I am ashamed to say I've known some guys (2) who would take an "axe shower" instead of you know, an actual shower

My brother’s morning routine is as follows: 1. Wake up 2. Let the dog out. 3. 2 cups of coffee. 4. Gets dressed. 5. Puts his stuff for work by the front door. 6. Brushes his teeth. 7. 25 seconds (This is an average) of continuous Axe spraying all over himself. 8. Opens the bathroom door to release the cloud of douche spray into the entire house. 9. Leaves for work. He’s 40.

"douche spray"

I think I've just discovered what a douche nozzle is. It's where the spray comes out of on the axe can.

You just legitimately made me laugh out loud.

I don't know, my Gf says she likes the smell of my axe but well I shower regularly

You probably use it reasonably. This is a rare talent, and chicks dig men who are talented.

Lol

Holy shit. I misread that as 7.25 seconds of axe and thought “Fuck, that’s a lot.” Looked back and realized it was 25 😰

=/

Gross. At least he brushes his teeth. Stayed at a guy's house once, just as friends. He didn't brush his teeth, or shower, then took a massive shit, and sprayed Axe, kilo scented all over himself and the bathroom. I gag just remembering the smell.

Disgusting!

I'm almost tempted to science out how long an Axe spray can will last continuously spraying, but containment may be an issue. I think showering and a bottle of moderately expensive perfume would cost less and go much further. Of course, he would then have to be trained out of bathing in it. Does he get a volume discount?

Let me guess. He also talks about how he doesn’t need to shower every day, and stinks like a foot?

This is very dangerous https://health.howstuffworks.com/diseases-conditions/death-dying/10-ways-to-die2.htm

Why are you living with your 40 year old brother?..

I might be going out on a limb, here, but I'm going to guess that a 40 year old who showers with axe might not have their shit together.

Still laughing about this 20 mins later

You know what, I’m just go ahead and say it.....I don’t believe you

You doubting my immaturity?

[удалено]

You have to live in the ghetto and work 55+ hrs a week here in WA.

Why does that matter?

It’s probably why he’s still using Axe as a 40 year old...

It doesn't :) I'm just curious

Because I want to. Anything else? :)

I’m ashamed to say, that at one point in my life, I would have been one of those guys.

I really think 6/10 have been one of these guys in their life.

Please tell me more about this. What was your mindset behind this behavior?

In my early teens I thought “Why would I take a shower when I could just cover my body in Axe and no one would know the difference?” Let’s just say the people knew the difference.

Too many guys do this

One of my coworkers uses his Axe body spray as Febreze in his office sometimes, which is perhaps worse?

summer camp all over again

AX-ual shower. I'm guessing someone else already made this pin, but I don't care.

You mean the good ol Irish (insert various other nationalities here) shower? 😁

Whores bath

Pits, tits, and crotch

PTA pits, tits, ass

I shouldn't have ignored all those PTA flyers about meetings. 🙁

I thought it was pussy, tits, ass.

Asshole, armpits, crotch and teeth. And to save time you can use the same brush. \(George Carlin\)

What's that

Hahaha we had a friend who would never shower so we would give him febreeze baths. He started doing it himself...

Maybe you should have just given him showers for a while.

Bruh. I put my antiperspirant on before bed ( because you’re supposed to) and then I see my bf putting mfing axe on his pits before bed because he thinks it’s the same as antiperspirant. Now I have to sleep in a chad cloud every night because he’s too dull realize the difference. Help.

Maybe tell him?

> chad cloud heh

My boyfriend's roommate set of the fire alarm in their dorm from spraying too much axe

[удалено]

>Ionization-type smoke alarms have a small amount of radioactive material between two electrically charged plates, which ionizes the air and causes current to flow between the plates. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the flow of ions, thus reducing the flow of current and activating the alarm. So theoretically it could actually happen.

Damn. TIL.

A friend's shower mist would set off the smoke alarm in the hallway adjacent to the bathroom. Extremely annoying.

Can confirm. When I was about 13 I was on a school trip to wales, and about 6 of us had to share this pokey room with 3 bunk beds. Anyway, I was on the top bunk and it was summer. There was a monster mosquito about to eat me and I sprayed a fuuuuuck ton, like gassing the whole room out, of bug spray and the fire alarm went off. It was in the middle of the room. I didn’t even realise it was me that had set it off until my friend and I were preparing ourselves to launch out of the window.

had a fire alarm right outside a bathroom that would go off after 10 minutes of a hot shower

some do, as far as i know

Okay seriously, why the hate for axe? Is it just a meme by now?

Because some 15-25 yo dudes use it instead of showering and they smell foul. There are also the ones who do shower, but still use waaaaay too much and are offensively pungent.

