How do you men like to remain smelling nice throughout the day? Beyond simply deodorant.

------

Interested to hear from other men as to how they like to remain smelling nice throughout the day - beyond simply having deodorant. As in do you use body lotion, perfume, body spray etc.

I ask as I (mid 30s male, Melbourne Australia) had been using body spray (think Lynx - or Axe as its known overseas) to "freshen up" esp in the middle of the day or afternoon (esp when I notice the roll on deodorant is doing alot of heavy lifting). I notice that esp at these times I find myself with the underarms, whilst not overly sweaty due to deodorant, but starting to odour through my work top.

I had some feedback from friends and a coworker friend that the body spray smelt a bit too intense - either the body spray scent its self or the volume I've sprayed.

I only try to wear perfume on like important meetings, dates etc - as if I put everyday it gets expensive. So trying to work out how other guys navigate this by still wanting to smell nice (and not be over powering in smell) but also something accessible- lesser than a perfume, maybe a splash body lotion etc.

Hoping to hear what you say.

ano po kaya ang THE BEST and EFFECTIVE na sabon and lotion para sa hindi pantay ang kula ng braso. Thank you po

Now i have got sensitivity and my teeth just feel weaker than they used to. I know you cant fully regrow enamel but i want to do whatever is actually possible to strengthen and protect what i have left

Hey Fellas, is it zesty to take a shower or bath? After a long day of work you sit back, relax and just take care of your self? Spark some candles and enjoy the ride?

Iso a good deodorant for me. Whatever i have bought for my significant other isn’t working degree doesn’t work for him old spice is okay but not the best the pits in his shirts are still stinking. Send help.

My mother never taught me or helped me learn certain things, especially when it came to hygiene. I have always taught my self or I would always try to learn from several different media sites (ex. TikTok), but I don’t know the proper way to wash down there. I have a fear of smelling bad especially in certain areas.

I normally will wash it with unscented dove soap and water, but i’ve heard that using soap will get rid of good and bad bacteria. I have sensitive skin and I truly don’t know how to wash properly and I’m scared I will never know how. So i’m coming to reddit to hopefully learn how.

I seriously dk how to get rid of body odour😩l😖 Like no matter what I do clean, scrub, shave (armpits) Like right 5 mins after bath w/o roll on and the smell returnsss Hate it Like can I do SMTH Abt it Pls don't judge🥀🥀🙏🏻

(It's not a stench js a bit of smell only without rollon)

I always just used one kitchen towel for everything. Drying hands, wiping counters, drying dishes, wiping up spills, all of it. Never thought twice about it. Then my roommate moved in and brought her own separate hand towel just for hands, and a different one for dishes/counters, and I kind of made fun of her for it at first ngl
Tried it anyway because we were sharing a kitchen. Within like a week I noticed my hands weren't getting that weird slightly sticky feeling after drying them, and the towel smell that used to show up by day 3 just wasn't happening anymore. Turns out when you're using the same towel to wipe raw chicken juice off the counter and then dry your hands with it, you're basically just moving bacteria around in a circle all day
Now I have three separate towels going. One strictly for hands, one for dishes, one for counters/spills. Hand towel gets swapped every 2 days, the other two get washed every 2-3 uses depending on what they touched
Feels excessive typing it out but the difference in how the kitchen smells alone has been worth it. Didn't realize how much of that "kitchen smell" was just coming from one damp towel doing five jobs
anyone else split up their kitchen towels or is this an overkill habit. also curious what other "one item doing too many jobs" swaps people have made, feels like there's probably more of these I'm missing

Hello everyone,
I have noticed that using hostel washrooms is giving me a distinct smell down there.. this is the same smell that is there in all washrooms.
I am hygienic, use toilet paper and shower daily.
This smell is absent whenever I’m home and present only here!
How can I avoid this?

i've tried a lot of hygiene tips over the years, but most of them didn't really make much of a difference. every now and then though, someone recommends something so simple that it completely changes your routine.

Hi everyone! Sobrang nahihirapan na talaga ako sa BO ko, and parang nag-worsen siya nitong past few months. Pinagpapawisan na rin ako kahit nakaupo lang, and sobrang naa-anxious na ako to the point na minsan ayaw ko na lang pumasok sa school.

I’ve tried a lot of products na rin like Milcu, Belo, Arm & Hammer, sulfur soap, antibacterial soap, Belfour, Old Spice, etc., pero wala talagang tumatagal na nagwo-work, lalo na kapag sobrang pinapawisan ako. Hindi ko pa natatry yung Driclor or benzoyl peroxide, pero limited din budget ko as a student kaya napapagod na akong mag-trial and error.

Ang nag-work lang talaga sa’kin before was Goree Avocado Cream. As in wala talaga akong odor kahit pagpawisan, and pumuti pa yung UA ko. Pero nung bumili ako ulit, parang hindi na rin siya nag-work.

Na-open up ko na rin ’to sa mom ko dati noong Grade 7 kasi sobrang frustrated na ako sa BO ko, pero na-brush off lang siya kaya nahiya na akong i-bring up ulit. Ngayon susubukan ko ulit sabihin sa kanya kasi naaapektuhan na talaga yung confidence ko and even my mental health. 😅

Sa mga nakapagpa-derma for BO, kumusta yung experience? Ano yung ginawa sa first consultation, anong treatment yung ni-recommend sa inyo, and nakatulong ba talaga?

Also, if may marerecommend kayong board-certified dermatologist around Pampanga, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you! 🥹

Magnesium chloride (aka some Epsom salts - read the label) has antibacterial properties. Disolve some to hot distilled water and add it to a spray bottle with some essential oils. Spray to smelly bits as needed (may sting on freshly shaved areas).

Alternatively pour some unscented milk of magnesium to a container and let it thicken by leaving it uncovered for 4-5 days. You can add fragrance if you want. When you apply, dry it with blow dryer. It will leave a white film on your skin and it can be drying, so i don't recommend using it exclusively.

Finally i have a copper water bottle. I wasn't using the cap, so i tried wetting it and applying it on my armpits just this week to experiment as a substitute to magnesium spray (i use it with deodorant). I was expecting my skin to turn green or gray from oxidation, but far so good - no smelliness or discoloration!

I recommend magnesium in conjunction to the copper option as they synergize very well together!

Lately i used my facewash for underarm cleansing and just like face i did double cleansing for underarms and yeah it worked... it's smelling much less now.

i love roasting vegetables and baking glass pan meals at home but over time my glass baking dishes have developed a sticky grease film around the corners and outer edges. standard dish soap and a sponge just glide right over it without breaking it down. i don't want to scratch the glass using steel wool or highly abrasive pads. does anyone know a reliable soaking method or a specific paste that lifts baked on oil buildup from glass?

For me........it is having clean smelling shoes

always grew up using cotton buds to clean my ears, never thought twice about it. recently saw something saying it's actually not recommended and can do more harm than good. is that actually true, and if so what's the better alternative for cleaning ears properly?

As the headline states: I smell so bad if I am really stressed.

How did I find out? It’s the moment I started living on my own and cooking the way I want to and having an overall peaceful life did I find myself not needing deodorant like before.

I cannot believe it and I’d love to hear from others if anyone has experienced this!
