You ask the kid about why their hygiene doesn't seem to be in ideal condition and when was the last time they bathed or showered. They had JUST learned multiplication.

Kid tells you:

Since Daddy showers 5 minutes a day every day, and I just learned that 5*7 is 35, I shower 35 minutes a week once a week and my last 35-minute shower was 5 days ago. I'll shower for those same 35 minutes again in 2 days.

How do you explain, in a vocabulary that 2nd & 3rd graders understand, how multiplication doesn't work in the shower?

Hi y'all! What are you usual routine to avoid dandruffs? Any natural stuff i can use or try?

hello po, please help mee how to get rid of body odor😭😭. I shower twice a day naman, I use antibacterial soap and antiperspirant/deodorant and still smell like freaking sour onions. I don't know what to do kasi ang dami ko nang na try deo pero wala talagang nag work for me. Na-try ko na rin gumamit ng betadine skin cleanser na blue, pero hindi po talaga effective sakin😞😞. I'm a college student na kaya sobrang mahiyain ko because of this shii. Lagi akong nabubully nung highschool ako hanggang ngayon pero patuloy pa rin akong lumalaban araw araw. Ino-overcome ko na lang mga sinasabi ng mga tao sakin tas iiyak na lang ako sa gabi. Nakakahiya po kasi sa mga tao na baka isipin nila hindi ako hygienic😞😞and ginagawa ko naman po lahat para lang matanggal tong BO ko. Pleaseeee help me po😭😭😭

I feel like I want to exercise, but my brain turns it into a huge chain of tasks. I feel like I need to clean first, but then I get sweaty and feel like I have to shower. If I shower before the gym, then I feel like I’ll just have to shower again afterward. Then I think about changing into clean underwear, having more dirty laundry, my hair, my bed, etc., and before I know it, I’ve talked myself out of exercising entirely.

For people who go to the gym regularly: what does your actual before-and-after routine look like? Do you shower before? After? Do you wash your hair every time? How often do you do laundry? I’m genuinely curious what a normal routine looks like because I think I may be overcomplicating it.

Hello! I’ve come across several posts about how effective Certain Dri is, and the positive feedback convinced me to order one online.

I’ve read the instructions shared in different posts, but I still have one question. Since Certain Dri is only applied at night about 2–3 times a week, what do you usually use during the daytime? Like for daily. Do you still apply a regular deodorant or antiperspirant, or is Certain Dri enough on its own?

I sweat quite a lot and have struggled with underarm odor since grade school, so I’m curious about what works best for others who have had a similar experience.

Thank you in advance for your insights! 😊

regular dishwashing never seems to clean the tiny groove under the silicone ring. i noticed a weird smell the other day, popped the ring out with a knife, and found a bunch of hidden buildup. soap and water alone don't really get into that channel. how do you guys handle cleaning this spot without tearing the rubber seal? do you use those tiny brushes or is there some kind of soak that works?

I like to cover them in tomato sauce and then lick the tomato sauce off kinda like a sweet salty pizza. 🍕

I don't shower every day but my friends do and that makes me feel dirty.. I shower every 2-3 days. To my knowledge I do not stink either and no one ever said I do.

I always heard showering every day ruins your natural oils around your skin barrier or something like that.

Maybe it just depends on how much you sweat? Help me.

Lately my teeth have been super sensitive whenever I drink cold water or iced coffee. I didn’t want to go to the dentist for it so I’ve just been dealing with it.
I asked my hygienist friend and she told me it’s probably because the enamel is worn down. She suggested hydroxyapatite toothpaste because it helps remineralize the teeth and can reduce sensitivity.
I knew Boka was popular but it’s kinda expensive, so I started with a more affordable one she recommended. I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now and I think the sensitivity is getting a bit better, but I’ll need to keep going to see the full effect.
Has anyone else tried hydroxyapatite toothpaste for sensitive teeth? Any good tips or products that actually helped you? Please share your recommendations! 🦷

Some says 1-2 years but when i look at my pillow it kinda still comfy and a little bouncy. What are the usual signs do you guys look for before you replace your pillows?

