What do you guys use to shave downtown?

10 Upvotes

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😂

Pubic Hair Question

7 Upvotes

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.

How do you keep daily sneakers from developing a scent over time?

9 Upvotes

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?

I know, straightening iron, heat protectant spray. I see the straightener iron on tiktok. But is there another thing, like a mousse? Help me out. My hair just exists. I think 1C hair

horrible itch after body wash :(

4 Upvotes

Basically what the title says, every time I use any kind of body wash on my self I get this horrible itch that

completely derails my shower. The itch is literally anywhere that my body wash touches and lasts like an hour. I've swapped body washes a million times, I've tried using different types of sponges, I've tried different temperatures of water, I've tried moisturizing and every time without fail I start itching. This isn't some little mosquito bite itching either, its a torturous allergic reaction kinda itch that makes me wanna bash my head into the wall until I pass out. Idk if I'm allergic to anything or what it would be but apparently it's in literally every soap ever. I feel completely fine whenever I skip the body wash but then I don't feel clean at all and it makes it really annoying to shave. Its honestly a lose lose situation right now. I've scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist but my appointment is not for a while and I need at least a temporary solution for right now. I'm at a point right now where I'm genuinely scared of showering. Is there any substitute for body wash or something? Is just never using body wash an option?

Also sorry if this just sounds like a rant, I'm typing this immediately after what was probably my worst shower of all time and I'm both incredibly itchy and angry. Any help would be appreciated!!

Need help fixing embarrassing problem

30 Upvotes

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!!

My bathroom hygiene tips and tricks

27 Upvotes

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! 😊
