My naval! I’m very thorough when showering - I absolutely hate feeling dirty. But I think the ol’ belly button gets overlooked because of how concave it is.
I used to be better about it, but the whole chose of getting it all opened and unfolded just to get my sponge in there in all the nooks and crannies it has for whatever reason, then rolling it back up and folding it into its pouch, all to have like what three, four maybe six hours before it starts smelling again. It’s just not worth it.
Not that I just let it ruin everyone’s day, mind you. I’ve always got ice breakers or altoids and at least one, often two chip clips on me at all times.
Now, I don’t want to alarm you, but it sounds like you have a rather unique situation if you must unfold your naval, and that it smells after 6 hours from washing it.
This thread has made me realize how thorough I am about washing. I use a washcloth and the first things I scrub are the backs of my ears and neck, then arms, pits, torso, back, legs, tops of feet, then for last I do butt, crotch, bottoms of feet and between my toes. Then I ditch the washcloth and with just my hands I wash my bellybutton and privates.
So I guess if I missed anything it would be between my fingers and the backs of my hands.
Same. The only time my legs and feet get scrubbed is in the bath. It’s just too awkward to balance in the shower. If I suffered from stinky feet, I’d do it, but I don’t, so I don’t.
I like to soak hot (non-pressurized) water into my ears, and then let the now-molten earwax flow out once I straighten up.
I also don’t own a bidet, so I use the shower telephone to powerwash my asshole. If I happen to fart during that process, well, call it the poor man’s enema.
That’s why you get a bidet! With a bit more pressure they work like an enema. Just relax, fill up, purge, repeat. It’s great to combat mild constipation. Prevents butt slime - when you go and the last bit of poop refuses to come out, then slowly leaks out as you walk around.
There are cheap $20 ones that work fine. That area of your body isn’t particularly sensitive to cold water.
