11 AristotlePagaltzis 1 After attending a [WLUG] meeting for the first time, StephenHeise believes that some members of the [WLUG] need to give their PersonalHygiene some attention. With that in mind…

11 AristotlePagaltzis 3 ''Yes, I know this is not finished – I’m working on it.'' —StephenHeise

11 AristotlePagaltzis 5 ''The more pressing factor here is not BO, it’s the collective amounts of BO on clothes that are not washed more often than kernels are compiled.'' —JamesSpooner
12 IanMcDonald 6
7 ''It's pretty hard when I compile kernels on average 5 times a day when working on the kernel actively.'' —IanMcDonald

11 AristotlePagaltzis 9 !! What Is BO?
1 StephenHeise 10
11 BO stands for Body Odor. It is the smell of your body. It is caused by bacteria that live on your body. The more bacteria there are the stronger the smell is.
12
11 AristotlePagaltzis 13 !! Why Is BO Bad?
1 StephenHeise 14
11 AristotlePagaltzis 15 BO is bad for a number of reasons. Firstly, a lot of people do not like the smell of other people’s BO.

11 AristotlePagaltzis 17 !! How Do I Prevent BO?

19 By showering and using deodorant.

11 AristotlePagaltzis 21 !! Why Should I Shower?
1 StephenHeise 22
23 Showering removes BO, dirt, bacteria and dead skin from your body. Removing BO is important because other people will not enjoy the smell of your BO. If you have strong BO people will tend to avoid contact with you. Removing dirt, bacteria and dead skin increases your health. Bacteria eat your dead skin. So by having a shower you not only remove the bacteria themselves, you also help to remove their food supply. It is important to remove bacteria because they cause BO and will cause an infection to any cuts or scrapes you may receive.

25 You will also have no hope of scoring with the opposite sex and that (despite what you may think) is an extremely bad thing.
26
11 AristotlePagaltzis 27 !! How Often Should I Shower?
1 StephenHeise 28
4 LalaPopo 29 Ideally you should shower at least twice a week and after any physical exercise. You may get away with once every week but any longer than that and you will develop BO. Once month or year is definitely not recommended.

11 AristotlePagaltzis 31 !! Should I Shower once or twice a day?
6 CraigBox 32
11 AristotlePagaltzis 33 Showering once a day is acceptable. (In the case that you don’t much physical activity or labourous work, showering once every two days is fine.) Often a combination of daytime exercise (biking to university, school or work, for example) and evening social activities suggest showering twice.
7 StuartYeates 34
11 AristotlePagaltzis 35 Experiance suggests that humans are not soluble, so you don’t have to worry about being washed away.
10 LindsayDruett 36
11 AristotlePagaltzis 37 [OTOH], more hot water = higher electricity or gas bills. Keep shower time down to the required time.
1 StephenHeise 38
11 AristotlePagaltzis 39 !! How Do I Shower?
1 StephenHeise 40
11 AristotlePagaltzis 41 First, get yourself a face cloth (also known as a flannel), a sponge or a loufe. Beginners may find that a face cloth is easier and more intuitive to use. Find out from your flat mates what the deal with soap or body wash is. In some flats everyone uses communal soap or body wash, in others everyone has their own or body wash. It is considered very inappropriate behavior to use someone else’s personal soap or body wash without asking. If in doubt, get you own.
1 StephenHeise 42
11 AristotlePagaltzis 43 Go to your bathroom. Close the door. You may feel more comfortable if you lock the door. Next, without getting into the actual shower, examine it. It will either have two taps or a single mixer. If it has two taps determine which the hot tap is and which the cold tap is. The cold tap will have a “C” on it and/or a blue marker. The other will be the hot tap will have an “H” on it and/or a red marker. Turn the cold tap on about half. Then turn the hot tap on full. If you have a mixer, simply turn it to about warm. While waiting for the water to warm up remove all of your clothes. Don’t be embarrassed – most people do this every day. Adjust the cold tap or the mixer so that water is at a comfortable temperature. With a bit of practice you find this very easy.
10 LindsayDruett 44
11 AristotlePagaltzis 45 Please note, in countries like France, you have the “C” tap and the “F” tap, the “C” tap is not the cold tap, it’s the hot tap. The “F” tap is the cold tap.
1 StephenHeise 46
11 AristotlePagaltzis 47 Now get in the shower. At first you should just enjoy the warm water flowing over your body. Next, wet your face cloth, sponge or loufe (here after referred to as your body cleaner). Also wet your soap. Be careful – soap is very slippery when it is wet. If you ever find youself in a public shower with other guys and you drop the soap __do not__ bend over to pick it up. Just leave it there. Now, lather up your body cleaner. If you have soap, rub the soap with your body cleaner in such a way as it “soaks up” a mixture of soap and water. If you have body wash simply pour a small amount directly onto the body cleaner. Now scrub yourself, quite literally, from head to foot. Don’t scrub too hard or skin will go red and hurt. Close your eyes and mouth while scrubbing your face. Don’t forget to clean your ears (this may cause your hearing to improve). Your back may be hard to reach, but it is important to scrub it as well.
1 StephenHeise 48
49 Once this is completed, rinse all the soap of your body. Now is an excellent time to consider washing your hair. If the shower has two taps turn the hot tap off first, then quickly turn the cold tab off. If the shower has a mixer, turn it quickly to the off position. Now step out the shower. Grab your towel and thoughly dry yourself (especially between your toes). Now is a great time to apply deodorant. Put your clothes on (a clean set is recommended).
50
11 AristotlePagaltzis 51 If you have been in the shower for a long time, you may find that your finger tips and toe tips will “swell up”. Don’t worry about this – it is perfectly normal and will go away shortly after you get out of the shower.

11 AristotlePagaltzis 57 !! How Often Should I Use Deodorant?
1 StephenHeise 58
11 AristotlePagaltzis 59 This depends on your skin type and the environment in which you live, the amount you perspire changed due to environmental factors such as heat and humidity. In hot humid environments it is advisable to use a spray on deodorant up to 3 times a day.
1 StephenHeise 60
61 In normal conditions spray on deodorant can be used once daily.

11 AristotlePagaltzis 80 !! What’s the difference between Deodorant and Anti-Persperant?
7 StuartYeates 81
11 AristotlePagaltzis 82 Deodorant aims to reduce BO. Anti-Persperant aims to reduce persperation. Many products do both. Not all products work equally well for all people. In particular cyclists who cycle to school/work are often better to go for a “Sports” brand. These brands have fewer volitile active ingrediants.
