Nothing says, “Adios” to romance like a smelly member. Having a member that smells worse than Limburger can not only burn your nostrils but also can put the brakes on any potential intimacy. Many things can cause male organ odor, but usually the cause includes some combination of dead skin cells, debris, sweat, and leftover bodily fluids. Trap all that in pubic hair and tighty whiteys, and you get a pretty rank-smelling package. But fear not! There are many ways to make sure a smelly member doesn't plague you. Take 1 or more of these 7 tips for preventing male organ odor.

Tip #1: Good Grooming

The easiest way to keep a smelly member at bay is to engage in a thorough but straightforward daily grooming regimen. Use warm water and a mild cleanser to wash the midsection. Be sure to get into every crease and crevice, gently pulling back the prepuce and washing well. Rinse fully and air dry if possible. If it’s too chilly or you’re in a hurry, pat dry with a warm, soft towel. This ritual should be repeated daily, or more often in the case of sensual or athletic activities.

Tip #2: Fix the Funk

If a smelly member is lurking, inspect the area for smegma. This foul, off-white, chunky discharge can really stink up the joint. It can be anywhere, but it especially loves to nestle into the prepuce. Left there too long, it will cause not only a smelly member, but also infection and inflammation. To get rid of smegma, wash the area thoroughly and rinse well. Repeat until gone.

Tip #3: Take a Powder

Before stepping into your skivvies, dust a little powder on the member and sack. The powder absorbs wetness and odors. It also makes the skin feel silky and refreshing. Like all things, try for the most natural product possible. Also, be sure to wash your hands before getting dressed, or you'll have white handprints all over your workday best.

Tip #4: Wipe It

When things get hot and moist, tame the tang by swiping a wipe on your junk. Using a natural wipe, baby or otherwise, is a great way to freshen up and reduce male organ odor. It also just feels nice. Tuck single-use wipes in your pocket, work bag, or desk drawer to get a nice pick-me-up and invigorate the area, while preventing male organ odor.

Tip #5: Trim the Hedges

Hair protects the member, but it also catches everything that comes near it, like bodily fluids, sweat, dirt, and more. These not-so-appetizing combinations can lead to a pretty intense stench. Giving the area a nice trim reduces how much can be snared and smelly later. Also, a little trim makes the trunk look bigger, so double bonus for you!

Tip #6: Go Commando

An easy tip to incorporate means going to bed with less. Less on your body, that is. The midsection is a damp, dark place that breeds bacteria and stink. By sleeping in the buff and letting it all hang out, it gives the area some much-needed ventilation. This also reduces moisture and brings balance to the area.

Tip #7: Take the Extra Step

If you’re serious about keeping a smelly member away, use a specially formulated male organ health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to refresh the skin and ward off bacteria. Look for an oil that includes vitamins C and D to rejuvenate skin and promote cell turnover, which helps the body shed old skin along with other fluids, bacteria, and debris for the freshest skin possible.
