So I have balls and yeah they’re the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I’m in a hurry and I don’t smell much. That’s with working a job that’s usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn’t bathe every day. I didn’t notice much smell then.
Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What’s up?
Your balls start to smell first? Wonder why. Inadequate wiping? My armpits will start to go musky after about 4 days in the same clothes. That’s my first thing to go. 🤷♂️
Why the fuck are you wearing the same clothes for 4 fucking days? The only profession in which that is remotely acceptable is if you’re on the front fucking line of a warzone, fighting for your life.
Relax bud. I sit still most days. Web developer. Half the week I work from home. Usually wear the same clothes for about a week. Not socks or underwear though, change those almost every day. T-shirt normally change after 2-3 days. 👍 Shower about 2-3 times per week. I use Aleppo soap. It keeps you clean for much longer, too.
lol, so worked up about it, too. You okay?
The guy who suggested I don’t wipe my ass properly everyone!
Wow, you’re ganging up on me, too?
It wasn’t like I was accusing you, I was just curious.

I was not talking to you. Go away, troll. Go back to Reddit. Blocked.
As someone who also works from home as a software Dev, shower more often and change shirts more often. You stink.
Another one who can’t grasp the fact that bodies are different. I expected more from a fellow dev. Shame. 🫤
You do realize I shower more often than 4 days, right? That’s what I’ve been saying all over this thread, that after 4 days is when I do start to stink a little bit. 👍
Nah breh ive worked with people like you too often. Theres always one on the team that fuckin stinks because they think “bodies are different”. Thank god I work remote so I never have to sit by people like you ever again.
Keep talking to me like you’ve met me before…
I don’t stink. I shower way before I start to stink. I told you, all of you, I start to stink a little bit at day 4, but I shower about every other day, at the gym twice a week and at home during the weekend. It all amounts to no hygiene issues. I am also very thorough with my junk after peeing and no. 2. I wipe with paper and wash with water if I can’t get it perfectly clean. You don’t know shit about my hygiene so leave me alone. Prejudiced jerk.
The other dude might’ve overreacted, but you gotta change your clothes every day. If you wait until you start noticing you stink, everyone else around you noticed days ago.
No I don’t, every day would be insane. We’d be running the washer non-stop if everyone in the family did that. I am very aware of my smell, I check it every day, and my wife will let me know if I start smelling (at which point I already know way before her anyway, but just didn’t have time or energy to shower yet (two kids after all)).
People are overreacting about this, holy hell. Folks, everyone’s chemistry can be different. Everyone’s energy expenditure and temperature during the day can be different. I am not you. I don’t sweat much or start to smell at all during the week, unless I don’t change my clothes or shower for about 4 days. But I do change my clothes and shower more often than that. So there’s no problem here for anyone to fix(!).
I appreciate everyone’s concern and everything but please get off my back now lol.
Edit: people down voting because they’re jealous of my easy hygiene? Or what is going on? I’m just lucky in combination with some good hygiene routine choices. That’s it.
You actually don’t. Or your wife is accustomed to your smell too, which is probably the case.
I can tell before her, because I’ll say I stink and she won’t agree. I’ve also asked my mother if she thinks I ever smell bad – never (as an adult), she says. I asked her because she asked me, as well, for this very reason (being too accustomed to your own smell, as she lives alone). She doesn’t smell either, and uses no products when she showers, just her own natural ingredients soap mix. It might be genetic, that we don’t produce much odour. I don’t f-ing know lol. All I know is my own situation, and everyone here seems to think we are all the same and alike, but humans are very different sometimes. Deal with it.

You guys are wiping your balls? You must suck at shitting
You don’t stand on all fours while shitting? No wonder your balls aren’t getting a share of that shit.
After 4 days
My guys, you should get that smell test sanity checked
You don’t produce as much oil when you shower less which is what the smelliest bacteria consume.
Exactly. I started showering less often but with more naturally oily soaps (Aleppo soap mainly) and I don’t need to shower as often since a few years back now. Feels much better. Less stress, better hygiene, no such problems, no itching anywhere, no nothing.
Must not live in a very humid area, 4 days wouldn’t fly here for anyone that goes outside at all
Humid or or not I find 4 is doable but 3 is more ideal but only if I don’t do any strenuous activity. If I do then I pretty much like to shower it all off.
And this is exactly what is happening with me. I don’t actually wait until 4 days, because if I do I start to smell. People in this thread are confused about that and down voting according to their confusion lol.
I actually do sunday and wednesday nights so go the four but its the end of the weekend when I can sorta afford it. Its not like I stink to high heaven. I can just sorta tell that really 3 is the sweet spot.
Exactly the same for me. 👍 Apart from the days of the week. 🙂
I can tell when I do smell. I can also sense my deodorant until I start to smell. So nothing wrong with my sense of smell. It’s actually quite sensitive. I’m just very clean, I suppose. I don’t sweat much when I move a lot. 🤷♂️
My momma always said when you first smell yourself, other people have been smelling you for two days.

I’m 40 years old and my balls are quite long. Different body bacteria maybe? I shower after I shit so it’s got nothing to do with wiping.
Like, a bidet? Or a full-blown no-clothes shower?
Yeah…tell us. Do you take your clothes off? Describe it. Like, slow. In a whisper.
I uh… slip my pants down and uhh.
Nah I am very regular and it’s rare for me not to take a FULLY NAKED FULL BODY shower shortly after I shit.
Nice.
^That ^was ^all ^I ^needed.
Well “regular” is relative. And you don’t sound regular. You sound very ir -regular. In that it’s normal for you to shower after you shit. (Jk I knew what you meant).
Why don’t you get a bidet? You’d save so much water.
Research 😏
Yeah, measure how long your balls are and share
Depends, in all honesty. Temperature and how late I am into exercise e.g. Anywhere from 3-7 cm maybe?
That must be weird at work, or do you leave and come back?
If I have to shit at work I must be sick. I haven’t shit at work in years. I shit once a day in the morning. I eat a lot of fiber.
Wow. I’m envious. I shit like three-four times a day (morning after waking up, possibly after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner). And I don’t eat a lot of fiber. 😭 At least it’s a proper texture, otherwise my asshole would be in trouble.
😂 bro, didn’t even think about that. They probably don’t, eh.
Edit: I meant they probably don’t poo at work. Not that they don’t work.
I have a really good sense of smell; trust me, you smell after one day and just can’t smell it yourself until day four. I’m sorry if this comes as a surprise.
Asked my friend today if I smell, a day after I showered. And I did some pretty rigorous activities today as well. They agreed to smell me, but said I don’t smell.
What now? Trust your smell, when you have never smelled me? You’re just as full of shit as everyone in this thread replying to me. Not because I’m saying you don’t have a good sense of smell. I bet you do, and I bet you can smell people who do smell bad. But I don’t smell bad. Deal with it. I’m really starting to think it’s a jealousy thing here. People can’t accept that I have good hygiene for some absolutely fucking absurd reason.
