Tricks for keeping body parts smelling fresh: Ah, the power of scent. A good cologne, perfume, body wash, deodorant, or aftershave does more than just make you smell nice. As Elizabeth Svoboda of Psychology Today notes, part of sexual attraction happens to be the way that we smell. This isn’t just the fancy products that you use, but your real, natural, unadulterated scent.

What if you don’t walk around reeking of a dozen roses though? Perhaps you’d describe your scent as less than savory. You may go through life permanently masking your natural smell because to you, it’s more stinky than sexy. There are plenty of problem areas throughout the body that can produce excess sweat and that unwanted odor, and we’re not just talking about the armpits. From your scalp to your lady or man parts below the belt all the way down to your toes, these can leave others plugging their noses around you.
While personal hygiene will always be the best way to combat unwanted stenches (but, as you’ll see, not all of them), sometimes you don’t have time to shower, like if you forgot all about that big date or job interview until just this moment. At this point, you have two options. You can bathe yourself in cologne and perfume or you can try something a little more unorthodox.
You may very well be surprised by some of the more unique and inventive ways of keeping your body fresh and stink-free. You probably have a lot of the supplies that you need at home already, preventing the need to spend money. Cologne and perfume can be very expensive after all.
10. Use Baby Powder
One of the most common body parts that tend to succumb to those less-than-pleasing smells, it’s no wonder that some people are shy about their feet. Whether you wear sandals all day or keep your tootsies in socks and boots, once you get home and the shoes come off, you end up breathing in a toe-riffically bad aroma.
If you know what shoes that you’ll wear tomorrow, grab some baby powder and gently apply some to the insoles. It’s okay to have the powder pile up. Go to bed, and the next day, shake out any excessive powder. Your shoes will have a better scent and so will your feet. Try this for sneakers, boots, and even open-toed shoes. Now you know.
