It’s a sad fact, but most guys with a penis odor problem aren’t aware of it. Since a dude’s olfactory sensors don’t really come in contact with their own penis (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 penis care still get penis odor, it’s best for most guys to assume this could be an issue for them and act accordingly. That includes basic penis hygiene, but it also includes looking at environmental factors in his home.

Penis hygiene

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

But once the penis 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 penis 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 naked in their home – and this can actually be a big plus where fighting penis odor is concerned. Airing the penis 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 penis 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 penis 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 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 penis odor requires some degree of dedication, but working at home to keep penis odor at bay has definite benefits. As mentioned earlier, daily application of a superior penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) should be part of the penis 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 penis area. In addition, be sure the crème also includes vitamin D. This so-called “miracle vitamin” helps fight disease and a healthier penis is a penis less prone to stubborn odors.
