That's what my staff sergeants we called me at OCS.
Actually, he called everybody nasty at OCS and probably the best compliment was when
graduated we were apparently a little bit less nasty is the way he said it.
But I'm bringing this up guys cause in today's video I got five nasty problems that all men
face.
Nasty problem 1: Athlete's foot.
So if you played sports, you've been in and around men's locker rooms, you've probably
have heard hey watch out for athlete's foot.
Make sure wear shower shoes.
But what exactly is athlete's foot.
So you're going to see at the bottom of your foot in between the digits you're going to
see redness.
You're going to start to see possibly blisters.
You're going to see cracking.
You're going to see peeling.
It is where the fungus has infected the skin and in a sense it's something that it's starting
to spread.
So how do you stop it?
You actually first want to use an antifungal cream that's going to halt it in it's track
and hopefully start to get it to recede, and eventually kill it.
Now how to prevent athlete's foot?
Well, shower shoes.
Definitely wear shower shoes.
But also make sure to change out your shoes.
You don't want to be wearing the same running shoes especially if you're playing sports.
You want to maybe have two pair shoes you're rotating through.
Even around your own house.
Maybe instead of keeping the shoes on take them off.
Wear your socks.
Allow your feet to breathe.
That is going to be key because fungus is not going to grow in a dry space.
Nasty problem 2: Swamp crotch.
So if sweating, odor, irritation, pain, discomfort, chaffing if this describes your crotch area,
you probably have swamp crotch and there are many ways to deal with it.
First, let's look at your underwear choice.
Are you using the right type?
You're using boxers but maybe you're going to be better served with a bit of support
with some briefs that also have an ability to wick away moisture.
So look at the cotton you're using.
Maybe you want to go to a micromodal, maybe a synthetic that is made specifically to help
pull away moisture, better keep the boys in place.
But if none of that is working if like Antonio I'm having some real issues here.
What powder do you recommend?
I recommend Chassis.
Guys, they are the paid sponsored of this video.
But I know the founder and I've used this stuff.
This is the best powder on the market for basically eliminating swamp crotch and for
allowing you to just feel good down there.
Guys, yes, I have tested this.
Actually run this through water so check this out right here.
So mix this water.
What happens?
It does not mix.
That's what's amazing about Chassis.
It's actually hydrophobic.
So that means it doesn't want to mix with water.
Why is that good for you?
Cause think about it.
When you're sweating down there, the water is going to go right through basically that
layer of powder and then it's not going to adhere to your skin.
And that's going to keep you dry.
It's going to keep you confident.
Cause guys that is what this is all about.
Why do you use deodorant?
You use deodorant cause you don't want to smell.
You don't want to be embarrassed.
You don't want to want to get those big stains right here in your pits but the same thing
with swamp crotch.
You don't want to actually start to and there are guys I've talked with.
They've sent me these emails.
They talked about how they're sweating through.
If you are one of those guys that literally feel that people are going to see a sweat
stains in and around your crotch area, you want to check out Chassis.
I know the founder that came out at StyleCon and this company is the real deal.
Nasty problem 3: Gnarly toenails.
Now a lot of guys get this especially endurance athletes cause think about it you put your
feet in these shoes.
You keep them in there for a long time.
You're going to go on a 50 mile or 100 mile bike ride or maybe a 25 mile ride.
Whatever it may be you are subjecting your toes and those nails to a lot of pressure,
to getting close to each other and sometimes you'll get cracks.
This can incur infections.
This can actually led to fungal infections.
So when you're out there wearing those sandals, you're walking around bare foot your girlfriend
looks at your feet, and she's like, oh my gosh.
You need more than just a pedicure.
You need to go see a doctor.
She may be right.
Because toenail infections can become very this can get really bad.
So definitely if it's getting bad, if you see pus come out, if you have some issues
like your toenails falling off go check with your doctor.
But mostly maybe you just got to a fungal infection.
Yes which will lead your toenails falling off but this can be treated often time with
over the counter antifungal medication.
But the best thing that you can do is make sure whenever you take your shoes off that
you relax your feet and find shoes that fits you properly.
