Pubes get more attention than ever in the modern world. More and more dudes are sculpting them with some simply shaving them off in their entirety. But is that actually recommended? And why have we even got the short, curly little blighters in the first place? Let’s...
I once believed that vigorously brushing my teeth for long periods of time kept them extra-clean: I was wrong, and my dentist was furious. Overly-thorough brushing, it turns out, isn’t only unnecessary—gentle scrubbing for two or three minutes at a time is more than enough to remove...
Bathing a pet is almost always an unpleasant experience for both parties. The animals we often keep around tend to have an aversion to being forced into porcelain prisons and subsequently drenched with water, so washing them can prompt a spirited freakout that inevitably results in pet...
Sex has the potential to be astonishingly dirty, and while I mean that figuratively, I also mean that quite literally. Look, fervently bumping bodies involves producing and swapping a hodgepodge of bodily fluids that inevitably linger around your nethers until the next shower. Which, for many, has...
Some say having soft skin is a sign of emasculated weakness. And to those people, I say: Put on some freaking moisturiser! Your skin looks like a piece of beef jerky old enough to have watched the dinosaurs eat a giant asteroid! Okay, so I may have...
As you may have noticed, Dollar Shave Club sells a handily bundled collection of grooming tools in our Tool Kit, and I would very much like you to buy them so I can remain employed and continue to feed my dog the good stuff. Oh, and also...
We’ve written before about how the average toothbrush is believed to be harbouring more than 10 million bacteria, including particularly nasty stuff like Staph and E. coli. This is partly due to the number of bacteria that live in your mouth—anywhere between 100 to 200 different species—but...
People are so bad at wiping their butts, doctors have coined a condition to mock them for it. It’s called PAS, or “polished anus syndrome,” and it comes from, in part, our abysmal bathroom hygiene. After doing our business, we take dry, rough toilet paper and smear...
We’re all pretty set in our own oral care routines. Some of us brush our teeth before breakfast; others would argue that brushing after is the way to go. In the scramble to just get ourselves together and out the front door, most of us don’t think...
Maybe you don’t pee in the shower. But if you do, know this: peeing in the shower really isn’t as gross as it’s made out to be. For starters, it’s more hygienic than peeing in a toilet, which results in a significant amount of splashback—on your jeans,...
The human body: A work of art, a wonder of nature, a miracle of perfect engineering. Also, a revolting sack of churning goo and miscellaneous stench. Yes, even people with perfect bodies are susceptible to all the various gross forms of body odour that plague us regular...
A trip to the gym can make you feel really good about yourself. You feel stretched out, you feel energised, you feel healthy… wait, did we say healthy? Scrub that one — until you’ve scrubbed your gym bag, at least. Despite how neat and clean a person...