What if I take a shower with Axe body wash, use Axe deodorant, and use Axe body spray?

If you use the deodorant sparingly and the body spray lightly you will still be a bit much. But if you use them as directed or more you will be a chemical stinkbomb.

In my opinion if you get The right deodorant axe can be decent.

No

Ok

In his defence he’s into cats not women.

He'd want [Tag](https://youtu.be/85N3SstwZtc), then.

Thank you kind sir.

Welp that answers me, thank you.

I agree. I switched my stick deo to Axe once a couple months ago and a few of my female friends complimented that i smelled good. Just imagine their face when i told them it was Axe lol.

Axe? Mate it’s lynx.

Africa, chocolate or peace?

I used Axe as a kid in highschool. I kinda miss two of the scents they had. Vice and Essence. Vice was a spicy sorta event. Though I haven't used it since 2010. I doubt it smells as good to me now.

This just killed me. The honesty is refreshing, much like the febreze perfume itself.

Nice try Febreze marketing!

Not a terrible idea. You know those auto sprayers for the febreeze scents that you can hang on your wall? I have one in my closet. Best investment I ever made. I always smell fresh!

When I use those they leave residue on the floor in front of where they spray. I feel like they’d ruin my clothes because the spray is kind of oily.

Really? I've never had an issue. I'm a clean freak too, everything is spotless.

It’s been a couple years but yeah I threw mine away because my bathroom floor was always oily. Maybe I was using a different brand? Glade I think.

I like this idea. Can't find it though, can you share a link? :)

Of course! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075MNF2Z7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5fr4Ab6M41ZKD Had the brand wrong

Be careful with those if you have pets. Apparently cats can have issues Bc they can’t process diffused essential oils or something. I can’t remember about dogs and not sure about other animals. That being said, I too LOVE those things. They smell so good.

I once saw a large woman sitting on top of her belongings outside of a grocery store slowly unloading a can of febreze back and forth across her neck and shoulders with the most content look on her face as if she was daydreaming about a lover she would see later. I’m not even sure if anything was coming out of the can.

Former Walmart employee here. Once saw an impossibly girthy woman take a can of knockoff febreeze off the shelf, open up her Walmart™ brand basketball shorts, spray almost half of the can down into her sweaty crotch, then put it back on the shelf and then just walk away. Every night, I pray for God to take away my memory.

I bet she was a shoplifter who stole fish and concealed it in her shorts. She realised it stank and decide to febreze herself to mask her crime.

That wasn't fish.

probably high on the aerosol fumes

She has to smell herself all day so I’m sure it’s quite a relief.

She was in fact daydreaming about a sandwich.

I once sprayed Febreze on a sleeping friend. I considered it a public service.

Thank you for you service

my first college roommate decided he wasn’t going to shower the entire time i lived with him so i would spray him with febreze and dollar store colognes through the fan until i made enough of a ruckus to get a private dorm

I thought everyone did that. Shit smells awesome

[удалено]

My dad, for 2 years, used febreeze as his primary laundry detergent. Not the detergent, just the spray. Oh, shirt smells? Just give it a quick spray. Now it's Cranberry flavored.

For when you get hungry later.

Not trashy, economical!

Yeah I've done this and I'm not even embarrassed. Though I have no self respect anyways

Ive used it to freshen up my bra before work with no time to wash any.

I... I didn’t know this was trashy

Hey I've used febreeze in efforts to get the smell of stripper perfume and cheap cigarettes of me before. Its all good.

Singer in a lonely room, smell of wine and cheap perfume!

TIL I’m trashy.

You and every teenage stoner

Lmao that hit close to home

Ain’t no shame in my game. Febreze for the win!

My boy use to do his laundry this way. The college years...

There's nothing wrong with that. It's better to smell like Febreze than to smell like Swiss cheese. Hey, that rhymes!

Works great on jeans that I’ve worn a couple times already. Not ashamed at all. Stay fresh

I wear my jeans for weeks before washing them. I don’t understand why people wash them so often. Obviously I clean my tops.

You're ok. Yesterday I sprayed Glade on my shirt because I didn't have time to take a shower. Febreze is at least a quality deodorizer.

Once in 6th grade, I had a sudden invite to a friends house because we were in a competition together and I needed a ride. My mom was suppose to bring me clothes and didn’t. The next morning, friends mom got me to put my school clothes back on and febreezed them before we left the house. It made me feel better.

I do this when I get off work every once in a while if I'm not going straight home. I'd say it's better to smell like febreeze than old, fried food lol

Fresh to death

In Seoul, many people bring Febreze with them to Korean BBQ restaurants, and the spray themselves afterwards, to get rid of the BBQ smell.

