If You Call A Nonbinary Person Cis Bc They Don't Perform Androgyny To A Level You Approve Of I'm Omw

who would’ve thought?

[imperialist shill voice] HOW many TIMES does the cia have to engineer coups to install US puppets before people will stop ELECTING DICTATORS?????

the points “twilight legitimately promoted abusive and pedophilic narratives and is also really fucking racist, so we shouldn’t glorify it” and “most of the hate that twilight received was NOT for these legitimate reasons but because it was popular with teenage girls and women as a product of misogyny” can exist simultaneously

What if air nomads are pacifists bc they used to do shit like suffocating people and then saw the destruction they caused so turned away from it 🤔🤔

secret lore 👀? what if the reason why air nomads distance themselves from the rest of the world is because they don’t want to be tempted back into that cycle of violence

Showering 101

There’s a lot involved in showering that not everyone gets taught for various reasons. There’s no shame in finding things out for yourself that you missed out on learning before, so here are some tips.

It’s important to try to shower at least every couple of days, even if you don’t stink yet. Bacterial infections can occur in just a few days of not washing. Also, other people will smell your body odour before you do, because it’s your own smell and you’re used to it. Obviously sometimes this isn’t realistic, but every two days or so is ideal.

You don’t have to wash your hair every time you shower. If your hair doesn’t need washing yet, don’t put off your shower - you can just pull your hair back (if necessary) and put on a shower cap to keep it dry. A shower cap is there to help avoid any accidental moisture - you still need to keep your covered hair out of the spray as much as possible.

Soap or body wash is necessary. Standing under the water will wash away a little bit, maybe, but soap or body wash actually grabs the dirt, sweat, and oils that cling to skin, allowing you to wash them away with the water. Always soap up and then use running water to rinse the soap and dirt off.

You need to use a clean washcloth with every shower. Your hands and soap alone won’t exfoliate (aka remove the dead skin cells in which bacteria live). And a washcloth does a better job than most exfoliating soaps - without clogging up your drain. Bonus tip: wash your face with a clean washcloth (with mild bar soap or face wash) every day - cleaning and exfoliating regularly will help clear up your skin.

If you use a bath pouf, it must be replaced at least every 3-4 weeks (preferably more often), rinsed thoroughly after use, and dried completely and kept dry between uses. You will still need a clean washcloth every shower for your face and your butt.

Rinse your washcloth and/or pouf often. You don’t want to move the stuff you just cleaned off one part of your body, to another part. After doing one section, rinse your washcloth/pouf and reapply soap/body wash.

Go from least to most gross when cleaning your body. Always wash your face first (with mild soap or face wash, not body wash), then rinse your cloth and move to other parts. Every part of your skin needs active washing. Always wash your genitals second-last and between your buttcheeks last. If you use a bath pouf, use it for everything EXCEPT your face, genitals, and butt. Only a washcloth that goes through the laundry between uses should be used there.

Genitals require special care. If you have testicles, make sure you clean all around them, including behind them. If you have a foreskin, it’s important to clean underneath it. If you have a vulva, clean the outside (where hair grows) with soap and use only clean (not soapy) water on your mucous membranes (where the texture is a little different to other skin) - you can use clean fingers to clean inside your vulva. Make sure you rinse around the clitoral hood, if you have one. However, you should never clean inside your actual vagina unless a doctor has told you otherwise - it cleans itself via discharge.

Feet require active cleaning. Again, standing in the shower might get a little dirt off, but feet especially need scrubbing and soap/body wash to get clean. You can use a separate washcloth for your feet, or many people use brushes or other tools made especially for cleaning feet. Do not use something you’ve used on your feet for any other part of your body.

Your shower must be kept clean and dry in between uses or it will grow mould, mildew, bacteria, and/or fungus. Don’t leave wet cloths in the shower anywhere they aren’t likely to dry quickly. Throw out old bottles asap. Replace shower curtain liners every few months. If you hate cleaning your shower, try using a daily shower cleaner spray like this every time you get out of the tub.

It can be awkward and uncomfortable to talk about Hygeine, especially if you’re a teen or an adult and you feel like everyone else knows rules you don’t. But it’s important to learn how to take good care of your body, even if it takes a little longer than you’d like.

Feel free to send your hygeine questions to @howtoimpersonateanadult!
