Hygiene tips

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating, after using the restroom, after coughing or sneezing, and after touching public surfaces.

Carry a hand sanitizer with you. Make sure the sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol and rub it over your hands until dry.

When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow to prevent the spread of germs. Dispose of used tissues immediately.

Refrain from touching your eyes, nose, and mouth as much as possible, as these are entry points for germs into your body.

Take showers or baths regularly to keep your body clean and fresh. Use soap and water to thoroughly cleanse your body, paying attention to areas like armpits, feet, and groin.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes each time, using fluoride toothpaste. Don't forget to clean your tongue, and replace your toothbrush every three to four months.

Keep your nails short and clean to prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria. Use a nail brush to scrub under your nails regularly.

Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces in your home, such as doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and electronics. Also, keep your living space well-ventilated.

Wash your clothes, bed linens, and towels regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions. Use the appropriate water temperature and detergent to ensure proper cleanliness.

Avoid sharing personal items like towels, razors, toothbrushes, or makeup.

Practice good food hygiene by washing fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption. Cook food to the appropriate temperature to kill harmful bacteria, and refrigerate leftovers promptly.

Keep your surroundings clean: Regularly clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, phones, keyboards, and remote controls. This helps eliminate germs that may be present on these surfaces.

Maintain clean and healthy feet: Keep your feet clean and dry to prevent fungal infections. Wash your feet regularly, dry them thoroughly (especially between the toes), and wear clean socks and well-fitting shoes.

Ensure that the water you use for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene is clean and safe. If necessary, use water filters or boil the water before use.

If possible, use a shower filter.

If you are sexually active, use barrier methods (such as condoms) to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections. Get regular check-ups and screenings as recommended by healthcare professionals.

Take care of your mental well-being by managing stress, getting enough sleep, engaging in regular physical activity, and seeking support when needed. Good mental health is essential for overall well-being.

Sleep with aloe vera on your face to help with scars and acne.

Massage your body with oils and lotions after shower or before bed.

Eat greek yogurt to help fix PH balance, acne and odor in your private area.

Wear cotton based underwear.

Do not treat your body like a trashcan.

To smell good during the day:

Regular bathing helps remove sweat, dirt, and odor-causing bacteria from your body.

Apply antiperspirant or deodorant to clean, dry underarms to control sweat and odor.

You can also use baking soda and lemon to get rid of under arm odor.

Put on freshly laundered clothes each day. Clean clothing helps prevent the buildup of odor-causing bacteria and keeps you smelling fresh.

When choosing clothes, opt for natural fibers like cotton or linen, which allow air to circulate and help wick away moisture from your body. Avoid synthetic materials that can trap sweat and lead to unpleasant odors.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and use mouthwash to maintain fresh breath. Don't forget to clean your tongue as well.

Apply a pleasant fragrance, such as perfume or cologne, sparingly. Avoid excessive application, as it can be overwhelming to others. Focus on pulse points like the wrists, neck, or behind the ears.

Keep your feet clean and dry to prevent foot odor. Wash your feet daily, dry them thoroughly (especially between the toes), and wear clean socks and well-ventilated shoes.

Regularly brush your tongue, as it can harbor bacteria and contribute to bad breath. Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins from your body. Staying hydrated can help prevent the buildup of odors.

Certain foods, such as garlic, onions, and spicy dishes, can contribute to body odor. Pay attention to your diet and make choices that minimize strong odors if you are concerned about smelling good.

Keep a small travel-sized deodorant, wet wipes, or refreshing body spray with you to freshen up during the day, especially in hot or humid weather.

Ensure your clothes, towels, and bed linens are washed regularly. Use a detergent with a fresh scent to keep them smelling clean.

Spray perfume on your brush or use natural oils that are safe for your hair.

Wipe front to back to avoid infections. Use toilet paper then wipes.

moisturize your skin.

When washing your hair, make sure you are using products that clean your hair without drying it out.

Keep feminine wipes with you.

normal parents: wash their kids when small, teach their kids independent personal hygiene when it's age appropriate and then watch that it's done until the kids get a sense of healthy washing habits. give them rewards for when they do well.

abusive parents: you stink and you're disgusting. nobody will ever love you. if you had any sense of shame you would have learned to wash yourself by now.

Here’s some positivity for systems and headmates who struggle with personal hygiene!

Learning how to take care of your system’s body is not always easy, especially if you experience some disconnect from your system’s body or have a disability that makes personal hygiene difficult! Struggling with hygiene is nothing to be ashamed of, and we promise that with practice, your system’s hygiene can improve with time! Here’s to all of those out there for whom personal hygiene is very difficult!

