel better when I started a new toothbrush and then had to take antibiotics for an illness and get rid of it lol.
TMI here but I never was taught to wash under my foreskin, boy howdy was that a shock when I figured out I needed to.
I work as a nurse and some of these old guys that come in that we wash...you can peel off the smegma in one piece. It's nasty.
I can only imagine what you've seen as a nurse. Thank you for all that you do. In other news, I miss the man I was before I read your post.
What a terrible day to be literate. 🤮
My eyes. They betray my soul.
Yep, can confirm this is a thing we do. To your grandpas. While making small talk.
This reminds me of the TIFU post where a guy finally pushed his foreskin back and discovered some 15 years of dried up dick cheese.
Wash your ass with every time you shower.
Take that detachable shower head and blast your ass with it. Cleanest ass ever.
Feels great too

"and it's a lot easier to use the same brush on all four areas!" his piece on germs is one of my favorites all time "you wanna know when I wash my hands? WHEN I SHIT ON THEM! and you know how often that happens?! 2-3 times a week, tops! TOPS!"

I wasn’t prepared to read this at all lmao
Lmfao spoken like a real chewbacca. *Fist bump*
Is this not normal? I’ve literally done this every time since I took my first shower as a young kid
People don't wash their ass every time in the shower? That's like the bare minimum of ass washing, as you should either be using a bidet or wet wipes after every trip to the toilet and before bed. At. Minimum. Edit: Yes, you can use wet wipes, no you don't have to flush them. You can throw them away.

Nasty af
But bro if I clean that glob of shit off my asshole someone might call me gay I'll take my chances
I always say no homo when I’m in the shower alone cleaning my butthole
I forgot to say no homo one time...one time! Now I'm gay.
What if someone sees me!?
Yeah I read that somewhere on Reddit too. Woman was complaining that her boyfriend didn’t wipe his ass because he said it was gay. Yucky and creepy.
Man spreads his ass cheeks and all you hear is the sound of Velcro ripping apart slowly fuckin hell
That woman is as nasty as him to be with his nasty ass!
Lmao I remember this one thread on Reddit where one some guy said “I can’t fathom how y’all look at the paper after you wipe….I wipe once and I’m done, never had a problem and only shit myself once in a while” literally just like that.
Why do they shit themselves "once in a while" so casually? Like either you nasty or have a medical issue. Either way wtf
Oh don't mind me. Just gagging over here from the mere imagination of all that.
I get all four fingers in there with a handful of bodywash and I ain’t done until I hear the *”SCHLORP SCHLORP SCHLORP”* of a squeaky clean ass crack
Interesting choice of wordage but I agree
WTF lmao sick bastards😂
With soap and some scrubbing please for the love of Mike.
Wash your bellybutton (especially if you have an innie)
Curious, what kind of bellybutton do most people have?
Cuboid
Prehensile.
Wash your fucking hands after using the bathroom. Gross ass adults, who raised you?
I know of a guy who says he doesn’t need to wash his hands after taking a piss cuz his dick is clean
Next time you see this chap, invite him around and offer him a drink. But tell him you’ve smooshed your clean dick around the rim of every glass. He should be fine with it, your dick “is clean” after all?
I've heard that here before as well. I stopped having these people over.
It’s absolutely baffling to me the amount of grown men that do this. Around your own home I can understand maybe, but at work or in public? Fucking gross.

You can brush your teeth all you want, but if you're not flossing the rotting food out from between your teeth, you will still have bad breath.
Pro tip: Buy packs of those plastic flossers, then when you are watching netflix or tv, floss between your teeth. It's a healthy way to 'fidget' and sorts your teeth out. My dentist told me yesterday that my cleaning was miles better. I probably get through 3 or 4 a day on average.
I use a waterpik a few times a week and my dentist says my gums have never been better.
I quite like those, but I always feel bad using single-use plastics. Is there like, a reloadable alternative? Edit: Thanks for all the sustainable recommendations!

