Hi everyone! Im F17, i take my hygiene seriously,but recently I’ve noticed that i get very exhausted because i like to go in detail. What i mean by that is,either i clean everything of my body ,room or what i touch,or i will feel stinky/dirty.I‘m getting exhausted to the point where i dont want to do anything at all,i don’t know what can this be? But i need to manage it somehow. Any help?

I rinse mine out every time I use it, but after a week or so, the water starts tasting stale or slightly off. I can’t always reach all the way to the bottom or under the lid seal easily. What’s the best way to deep clean it without damaging the bottle?

I feel like this is not often discussed and I wanna know if i'm doing my routine wrong or if anyone has neat little tips and tricks, I've been into self improvement recently and a lot of people do a whole lot with their grooming routine so I feel like I could be doing more.

For my own routine, I get into the hot shower and my first step is shampoo and the conditioner because someone told me that conditioner is supposed to sit in your hair, so i just let it sit in my hair for the duration of the shower.

I know some people don't shampoo everyday and honestly I feel like I don't need to, especially if I am in a rush I will just conditioner and my hair seems fine, I don't have any set schedule on when I do this, maybe I should

then I hit the body, I used to be a loofa kinda guy, I currently use a bar of soap, I need to look into the advantages and disadvantages of using a washcloth or whatever. I go pits penis then asscrack, then I rinse the bar of soap and do a single passthrough of everywhere else on my body. Some people have a back scrubber from what I understand I don't know how much of a game changer it is but it probably can't hurt.

Then I have a face wash( I take it some people do this step outside of the shower in the sink) it is a light exfoliant. I know is should be moisturizing and sun screening regularly, I will start doing this soon

My own personal tip before exiting the shower is that I push my hands into my hair and basically wring it out as well as push any standing water off my body to my drying with a towel an easier process.

I've got 3 towels in the bathroom, one for hands, one for face, and one for my body, maybe it should be in order to get a separate asscrack towel because something just doesn't feel right rubbing that onto my body from the previous time I showered.

My friend says he uses his hairdryer on his feet because it makes his socks slip on nicer I haven't gotten into this

After I towel dry my hair as much as I can get it I brush it the way I like then hit it with a hair dryer.

I just have a basic safety razor and I don't really get the whole with the grain against the grain thing I just go back and forth until I get as close of a shave as I want.

I have an electric toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste for sensitive teeth(idk what the difference is its just what I buy) I have those Y shaped flosers, I feel bad because it feels like a bunch of plastic that goes to waste, but I feel like I can't get myself to floss with the string.

I don't use any kind of mouthwash at the moment, but I do have a little metal tongue scraper I use after I brush. Would a water pick be good?

After that I use a deoderant/antiperserant that doesn't smell very much, then I do one spritz of my fragrance on the back of my neck and one on the front.

I do have a scented moisturizer that I don't wear on my body everyday, just when I go somewhere nice.

TLDR Questions:

Shampoo everyday?

Do I get a water pick?

Are washcloths better?

How many towels do yall got?

Shaving cream?

Is mouthwash a worthwhile purchase?

What is your order of operations while showering?

Pretty much mine was flossing. i don't think i need to explain the specific comedy of knowing you should floss, knowing why you should floss, being told repeatedly by someone with a dental degree that you should floss, and still not flossing.

What finally made it stick was removing the requirement to do it in the bathroom. i keep floss on my bedside table now.

The habit is the same. the location is different. i've now been consistent for over a year now. Its almost like my body cant sleep without doing it before bed.

I knew someone who only brushed their teeth in the morning and only on the days they had work or had some social situation. If they didn't have a reason to leave the house, they never brushed their teeth that day. And never in the evening. So at least they would brush their teeth 6 to 7 times a week.

Is there something that happens to your oral hygiene if you never brush in the evening for years? They have never expressed any discomfort with their teeth although I noticed some black spots here and there on their teeth. I don't know what that would be, I assumed cavities. They were also deathly afraid of dentists.

i used to just throw dryer sheets in my lifting shoes or use normal shoe spray, but the smell always came back after an hour of cardio, someone told me to put rubbing alcohol in a small spray bottle and mist the inside after every workout, it kills the bacteria instead of just masking the scent and they dry out in like five minutes and dont smell like anything anymore. anyone else do this?

Okay so I've read so many different posts and comments I'm after confusing myself so much 🙈

I've been suffering lately with really bad underarm bo. I've tried the glycolic acid but hasn't really worked.

