Do You Wash Your Willy?
Okay. We can only hope no one has ever asked you this. Maybe it's the kind of question you are better off getting ahead of. Something you should be able to answer without hesitation, when you're asked by the right person. So really think about this:
Do you Wash your Willy?
The answer for many men is: Yes, but not often enough. In fact a 1500-person survey by the The Derm Review revealed that one in five men only wash their junk twice-a-week-or-less - far fewer than the once-per-day clean that dermatologists recommend.
And many of those men, even when they are giving their genitals a good once over, are doing it wrong. They're washing their penis too often. Or they're using the wrong technique. Or the wrong product. Or, for uncircumcised men, they're not getting at the sensitive area under the foreskin.
Which is where we come in.
Here at Mr Trunk we have developed an intimate wash that is far milder than your standard body wash so you can have the peace of mind to use it daily. And unlike something like, say, a bar of soap, it its specially formulated for this task, with a pH that matches your intimate area. The skin of your genitals have a slightly lower pH than the skin on the rest of your body, at around 5.5. That means slightly alkaline products (with a pH over 8) like soap can potentially disrupt your natural biome. This can cause harm the health of your skin over time.
In fact studies have indicated that soap with a high pH can dehydrate the skin, causing irritation and an alteration in bacterial flow - definitely problems to avoid in under-the-trouser-region.
Why Mr Trunk?
We believe in transparency. That is why we list on our box, very clearly, in very easy-to-understand English with big text, all of our ingredients. We do not hide from the truths of the self-care industry which is this: cosmetics need chemicals and some of those chemicals have to be preservatives. We do not make questionable claims about "natural", or "naturally sourced" ingredients.
So when we say we have created a wash that is perfect for cleaning your intimate areas: we mean it! To give you a little extra confidence, we've also provided for each ingredient a link to one of our favourite websites incidedoder.
