Most of us guys care dearly about the delicate kielbasa between our legs, but apparently, many of us seldom perform the comprehensive cleaning it deserves (which might explain why five percent of men are still hosing down their junk with cologne). This, of course, is how we...
For many of us, “snow” isn’t just this weird thing that happens in the winter, or a predictable thing that goes on in the men’s room at a Miami nightclub — it’s more of an evergreen phenomenon, and it’s happening on our heads. I’m talking about the...
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...
Common sense (and every coronavirus prevention method ever) holds that regular hand-washing is a simple way to prevent the transmission of disease. The impact is so dramatic, several government agencies have published comprehensive hand-washing guides — douse your hands, administer soap, lather the backs, get between your...
Many of us have considered sprinting for the shower without wiping on days we’re running late (or out of toilet paper). But is that actually a viable option? According to Dr. Anish Sheth of the American Gastroenterology Association and the American College of Gastroenterology, it’s more than...
Cologne is not deodorant. You know this, and yet you — be honest — have at some point probably committed the unspeakable crime of trying to use cologne to get away with not taking a shower. Let’s take a look at why that really, really didn’t work...

After a hard, stressful day, having a long soak in a bathtub can be incredibly relaxing. Unless you do it wrong. There aren’t a lot of ways to mess up a bath, but if you make the mistake of staying too long in a bath that’s too...
When rashes, blisters and sores force us to consider the kinds of microscopic critters hitching a ride on our bodies (and frequently giving us some sort of skin infection), we likely think about bacteria, or in the nastiest cases, some type of virus. And no wonder: Infections...
The bathroom is the most used room in your home, which is why its contents can quickly become overused. Did you know, for example, that the average toothbrush contains 10 million bacteria or more? Likewise, bathroom floors have been shown to be one of the most contaminated...
