Ryan W. loves to blow himself. He got hooked 10 years ago, after a fateful shower and a towel that failed to do its job. He was already blow-drying his hair — hey, it’s just more efficient — when he felt the rest of his body was,...
There you are, hard at work on a padded desk chair located in an office building that feels like a frozen tundra. The day has been unremarkable up until now, except for the ongoing battle about the office being too damn cold. Then you receive a stern Slack from...
For heavy sweaters, life stinks. Constantly worried that they smell bad, are offending others with their moisture or even sabotaging their own job interviews, being relentlessly sweaty is a tough way to live. We talked to three guys who suffer from what’s known as hyperhidrosis to see just how tough. Jake...
For some, having sweaty hands is a minor inconvenience. For others, having sweaty hands is a life sentence — one that involves constant humiliation, isolation and condemnation.

Compared to adults, children are basically aliens. They speak in tongues, engage in unimaginable rituals and have an endlessly particular set of needs. Because of this — and perhaps just as commonly, because of parental paranoia about this — all kinds of things are available in child-friendly versions, just in case...
