Looking for style inspiration

Hey! I'm kinda tired of doom scrolling though pictures of shirtless guys, but i can't seem to find any blogs/subreddits featuring pictures of man street wear fashion. I would like to look at trendy street wear pics, or what guys wear at techno events and parties.

Any of you could share some Tumblr blogs or subreddit you know that could provide inspiration, please? Thanks in advance 🙏

My ass sweats too much

My ass sweats so bad that my boxers seems like I dropped a small cup of water on it. Deodorant doesn't help. It's really annoying and I'm afraid to wear gray sweatpants in public lmao.

I've seen people recommending some powder but I don't know it's available in Europe.

Considering between different variations of beds between Malm, Songesand, gladstad and Brimnes and could use some advice!

Which of these beds should I get?

Should I use the luroy slats and box springs with them to make them more stable and also higher? I know I can get the slats with the bed frame but I'll be getting the box springs and mattress separately in a set or just box springs separately and mattress separately.

Here are the beds I'm considering.

1.) the two malms

A) https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/malm-bed-frame-high-black-brown-luroey-s69009475/#content

B)https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/malm-high-bed-frame-2-storage-boxes-black-brown-luroey-s69176285/#content

2.) the two Songesand

A) https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/songesand-bed-frame-brown-luroey-s59241069/#content

B) https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/songesand-bed-frame-with-2-storage-boxes-brown-luroey-s29241141/#content

So one question right off the bat is, are the two drawers the ONLY difference between the two variations of Malm and Songesand? Because at that point is it even worth it to get the drawers considering it's more than $130 more expensive just for two little drawers? Or are there more differences? Wouldn't it be better to just get a dresser or other drawers separately which will be much better and have a lot more space?

3.) gladstad https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/gladstad-upholstered-bed-2-storage-boxes-kabusa-light-gray-s89406799/#

4.) Brimnes https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/brimnes-bed-frame-with-storage-headboard-black-luroey-s79129608/

What would you recommend I get? Which would be the better purchase? Honestly storage is NOT a factor because I have enough space in my home and I can just invest in actual drawers, so I'm really just looking for the best purchase for the actual BED itself.

Appropriate bag for the office?

Hello, I'm currently a college student looking for an all around bag that would also be professional enough for office internships/future jobs. I have had a black dayowl backpack for the past three years that's a bit worn in and I was wondering if a satchel would look more put together. I have been looking at this satchel but am indecisive about whether all black or navy would be more presentable for professional settings.

I really like satchels, but would it be weird if an intern strolled in with this or are backpacks a better option?

Looking to find my brand of underwear- Considering Saxx

I do a lot of outdoor stuff but I have struggled with chafing all my life. I finally got some underwear with the ball pouch (Pair of Thieves) but in my opinion their pouch is terrible. My dick is extremely uncomfortable in them to the point I don't even wear them because I basically have to have it bent in some way to fit. I cannot fit my balls and dick in there, and there is no where for my dick to go unless I awkwardly stuff it at a 90 degree angle to the left where it is basically just laying below the waistband, which as you can imagine is terrible.

I came across Saxx and their pouch looks better and not so constricting. Has anyone else experienced the issue I had with Pair of Thieves or another brand?? Is Saxx better? I do a lot of climbing and hiking and am nervous that I will just waste more money on underwear that doesn't do what I need. I usually do synthetic boxer briefs to help prevent the chafe, but my balls get super saggy when I'm out hiking/climbing/running and are probably the main contributor to my chafing issues, so I need to secure them. Of course I use powder and glide, but it would be nice to have the extra layer of protection because a 5 day hike can be easily ruined by chafing. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a daily hair styling product that helps me style my fluffy hair without damaging it.

I have a curtain cut hair style, something like this but a very messy version of that https://imgur.com/a/v7VwEMS

What I want is a styling product that will keep hold my hair lightly while not damaging it.

I have trouble keeping my hair down. My hair is much longer than the picture above and very dry and messy. It gets very frizzy and unless I wet my hair it always looks like I just woke up(thats how messy the hair is).

I tried looking for a solution on the internet and there are far too many options and I was even more confused. Gel, Wax, Pomade, Clay, Mousse, Cream..

Looking for a product that

1.I can use daily without damaging or breaking my hair.

2.Holds my hair lightly so it looks like the above picture.

Questions

1.If I go out multiple times a day do you use it every time or just once in the morning?

2.Do you have to shampoo your hair daily to remove this product? Can you sleep with this product in your hair?

3.Does it damage or break your hair?

4.Is it greasy?

5.I also go out multiple times a day so maybe I have to apply that product multiple times a day too?

