As autumn approaches, the Responsible Flushing Alliance offers tips to help men avoid embarrassing toilet clogs, bad breath and more<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SEATTLE, Wash. (August 19, 2021) <\/strong>\u2013 Anytime of the year is the right time for proper grooming but after more than a year of social distancing, it may be time for a refresher course. Even celebrities are debating whether or not to wait for the stank to emerge before bathing their kids. (Celebrities, they\u2019re just like us!)<\/p>\n

The Responsible Flushing Alliance, a consumer education non-profit with a mission to provide information on what not to flush, is here to help men of all ages with handy tips and tricks for living their best-groomed selves.<\/p>\n

The top 10:<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t go overboard<\/strong>: No one wants to come across thirsty, which is exactly what will happen if you look like you have an overly complex grooming routine. Take the time you need to smell good and feel confident, but make it look easy and know when to stop.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t be a hairy mess<\/strong>: Even for hipster face mane\u2019s, following a regular manscaping schedule is a good thing. Typically, men cut their hair every 2-3 weeks, and we\u2019ll let you determine an appropriate schedule for all other hair-areas in need of shaving, trimming, waxing, combing, brushing, and styling.<\/p>\n

3. Floss + Brush daily<\/strong>: Come on guys\u2026 nearly 40 percent of men don\u2019t floss. The bad breath club is one you do not want to join. Simple chronic halitosis is no joking matter after all.<\/p>\n

4. Avoid stinky feet: <\/strong>Wash your feet with soap in the shower (yep, the bottoms, too) to avoid smelly feet and itchy athlete\u2019s foot. For an extra treat, sprinkle your tootsies with some powder.<\/p>\n

5. Don\u2019t forget your fingernails:<\/strong> Invest in a nail scrub brush to get the dirt out from under your nails, or cut nails short. Dirty and\/or unkempt nails is a major turnoff, especially with an emphasis on handwashing and the 20-second routine.<\/p>\n

6. Avoid using the wrong products:<\/strong> One size fits all does not apply to personal hygiene. Find specific products that match your unique hair, face, teeth and body needs.<\/p>\n

7. Wash your face:<\/strong> Half of men ages 18-24 don\u2019t wash their face daily! But please see tip 6. The soap you use to wash your hands is too harsh to use on your face.<\/p>\n

8. Don\u2019t use too much cologne:<\/strong> A midday shower, body wipes or a change of clothes is a better bet. Heavy perfume use might smell good to you, but it can trigger an asthma attack with those with asthma or allergies.<\/p>\n

9. Make sure to shower enough:<\/strong> Showering once a day is key to adulting. Try using body wipes on sweaty areas in between showers. Just be sure to toss them in the trash, not to toilet.<\/p>\n

To keep these tips handy, check out the Responsible Flushing Alliance\u2019s infographic on the Top 10 Grooming Mistakes Guys Make<\/a> and be ready for the real world again in no time. Part of any grooming routine is a clean bathroom, so keep yours in tip-top shape by avoiding gross, annoying clogs. It\u2019s easy to do \u2013 just check for the \u201cDo Not Flush\u201d symbol on packaging to see if wipes are flushable or not, and if it\u2019s non-flushable, toss it in the trash instead of the toilet.<\/p>\n

Never flush non-flushable items<\/strong>: Nothing is a bigger turn-off than an embarrassing, overflowing toilet. Some commonly flushed items that were never meant to be flushed include:<\/p>\n
