A Very Sensitive Subject Among Men

You guys are gross.





Just kidding!! Woman here and I get holes where my thighs rub. You just gotta patch it up, or buy pants with sturdier material (Carhartts?). Girl jeans are made with the worst synthetic 'stretchy' denim-looking material that rubs open in like 2 months. I don't know if guys have this problem with cheap materials these days but yeah.

I've heard great things about the products from FreshBalls.com

Baby powder only lasts for so long, but it does prevent things like rash (think babies) and it will hold off moisture for a bit (not all day) but it won't prevent holes in your pants.

As for washing genitals with only water and no soap, this applies to females for sure. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, Joe Nerve, but I assure you it had nothing to do with omitting soap. I don't know if it works the same way for men or not.

I've known people who used this stuff before for long motorcycle rides. Might be applicable to some of your guys' err, "situations."
 
Wow, I just use well fitting, heavier weight boxer briefs that are moderately absorbent and the boys are all hammocked-up nicely, and sure, in the dog days of summer you get a little *humid*, but I never resort to chalky stuff..I'd imagine that'd get all pasty, an ain't nobody got time for that.
 
You live in Minnesota where it's -34 in the winter and -5 in the summer. For some of us, from more hot and humid regions of the world, perspiring walnuts are a very real, and very serious issue. I think this thread should be archived for future generations to learn from. Think of the children; don't sweat them out before they're even made!

Nothing was mentioned as to out of pants temps and if their only the size of walnuts you should toss some miracle grow in with your talcum powder.

Hey get outta here NO GIRLS ALLOWED
 
I hve noticed as I get older, that my franks and beans can get a little saucey given the right circumstance. So this thread, be it as it is, is actually pretty timely.
So, Gold Bond over Talcum seems to be the consensus... another suggestions?
I do a fair amount of fishing in all types of weather and nothin gets yer boys soupy like spending a day in chest waders! Or a float suite for that matter.

No soap on your junk? No way! I'm 51 and have never heard or seen a problem with proper washing your junk. If you don't use soap it's just gross, for a woman not to use soap down there?..ummmffff...nasty!