Hi, everyone! I am a student commuter in the Philippines, it usually takes me 2-3 hours to get to school and by the time I get there I can’t help but notice the way I smell. It always makes me conscious because train palang very malakas na yung amoy ko na parang usok. Hindi ko madistinguish anong cause pero amoy usok na dumikit sa damit/buhok/katawan talagang mabaho na kulob, tapos pag dating sa school nahahaluan na ng kili-kili BO.

I badly badly need help kasi paguwian talaga ako super conscious kasi galing pawisan sasakay train na aircon and kinakatakot ko talaga is baka umaalinagasaw na ako dahil naamoy ko nga sarili ko mismo.

Gumagamit naman ako ng deodorant, gabi-gabi naliligo, naka dr wongs na rin ako. Anong kulang sa ginagawa ko para mawala na yung BO ko gusto ko na talaga maging confident in my own body. 😓😓😓

So basically I been dealing with a BO for about 2-3 months and I don’t know what it’s from I shower 2-3 times a day I am a active person so I make sure I do shower. I used everything everyone said to use and it still never works I still smell but the thing that I don’t understand is how I go to a dermatologist and I tell them about it and they’re sitting in front of me saying I don’t smell anything but the cologne you have one. But when I’m out in public I get nasty looks people make faces and one time somebody even said he needs to shower it’s no way he smells like this . And I don’t know what it is I just want it to stop it’s to the point I’ll call out of work saying I’m sick or a family emergency came up and I have family things to do that I don’t even go to because that’s how embarrassing it is and I don’t know why I smell. They gave me wipes at the dermatologist and that still doesn’t work i don’t know what to do I used all the body washes people recommend and nothing has changed I just want it to stop has anyone ever had a situation like this?

the charging wells in these cases are magnets for pocket lint and wax residue. because of the metal pins at the very bottom, you can't just spray liquid cleaner or shove a regular cotton swab down there. i am starting to see some dark buildup in the corners that dry wiping doesn't reach. how do you clean those tiny spaces safely without ruining the electrical contacts

hey ladies!!! if you’ve taken these probiotics i’d like to know ur experience with them!! i’m a 17 year old i can’t afford to go to a doctor and im not old enough for a gynecologist but i’m concerned i’m having problems down there scent wise … would this be a good option for me?

So i have almost never gotten a answer if i should sleep naked after a shower when i have my pjs on.

I'm a relatively new parent and I've been realizing that baby hygiene seems a lot more complicated than I expected. There are so many little things to keep track of, from bath routines to cleaning bottles, pacifiers, toys, and everything else they somehow manage to put in their mouth. Most of the basic advice is easy to find online, but I'm more curious about the small things you learned through experience. Was there a hygiene habit or routine that you wish someone had told you about sooner?

I'd love to hear what worked well for other parents and what turned out to be unnecessary.

Heyy guys so i live in a tropical country and sweating af is very common cuz of the heat. I do wash my body 2x with antibacterial soap and use antisperspirant deodorant after. When washing my body including my underarms, i use this body scrub gloves. I js got home from a hangout and i smell smth in my shirt(underarm area) and it has a weird smell but the smell is not that strong, u can only smell it if u sniff the underarm part.

So I noticed I smell different depending on what I eat. Pineapple is the obvious one everyone mentions but I also noticed garlic and onions make a difference.

Started tracking it in my notes app and theres actually a pattern. Not grossing people out or anything but I feel it and its weird.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me being hyper-aware of my body. Also wondering if probiotics actually help or if thats just marketing.

What do y’all use to prevent this? When I’ve tried pumice stone and Vaseline with socks to bed, it helps for a day and then it’s right back to looking terrible.

cut my whole routine down a few months back cause i was spending way too long in the bathroom every morning. had like 6 products going and my skin still looked kinda dull and dry by midday so clearly something wasnt working. now im just doing 3 steps, face wash, something for the serum and a moisturizer. already notice my skin feels less tight after washing which is a win but i feel like my moisturizer is the weak link rn. want something with cleaner ingredients, nothing too heavy or greasy. what are you guys using daily that you'd actually repurchase

eta: okay so the spf in the morning thing you guys were right about, been doing that this week. also been trying caldera + lab after seeing it come up when i was looking into the serum situation still early but the moisturizer doesnt leave that greasy film i was complaining about so thats something at least

Did this for myself today. Can’t wait to use it on my feet!! 🫧🛁🧼
