HOW TO KEEP YOUR PRIVATES PRISTINE

New ways to keep your ‘twig and berries’ smelling fresh

It was bound to happen. As men’s focus on hygiene continues to grow, it was only a matter of time until their nether regions attracted more attention. And while manscaping has become de rigueur, many are taking it one step further to ensure freshness "down there," too.

After a long day of work or a vigorous workout, your genitals can grow musty and malodourous. You’ve heard the term “swampy”, no doubt? As a result, groin deodorants, designed to prevent odor around the groin region, have exploded in popularity especially by active men and those who want to please their partners who go down on them.

There are dozens to chose from in a variety of forms such as powders, roll-ons and creams in an assortment of scents. Some of our favorites –all allergy and dermatologist tested – include:

Anthony No Sweat Body Defense Deodorant for Men – This award-winning cream-to-powder formula rubs on like a lotion, cools and soothes. Contains no talcum powder, parabens or phthalates.

Super Fresh Man Parts Ball Deodorant for Men – This lotion goes on smooth and keeps things fresh, so you don't have to worry about odor, stickiness and “swamp” crotch.

Lume Deodorant Cream – This cream has been clinically-proven to control 100% of body odor all day and continues for 72 hours. Available in eight scents.

Manscaped Anti-chafing Ball Deodorant features aloe vera and is specifically formulated for below-the-waist use. The vegan formula is also aluminum, cruelty, paraben and dye free.

Keep in mind, a groin deodorant will mask odor, but it won’t prevent bacteria, moisture, or a rash. Only thoroughly drying this region after showering will help reduce the potential for these conditions.

At the Inevitable Gentleman, we advocate personal discretion. If you shower daily and dry off conscientiously, your groin area should not need a daily deodorant. That being said, if you’re planning to engage in sex at the end of a long day, it wouldn’t hurt to freshen up. Your partner will thank you.
