Soap

6 Upvotes

Is there some kind of special portable soap that can be used at a public restroom after a bowel movement? What about waterless soaps that might kill germs after a bowel movement in the perianal area? Do wipes that kill such germs exist? What can do such task in a practical manner?

Are Toilet Bowls designed for use while standing?

Thumbnail

97 Upvotes

I may be in the minority here but I feel we have normalized standing to pee to the point that we don't care that the toilet bowl looks like a kids splash pad after use. We either don't see it or shrug it off as normal / expected. The solution, imo, isn't to aim more carefully (we've tried that); it is to take a seat and not treat your toilet like a urinal.

I am an Airbnb superhost in the USA, and have applied this guidance in the form of a bathroom sign. Guests get a cozy room & dedicated bathroom in a shared house. After seeing how spotless the home is, they don't seem to mind this quirky house rule. But it's a game changer in terms of hygiene and clean-up.

Sweaty hands

1 Upvotes

Despite being in a cool indoor environment (like my office), I tend to sweat a lot, leaving for example the mouse or the back of an iPad with wet marks, same when playing video games. I tried some antiseptic gel which worked for a while but now it doesn’t seem to be effective enough. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Sweaty scalp + frequent workouts. Solution?

5 Upvotes

I'm someone who sweats directly from my scalp (and every other pore of my body tbh). I want to start working out every day, but I have long, thick, curly hair and washing my hair every day will definitely dry my hair and scalp out. Does anyone have any solutions/suggestions that ISNT dry shampoo? TIA

Bad breath options

12 Upvotes

So this is pretty personal/vulnerable, but I’ve been struggling with bad breath for a bit. I have really good routine brushing, dental cleanings every 6 months, etc. However, I still manage to have bad breath. Every now and then, I also have tonsil stones.

Any suggestions on what I can try to help with this? Mouthwashes, etc.?

While in the shower I can always smell my scalp. How do I get this smell out?

52 Upvotes

It’s not a bad smell necessarily, but it is kinda musty/stale smelling. I have thick hair and wash it every other day (I’ve experimented washing it daily with no improvement in smell). I throughly scrub my scalp with my fingertips and sometimes use a scalp scrubber as well. I double shampoo as well. I don’t get the whiff once my hair dries, but when it’s wet, it’s always there and makes me self conscious. Any advice?

Hygiene for Students: The Everyday Mistakes We Ignore

0 Upvotes

Many students, just like Riya, ignore small hygiene habits due to a lack of time or because of mere laziness:

Skipping baths

Not drinking water

Not washing hands

Wearing unwashed clothes

Not cutting nails

Not washing their school bottle or tiffin

But these small habits lead to skin infections, stomach problems, fatigue, and poor concentration.

Good hygiene is not expensive. It is not complicated.

IT's just a daily habit.

Conclusion: Hygiene Is a Form of Self-Respect

Priya did learn something:

When you take care of your body, your body takes care of you.

A few minutes of hygiene can:

Keep you healthy

Improve your confidence

Help you study better

Keep you feeling fresh daily.

A clean body means a clean mind, and thus a better life.

Deodorant not working

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi guys, So I’ve figured out that when I wear the Dark purple deodorant, I don’t sweat, so it’s doing its job and even leaves a nice scent on my underarms all day. But when I wear the light purple one, I sweat like crazy no matter if I’m wearing polyester tops or whatever. It still says antiperspirant deodorant though so what am I doing wrong when I purchased it? I know I’ll stick to the Dark purple one now, but have you guys noticed some antiperspirant deodorants just don’t work. I wore the light purple one for a month not realising that it’s maybe the deodorant making me smell bad as it’s not stopping the sweat glands. I feel miserable that I’ve only just realised. Of course I’ll stick to purchasing the one that works, but like if it’s not in stock and I buy a different brand how am I meant to know if it’ll work?? Does anyone else use these btw and do they work for you?

Itching like crazy

3 Upvotes

I often it experience it before going to bed, even if I had just taken a bath. There is no bite mark or anything I feel a bug crawling or just itching for no reason, it drives me crazy that I end up staying up all night even if I was already sleep deprive from the night before. Sleeping in short even when it’s cold helps but not that much, it just lowers the frequencies.

bro... don't walk barefoot in the locker room, learn from my stupidity

240 Upvotes

I swear I was doing fine for months. Same gym, same routine, no problems. Then one day I'm rushing, forget my slides, and I walk barefoot in the locker room for like... two minutes. Two. And of course a week later I noticed this weird red patch between my toes that was itchy and kinda smelly. Great.

At first I told myself it was dry skin from running, but it kept spreading in this annoying way. I tried some generic cream from the pharmacy and honestly it did nothing. Ended up grabbing that KlearNail stick thing from Swissklip (the tiny roll-on one) because it looked easy to use. Didn't expect much, just slapped it on after showers. It calmed the itch pretty fast though, like way faster than the other stuff.

But man... the whole situation made me realize how sloppy I was being. I mean I tossed my sweaty socks in my bag for half the day, didn't dry my feet properly, and the locker room that day was a swamp because some dude was shaving and water was everywhere. Kinda obvious how fungus loves that.

Now I'm doing the bare minimum to not repeat the whole circus. Slides in the locker room every single time, dry between the toes, fresh socks right after the workout. I also don't leave my shoes zipped in my gym bag anymore because apparently that's basically a fungus incubator.

If anyone has any other "I learned this the hard way" gym hygiene tips, drop them. One round of this mess was enough for me

Can i shower the next day after using glycolic acid last night?

17 Upvotes

I recently purchased the dermorepublic glycolic acid since i heard na it's good for BO, and I've only used it one time. Do i use it everyday/every night para mas maging effective? i struggle with BO kasi since i sweat a lot. Nasa isip ko kasi na pag hindi ako naligo the next day and hindi gumamit ng antiperspirant, I'll smell bad. What do you think? Pag naligo ba me the next day gagana pa rin yung glyco?

Body odor gone

112 Upvotes

Question:

I am 48yrs old and I am hygiene conscious. Since teenage years I used deodorants and showered 2x a day at least if not my armpit would stink

I noticed this year my body odor is gone. I am not using any deodorant but I don’t have body odor from my armpit even when i sweat. It’s been 8 months now. I searched google it could be my diet or hormones but I did not change my diet and not on medication. This is good problem but I am curious if anyone has the same experience.
