The question posed here is not one concerned with cleanliness, or any other sort of “you should do this because it’s the right way to live your life” but merely one of curiosity: Do you mind smelling the same as the person you are supposed to be trying to maintain a sexual attraction to?
Any good advertiser these days is aware of the intimate tie between heartstrings and purse strings, which is why Dove is trying to get men to buy their deodorant or whatever with a new ad in which women hand their partners positive pregnancy tests. Everyone cries excitedly. Piano music soars. This is getting to be too…
"What's Up With...?" is a regular feature exploring fearsome ingredients in beauty products. If there's one you're curious about/scared of, leave us a comment and we'll try to suss it out.
Attention germaphobes: The L.A. Times reports that the FDA just announced it'll soon be placing new restrictions on the labeling of supposed "antibacterial soap."
Haven’t you always wanted a body scrub that would wash away your belly button filth and make a serviceable dip for your pretzel sticks?

Ohhhhhh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!! "Mangina." Yes, nothing is quite so funny as the notion of a man having a lady-cavern instead of a man-rod! Can you imagine? A man with a vagina?

During the winter, it's easy to find excuses to stay inside and avoid adult responsibilities. It's cold. There's snow all over, and it's covered with miniature ice canyons made of the neighbor's dog's pee. But sometimes putting off errands can lead to desperate situations, like realizing after turning the shower on…

Collectively, we aren't huge fans of bathing. (True story: since I started working for the site, I probably shower 50% less than I used to. [So we smell! -Ed.]). According to two recent chronicles of cleanliness throughout the ages covered in T Magazine this weekend, we dirty girls — many of us Democrats! — may be…
A British woman named Nicky Taylor — like millions of women — had a morning hygiene routine going on. Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, cleanser, moisturizer, toothpaste, mouthwash, anti-aging serum, make-up, hair get, deodorant and perfume. She used skin creams at night as well.
