I was recently cuddling with @Sweetmama and it was a wonderful and very nourishing cuddle experience! We were talking all different aspects of life and while in the flow of our conversations, somehow we landed into the topic of how hygiene plays into overall cuddling experience. Usually most of us are cognizant towards good hygiene each day and especially when we plan on connecting / cuddling with someone.
I thought why not I reach out all my cuddler friends and ask what each of them expects from their cuddle buddies when it comes to good hygiene ! To my surprise I got overwhelming responses with some very unique and interesting insights. Thanks to ALL my cuddle friends for responding ! Not only I got overwhelming responses, but I was asked by most of you that they would LOVE to know what others have to say on this topic. So I decided why not to compile all the responses I got and write it all out here in the forum what everyone had to share. Hopefully it would be valuable and of-course if you have something unique to share, be my guest to add further.
Based on all the responses received, I decided to bucket them into few hygiene expectation categories like Most Important & Popular, Most Unique, Nice-to-have, Eye-catcher, and Mood Busters !
Most Important & Popular
- Freshly or recently showered
- Washed & Clean hands
- Clean Clothes
- Brushed Teeth and mouth wash
- No bad mouth odor - should NOT smell garlic or onions or stinky food
- Trimmed under arms, not necessarily shaved
- Use good judgement of hygiene
Most Unique
- Don't be half-shaved causing the beards feel like piercing (does not apply for beard bearers). Beard stubble hurts. One of the pro cuddlers said it very nicely: Not once it's grown out a bit and lays flat, but it's like sandpaper before that. Not saying it doesn't look good, but if you choose to wear it please don't rub it against me
- It's all about the natural clean body scent. If your natural body smell is good, it would make the cuddle experience much better!
Nice-to-have
- Very little Deodorant or cologne (just a dab but not cheap quality)
- Neat Clothing (NOT necessarily same as - Well ironed clothes , unless I guess you are out for event)
- Clean hair or hair style
- Clean cut nails
Eye-Catcher
- One of the professional cuddler has created a basket of items in my bathroom to provide clients with items they may need!
- One of the professional cuddler said she showers before every session, and between sessions if she has more than one in a day.
- Couple cuddlers said they make sure the sheets and comforter are freshly washed for each cuddle session!
- Few cuddlers shared that colognes and perfumes make their allergies trigger
Mood Busters - Cause for discontinuation with clients
- Bad body odor
- Sweat
- Bad breath
- Anything visibly unhygienic
Hope you guys will find this info as a good share!
Happy Cuddling! Healthy & Hygienic Cuddling!
