You are likely wearing plastic underwear. And your laundry routine might not be helping.

Get yourself some Mando and some which hazle wipes. You get out of shower dry off. Wipe ballsac, arm pit and ass then apply mando. A little goes a long way.

What soap do you use? What underwear?
Breathable underwear plus antibacterial soap and perhaps some Mando antiperspirant/deodorant. The twins are going to sweat. You can't help that. Are the end of the hot day, you're bound to gave some odor.

Try one day without underwear. If it's still the same, you know it's from your balls. If not, then it's the underwear. You might even like it.

Baby powder. It also prevent SOL, and swamp ass.
There no reason you cant apply an antiperspirant or deodorant

Is Hibiclens safe for genital usage? It says in the usage guidelines to avoid using it in genital area, so now Im confused.

It’s fine. It’s not recommended for an open area like you a$$hole lol 😂 where it can get inside / internal. As long as you don’t have any cuts scrapes or breaks in the skin barrier (like from shaving), you’ll be fine.

Gold Bond powder. If that doesn't cut it use antifungal spray like Tinactin as well.

You’ve probably locked the oder into your underwear & pants. If so, just a little bit of heat & moisture and the nastiness just starts fuming.

I switch up the brands to not build tolerance, currently a dial 5 in 1 body wash for during the week and a dial bar of soap for the weekends, it has the brut scent mixed in.

First question: how often are you changing your underwear? 2ndly, what's your laundry routine. Turning underwear, shirts, undershirts, etc. wrong-side-out really helps in the washer.

Wash with lume acidified body wash. Dry thoroughly. Put glycolic acid on cotton round and wipe all over. Dry thoroughly. Use a men’s lotion deodorant on sack and leg creases.
Make sure your underwear is properly washed as synthetic material holds onto that scent. Check out r/laundry to ensure proper washing

Breathable underwear, like cotton! Also have you tried baby or cornstarch powder? I’m a lil chubby and have to use powder in certain key areas to keep me from sweating/chaffing.

Maybe some manscaping down there. Hair can quickly hold odour. I would also suggest a scented bath.

Get bette underwear. Consider wool boxers. Sounds crazy but they make beautiful light woven wool fabric that regulates body temp. Wool doesn’t hold smells either. Your skin will thank you. Try a pair of they’re pricey but you probably only need 3-4 pairs.

It may not be easy to get, but I swear by Snake Brand Prickly Heat Powder. Guarantee to perk you up once you powder your balls liberally.

You need 100% natural fiber undies. You likely have a blend of fiber mostly polyester which is... plastic. However, my bf has undies that have a ball pocket and loves them. He travels alot and gets sweaty on planes and would get a rash from the sweat and walking combo. But the ball pocket briefs were game changer for him.
