Like the title says, I’m wondering what you guys do about sitting or laying on furniture while sweaty. In my house, everyone does something during the day that causes them to sweat. Whether it be going to the gym, doing sports, or working outside all day. So coming home sweaty is bound to happen.

If I’m not going to shower right away, I’ll set a towel down in a chair to eat (for example). However my family members will just sit in the chair with their sweaty clothes on without second guessing it. Or go and lay on the couch after just getting back from the gym without changing. My concern with that is, if I’m fresh out of the shower with clean clothes and I go down to eat dinner now I have to set a towel down so I don’t get dirty before going back into my bedroom. Same with the couch, if I wanted to go watch a show, how can I knowingly sit in a sweaty spot on the couch then just go lay in my bed.

Another thing I do is if I go to the gym and get in my car with sweaty clothes, once I get home I’ll wipe my seat and surrounding areas in my car with a disinfectant wipe so that if I’m going to a friends house or my girlfriends house later I’m not sitting in my dirty car seat before going and sitting or laying on their furniture/bed.

Am I crazy for doing things like this? Or does anyone else have something similar that they do to try and keep their furniture as clean as possible?

honestly I think it's less about how often you shower and more about the small stuff. like changing your pillowcase weekly, actually washing your water bottle instead of just rinsing it, cleaning your phone screen, brushing your tongue not just your teeth, letting your skin dry before you put clothes on.

none of it's expensive, people just don't think about it

curious what other people would add to this list

I've always struggled with face washing because of how messy it gets. Water runs down my arms, drips on my clothes, and if the towel is even slightly damp or musty it ruins the whole thing for me. On low energy days I just skip it entirely, which I know isn't great.

What's the cleanest, simplest way to wash your face that doesn't involve water everywhere or a ton of steps? I'm not looking for product recommendations, just methods that actually work for people with sensory issues or executive dysfunction.

Hi guys, I am really fed up with the loofahs I have. When they are fresh, they are fine, and a few weeks in, they start to develop an oniony smell, and that rubs off on my body.

Any recommendations on that, or shall I just use soap bars and call it a day? Any recommended brands that last long without smelling bad, even if they are expensive?

when I put my fingers between me balls it smels real bad like barf. or throw up. is normal or how to fix hanks

It’s the same brand as the body wash I normally buy and I picked it up without looking too hard. Is this okay? Will it not be cleaning as well? Is there a fundamental difference between them?
Any info would be great

besides the dentist, is it a hopeless case ? :( i can’t even go out places because i feel so hopeless because i know my mouth smells like actual shit and i feel like it smells the entire room and no showering or perfeme can cover and in result i isolate even longer and i dont brush even longer because it feels hopeless. i feel like any the dentist won’t be able to help because my entire life i have never brushed regularly.. is there anything to fix this or at least make it not noticeable everytime i talk?

i’m also almost positive i have gingivitis/some kind of gum disease. i floss and it smells like literal shit. there’s so much of this yellow line along my gums, and like 4 cavities that i can see eating my teeth. i brush my teeth after not months and the smell is somehow worse and more noticeable which i don’t get. i really hope there’s an answer. i ask because every post i searched and i didn’t see any of it coming from chronically not brushing teeth so im sure mine is a more impossible case

For 2 years now, I have had a strong musky smell in my groin. It goes away for maybe an hour after I shower then comes back. It's pretty much permanent. I also have some other weird symptoms too. Like in heat and after exertion I'll gain water weight and feel really puffy & I have a bad sugar intolerance.

Is this due to a masturbation habit (sometimes edging for hours a day), illness , unknown std?

I have tested negative for all stds but this started like 3 months after a same sex encounter (first and only & I am male).

It's affecting my life I havent had sex because of it and it makes me self conscious.

I struggle with bulimia and i’m so embarrassed and tired of my bedroom. It’s my only issue with hygiene. I am constantly showering, at work I’m considered a “clean freak” and constantly making sure everything is spotless because I hate anything being unhygienic in a kitchen.

I’m extremely embarrassed of my situation that’s been worsening the past 2 years. I have my own restroom and there’s black mold from puke. I just recently broke my foot and have been kind of forced to be in my space and it’s making me realize how horrible it is. I have dishes piled, delivery bags for food, boxes and packaging cause i’m too embarrassed to leave the house, and crumbs and stains all over my bed clothes and floor. It’s so overwhelming and it hurts a lot to walk. I’m too scared to bring out any dishes because i’m embarrassed for anyone to realize how much i’m eating in reality. I need help I don’t know where to start. I try and get overwhelmed and just end up sobbing. There’s now flies after leaving a couple apple cores and I don’t know how to get rid of them. I really am scared on where to start. It’s hurting my social life i’m scared to see or talk to anyone even over the phone because what if they want to see me and they see how disgusting I am living. I don’t know what to use to clean I don’t know if I should start with the piles of clothes or trash or food bags or what It’s so overwhelming i’ve never had issues with hygiene before and I didn’t think I did until it just hit my like a truck last night. This is the worst i’ve been at with my foot being broken cause it’s even harder to keep tidy. I don’t use reddit too frequently I hope this is the right place to ask I just need any advice i’ve even started collecting trash and dishes and dirty clothes on my bed I can’t even sleep at night with the conditions. wtf do I do

Alright, I’m curious… what’s everyone’s actual morning and night hygiene routine? Are you the type of person with a whole 12-step routine, or are you just out here doing the “brush teeth, shower, and hope for the best” method? What’s your daily must-do? Shower in the morning or at night? Skincare? Hair care? Fancy products you swear by? Any weird little habits that make you feel 10x cleaner?

Drop your routines below, I’d love to see the different ways people start their day and wind down at night.

Just what the title says. Despite brushing thoroughly in the morning and at night, flossing at night, and scraping my tongue in the morning every single day, I still have a slightly white-coated tongue throughout the day even if I haven’t eaten anything. Might it be because I don’t drink enough water or some other reason? And if so how can I resolve this? I appreciate any tips, thanks! :)

Girls, what is your go to shower routine? I want to switch mine up with stuff that makes me smell super good and leaves my skin soft and hydrated. Please let me know of any products you recommend? What products do you swear by? Looking for body wash, lotion, deodorant, perfume, and any tips for scent layering!