I live in the netherlands so it would be great if you reccomended a product that I can buy easily from here.

Fashion advice for a burn victim

I have burns all over my arms due to a cooking accident a few months. There is no injury left and at this point the scars are nothing more than an unaesthetic thing. They are only in my arms. What can i do to look good even with them?

Is there a way I could pay someone to help me to a complete makeover?

So far all I've been doing is work and study and have exhausted myself to the point I stopped taking care of myself.

considering my face/body I don't think I'm very attractive. I'd like someone to give me proper tips from my hair to eyes, skin, lips, beard, gym, fashion sense, hygiene, probably even mannerisms, etc.

I've never really given much attention to myself ans have "let myself go" so it seems very overwhelming all at once and I guess I'd prefer a more "individual" mentorship/guidance when it comes to this.

Need advice. all I do is work and sleep

Need advice: all I do is work, eat, sleep, repeat

I’m part of a family business so my schedule is as follows

M-F: 8:30 to 7 Sat: 10 to 4 Sun: 11-4

I wake up tired and dreading to go to work and after I come home I smoke weed, and binge YouTube until 11 or so

I don’t really do much else and I feel like I’m in a rut. I want to workout, meditate, and do things I like doing but I always fall back into this cycle, I need some help

Should I lie to the doctor

(16M)

Symptoms:

I have been experiencing pain under my left testicle, near or on the epididymis. The pain is triggered by touch or physical activity and when I sit or sleep in an uncomfortable position. The level of the pain is influenced by the amount of weight I lift or the amount of pressure applied to the testicle, it doesn’t hurt unless I touch it.

Pain Timeline:

The pain has been persisting for approximately 3 weeks, but it has slightly become less intense.

Other Conditions:

In addition to the pain, I have a small hydrocele in the same area as the pain. It is not firm to the touch and does not change sizes, indicating that it may be a non-communicating hydrocele. I noticed its presence 3 weeks ago when it initially felt swollen and firm, but now it’s not. the hydrocele itself does not cause pain, the testicle does.

History:

3 weeks ago…….. I was lifting and then hit my testicle with the dumbbell, I felt pain in the stomach, and felt like I was about to vomit.

So now that you know the story, should I lie/withhold information from the doctor?

Because I am aware of the cause of my symptoms, which resulted from accidentally hitting my left testicle with a dumbbell, I am contemplating whether or not to disclose this information to the doctor. My hesitation stems from the desire to increase the likelihood of receiving an ultrasound examination. If I were to inform the doctor about the injury, they might not consider it an emergency case of testicular torsion, given that the symptoms have persisted for three weeks. In such a scenario, the doctor might advise me to manage the pain and wait for it to improve, unless it significantly affects my daily life. However, by withholding the information about the injury, the doctor may consider the cause of my symptoms as unknown, potentially increasing the chances of undergoing an ultrasound examination,

But if I withhold information, the doctor is unlikely to believe me and may think I'm lying.

Doctor: So you're telling me the pain suddenly appeared and hasn't gone away for three weeks?

Me: ummm……yeah, exactly.

Furthermore, if the doctor proceeds with an ultrasound and finds no abnormalities, because I know they won't detect any changes in the structure of my left testicle. Because I recognise how my testicle feels…….. I have been doing self-examinations daily for a year. Despite this, I feel the need for an ultrasound because I’m a hypochondriac, but if the ultrasound only reveals a small hydrocele that isn't even visible, it may lead the doctor to doubt my honesty. It's not that I'm concerned about the doctor's opinion or afraid of the examination itself. rather, I'm embarrassed of my parents not believing me, and I can’t discuss the situation with my parents. I need someone to strongly convince me, as I currently do not plan to go to the doctor due to this embarrassment.

It’s a dilemma

Tell truth: unlikely to get an ultrasound, go back home and wait the pain out until it gets better, which it is already getting better.

Tell lie: likely to get an ultrasound, but when I do there wouldn’t be any evidence and would be perceived as a liar.

Good high quality work underwear for sensitive skin?

I've wondering If there's a company that makes good, high quality work underwear for those with sensitive skin? And maybe a preventive to chafing? I often work anywhere from 7-14 hours on my feet, and without any sort of pad between the top of my boxers and my skin, it tends to dig into my skin, and either give me a rash or an assortment of annoying pain that lasts the entire day. I wear darn tough wool socks so price isn't necessarily a issue. I've heard duluth amachilo boxers are good but I've never heard of them. Is that true?

