5 Hygiene Mistakes Guys Make

Most guys think they’ve nailed their hygiene routine — but a few small habits can quietly hold you back.


Mistake 1: Using regular shower gel

Regular shower gels are made for your body, not intimate skin. They’re often too alkaline and loaded with fragrance, which can leave your skin feeling dry or tight. A pH-balanced wash built for that area makes a world of difference.

That’s where RINSE Daily comes in — designed specifically for men’s intimate skin.

Mistake 2: Overwashing

Scrubbing too hard or washing too often can remove your skin’s natural moisture. The goal is to feel clean, not stripped. Gentle cleansing once a day is enough.

Mistake 3: Not drying properly

Leaving moisture trapped after a shower can make the area feel uncomfortable later. Always dry completely, especially in warm areas of the body.

Mistake 4: Wearing tight synthetic underwear

Synthetic fabrics trap heat and restrict airflow. Opt for breathable cotton or modal to stay cooler and more comfortable throughout the day.

Mistake 5: Ignoring pH balance

Your intimate skin naturally sits around pH 5 — slightly acidic and perfectly balanced. Using products that don’t match that level can leave skin feeling dry or off-balance. RINSE is formulated right where your skin needs it to be.

The difference between feeling “fine” and feeling fresh often comes down to the details — like what you wash with.
