Here are the body parts that we don't clean enough

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you don't need to clean it.

Cleanliness and germs have definitely come to the forefront since the pandemic started, but that doesn't we're doing all of the right things when it comes to hygiene. According to a new poll, over half of the people surveyed admit they don't pay enough attention to their own hygiene.

The people in the survey were asked to list the body parts they're ignoring the most. Here's what they came up with:


1. Armpits. 31%

2. Ears, 31%

3. Your back, 30%

4. Nose, 29%

5. Your... privates, 29%

6. Butt, 28%

7. Face, 26%

8. Feet, 20%

I'm mostly wondering why "back" is so high on the list. Who is actually cleaning their entire back beyond whatever the soap/shampoo run-off does during a shower? Definitely not me.
