Could your hygiene habits be getting in the way of feeling like your most confident, comfortable and optimal self?

Hygiene is something we all have to navigate, but there are certain conversations that rarely happen openly. From intimate hygiene and everyday habits to the things women experience but may feel too embarrassed to talk about, there’s a lot more to personal hygiene than simply being “clean.” In this video, we’re talking about the hygiene issues that can sometimes get in the way of feeling your best, including conversations that waxers have been having online about women’s hygiene and the situations they encounter while doing their jobs. We’ll look at some of the common hygiene concerns women navigate, why certain issues can happen, how to approach them without shame or embarrassment, and the practical things you can do to feel more comfortable and confident. This isn’t about judging anyone for their hygiene. It’s about having an honest conversation about something that affects all of us—and understanding the things that people may notice but don't always feel comfortable telling you. Because sometimes, nobody wants to tell you… but knowing what to look out for can make all the difference.

Going straight from the gym to a waxing appointment is absolutely heinous behavior to begin with! I always scrub and clean myself right before I leave for my waxing. I can’t do my aesthetician like that.

Always prioritise having a good hygiene rather than putting on makeup etc..!

Omg, ive always been paranoid to smell or be unlcean for services like waxing or going to the gyno, like I shower as close to the event as possible and bring wipes to be sure when I arrive and there are ladies just not caring at all...I can't. 😭

Hygiene is not only about respecting yourself, but respecting others. A funky smell can genuinely make someone sick but people don't have that self awareness.

Like honestly, i would hope that a professional would tell me about a perceived infection and not just wax away, it might make the infection worse!

@pris1378 11 hours ago

fun fact: if you wash your vag too much, or use too much cleaning product on it you may cause your vag's micro biome to go out of whack and get bacterial vaginosis.

i've had to be on IV antibiotics a few times and the number that did on my vag was really uncomfortable.

One time I had a coworker who's sweater/jacket smelled like old cigarettes and humidity. But she was a really clean person so I was confused. Then I remembered that she never regained her sense of smell after Covid. Like, for years.
She literally couldn't smell it!!! She thanked me and was glad I told her. We were fairly close. Went out for drinks and stuffs, I miss her!

Unfortunately I think this problem has only worsened in recent years. Every public bathroom I use has the most awful, absolutely rank coochie smell it actually makes me nauseous.
I’ve always been extremely paranoid and super aware of how I smell, especially down there. I genuinely feel so bad for women who aren’t aware or were never taught how to take care of themselves.

This convo w the waxer is ridiculous!!!

I don’t understand not drinking water. Watching that part made me thirsty. More than 80% of fluids I drink daily are water, and I can’t imagine any other way

A bidet makes a hell of a difference let me tell you

It should totally be normal to privately, gently give others feedback. It feels like a bigger issue of a lack of safe spaces (within the self & community), and willingness to communicate in said communities/in general. We gotta educate and affirm with the criticism we are giving for us to build eachother up

The worst smell is sitting next to someone who had garlic the night before, not something you want to smell first thing in the morning

@mycatismarterthanyou 11 hours ago

Okay, a person performing a service has the absolute right to refuse service especially if they have to touch you in any way but why would you demand someone perform any kind of service where they touch you if they are uncomfortable doing so? I would be absolutely mortified if someone else had to tell me I had an infection or they thought I did. It would mean I hadn't been to a doctor for my regular checkup but was getting waxed? What are we doing people?

Listening to this during lunch and returned my soda for a water. Thanks mom (who is at least a decade younger than me)

I don’t understand when people say they don’t drink water. I’ve heard both men and women say this and I always think how rank their urine must be. Also… what is wrong with you that you don’t enjoy drinking water??? It’s like the definition of refreshing???

I find it super funny that people insist on using 10 body cleaners and soaps and whatnot, but then the Lady Downstairs lives in filth. I may only use one body wash, but I make sure Lady has a clean house.

@jordynm9049 7 hours ago

21:15 also on the flip side, some people can smell and it not have to do with anything that they can control. In school we’re been learning about disorders that cause people to have different smells and man my heart goes out to those folks