If your toes are getting smashed together then that's an issue and make sure to cut
your toenails regularly.
Nasty problem 4: Bromhidrosis (horrendous body odor).
So in any population when you look at a Bell curve you're going to have a percentage of
people who are going to be at one extreme or the other.
There are unfortunately some of you guys which after just a short amount of time, just a
little bit of sweat you are going to smell bad.
This often times happen because okay so the amount of testosterone in your body, the fatty
acids that come out mix with a certain bacteria that you naturally carry on your body.
All of this mix is to create the perfect storm which is you smell really bad for hours out
of jumping out of the shower, despite wearing clean clothing.
This is something that can hurt your career.
It can have people talking.
They're saying why doesn't this guy ever shower?
Of course, you shower.
Of course, you take care of yourself and no matter how much deodorant or even you start
wearing a lot of fragrance, you cannot cover this up.
So what you want to do is figure out how you can control it.
It could be that certain things in your diet are actually forcing this out more.
Another thing to look at is to go see your doctor.
There are certain ointments and type of lotions that you can wear which will actually basically
kill that bacteria and even though you're sweating and you still have chance for it,
they're going to reduce and they'll retard the growth of that bacteria.
Nasty problem 5: Gentleman, your clothing smells.
Yes.
Your clothing can retain smells.
You probably have had this happened.
When you go to the gym, you put on your gym clothes and you washed it.
You took a shower that morning but your gym clothes still smell and you haven't started
to work out.
What is going on?
Well if you actually get down to the fibers on those gym clothes depending on what they're
made out of, they actually starts to develop small holes and the bacteria can go in there
and all of a sudden when you start to move all of a sudden it's broken free.
It starts to smell.
The point being is your clothing can be harbinger of bad smells.
One of the first things you can do with your shoes, with your shirts, your athletic clothing,
anything you sweat in let it dry.
Don't just put it in a pile.
Cause often times it can be days till you get into it.
What's going to happen it's just going to grow and multiply.
The next thing is to actually looked for detergents which they say sports on them.
Often times these are going to have certain things in them that will kill the bacteria.
They're going to kill the fungus growth and that's something you want to look forward.
But if all else fails take a cup of vinegar, put your clothes in there.
Let them sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
Just soak right in there and that's going to kill and hopefully get rid a lot of the
smell.
All right gentleman, so here's a bonus nasty problem.
I'm not bringing up a picture for this one but let's just say dingle-berries.
If you don't know what they are, good luck searching on Google.
The point is some of us are pretty hairy in the backside area and you got to deal with
just say leftovers.
So what do you do?
Well carry wet wipe with you.
Maybe look at getting a bidet.
When I traveled throughout Thailand and Ukraine that's one thing I thought was actually really
smart is these guys had hoses.
They had ways of dealing with this issue.
Here in the United States I don't know why we only have toilet paper.
But if you are running into this problem again and again I guess you could shave, you could
wax that area.
I'm not going to necessarily recommend that but what I would recommend is figure out a
solution.
Gentleman, that's it for some nasty problems that we as men deal with.
The point I want to hit on here is be confident.
Because you don't want to be having that big meeting and you're getting nervous for it.
You start sweat up a storm and you look at yourself and you're like oh my gosh, they're
going to be able to see I'm about to sweat through my crotch area cause that's not going
to enable you to go in there with confidence and closed the deal.
Like I said we used deodorant, we used things like this to be able to feel good about ourselves
because it keeps at bay some of things yes, they're natural.
But in a business environment, in a dating environment, you don't want these things come
into the forefront cause you don't want to be remembered as that guy that had that issue.
Now guys again go check out Chassis.
They are a great sponsor.
I've met the founder.
This is the best product for your crotch out there on the market.
If you want more, if you've got issues with swamp crotch and you're like Antonio a powder
it will help but I need more.
So go check out the website.
What you're going to see there are the other products their shower primer and the extreme
cream.
I can tell you for those of you that deal with problems like this company is a dream
come true because they focus in on solving this one problem and I'm proud to have them
as a sponsor because I loved it when I can actually create content and tie stuff in like
this.
All right guys, take care.
I'll see you in the next video.