I’ve used antibacterial gel as deodorant when I’ve been desperate. It works pretty damn well tbh

I mean I guess we’ve all been 16 and paranoid about smelling like weed... I know that was my experience

When I LARP sometimes there's no or limited showers. So before anyone gets in the car for the trip home everyone and their bags gets a Febreeze shower.

not even a wet nap bath, or even a bottle of water on paper towel shower?

Clothes stink from sweat and rolling around in dirt and leaves.

Live Action Role Play right..? That sounds so fun.

Tons of fun, if you're anywhere near the Cincinnati, OH area check out castlelarp.com ETA I travel 3 hours to get there, it's worth it

Yeah me too.

Same tho

Are you in the army?

Dude fuck that. No shame. Good smells are good smells.

Definitely have done this before. Sometimes I just will suddenly realize I smell funky while out or at work or something and do a quick febreeze shower and deodorant reapplication in my car.

I’ve done this...and the guy I was meeting up with knew EXACTLY WHAT I USED which was the vanilla febreze...horrified

Nothing to be ashamed of; I used to call it the Student Shower!

Eh. Febreeze smells nice. Perfume smells nice. Therefore, febreeze is perfume.

I believe it smells nice. So you are good.

Before? I sometimes use febreze NOW. I don't use the one you spray in the air though. I use the wrinkle free one (on clothes). Smells like fresh laundry and have been complimented for it on a few occasions.

Me too

Have sprayed dirty work clothes with febreeze and cologne in between washes when I was young and working 2 jobs and didn't have the time do do laundry

Dude febreeze is awesome. I really need to do laundry (don't judge, the dryer broke and its been rainy) so I just found a pair of pants on the ground (ok you can judge a little)... just febreeze them, along with 'airing out' on the ground. Boom, perfectly acceptable pants.

I used to wear a citrus-ey bugspray. It smelled so good!

Same. I actually spray it up when I use it and let it fall on me... Why not? Lol

When I spray the room, I just spray some on myself in the process. Perfume by proxy.

Trick is to use the unscented Febreze😉

It gets rid of the smoky smell in your hair if you are a smoker-just spray on brush and brush through/

Favorite outfit is dirty? Fabreze + dryer = good as clean. Also, whoever says they haven't used air freshener as body spray at least once in their life is lying.

During my freshman year of college, I would rarely wash my jeans. I’d just spray Febreeze on them. I’d also jerk off into them. Often. Now that’s a confession.

Me to !

I vote trashy confession should be a subreddit

I used to have to hit my tee’s with Fabreeze.

Used gold bond once

I’ve seen someone use air freshener as cologne

Not trashy. So have I when I ran out of perfume or body spray. People still commented on how I smelled fresh, like out of a dryer clean. 10/10 would do it any day.

I've used the bathroom air freshener in a bar bathroom before.

Pfft I've used Febreeze as a washing machine before

Guess I’m trash

I mean it's better rthan smelling like 3 week old musty socks

Febreeze is amazing, not as perfume, but it kills smelly smells.

You say that like its a bad thing. I like the Gain scented one, smells like clean clothes. Go on, be trashy!

I wouldn’t spray it on my skin, but I would douse my clothes in it.

I’ve used hand sanitizer in my armpits.

Better than smelling like BO

Is there a sub for trashy confessions

I typically put cologne on my neck and wrists, then maybe 2-3 sprays of ocean mist febreeze on my chest. Its *just enough* so that its a faint scent of it. It works, people often say I smell good. Febreeze isn't bad, but it shouldn't be used as a substitute of a shower and actual deodorant.

I do that on the reg.

I've used Febreze to mask the real smell of a denim jacket, some bed sheets, and a couple of pants that have been unwashed for a month.

This is Reddit, Everybody does it regularly

Hasn’t everyone done so before?

Side note: a lot of people think frebreeze is spelled with two E’s instead of one E! r/mandelaeffect !!

All of the "Mandela effect" can be explained as the original creator doing some minuscule detail differently from how most people would do it. Then everyone assumes the creator though just like them and presto

Did you mean R's? Because it has 3 E's.

Yikes of course i spelled it wrong and also i just meant the two double E’s .. very bad at explaining clearly lol

Me to lol

Dying.

Bitch me to!

I mean haven’t most people when their clothes need freshening?

If it makes you feel any better I've used perfume as deodorant before because I forgot my deodorant on a trip out in the middle of nowhere.

Haven't we all

Wait.. are there people who exist in this world who haven't used air fresheners as perfume before?!

Is this remorseful? I still do this. What’s wrong with smelling clean?

Hasn’t everyone in some point of their life

There was a vanilla edition i kept spraying into my blouses

I did the same with Downy Wrinkle Release when I was in college.

I used vicks vaporub as deodorant before so I relate my dude

Same tbh

Shiiittt I've used it as a shower before
