Groin Sweat - Tips for Managing the Moisture
Springtime: when flesh becomes exposed and feels the warm,
long-awaited kiss of the sun. During this season, many people feel a resurgence
of sensual desire, which may have cooled off during the long, dark winter. But
for some men, warm weather also brings a very unsensual phenomenon: excessive
groin sweat. In the interest of proper male
organ health and the steady flow
of his romantic life, a man with such a circumstance would do well to learn how
to manage his moisture levels in the downstairs region.
Groin sweat is not only unappealing to a
man and his potential partners; it creates a ripe environment for the spread of
fungus, increasing a man’s risk of the dreaded jock itch rash that leads to
intense itching and unsightly bumps. Below, men can find tips for handling
their sweaty situation, both increasing their comfort and protecting the health
of their precious members.
1) Wash
more. This one is kind of a no-brainer, but
must be mentioned on a list of sweat management techniques. Some guys get
locked into a showering routine and are resistant to altering it during the
warmer months, but it’s important to regularly wash away accumulated sweat,
which may harbor unwanted fungi and bacteria.
That said, a man shouldn’t scrub hard,
use harsh soaps or run very hot water over the manhood. Rather, rinsing in warm
water – and using the fingers to gently retract the prepuce and wipe away
smegma, if a man is intact – once or twice a day should suffice.
2)
Powder up. It’s a good idea to put groin-friendly
powder on the inner thighs to keep things dry and prevent the balls from clinging
obnoxiously to a man’s legs. Powder can prevent jock itch and make a man far
more comfortable in the spring and summer.
3)
Dress appropriately. Wearing breathable, roomy cotton
underwear promotes air circulation in the area, and therefore dryness. Aside
from undergarments, men should also mind the type of pants or shorts they wear.
Skinny jeans aren’t the best choice for air circulation. Sweat-prone men should
also avoid thick materials and dark colors, the latter when they are going to
be out in the sun – lighter colors absorb less heat from the sun.
4)
Bring a change of clothes. Some men can’t avoid soaking though
their clothes, even if they use powder, either because they’re doing physical
labor or because they are simply more sweaty than most. For such men, carrying
around an extra pair of underwear and shorts or pants is a good idea. Keep some
spares in the car, at work, at a partner’s place – anywhere a man spends a
substantial amount of time. While he may not be able to prevent sweat, he can at
least get himself out of wet clothing, dry off with a paper towel and reduce
his risk of jock itch.
All this talk of keeping things dry
shouldn’t make a man think it’s not important to keep things moisturized. Skin
needs to stay hydrated, and a man who uses powders and washes several times a
day might end up drying his skin out.
That’s why it’s a good idea to use a
male organ-specific moisturizer after showering, one that soaks into the skin
nicely and doesn’t keep the area too wet. A male
organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) with vitamin A is ideal, since this
ingredient helps fight bacteria that can add to sweat odors. Look for Shea
butter and vitamin E on the ingredient list as well; these natural hydrators
attract just the right amount of moisture and keep it locked in. Finding a
balance between dryness and moisture is crucial to male organ health.
