Crotch Sweat

Dear Suze Q. I’m mortified and refuse to talk to my friends or sisters about how ungodly moist and itchy my pubic hair gets on gym days or when it’s hot and humid. My hairdo frizzles too, but down there, jeez, how frapping embarrassing is that! 

Dear wet down there. Not a sexy topic for cocktail parties, but a critical sticky wicket that needs to be laid bare. Because pubes trap sweaty beads of bacteria, trimming and breathable underwear (or none on the right occasion) can help. Don’t use daily panty liners because they suck in the sweat and increase the problem, and never use antiperspirant, scented sprays, talcum powder, or diaper rash creams that screw up the natural bacterial balance. Finely ground cornstarch-based powder may dry the area -avoid clumps, very unattractive. -SQ
