I was afraid of allowing my wife to spontaneously blow me because I didn’t want her to encounter any unpleasant smells. I always wanted to wash up first, unless I had taken a shower within the last few hours.Then I discovered Hibiclens, which is an antibacterial soap which doctors use to scrub their hands before surgery. The active ingredient is chlorhexidine, Unlike most antibacterial agents, chlorhexidine continues to kill bacteria even after it’s been rinsed away. Every day when I take a shower I now pull back the foreskin, pour on a little Hibiclens, and wash thoroughly. Then I let it stay on for a couple of minutes as I wash my hair, then I rinse it all off. Since I’ve started using it I never get the least bit stinky down there.
You can only get it at a pharmacy, I’ve never seen it at Walmart or the grocery store. I actually buy the generic version at Walgreens because it’s a couple of dollars cheaper and I like the consistency of it better. It’s a little more slippery than the name brand Hibiclens, and I have to admit that it makes a great lube for masturbating in the shower. (Not that I would ever do that… I’m just saying that it would if you were inclined to do such things.)
The bottle has a warning on it that says it is not for use on genitals, but that’s just to cover their asses. My doctor actually told me about it and he said washing one’s dick with it isn’t a problem.
Being uncircumcised myself, I noticed the smell will go away (or at least much less noticeable) if I can keep my foreskin retract all day. I tried many methods to keep my foreskin in place and the best way I come up with so far is to wear an elastic silicon ring just behind my gland. This way, my gland will be dry and cool all day with no repulsive smell.
In case anyone is wondering, I have no plan circumcising because I don’t really need it. My foreskin in loose and only covers my gland when flaccid and can be fully pull back to expose my gland during sex. My doctor said regular cleansing is more than enough and there are no medical (and only cosmetic) reason for the operation.
