"Hit any folds you have with a hair dryer on low heat after the shower. Getting those spots fully dry reduces bacteria growth and keeps them from getting funky."

Note: This method is not essential or recommended, but some gynecologists suggest blow-drying over simply using a towel for people who are prone to yeast infections or skin sensitivity. Use the lowest/coolest setting, only externally, and never blow air into the vagina.

"One of my favorite things I do every day is combining my mouthwash with hydrogen peroxide every time I gargle. It depends on how much you want. I add about five drops, but some people add more. After gargling and swishing, I let it sit in my mouth and on my teeth. This is optional. Noticeably, my teeth have gotten whiter, and I never have bad breath anymore."

Note: Peroxide rinses are a real thing, but the dose matters a lot. Dentists recommend diluting 3% hydrogen peroxide 1:1 with water, swishing for under a minute, and spitting it out, never swallowing it, at any concentration.

"As an ER nurse, I can confirm sugaring a hemorrhoid is very legit and we do it in the hospital!"

"Sugar helps shrink many mucous membranes. Vets use it to help retract a dog’s penis if it’s stuck outside the sheath, and it can help minor rectal prolapses. I hadn’t considered that it would work on hemorrhoids, too. Good to know! Talking of hemorrhoids, if yours are external, flakes of shit will get trapped behind them, so with a wipe or moistened toilet paper, give your butthole a little wiggle after wiping to dislodge any stuck bits. It’ll stop them itching so much!"

Note: Doctors do use sugar on prolapsed hemorrhoids — in a hospital, on tissue they've examined. Talk to a doctor before trying it at home.

"Throw your tongue scraper in there as well. For the win! If you have any little vases or jars that you keep little flower buds in periodically, or plant starts, they get really slimy. You might not be able to see it, but you can feel it. Dental tabs are a great use in small vessels of water or vases as well. I've even used them in my hummingbird feeders before I give them a good scrub and rinse. :-)"

Note: Witch hazel products vary in concentration, so follow the product’s directions rather than assuming a dilution ratio. As an alcohol extract, it can be used by saturating a piece of cloth and applying it to the affected area. For external anal-area use, witch hazel water can be applied up to 6 times a day or after bowel movements; don’t insert it into the rectum, and overuse can cause dryness or irritation.

Note: Putting on your socks before your underwear can help prevent spreading athlete’s foot fungus to the groin, but it’s mainly relevant if you already have a fungal infection on your feet. The same fungus can cause athlete’s foot and jock itch, and it can spread from an infected foot to the groin through clothing.