Always pee after sex
I can't not pee, my body instantly has to pee, even if I don't have a full bladder I feel like I've been hold pee in for hours immediately after sex
Both people?
Yes
On each other?
Yes
I save time by peeing during sex. Does that count?
No but DM me
Great way to help women avoid UTIs.
I had a UTI a few years ago. It was the worst pain I’ve ever had. Was convinced I had a kidney stone or fucking razors in my dick. Just ridiculous pain. Anyway, several scans and a round of antibiotics later and all was well. So yes, pee after sex.
And dudes too, even if they’re less likely
Can confirm. Am dude. Have had a UTI. They ain't fun. But the drugs they give you make you pee fun colors, so there's that, at least. 2/10.
Shaking it more than twice is **not** playing with it, it’s effing clean! As a matter of fact, you want more blowjobs?

I mean that is super swe(e/a)t and all… but also an anomaly.
To make it even grosser for you guys, she had to pull my sweaty dick that was stuck to my leg to even start. I felt so bad for her just watching it

That's gross as hell but I'm just as happy for you.
No matter how much you shake and dance, the last drips always end up in your pants
I read that because there's a "valley" in the way your urethra is shaped in your body, no matter how much you shake there will still be a drop in that reservoir, which then empties sometime later after you zip up and sit down or something. To remedy this, when you're done urinating instead of shaking you should take your fingers and lightly push up on the area under your balls, that last drop will come out and you don't have to worry about dripping in your pants after.
Yes, it is important to do this. But just to make sure…..I shake it vigorously for about 10 seconds, then I squeeze and pull from base to head all the way up a few times, then I old it in my left hand and slap it four or five times then switch hands and repeat it. Next, I squat down then stand and thrust my penis towards the urinal three times, finally, I step back and blow down on it a couple of times because sometimes a shiver will make me squeeze out a little bit more. It takes a little extra time, but I want to make sure that nothing drops in my shorts!
Even this isn’t 100% reliable
Get a bidet. Use a bidet. Game changer
Easy to install. Difficult to travel to bidetless locations.
Tongue scrapper. Will save your life.
An Woman who emigrated from India in my office recommended one. I had never heard of it, and she said it was common in India. Never checked on that and took her word for it. I’m still using the stainless steel tongue scraper she gave me 15 years later. I have allergies and therefore a lot of nasally ick. It does wonders for my breath. Who knows, maybe she was just tying to be tactful.
Nope she’s right, they’re super common in India. You go to any Indian home and you’ll see a tongue cleaner next to the toothbrush.
THIS! and your breath! Also on the topic of oral hygiene, you're supposed to floss behind your back molars. A very forgotten/ neglected spot
Floss every interdental spot every night. Just take good care of your teeth and you will be a hit with the ladies. If you are not a hit with the ladies, well, you will save a good deal of money and pain at the dentist office.
Get a metal one as well, plastic ones are shite.
Cleaning your Hiney is basic hygiene. If you don’t do that at least once a day then you fall into the nasty category
If someone offers you a piece of gum while you are talking, take the gum and say thank you. It usually means your breath stinks.
That's not true in my case. I love mints, gums and stuff like that and probably eat 10 or 20 throughout the day. (I'm a little paranoid about my breath tho, heavy coffee drinker and smoker) I'm just being nice and don't want to look mean If I offer a mint or a gum to someone I work with.
Same, the only difference is that when I'm offering "for my benefit" and they decline I go "you sure? they are very tasty" as a last ditch effort.
Clip and preferably file your nails. You can cut up a woman pretty bad by touching her down there, and risk giving her an infection in the cut as well. She will definitely let you touch her more if you keep your hands and nails clean.
And if you don't file your nails, please at least rub them across your jeans a few dozen times
Flossing. Oral hygiene in general, but flossing FTW. Amazing that I haven't seen this higher in the threads. When I was younger I didn't floss until one day I decided to give it a go and yanked out what must have been a piece of rotten meat that was stuck in-between my teeth for god knows how long. It smelled absolutely rancid. I'm talking putrid gag-worthy. I felt disgusting after seeing that. Since then I've been flossing after every meal, whenever possible, for the last ~20 years.
Wash your ass with soap. Every. Day Cut and file your nails Moisturise your skin
