How to Keep Your Penis Clean and Healthy!
Alright, fellow penis owners, let’s talk about something super important yet often overlooked—How To Keep your penis clean. A little TLC down there goes a long way, not just for your health but also for your confidence in and out of the bedroom. All over reddit there are folks complaining about smelly penises, partners saying things like, “I used to like giving head till I met my current partner, its smell so bad I just can’t” or “Every time we have sex I get a UTI and I’m pretty sure it’s his dick, is just manky!” These are actual quotes I copied from Reddit! So, how do you make sure your best friend is always in top shape? Let’s dive in.
“Every time we have sex I get a UTI and I’m pretty sure it’s his dick, is just manky!”Ditch the Scented Stuff:
First things first—say goodbye to those fancy-smelling soaps and baby wipes. Sure, they might smell good, but they can mess with your skin’s natural balance, leading to irritation. Instead, go for a soap-free option like JO Refresh Cleaner. Keep your penis clean with scent and soap free products they are gentle on your skin and safe for your toys too. Double win!
If you’ve got skin that’s not too fussy, some shower gels and soaps are okay—as long as you rinse thoroughly. Leaving any residue behind is a big no-no. Your skin will thank you later.
Make Sure Under The Foreskin is Clean Too:
Got foreskin? Then this one’s for you! Keeping your penis clean includes your foreskin too! Pulling it back during cleaning is a must for mature penises, for prepubescent or young children this might not be a good idea. For some penis owners this might feel a bit odd, or even painful, if this is the case might be worth seeing a doctor about phimosis (tight foreskin). If you skip this step, you’re opening the door to smegma build up (that thick, oily white stuff) and possible infections. Not the kind of surprises you want.
Scrotum And Friends:
Your penis isn’t the only one who needs attention. The scrotum and the area between your pubic mound and thighs are prime spots for bacteria. Give them a good wash to keep everything fresh.
Once you’re squeaky clean, don’t forget to dry off. Dampness is a breeding ground for bacteria and can lead to irritation, especially under the foreskin. So, take a moment to pat dry—your future self will be grateful.

Noticed Any Changes In Your Genital Skin?
Keep an eye out for any changes around or on your penis. Redness, blemishes, itchiness, or a funky smell? Don’t ignore it—make an appointment with your GP. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Pubic Hair Perks:
If you’re a trimmer, consider leaving a bit of pubic hair. It’s not just there for show—it actually helps reduce skin on skin friction and can keep bacteria at bay. Plus, it adds a bit of a natural cushion, which isn’t a bad thing.
Daily Rituals:
A daily wash is your best bet, but don’t go overboard. Over-washing can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing irritation. And for those with foreskin, pulling it back while you pee can help keep things clean and reduce the risk of infection. If you find you penis or scrotum skin getting dry, then try and moisturiser like, Jelq2Grows Balm or Jo Masturbation Cream, both of these products obviously have other uses, but they are great moisturisers for your junk and shouldn’t irritate like some hand or face moisturisers.