Boxers for slim jeans that don't bunch up

So I'm an out and out millennial who still wears slim fit jeans most of the time. (I know, old hat but I'll never be convinced by these big baggy parachute trousers which are now the trend).

But whatever boxers I wear underneath always bunch up, end up digging in and becoming uncomfortable.

I normally just wear the CK standard type but they're quite bad for it. Bjorn Borg cotton stretch ones are really comfy but also roll up. Tried a few other brands too, but don't see much different.

Anyone have any recommendations for brands that are comfy and don't do this under slim fit jeans? Step one look like they might but I've seen mixed reviews!

Underwear or nay? Seems like a choice between hygiene and comfort

I get super annoyed by undees. The bunching, the elastic band, the tightness, the whole feeling. I'm always adjusting.

I tried going commando, and it pretty much solves this for me. A lot more comfortable. BUT, downsides are the seams inside pants can be a new source of discomfort, and you have to wash your pants afterward (just like washing underwear after one use).

So now I'm trying to figure out how to make going commando better. I haven't found any great solutions, so I decided to try and make my own thing. It's basically a liner for pants, meant to simulate going commando, but it's removable for washing. I think of it as making the pants wear the underwear, so I don't have to.

Does anyone relate to this struggle?

Have you found any good solutions?

Basically, I'm trying to figure out if there is already better way to go about this. If not, maybe I will keep working on this project.

It's been tough to explain with words, so I made a little/dumb explainer video. Hopefully worth a laugh at least:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzs4Ctq03w4

Disclaimer: Like anyone who makes a thing, I wonder if this could be a real product someday. There is a link in the youtube description connecting to a super basic website that is just there to explain, and at most collect interest. Super early stages here. For now, it's mainly a personal quest to be more comfortable in my own skin.

How to remove white deodorant stains on black clothing?

So I’ve been looking around the internet and Reddit to try and find some clues as to why these gif awful white splotches appear on the underarms of my black shirts after washing. Everywhere has said that my deodorant, degree ultra clear, is the best to defend against stains but I’m still left annoyed after each wash and seeing the same thing again and again. I’ve recently moved to a college dorm and have been using their washers and driers, it’s possible that they have something to do with it.

These are all band shirts that are basically irreplaceable and need some help on fighting these stains.

Should I avoid drying them on high heat? Switch to a new deodorant? Switch detergents? I’m at a loss!

Any and all help would be amazing!

Hard Wearing Boxer Trunks

My job means I regularly walk over 50k steps a day at least and I can never find a pair of underwear that will last more than 3-4 months without the gusset getting holes and chafing the inner thighs.

I thought I'd splash out on a pack of Calvin Kliens and they only lasted a month!

Can anyone recommend a brand that will last?

How to manage your space if you have skin issues?

I have severe eczema, atopic dermatitis, and want to manage my room better for living and hopefully for company to stay over. This condition causes lots of dead skin and sometimes small blood stains to accumulate on the sheets. This subject was not deemed "eczema" enough on the common sense sub for it, so I'm asking here.
I'm back on Tinder, working out, and dieting to get some goals crossed off in 2024. I want to be able to have a remote IT job, and have overnight guests in 2024. A major concern of mine is my room. I know that the right person will overlook a mess in the heat of the moment, but I would like to make it as easy as possible for them.

Has anyone ever beaten laziness? How did they do it?

Laziness is such a self-serving, vicious cycle. I’m lazy because it feels good to be lazy, I’m not going to beat laziness because I’m too lazy to read about how or do the work required, etc

Just feels like a mountain that I have to climb yet it’s also tied around my ankle. Has anyone ever beaten laziness and gotten past that point in their life?

Looking for a winter jacket

I will take a road trip from Wyoming to Vancouver for 8 days in late March. The weather outlook as of now looks to be around 5 C degrees to 0 C. I also want the jacket for camping in cold regions in Mexico, around -5 C to -10 C. I have a budget of 300 USD, but willing to pay more if needed. As of now, I like the Patagonia Jackson Glacier Jacket and the Isthmus Parka. The North Face has some jackets like the McMurdo, and Carhartt has some nice options too.

Need an eternal trimmer

I'm sick and tired of low-quality trimmers.

Last time I spent $100 for a trimmer and it still turned out to be mostly plastics inside (which, of course broke days after warranty ended). Then I had to repair the holder myself, because 100$, and then the button broke. I threw it away!

I want something like in the old days - indestructible, almost entirely metal, non-corrosive, no matter if it weighs a ton - like my grandpa's shaver, that could be used for shearing sheep and a brutal murder as well!

I couldn't find any myself, because for some reason in the past few weeks the search engines are dogshit, sooo.... help a brother out?