🧼 Shoutout to systems who, as children, were never taught how to take care of their hygiene and are having to learn as an adult!

🪥 Shoutout to new hosts, co-hosts, and system members who are having to learn how to handle hygiene for the very first time!

🛁 Shoutout to systems with disabilities that make keeping up with personal hygiene difficult for any reason!

🫧 Shoutout to individual headmates who are learning to take care of their body’s hygiene foe the rest of their system!

🧼 Shoutout to systems who need accommodations or help from someone else in order to keep up with their hygiene!

🪥 Shoutout to headmates who set reminders, motivate their system, obtain hygiene supplies, or do other things to help their system have an easier time taking care of themselves!

🛁 Shoutout to systems who are actively learning how to improve their hygiene and take better care of their bodies!

🫧 Shoutout to systems who have trauma stemming from an aspect of personal hygiene that makes taking care of themselves today scary and difficult!

🧼 Shoutout to headmates who want to help better their system’s personal hygiene, but have no idea where to even begin!

🪥 Shoutout to systems with members who used to take care of their body’s hygiene, but who have since gone dormant, leaving the rest of the system to figure things out for themselves!

🛁 Shoutout to headmates who are nonhuman, who have difficulties understanding how human personal hygiene works!

Struggling with personal hygiene is simply a fact of life for many folks out there (including us!). It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and your system’s worth and value is not tied to how well you take care of your personal hygiene! Your system, and all of its members, are deserving of kindness, compassion, and respect, no matter how good you are at keeping up with your body’s hygiene.

We hope that y’all can treat yourself with the kindness you so deserve today. Know that learning personal hygiene, making new habits, figuring out accommodations, understanding what works best for your system, and other tasks associated with maintaining hygiene can certainly be a lot, and it’s okay to take things slow and be gentle with yourself and your system! Thanks for taking the time to read this, and take care!

CW: body upkeep/ personal hygiene; dental hygiene

Your F/O doesn’t judge you for struggling with personal hygiene

Your F/O understands that showers take time and energy and spoons

Your F/O doesn’t judge you for not washing your hair

It’s okay if you are a bit stinky (or a lot stinky)

Your F/O understands that brushing your teeth is exhausting and can be sensory discomfort but

If you invest any energy and spoons into personal upkeep at all, your F/O strongly encourages you to put those spoons into brushing your teeth

I promise you, your F/O does not judge you for falling short

But if you can, your F/O asks that you please brush your teeth and prioritise that

They know you’re not happy and they know you want to do more

But if you only can do so much, only have limited spoons, please focus on dental hygiene

I promise you, your F/O still loves you if you haven’t showered in a few days

And your F/O does not get mad at you if you can’t brush your teeth

It’s okay, your F/O knows things are tough

Your F/O loves and supports you no matter how long it takes to get back on your feet about personal hygiene and body upkeep

antis DNI! This post is not for anti shippers!

Daily reminder to go fucking clean yourself

Take a shower with some soap, even if all you have is bodywash, a soapbar, or whatever! Use whatever you have, just clean your body!

None of this "Girl who stinks good"-nonsense, you stink bad!!!

Wash your hands after everytime you use the bathroom, there be germs 'n' shit there!!!

And brush your teeth after breakfast, lunch, and dinner—at least twice a day!!!

Thank you.

How hot do you take your showers? The options would be:

"I take Boiling Hot showers"

"I take Hot showers"

"I take Warm showers"

"I take Lukewarm showers"

"I take Cold showers"

"I take Freezing Cold showers"

And the usual "I don't take showers/show results".

I take really hot showers myself, I'm really curious abt other people's preferences!

I am having surgery, and will not be able to raise my arms much. How do I care for my face and hair?

I'm gonna narrow "care" here down to "clean" for simplicity. I'm also going to assume that, minus the use of your arms, you are otherwise mobile.

First off, talk to your surgical team if you can. They may have tips or tools to give you.

How would a T-Rex care for it's face and hair (if it had them)? It'd use a stick.

Put a washcloth on a stick (or grabby thing) and wash your face with it.

Repurpose an extendable back scratcher to scrub your hair with.

Also, maybe this is a good time to consider a lower maintenance hairstyle if that's an option.

Ideal? No. The best answer? Probably not. But it'll get you thinking.

If you can't extend your arms, make an extension of your arms.

Whatever solution you come up with: Practice using it before your arms are all fucked up so you can make sure it works!

Make sure your framing the problem/goal correctly here. Is the goal to "care for your hair" or is it to "keep your hair from getting gross for a few weeks while you recover"? Same for your face. Don't make the problem harder than it needs to be.
