You guys met. You fell in love. Truly, deeply, madly. You rushed to get engaged. You started living together. Everything was picture perfect – till the moment a week passed, and she realized she needs to prod you multiple times to go take a shower and/or you realized she throws her fallen hair all around the house. Not a pretty picture at all, right? On top of it imagine living with this person for the rest of your life! The shudder you gave right now has the potential to break your relationship, if not addressed immediately. So before you reach that stage, let us talk about the basics of personal hygiene that one must follow in order to not gross out the partner.
1. Smelling or stinking?
There is a huge difference between the two, and yes, body odor is an important factor of personal hygiene. If you love her, it would be your duty to keep bad body odor at a distance and do everything you can to maintain a heavenly smell, that would automatically make her run for you even from a mile away! Where to start? Well, firstly, take regular baths, twice a day even, if possible! Invest in good body wash products, and watch your post-shower routine at home change, if you know what I mean! Change out of your sweaty clothes as soon as you return from gym or office. Also cut back on alcohol and spicy food.
2. They need regular attention – your beard and hair!
No matter how much she says she loves ruffling your hair, chances are yes, she does love it, but not when you are growing a nest on your head or chin. Go for a haircut every month or according to your needs, also do not be lazy and skip on trimming that beard. Invest in some good beard and hair care products, you will be rewarded in the form of increased attention from your partner surely!
3. Breathing still? Ensure it isn’t rotten!
This is a huge issue that remains unaddressed since nobody wants to be the first person to break it to you. To ensure nobody gets a chance in very first place. Drink plenty of water and do not stay empty-stomached. These are two major ways of ensuring you do not have bad breath. Also, strengthen your brushing and flossing routine. Chances are you would be spending a lot of intimate time with each other. So you need to be able to sit there, and not want to bolt away in spite of all the love you have for each other!
4. Nails – Yes, they matter.
Unkept and dirty nails are a huge turn-off. Especially since your hands would be visiting your partner in different ways and at different times, for different purposes. To ensure that you maintain them precious nails! Keep a hand sanitizer handy as well.
5. Ears – yes, they need attention too.
One of the most neglected portions of our body when it comes to cleanliness is our ears. Daily, during taking a bath, ensure you clean them properly. More for yourself, rather than her. Also to avoid germs from accumulating there, leading to her shouting out your name more than once lest you are unable to hear!
6. Foot care is important to care.
Wash your feet, especially in between the fingers while having a bath. Wear the right socks, and avoid wearing tight shoes. Also change them often, to avoid being called the man with smelly feet! The song “Smelly cat” could soon be rephrased to “Smelly feet” featuring you! So, take some foot care!
7. This one goes without saying. . .
Taking care, good care of your genitals is a must when it comes to relationship and even otherwise. You probably know the process already, but here is a reminder of how you would feel if your partner wasn’t taking care of it? Not good right? Same goes the other way as well. So make this one a priority.
Well, having a good personal hygiene routine in place influences your self-confidence and self-esteem. It changes the way you feel about yourself, which is way more important than what the other thinks about you. However here is the trick. Confidence is attractive. So while having good personal hygiene makes you more appealing and attractive, being confident about yourself would turn your partner on further. So divide the parts to be taken care of in segments and take care of them, as that would mean taking care of your relationship with yourself and your partner as well.
