It’s a sad fact, but most guys with a male organ odor problem aren’t aware of it. Since a dude’s olfactory sensors don’t really come in contact with their own manhood (except in cases where a guy is extremely flexible), a stench has to be especially strong for a man to notice it. And since even some guys who practice really great male organ care still get male organ odor, it’s best for most guys to assume this could be an issue for them and act accordingly. That includes basic male organ hygiene, but it also includes looking at environmental factors in his home.

Male organ hygiene

The male organ hygiene part is fairly straightforward. The number one way to diminish an odor issue is to make sure a guy washes the manhood regularly and thoroughly. (For intact men, this includes washing underneath the hood as well.) Using a reliable male organ health crème is also highly recommended.

But once the member has been washed, what else does a guy need to do? It helps to take a look around his home, especially if he is a bachelor living on his own (or with other bachelors).

Laundry

Start with surveying the wardrobe situation. Many guys tend to wear the same pants several days running; some guys even wear the same underwear multiple times before washing. It’s only common sense that this is not conducive to having a member that smells springtime fresh. Underwear should be worn for one day before washing – period. (And hopefully it goes without saying that a dude shouldn’t borrow underwear from his roommates.) There’s a little more leeway with pants, but two or three times without washing is really the maximum.

Bedding

Lots of guys like to sleep bare in their home – and this can actually be a big plus where fighting male organ odor is concerned. Airing the manhood out for a few hours every day can be a tremendous way to decrease odor, so sleeping in the buff is encouraged.

That said, the benefits of sleeping bare will be impacted if bedding isn’t kept fresh. Dirt, sweat and bacteria from the body accumulate in sheets, comforters and blankets. These create an odor situation that the bare member soaks up during its eight hours in bed each night. Sheets and blankets should be changed at least weekly, and comforters should be washed or laundered at least monthly. And during the summer, when guys tend to sweat even more, a greater frequency is desired.

Towels

The member is nice and clean and odor-free when it leaves a good shower – but what happens if it’s dried with a towel that’s been used every day for the last two weeks? Changing towels regularly – at least weekly – is essential. And again, don’t use a towel which a buddy has used (unless it has been washed). Sharing towels not only spreads odors but can potentially spread things like jock itch or athlete’s foot fungus.

Fighting male organ odor requires some degree of dedication, but working at home to keep male organ odor at bay has definite benefits. As mentioned earlier, daily application of a superior male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) should be part of the male organ odor battle plan. It’s best to find a crème that includes vitamin A for this purpose. Also known as retinol, vitamin A is a natural antibacterial agent that seeks out odor-causing bacteria that lives in the warmth and moistness of the manhood area. In addition, be sure the crème also includes vitamin D. This so-called “miracle vitamin” helps fight disease and a healthier member is a member less prone to stubborn odors.
