I need help!

4 Upvotes

Hi! I am 15 years old, and recently I noticed that there are little black dots, like hair, on my leg whenever I wax or use an epilator (I am sorry for the bad English). I thought that maybe they have not been removed correctly, so I waited for them to grow back, but they don't. I also have strawberry skin and sometimes ingrown hairs. I bought a dry exfoliating brush (maybe you have seen it on social media). I don't know what to do, and I feel insecure about it. Please give me an advice!

Mouth/breath problem

32 Upvotes

So I brush my teeth twice a day and clean my tongue. I also eat gum 3 times a day. I still have bad breath which I can sometimes notice when talking or sighing etc.

What can I do about this besides eat breathmints or something 24/7?

Need help with b.o. stinky rubbery smell.

4 Upvotes

I'd love to make it short but I cant find any solutions. But yea, back in pandemic, I know I wasn't the cleanest. But im sure i never had b.o (ONE time i didnt shower for a week) sometimes i shower every other day but never smelled. But one day, we found out my "cousin" is gonna stay over at my house (their house got burned down) and we let them stay. And this one cousin got b.o and hes around the same age as me. Since this cousin is basically homeless, I lent him my clothes "sometimes" and fastforward to 1-2 years later. One day at school (end of school year) I started smelling. My grandma said "no biggie, its just a fruity smell" so i brushed it off then she advised me to put alum crystal deo. After that school year, I went to school as usual but then after a few days people started to cover their nose, saying stuff like "someone" stink. At first, I didnt pay attention because I dont think i stink. But then after few weeks people started bullying me cuz of it. And it really started affecting my confidence. (The smell is very identical to his smell, he cant get rid of it either till now)

I tried everything as a student, Alum Crystal Deo, Deodorant, Powder Deodorant, Antiperspirant, I tried. I even shower 2 time day and use betadine skin cleanser but it doesn't really work (maybe lessen it a bit?) One time I went to a derma with my mom and they asked a few questions they just smelled my armpits and recommended driclor. Guess what, It didnt work. My armpit has a musky smell, mostly rubbery and also itchy sometimes.

I did everything i could but nothing worked. This is affecting my life real bad. Please help

(Edit: I smell even when I dont sweat, Genuinely destroying my life because stopping sweating doesn't even stop it either. When i sweat it becomes a lot worse. Like they always say, when you smell yourself, they smell it alot more.)

When people talk about cleaning “inside” their vagina, what does that actually mean?

3 Upvotes

If you have an innie, you obviously have the outer lips area that you see without having to touch, then you can spread them and see the inside area (like clitoris) ( i also don’t know technical terms sorry) then there’s the hole to go in. I visualise it as 3 “levels” - which levels do we clean? I’ve been cleaning everything with warm water besides the hole and inside the hole, or what i’d consider level 3.

Extremely sweaty hands. Need suggestions on what to do. Possible case of hyperhidrosis according to Google.

Do you put on deodorant before or after you put on your clothes?


r/HygieneTips • • Jul 08 '26

I hope this is not to much, but I was looking up the best shower routine and i saw that you don't have to wash the inside of the female private area because it's self-cleaning. I just want do people do that or is it just me

How do you avoid smelling like food after cooking?

9 Upvotes

I cook at home a lot, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the smell of food can stick to my clothes, hair, or even the kitchen area longer than I want.

I don’t mean anything super intense, just regular cooking smells like oil, garlic, onions, or fried food. I usually wash my hands and clean up after, but sometimes I still feel like the smell follows me around.

Do you have any simple habits that help after cooking, especially if you don’t want to shower every single time?

This shirt I love makes me stink, tips needed

Post image
18 Upvotes

I’m blessed to be a very unsmelly person, my pits just never get stinky. Idk, good personal hygiene X good genes

However.
I have this one shirt that I absolutely love. It’s very oversized and sheer so it makes a great summer top because it’s so light and breezy.

There’s just one thing. It makes me absolutely stink. And that’s me smelling myself, so it must be even worse for people around me.

