Is it better to shave your balls hard or soft?

It's important to stretch your ball skin while shaving it. That way, the skin will be taut — as opposed to soft and shriveled — which makes for a much safer shave. Shave with gentle strokes. Then, finish up with something soothing.

You’ve thought about it, sure, but the idea of shaving your balls sounds better on paper than it does in reality — mainly because they’re fragile, and, well, your balls. But it’s not impossible. First, a very important tip before you get started: “It’s easier to shave your balls when they’re loose-y goose-y [which they’ll be in a warm shower], because the razor can’t get to the hairs stuck in the nooks and crannies when they’re shriveled up,” explains Melanie Mari, owner and trained manscaper at Bare Skin Studio. With that trade secret up your sleeve, let’s take a step-by-step look at the best way to shave your balls:

Step #1: Trim the Bulk

But be careful doing so: “Don’t use electric clippers directly on your balls because you’ll catch skin,” Mari warns. “If your ball hair is really long, float the clippers over the skin to remove some length.” Taking down the bulk will keep long hairs from getting stuck in your razor when you go to wet shave, making the job a whole lot easier.

Step #2: Take a Hot Shower

Shaving your gummy bears in a hot shower is beneficial for two reasons: First, the warm water will soften the particularly coarse pubic hairs. The second goes back to that tip we mentioned right off the bat — the warmth will cause you balls to droop, stretching the skin and making it easier to shave.

Step #3: Grease Your Balls

Not with actual grease, of course. “I recommend using a Shave Butter, rather than a shaving cream,” Mari says. “That way, you can see exactly what you’re doing down there.” This is especially important when you’re wet shaving your balls, since as everyone with balls knows, they’re particularly prone to nicks and cuts.

Step #4: Stretch ‘Em Out

It’s important to stretch your ball skin while shaving it. That way, the skin will be taut — as opposed to soft and shriveled — which makes for a much safer shave. Shave with gentle strokes. Then, finish up with something soothing. “I recommend using a Post-Shave Dew down there once you’re done shaving,” Mari says. This can be a life saver, since the skin surrounding your testes is extremely sensitive and prone to irritation. Having a mega-smooth undercarriage might not be something you brag about to your friends, but knowing how to shave your balls like a pro saves a lot of time and hassle, and trust us when we say you’ll get better at it every time. Stay smooth and stick with it.

How can I repair my prostate health?

Wang offers eight tips for a healthier prostate: Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity is linked to several prostate health issues, including prostate cancer. ... Eat more vegetables. ... Reduce consumption of red meat. ... Know your risk and get tested. ... Exercise regularly. ... Hydrate daily. ... Manage stress. ... Stop smoking.

In the U.S., about 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. “After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men, but this disease can be prevented with simple lifestyle changes or detected early,” says Dr. Gerald Wang, chief of urology at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens and assistant professor of clinical urology at Weill Cornell Medicine. “An adult male who follows dietary guidelines, schedules regular checkups, and receives recommended screenings can live a longer and healthier life.” To raise awareness about preventable conditions among men, Dr. Wang offers eight tips for a healthier prostate:

1. Maintain a healthy weight.

Obesity is linked to several prostate health issues, including prostate cancer. A balanced diet and consistent exercise are important for a healthy prostate and maintaining a healthy weight.

2. Eat more vegetables.

A diet rich in green, leafy vegetables is important for a healthy prostate. Vitamins and antioxidants found in vegetables keep you and your prostate healthy. Try adding lettuce (romaine is among the most nutritious varieties), spinach, kale, and broccoli to your meals each day.

3. Reduce consumption of red meat.

Heavy consumption of red meat has been associated with PhIP, a chemical compound released when red meat is charred, which can cause an increased risk of prostate cancer. By eating red meat only on special occasions, you can reduce your risk.
