Swamp Crotch


"Can you address swamp crotch?"

Sweaty balls. What guy hasn't been there? We can shower and a few hours later, The Boys are wet with perspiration. And, if left long enough, the odor can waft right through the pants. 



Swamp Crotch = Crotch Funk. It's caused by normal bacteria on the skin that mixes with sweat. While some people like the odor, others find it untenable. 

Even if we aren't exercising.


"How to Beat Swamp Crotch" from MensHealth makes some good suggestions.

Anti-perspirants can clog pores, so you don't want to use that on your bits. There are a ton of brands of deodorants out there to choose from. But there are other things you can do to help the situation.

After a shower, try OffCourt - a powder body spray, which might end up like the FreshBalls by the end of the day. The powder turns to a slimy mess. 

Or ToppCock Silver, a gel made specifically for the balls. Put it on after your shower.



Both use all-natural ingredients (just like Fresh Balls) so ingestion is perfectly safe.


Switch to 100% cotton briefs. Cotton is more breathable than micro-modal materials popular today.

While many of the newer men's briefs tout "moisture-wicking" material, for men whose groins sweat profusely they don't work. They still end up with wet crotches and butt cracks.

One really good solution: Get some Dude Wipes - On the Go.


They're individually wrapped and come in fragrance free or Mint Chill (which might help cool things down a bit). You can go into the men's room and freshen up during the day. But please, do not flush them after use. Any plumber or person who works in a sewer treatment plant will tell you wipes don't break down all that well. That can clog pipes - especially older cast iron ones.
Lastly, if you don't piss "balls out," start. 


Give the area some fresh air to dry out a bit.
And speaking of balls....
I totally missed Buddy Ball Check over this past weekend.

I trust you all remembered and did the deed.

Being nude around the house helps keep the balls area aired out. We spend a lot of time nude. We also shave our balls and crotch area which keeps pubic hair from retaining smells and odors.

This is something luckily I've never suffered from.

Same info for men or women, we ALL have the same issues:

Wear underwear made of natural materials, such as cotton or light moisture-wicking fabrics. (They can actually dry out faster.).
Wear loose-fitting boxers.
Shower twice daily.
Apply cornstarch/deodorant powder to help control moisture and odor.
Bathe twice daily.
Trim back pubic hair.
Use an antiperspirant between the legs, and on the body, but avoid sensitive skin
Be on the offensive with anti-fungal powder.

For folks who don't have a real big problem some of these simple things could work, but if it is a real issue using an anti-perspirant powder just on your thighs and body without the groin could be a big help. You can't ignore excess sweating along with the heat because before you know it, you have a full-blown yeast infections.
Not to wish on your worst enemy. Hugs and bisous.

Time for men to go scots mode and wear kilts? They have the advantage of allowing air to circulate to evaporate moisture better than trousers and they don't constrain the frank and beans.

I have often wondered whether a heavy sporran is an advantage in hiding a partial erection.

And good that two of you pics showed guys with foreskins. Don’t forget “friendly foreskin” check with buddy ball check.
All important bits!

We have a cousin in the family and his dick use to stink like he been pounding onions and garlic at the same time. When we were younger he would pull his dick out just to annoy me (he was older than me) as I hated the smell. Soon as it was out you could smell it from the other side of the house. Over time we found the culprit of the stink was latex allergy/irritation from condoms.

Apart from that, our skin in that area is much more sensitive than anywhere else. It dont take much to throw out the Ph balance in those areas (both male and female). Moisturizers work pretty well if applied when wet (straight out of the shower best time). Body oils work better than lotions as its more easily absorbed.

Always have nude time, let everything breathe. What we do is once we get home our underwear is off. Might put loose fitting clothes on or just go completely nude.

so interesting

Honestly, I've not had much issue with this. While I lived in L.A. I ended up with an issue. To resolve it... dandruff shampoo. Selsun Blue has an active ingredient which takes care of all that. It also works on butt crack issues. I still use it every now and then... like once every three months, when I think there could be an issue developing. It does the trick. Kizzes.

Shaving the balls and trimming the pubes, goes a long way to dramatic odor reduction. Showering and drying everything well helps plus wearing cotton underwear.
Best ball creme I found? Tame the Beast Nutt Butter. Just a little goes a long way and your balls stay amazing fresh all day, especially if they are shaved.
No irritation or mess.
There are numerous brands out there, just do a web search.

@ Anon, January 20, 2023 at 7:00 PM - So long as NuttButter doesn't get all gooey and messy....

Yes, a sporran will cover a boner. I agree that it is nice to have the freedom of a kilt. Almost like being nude down there.