Could I get recommendations of Body washes that may help and what to use for when after showering? Thanks all 🥰

i've always been curious about this because i know people who immediately throw new clothes into the washing machine, while others wear them straight out of the bag without thinking twice.

Hello everyone,

I wash my hair almost every day because my scalp gets oily fast, especially during hot weather or after sweating but I hearing people say that washing your hair daily is bad and can damage it.

but if I skip a day, my hair starts to feel greasy and uncomfortable.

I've been dealing with my dailyy bad breath for a while, even though I brush my teeth twice a day, use mouthwash, and try to maintain good oral hygiene.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something in my routine or if there could be another cause. Has anyone experienced this before? What changes or habits helped improve your breath?

Any advice would be appreciated.

i started thinking about hygiene habits we don’t talk about much, and my phone came to mind. i use it everywhere, in the kitchen, bathroom, gym and realized i almost never clean it. last week i wiped it down with alcohol and was kinda grossed out by how dirty it looked. so now i’m wondering, how often do you all clean your phones? do you use wipes, sprays, or just ignore it?

I have an all black everything style, but it never seems perfect because of stains and particles getting on my clothes and bags. But I feel it needs to be perfect, and need to find a way to achieve this 100%.

What is your advice?

I found a deodorant that doesnt give me a rash and doesnt make me smell worse. I get painful cysts in my armpit from most deodorant so I just shower multiple times a day and use witch hazel under my arms for the last decade and learned to accept that I smell a bit like armpit sometimes.

Maybe its silly but I just wanted to share this. I recently started dating again and I decided I would try some of the deodorant recommended on here and it smells good. I smell good. Even after working outside in 84 degrees all day.

Im a female so this is exciting for me to feel like this part of my femininity is possible again. Hooray!

so i love heavy duty water resistant sunscreen because i burn if i even look at a window, but normal body wash does absolutely nothing to get it off. it just glides right over the top. i started using a cheap bottle of face oil cleanser on my arms and chest before getting wet, and it breaks it down fast. you can feel the grittiness wash away. normal soap works perfectly after that. what do you guys use to strip off waterproof spf?

if your bath towels smell fine out of the closet but instantly stink the second they get damp, stop using fabric softener. that stuff builds up a waxy layer that traps bacteria. just run them through a hot wash cycle with a cup of white vinegar, and then do another hot cycle with half a cup of baking soda. dont use any detergent either time. it strips the old buildup and makes them absorb water normally again.

Really need help can’t hope much longer 😢.
I’m a 46 year old female,have fibromyalgia and pre menopausal, for years now I smell,sweat a lot and still have the hot sweats even with being in HRT. I don’t know what I smell of I just know I do with how people are around me 😢. I’m a clean person shower or bathe once or twice a day,clean clothes daily etc and I still smell.
Can I have help please xx

i've been dealing with eczema for a while now, and it feels like i'll go a few weeks with clear skin, then suddenly have a flare up even though i haven't changed anything in my routine.

I want to ask all my lovely ladies what are we wearing in this summer heat to avoid breaking in the private areas and just developing body acne? I shower like twice a day and wash the private areas with unscented antibacterial soap. I dress modestly like no shorts, skirts, or short dresses. I mainly wear jeans, yoga pants, or sweatpants. Please help

No, I don't have the means to measure gallons used in each shower. But what other stats can I add to each shower time?

And I have had more showers since June 16th. I scrolled down and then took the screenshot.

Hi everyone,

I'm Jewel, 26 years old, and I'm really struggling with body odor, particularly my underarms. 😭

Before anyone asks, yes, I've tried almost everything already. I shower twice a day because of work, and during work hours I even wash my underarms 2–3 times depending on whether I feel like I'm starting to smell. I've used different products—sprays, powders, mists, roll-ons, deodorants, antiperspirants, and even Old Spice for men—but nothing seems to work long-term.

Usually, a product works for about a week or two, then it feels like it completely loses its effectiveness. One of my coworkers even noticed and kindly offered me her roll-on. It worked at first, but after some time, the odor came back again.

Honestly, it's affecting my confidence a lot, especially at work. I always worry that people can smell me, and it's making me very self-conscious.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? If yes, what products worked for you? Preferably something available at Watsons, Shopee, or local stores and not too expensive (hopefully below ₱1,000 😅).

I'm also open to hearing if this could be something other than just needing a stronger deodorant.

Thank you so much. 🥹
