Tips for a proper men's intimate hygiene

Do you take good care of your male intimate hygiene?

In many Western countries, male intimate hygiene is often limited to using toilet paper after using the toilet. However, if we analyze it closely, this "dry cleaning" is far from truly hygienic. Toilet paper barely removes the most obvious traces of feces, but it leaves behind bacteria and microorganisms that can cause unpleasant odors and other intimate health problems.

In other cultures, it is unthinkable not to wash the intimate area with water after a bowel movement, as they consider deeper and more respectful hygiene essential.

Can you imagine going on a special date and unexpectedly experiencing unpleasant odors in your private parts? Even if you have a steady partner, poor hygiene can cause discomfort or rejection.

And beyond the olfactory issue, insufficient cleanliness can also be behind annoying itching in the intimate area.

How to perform proper male intimate hygiene?

Whenever possible, we recommend washing your intimate area with water and suitable intimate soap after each bowel movement. Ideally, this should be done using a bidet, but if you don't have one, you can quickly use a shower or bathtub.

There are also toilets with a built-in water jet that make this step much easier.

The 5 key steps for good male intimate hygiene

1. Moisten your intimate area with water, either in the bidet, in the shower, or with an extra shower if you have one next to the toilet.
2. Use an intimate wash with a pH adapted to men. This is essential, as the pH of the male intimate area is different from that of women. Using non-specific products can disrupt the natural balance and cause irritation. Learn more in our articles on intimate hygiene.
3. Gently rub with your fingertips to remove dirt and rinse with plenty of water. Avoid using harsh sponges or rubbing vigorously to avoid micro-injuries. If you prefer, you can use a soft natural sponge.
4. Use sulfate-free products, like our natural intimate gel. Sulfates can be too harsh and cause irritation or itching, especially if you wash frequently.
5. Dry the area completely with a clean towel before getting dressed. Leaving moisture promotes the development of fungus in the intimate area.

And after washing? Take care of your skin with a specific men's intimate cream.

After a good hygiene routine, it's essential to keep your skin well hydrated and soothed. The male intimate area can suffer from irritation, dryness, or chafing due to sweat, exercise, or wearing tight clothing. Therefore, we recommend applying a men's intimate cream with soothing natural ingredients such as aloe vera, calendula, or chamomile.

Our new men's intimate cream is specially formulated for use after washing or waxing, and is perfect for daily use. It helps maintain comfort, prevent redness, soothe skin after shaving, or simply keep the intimate area in optimal condition.

Conclusion

A proper male intimate hygiene not only improves your feeling of cleanliness and well-being, but also prevents unpleasant odors, itching, and irritation. Using specific products such as intimate wash and a moisturizing cream for the male intimate area will help you keep your skin healthy and balanced.