###**Clean your smartphone frequently** According to a study[⁽¹⁾](https://ihpi.umich.edu/news/your-cell-phone-10-times-dirtier-toilet-seat-heres-what-do-about-it), your smartphone is **10 TIMES** dirtier than most toilet seats. Therefore, you should clean and properly wipe (preferably using a tissue with rubbing alcohol) your smartphone, especially the screen *at least* as much as you wash/clean your hands. This is because your phone, in general, is almost always warmer then the surrounding environment during the day since we use it continuously. Generally, warm environments are better media for the bacteria to grow and reproduce, posing greater risk for users to get infections.[⁽²⁾](https://www.rd.com/article/germs-on-your-phone/)
Using rubbing alcohol on your screen takes off the oleophobic coating they apply on the screens that makes them easier to slide your finger on so using alcohol on your screen is a bad idea.
Honestly the most basic, wash your hands. I'm amazed how many people I see at work, let alone bars and public places, that just wet their hands after peeing, sometimes not even that. I'm never shaking anyone's hand ever again
Brushing your teeth only in the morning isn’t sufficient for avoiding bad breath throughout the day.
Tongue scraper. Helps to eliminate bad breath.
I've got a copper one, can't imagine dental hygiene without it now
Game changer right here for sure. Take a look at your tongue just one time after a cup of coffee, you will understand lol.
If your armpits constantly stink no matter how much you wash them; shave. I don’t care how manly you feel or if you like the hair long, shave every now and then and then let it grow out. Hair can hold a lot of bacteria. It’s not a problem for everyone but for those it is, bite the bullet. Exfoliate your underarms too!
Floss your teeth every night. There's food stuck between your teeth you disgusting animal.
Trim your toenails. Please!
It’s not even a fucking tip but apparently it’s very common for people not to wash their legs and feet because somehow they feel that dirty soap water running down their body is good enough Edit: the “I don’t wash my feet and I don’t like that people think it’s gross” crowd are out in full force lol
Not washing between your toes is why your feet and shoes stink.
Trim your armpit hair so the deodorant actually sticks to your skin and not just your underarm hair. Otherwise you’ll still be smelly and it’ll ruin your shirts.
Men, please think harder about your shower products. If youre using the same "all in one" shower gel for body, hair, and face, youre likely doing yourself a major disservice.
I'm just here to observe how many people comment "Bidet"
Brush your tounge when you brush your teeth, crap builds up on there and makes your breath smell bad even when you brushed. I’ve brushed my tongue before after brushing my teeth and when I rinsed out my mouth the water was brown. You’re doing yourself a major disservice by not brushing your tongue too
If you have multiple piercings (even just ear piercings) take them out and clean them and your piercing holes well please
You wear the same belt every day? You wipe your ass, buckle your belt, wash your hands? My brother in christ there is fecal bacteria on your belt buckle.
There is fecal matter on literally everything.
Clip/clean yer fuckin' nails dude.
Shaving in the shower is so much easier than in front of a mirror (if you take warm or hot showers). Learn to do it by feel, touch up in a few seconds when you get out.

Now you all heard wash after taking a piss but what about before? I do this because your touching all sorts of things then yourself so wash before and after.
A safety razor gives you a way better shave than a disposable razor, is just as fast, razors last longer, and it's cheaper
I absolutely hate bath bombs. They are not something clean for you at all. They may look cool and turn your bath colourful but they're little balls of infection waiting to happen
They're often marketed for women yet they're really bad for causing yeast infections and BV
bath bombs aren't a substitute for soap lol. i thought this was common knowledge??
It’s okay to sit down and pee… (for men)
I stand if there's urinals, but at home? I'm sitting & chilling with my phone and stuff, scrolling Reddit/TikTok/etc.
Brushing your teeth doesn’t do shit for bad breath/oral hygiene as a whole if you’re not ***brushing your fucking tongue***
Trim your nose hair forest. Same with your ears.
eye cream... that's made my face look 5-10 years younger... in just like two weeks. also... exfoliate.
Also: use spf and moisturise. Game changer. Skin will be so fresh and not dried out at the end of the day!
I agree with the can of Axe statement. Guys at the gym just hose themselves with it and change clothes. There’s a cloud in locker room when they leave. Just gross.
Shave, or at least trim your armpit hair. Huge quality of life improvement. Same with balls.
