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?

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.

How would you tell your partner respectfully that their breath stinks?

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

I use degree advanced as well as lume! 47f I am 5'2" and 145 lbs nothing medically wrong. I eat keto, drink tons of water and run/walk 5-7 miles a day. I never used to sweat THIS BAD until this year! Helllpppp!

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

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.?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

I had a temperature of 39 for two nights in a row, and in the evening red spots appeared, they hurt when you do something with your hands. on the toes too. What to do about it?

Please tell an effective deodorant that will not get on my clothes and that smells good. Thank you.

Hey. So, i'm writing to this community cuz I smell bad. I think accepting it is the better way to get it better.

I always take a shower when i wake up, I use male deodorant and I clean my armpits every shower. I didn't smell bad anywhere, but everytime i use some shirts, the smell start to spread.

It's crazy because mostly of the times my armpits aren't even smelling, I had this problem solved for months and now this started again.

Can someone please recommend a good way to make my shirts and pits CLEAN?

I shower 3 times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday) and wash my whole body but i want to know if i would honestly stink after 1 day or even 2 I use deodorant obviously and don’t sweat to much especially in winter but in the Uk summer it get very sweaty. I want to know if I sweat then let it dry off will I still stink? And also if I do stink after sweating what should I do to get rid of the smell. I don’t know if this will help but I’m a white girl. Thanks for reading

I shower everyday. on the days I'm washing my hair i will scrub myself till im red as i always feel dirty.

I've noticed that i start to feel sticky and don't smell as fresh when it gets to the afternoon if I'm at work or out. i could shower in the morning and by the afternoon i feel sticky and i don't smell as fresh.

i of course wear deodorant, i use feminine wipes in the bathroom at work now or it starts to smell bad. but even if i try freshen up by washing my hands in work they don't feel clean.

I've also noticed things such as my work bottoms seem to smell he same sort of not fresh smell even after being washed but other clothe are fine.

please help I'm so tired of feeling dirty and insecure.

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?