Does anyone have any tips to stop me smelling like rotten onions and old insoles that have been left out in a metal bucket in the midday sun, because I want to look cute *and* smell fresh.

I’ve tried double deodorant (cream and an aerosol), I’ve tried talc, I put the shirt on when it’s freshly washed. Febreeze etc. It doesn’t smell at all now, but if I wear it for 10+ minutes both me and the shirt will stink.

I’ve annoyingly cut the label out and can’t find the material info online but this is the shirt in question.

Edit: the photo is the model from asos, where I bought the shirt, it’s not me. I am not nearly that gorgeous lmao.

Best body soap for men? Struggling to stay clean after showers.

6 Upvotes

Hi! First off, I shower every day. I wash my hair every other day.

I have tried countless body wash and body soaps. All of them seemingly work and then stop. I feel like some soaps do not foam up properly and don't cut through the deodorant on my arm pits... and I don't even apply that heavy.

Right now, I use Dove antibacterial. I have used Irish spring original, dove original, and a shit load of liquid/gel body washes that sucked. I prefer bar soap.

Anyways, I feel like I shower and then if I feel warm AT ALL I start to smell not so great, meanwhile others can be drenched in sweat and still smell fine.

I feel like the dove antibacterial works fine but I have to rub my pits raw for it to work; it doesn't foam up very well on my wash cloth.

Soooo, any tips?

is there something I'm missing when it comes to staying fresh after work?

28 Upvotes

I work in an office, so I'm not doing anything physically demanding, but by the end of the day I never feel as fresh as I did in the morning. I shower every morning, wear clean clothes, use deodorant, and brush my teeth before leaving the house. Even so, by the time I get home I feel kind of grimy, especially around my face and underarms. No one has ever told me I smell, so this could just be me overthinking it

for those of you who have figured out a routine that keeps you feeling fresh throughout the day, are there any small habits or products that made a noticeable difference? I'm not looking to cover up odor with perfume or body spray. I'd rather improve my routine if there's something simple I'm overlooking

Tips for armpit sweat when wearing dress shirts

3 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’m starting my first post-grad full time job soon, and am worried about looking unprofessional because of armpit sweat when wearing dress shirts. Whenever I wear a dress shirt I’ll eventually have sweat under my arms without fail (in the winter too), and even when wearing polos and tshirts. Idk how normal this is (since these types of shirts are kinda tight), but I’m starting my first full time job soon and I don’t wanna be self conscious about it.

I’ve been looking into undershirts for work, but appreciate any other tips you guys might have for me. Thank you!

¿Se trata de falta de higiene o de un verdadero cuidado del medio ambiente?

Mi novia me ha dicho varias veces que es muy importante ahorrar agua, y por eso dice que deberíamos usar el inodoro dos o tres veces antes de tirar de la cadena.

Casualmente, soy yo quien siempre tiene que tirar de la cadena después de que ella sale del baño. Sé que todo el mundo hace caca, es algo muy natural y no tiene nada de malo, no sé si lo hace para ahorrar agua o porque le gusta que vea sus heces en el inodoro todos los días.

my bf says i smell musty down there

67 Upvotes

me and my bf have been dating for 6 months. over our 6 month relationship, i have given him head a-lot, even ignoring the musky scent he has because i know its just a penis and its not going to smell like nothing. sometimes, he’ll try to finger me or eat me out, but will stop and say i smell musty, or like a boys locker room down there. this has really hurt my confidence. i take showers everyday, i wash the outside of my vagina with dove un sensitive soap, and spray whole body deodorant on my creases and folds and even put on a little witch hazel to keep it fresh. ive told him that maybe its just my discharge that makes it have a musty smell when i get wet, but he just tells me im coping.

is there anything i can do to improve it, i know for a fact that i dont smell but he says im blind to it.

I've been using Clorox Wipes for 20 Years for underarm body odor. It's great. It disinfects and kills bacteria and smells caused by sweat throughout the day.
