HYGIENE IN RELATIONSHIPS PART 1

   

Joey looks at his phone its Gladys calling. He wrings his face as though he wants to tear his skin out. Skeptical about picking the call, he watches it enter miss call. Immediately his phone beeps and he sees it’s a text. Hoping that it’s a random text, he sees it’s from Gladys that reads “I’m glad you finally called it a quit between us, please have it in mind I never enjoyed your bad breath, unshaved armpits and forested pubes. Please for the sake of not killing another man’s daughter do some personal hygiene”. Joey’s manager hears a thunderous shout that interrupts his meeting with major CEO’s from the city of Lagos in his office. He rushes out to ensure the office is in complete order, only for him to see Joey running to the bathroom as he strips. “I don’t want to see that mad man ever in this office” he orders his security.

   Got your attention, hygiene is something many people don’t talk about until they break up. Most times it impales the victim’s personality with a long destructing effect.

   Hygiene is important in our general lives although when it comes to relationships, it is of utmost importance. My attention was captured when I observed that hygiene is something people are poorly taking adequate devotion to especially when they have found that person who is in love with them. “Love is not the bus stop of eliminating personal hygiene; it is the arrival of accurate hygiene” -Newton Paul

   As we grow our body system works twice as fast, the body metabolism works super quick even growth speeds up as the case maybe. During this process, there are several changes the body experience.  Sometime it could be as a result of environmental factor or climatic factor, either way it is mandatory we understand our body system and know how to rescue our way out of embarrassing moments resulting from body odor, mouth odor, unshaved armpits and pubes.

   Let’s look at some rescuing tips that will come in handy to smoothen our relationships.

Shaving: I wish to spend some time addressing this aspect. First of all you need to know the kind of shaving stick product that works for you, skin differs thereby resulting to negative results and we don’t want that. While shaving either loin or armpits, you have to shave downwards. Bumps occur due to reaction, infection or irregular growth of hairs. When hair doesn’t grow in the right direction, it’s likely to cause bumps. Hair majorly grows downwards and not upwards so you ought to shave according to its growing pattern. After shaving, it’s very important you make use of “after shave” or “spirit” to disinfect the area. Some injuries might have occurred since its blade you making use of. *Off record* Staying under a fan or a/c is advisable as you disinfect due to the hurtful feeling one might experience (if you have no light abeg use hand fan. Who says looking good doesn’t hurt? lol).

   But we dont have sex, why shave when no one sees that angle!!! It’s not until you involved in sinful relationship before you take care of your private particulars. Good hygiene boosts your confidence.

*Guys beards are not left out on the shaving category. It’s not until you look like Noah before we know you matured. Trim and shave often to look decent and attractive.

Body odor: Every human should at least make use of three body fresheners which include; roll on, body spray and perfume. They are three different things my brothers and sisters. The roll on is for the armpits and not for the loins, the body spray is for the entire body while the perfume can go for your cloths and some selected part of the body. (Some body odors are so strong you feel like using insecticide to kill it). By the way it’s not just any perfume or body spray that goes some are complete error. Not forgetting regular bath especially those people who sweat a lot, try get soaps or bath gels that have good fragrance.

   “Every day needs clean underwear”. Avoid wearing one boxer or panties twice. Sundry your shoes and wash socks regularly. Sometimes spray them with perfume. (Just a little secret)

   Hygiene has been a silent killer in many relationships. Take out time to talk about issues bothering you about your spouse hygiene in a polite manner and set out constructive ways to let them see why they need to embrace personal hygiene remember the main aim in a relationship is bringing out the best from each other.

   Hygiene is an everyday personal work we must pick interest in and enjoy. We shouldn’t cultivate the habit only when our spouse or loved ones are around in order to please them. Like my saying goes “it is the things you do in the private that makes us glow in the public”. It’s up to you to develop a good personal hygiene which I believe will make your relationship blossom.
