5 Tried And Tested Ways to Prevent Body Odor

The usual problem that we encounter during summer is body odor, specially with my kids who are very very active. We used to believe that it is because of sweat. A few readings online told me that sweat does not have a smell. So where do the odor comes from?

You know there’s this thing called odor-causing germs. When we sweat, the bacteria on our skin digests our sweat and that’s what us smell bad. Siguro pwede nating sabihin, yung amoy natin, utot ng bacteria yun.

5 Tried And Tested Ways to Prevent Body Odor

Take a bath. During the days that is cool, take a bath once a day. During hot seasons, you should do it twice a day. Taking a bath gets rid of odor causing germs in your skin. Take extra special care on these parts of the body as these are the body parts where odor is most likely to occur:

  • feet
  • groin
  • armpits
  • under breast
  • behind the ears
  • neck and back of neck

As you take a bath, make sure that you soap these body parts more than usual. Use soap like Safeguard as it can kill 99.9% germs.
Clothing. Use clothes that are light in terms of material and color. Darker clothes attracts more heat thus making you sweat more. As we have mentioned earlier, odor causing germs loves sweat.

Use fabric conditioner that can help you with odor causing germs. We use Downy Antibac with the power of Safeguard. Tried and tested in helping me manage my kids body odor. When we started using it., I noticed that even after playing in the sun, my kids does not smell that bad.

Downy Antibac with the power of Safeguard is available in supermarkets nationwide. You can also buy it online at Safeguard Official Online store in Lazada: Click here for the link of the store. 

Use deodorant. How does deodorant works? It works by killing the bacteria on your skin and also works in a way that it helps you reduce your sweat. What’s the best type of deodorant? tawas for me! It’s antibacterial and clog the skin pores. It works just by eliminating the odor causing germs.

Drink more water. It works like magic to us. When kids are well hydrated, they smell better, meaning they don’t smell as bad as when theyre drinking colored drinks. So we try to avoid that as much as possible. The goal is for them to drink 2 liters of water a day.

Yes it is true that people who sweat more are more prone to body odor but always remember that it is caused by odor causing germs. We have to be #germprotektado para protektado din tayo sa baho.

Price of Painless Circumcision Philippines

My first born just had his circumcision yesterday. And since I posted his picture in my IG, people has been asking me for the Painless Circumcision Price. Wala din kameng idea actually, we just called a few hospitals and learned about the difference in the prices.

UPDATE! UPDATE! Last year, for my 2nd born’s tuli, we learned that SAA Medical Clinic actually charges 8500 for circumcision. The 2500 price range is promo only during summer months (March-April I assume). Sa tabi ng SAA is TriCity Hospital and dun na lang siya nagpatuli since the tuli there all year round is only 3500 Pesos. 

First hospital we called: Cardinal Santos where tuli is 3500 Pesos. I assume it is painless and laser cut.

Second one is a clinic in C Raymundo Pasig, SAA Medical Clinic. Circumcision is bloodless daw and painless.  Painless tuli is one of our major concerns, kawawa naman ang bagets kung mala pukpok na tuli ang mararanasan nya hehe

We called in the morning and we had a schedule after lunch. We were at the clinic past 1 and we’re out in less than an hour. The circumcision procedure took less than 30 minutes.

This photo was taken after the procedure. And he’s smiling!

So yes, SAA Medical Clinic* painless circumcision procedure is really painless, except for the time when local anesthesia is injected (that according to my son). It is also blood-less since the procedure was done using laser (cut was German cut).

Painless Circumcision Price

Painless Circumcision Price/laser circumcision cost for SAA Medical Clinic is 2500 Pesos. Give them a call for schedule: (02)576-3354

For post circumcision care, you need to buy a few stuff:

  • Antibiotics
  • Pain reliever
  • ointment
  • Sterile Water
  • Gauze and tape
  • Betadine
  • Cotton and cotton buds

For the post care, gumastos ako ng 1500 Pesos… so in total, we spent 4000 Pesos for his circumcision.

Post Circumcision Care 

  1. The patient needs to take a bath daily, clean the wound after taking a bath.
  2. The wound should be wrapped after cleaning for 5 days.
  3. Continue cleaning after 5 days until the wound looks dry.
  4. Nangangamatis is usually a normal occurrence. Don’t panic.

He just cleaned his wound earlier with the help of his daddy.. and so far everything looks good. I’ll update you pag gumaling na.

*SAA Medical Clinic is located at 757 C Raymundo Ave, Maybunga (near PureGold and TriCity Medical Center)

TULI UPDATES:

  • April 13- 5 days after his circumcision:

Totoo pala na hindi dapat babae ang naglilinis ng bagong tuli.. hindi dahil mangangamatis ang bagong tuli. Female have no idea on the physiology of the penis. Hindi gaya kapag kapwa lalaki ang naglilinis, alam nila kung saan masakit or kung paano hahawakan ang penis na hindi nasasaktan ang bata.

Also.. the hardest part (and the most difficult to watch/ hear) eh ang pagtatangal ng gasa. It would be better kung may katulong na maglilinis on this part. Ang isa dahan- dahang aalisin ang gasa while the other one pours sterile water on it.
