Kings, get in here let's talk about personal cleanliness for guys. You see, there's this widely held notion that "real men" do not waste their time with cleanliness but that's a big BS. Every reasonable adult should be concerned about their personal hygiene. If you can't take care of your body, how can you take care of anyone or anything else?


Taking care of yourself has too many benefits. You live a more healthy life; have more self confidence and of course stand an improved chance of getting a partner *wink wink*.

Fair enough, it neither costs much fortune nor time to take care of your body as a man. You only need the desire and need-to and you're good to go.

Below are a few tips, which is by no means exhaustive:

1. Cut your toe nails and finger nails. The nails often hide dirts and you swallow most times with same nails. During "inter-house sports", you will also insert this germ-laden fingers into someone's daughter. It's different if you've done special nails you're growing, in which case you will/take take extra care of them. 2-4 weeks is OK depending on how fast your nails grow.

2. Shave your armpits. Hairier armpits tend to trap more sweat and dirt, often leaving more odor and the ever-annoying brown "Map of Africa" stain under your shirts armpits.

3. Use products like deodorants, body sprays, perfume or roll on. They make you smell better. Doesn't have to cost an arm. Some go for as low as N700 and can last a month plus.

4. Rinse your mouth with water after eating. Eat a bubble gum or mint if you've not talked for a while and you feel your mouth getting musty. 75% of your brushing time should be spent on the tongue, because it's the major cause of halitosis.

5. Wash your socks at least once every two weeks if you wear them daily. Polish your shoes properly and always keep them in airy places to avoid damp and odor.

6. Bath at least twice daily.

7. One boxers per day.

8. Shave your pubic hairs, including under the scrotum. Also ensure to always run a sponge properly around there when bathing.

9. Finally, wash your towels once in a while. Wash and iron your cloths properly. Hang a shirt out in the sun or in an airy place if you want to wear it again without washing. Use more of undershirts than singlets as inner wear because they trap more sweat and provide more cover for your shirts.


Stop clean, Kings. Stay sparkling.

"At least...."

Besides, I worked under intense air conditioner so I rarely sweat.

Okay. But you can sun-dry in between.
