Subject: My personal hygiene habits

So, this is something I've wanted to write for a while now but I never really knew where to post it. I really didn't want to use Reddit, since that place can be toxic af, with all the shaming and blaming that goes on there and the general condescending attitudes. I don't know if this is exactly the right place or not but it seems close enough.

First, some background. I am an only child, raised by my dad. I've always been a bit socially awkward and nerdy, not a tomboy but I also never fit in with the stuckup superficial girls who spend 5 hours doing their makeup and causing drama and such. I never dressed all fancy, but not sloppy either, just normal, and I was one of the few girls you'd find playing D&D or card games with the nerds in school at lunch time, that kind of thing. I've been told I'm cute, but I know I'm no supermodel (and I don't want that kind of attention anyway). My dad worked in IT, and being nerdy myself I ended up getting a degree in computer science with a minor in English. I'm 28 now and work as a tech writer for a medium-sized company in a small Canadian city. I love my job and consider myself to be well-educated and intelligent.

Now, my poor Dad. I love him dearly and he's an amazing father who did his best, but he knew nothing about raising a girl or teaching me how to be a girl, including proper female hygiene. I've learned most of it on my own through trial and error, and if I'm dating someone I try to keep myself presentable and clean, but when I'm single I get lazy and fall back on my old habits (or lack thereof) from growing up. My job allows me to work from home much of the time (writing), which makes it even worse. I get really lazy about things like showering, changing my clothes, wiping myself and generally keeping myself clean. There have been times when I've literally just worn the same pajamas all week long without even showering if I didn't have to go out anywhere.

So the disgusting details... I basically never wipe when I pee, and when I poop I sometimes give a quick wipe to make sure there's nothing big hanging back there and sometimes I don't bother at all. Most of my underwear have stains even when they're clean, except for a few sexier pieces that I only wear when I'm seeing someone. I mostly wear basic plain but comfy panties, cotton or nylon, and they get pretty dirty after a couple days. Even most of my socks look dirty even when they're washed. I do a lot of my work sitting cross-legged on my bed or couch with my laptop in front of me, and in that position I can often smell myself (my butt, vajayjay, feet, or general body smell). And, I actually kinda like that. It doesn't turn me on or anything, I just find my own smell nice and it makes me feel good, comfortable, at ease. And clothes you've worn for a couple days have loosened up and are worn-in, and all that together just feels so comfy and good. I do laundry about once every 1-2 months, and wash my bed sheets maybe once a year unless someone else is going to be in bed with me. I love the smell and feel of a well worn bed and dirty clothes.

The way you get used to things as a kid is sometimes really hard to change as an adult, and I don't really like change. I don't know what will happen when someday I meet someone I'm interested in making a life together with. I suppose (hope) the right person for me will be understanding and accepting and I won't have to hide or change my personal habits to accommodate them. I like the way I live and I'm happy to finally share my personal little secret. Thanks for reading!

Amy
