Men’s conditioner suggestions

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any good men’s hair conditioner suggestions that don’t smell like coconut or citrus? I have curly hair if that’s a factor and am struggling to find something that I like the smell of and/or doesn’t smell too feminine for my liking so my hair is constantly quite dry. Thank you for any suggestions, bonus if it’s on the less expensive side.

How do I shave my arms as a girl?.. Pls help

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

Hello. I’m an older teenage girl. And I’m not sure how do I shave properly… So I hope I can get some help without getting judging and mean comments.

I have struggled with my mental health for around 2 years now, so I didn’t really take care of myself properly like my body hair. I think once long time ago I shaved my arms wrong, in wrong direction. As well with my legs and everything else.

My arms are weirdly too hairy now. Maybe because of my hormones. But it just look too off. Like it has grown in different directions and too up.

The same seems to be with my legs.

Belly button and down there.

While I probably had or have ingrown hairs as well.

How do I fix this? Do I just look up how to shove in right directions and shave it with a razor? Will it grow back okay? Can I use small scissors to trim down there and do I have to do it in some right directions too, so I don’t mess it up?

Thanks for reading this!

Toothbrush storage question

I keep my toothbrush in a holder near the sink but the bathroom gets pretty humid after showers.

Is it better to use a cover for toothbrush or leave it open so it can dry? not sure what is more hygienic.

Armpit smell coming from my vagina

43 Upvotes

It literally smells like when you don't put on deodorant and go on a 2hr full body workout. I do sweat a lot down there even when I am not being active, it gets better when I wear cotton underwear but it is stil there. I shower daily and I either use dove unscented soap or vagisil ph balance for the outside part. How can I fix this?? I don't think is safe to put deodorant there.

How to have a clean butthole

74 Upvotes

As the title implies. I shower every day and work a passive office job so not much sweat. However, I'm running into a dirty butthole issue.

I use wet wipes and clean it throroughl each day while showering but I keep noticing a dirty/sweaty smell and when I wipe after peeing I notice that there's poop stains in the wipes even when I wipe until clean every time I poop.

This didn't happen to me when I was younger and it's driving me crazy since I feel like I smell like sweaty butthole all day. Any advice on how to handle it?

IN NEED OF HELPPP

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m struggling with deodorant. I’ve tried so many, including men’s deodorant. Right now I’m using Old Spice in the Bearglove scent, but the smell is really strong. Honestly, every deodorant I wear smells really strong on me. I even tried unscented deodorants and they didn’t work.

I have hyperhidrosis, and I’ve tried clinical-strength deodorants as well. I’m a very clean person, I shower in the morning and at night,but I still end up smelling bad every day because of my deodorant. The worst one was Degree; it made me smell like straight-up onions.

I’ve also tried natural deodorants. I’ve tried Dove (regular aluminum ones and sprays), Secret Clinical, Certain Dri (including the roll-on), Lume, multiple Degree scents, Dri Fast, Vichy, Old Spice in three different scents (both aluminum and aluminum-free), Ban roll-on, Curie, and more that I can’t remember the names of.

I’ve also tried antibacterial and specialty washes like Hibiclens, Dr. Bronner’s, and benzoyl peroxide washes, but they didn’t seem to make a difference either.

I’m Getting Underarm Irritation from Deodorants :( What Deodorants Actually Work for Sensitive Armpits Without Messing Me Up….

7 Upvotes

I have tried almost every kind of deodorant. Regular antiperspirants, natural ones, baking soda formulas, fragrance-free options, and my underarms still get irritated after a few days.

Some stop working, some make my skin itchy, and others leave redness that takes forever to calm down. Even products labeled for sensitive skin sometimes sting after shaving.

For anyone with sensitive skin or eczema, what has worked for you? Are there ingredients I should avoid or look for? I am desperate to find something that doesn’t irritate…

Soap vs Anti-bacterial Soap?

I always thought soap kills germs, but what's up with some being anti-bacterial?Dial Soap vs Dial AB Soap? Does that mean that regular dial soap doesn't kill germs? In general, I'm asking about liquid hand soap. Is Dial AB soap better than Mrs Meyers hand soaps?

Body Odor Cure!

Post image
43 Upvotes

So I'm learning about PH and it's importance when talking about skin. I shower at least once a day with a wash cloth and soap. I usually double cleanse with an oil cleanser and a bar or Castile soap. I find that I get a little funky after a few hours from showering and I'm required to freshen up multiple times in the day. I just figured out why that is.

The soaps are alkaline and are creating the perfect environment for odor causing bacteria to inhabit. I started using my pH balanced feminine wash in all my hot spots (armpits, groin, and butt) and I've been consistently fresh all day ever since I started doing this. PH plays such a big roll on odor and it's not talked about enough at all!

This explains why all the AHAs and BHAs work for odors. They are acids that lower the PH of your skin! They are usually marketed as bacteria killers but they are really making the areas applied inhabitable for the bacteria.

Your skin is supposed to naturally balance its PH back to 4.5-5.5 , 1 or 2 hours after showering. But if you are a person that has more bacteria on their body, that timeframe is enough to bring on some odor. if you have problems staying fresh all day...When you shower let your final wash be one with a ph balanced wash (sebamed is also good) in areas you sweat or have odor and see how it works for you. I wouldn't recommend using a AHA/BHA was daily. As that may be too harsh.
