When companies started marketing special body washes, face creams and various skin care products to men, some people laughed. What guy is going to spend $75 and 30 minutes
a day washing his face? But it turned out plenty of guys were willing to put in the time it takes to look good. Now male beauty products are common and guys from all walks of life use some or all of them.
Building on the success of male grooming products, there are now companies that have branched out to a more intimate form of personal hygiene. Some of the products make a bit of sense while others had us scratching our heads and covering our crotches.
An Electric Ball Shaver ($16.99 at ShopPrivate.com)
Testicles are hard to maintain in terms of grooming. They aren’t easy to shave and you really don’t want to even think about waxing. That’s where a specially designed electric shaver comes in. Electric razors work better for the wrinkly surface of balls and, let’s be honest, you want a separate razor for this.
Weener Kleener ($7.98 at Lighter Side)
Ever wished you had a dedicated soap for your penis? One that was even specially shaped to get the job done as quickly as possible? Well, wish no longer because Weener Kleener is here! This donut shaped soap is perfect for washing the Old Chap – just be sure your friends don’t’ use it as a hand soap when they come to visit.
Ball Deodorant ($19.99 on eBay)
Every guy worries about how he smells down below every now and again. Let’s face it – ventilation there isn’t exactly the best. For guys who sweat profusely, ball stink can be the ultimate cock blocker. Products like Fresh Balls offer a way to combat the problem – by treating your penis the same way you treat your armpits.
Back Hair Shaver ($25 on Amazon)
Body hair is another source of anxiety and worry for some men. For the most part, it’s easy to handle male grooming but when it comes to back hair, the chore is almost impossible. It used to mean having to ask someone to shave your back which is kind of awkward, to say the least. But now there’s the Mangroomer. It’s an electric shaver with a special handle that makes it possible to finally sort yourself out without having to host a shaving party.
Goatee Stencil ($19.99 on Amazon)
Okay, I’m pretty sure this one is weird by anyone’s estimation. The goatee guide looks more like something Hannibal Lector or Bane would wear out but maybe that’s your groove when you shave. If you want to look menacing and you think you can keep it clamped between your teeth long enough to get the job done, it’s a good way to keep your goatee OCD perfect.
Spray On Hair Thickener ($19.95 on Toppik)
The website claims it thickens the hair but let’s be honest here – it’s spray on hair. It’s never a
good idea. As soon as it rains or you start to sweat no one is going to be looking at your thickened hair – they’ll be looking at the streaks of paint you tried to pass off as hair.
These products prove that men are targeted more and more for products that address every cosmetic problem they could possibly have – both real and imagined. While it’s fun to laugh at them, it’s important to remember that these products also show how insecure men often are about their bodies and sexuality. That’s why it’s so important for male enhancement communities to continue to work together in order to provide support and advice for men who want to improve themselves without falling for products that will just empty their wallets.
