I'd certainly hope so.

They teach you how to underline in college

Flushable wipes - feels great to be clean
Hand lotion - gold bond healing hand cream, non greasy
Dove face wash - feels so fresh and clean after a hot shower
Eye mask for sleeping - when it's very dark you sleep better guaranteed
Hair Conditioner

some of you guys have some very weird opinions on what is masculine

[snake911]

I paint my toenails.
Theater/Broadway Musicals
Girl Pop (Gaga, Pink, Ke$ha, etc...)
Bubble baths
Being kind, considerate, and respectful with children (most "mans-mans" I know seem put off by kids most of the time, probably because they dont act manly enough.)
Shaving/Waxing most of my non-head top body hair

I think it’s less what we personally think is masculine/feminine and more our understanding of what society, broadly, thinks about each thing.

My guideline is would my grandfather have called me a pussy if he knew I did it.

That is a perfect yardstick! Also, have my uncles already called me that in real life for it.

Yeah I don't think we're here to discuss today's definitons of what men/women can/can't or should/shouldn't do. Pretty sure neum was just getting at what society as a whole still thinks of as "non-masculine"

[justinandimcool]

yeah don’t actually flush flushable wipes.

love them tho

[jkrue22]

Scented candles. There's something exhilarating about trying them all in the store.

Pro tip: sniff the inside of the lid to get the best scent.

[GSUdawg521]

^^I would one-up those and say bidet. Installed one last year and love it.

[neumdogg]

I wax my eyebrows. Unibrow is fuuuuucked.

[justinandimcool]

bidet is life changing

[TheLastStop123]

yeah I installed a bidet a few weeks ago. one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Which one do you have? I've thought about Tushy because it's more affordable than a lot of the bidet's out there. No way in fucking hell am I getting one that isn't heated, though.

[ThatLetter]

I love the smell of lavender. Also sit to pee (at home). Hard cider is fantastic.

With your here Neum. No plucking for me, just waxing.

Teaching elementary school is on my list too.

I found them years ago at the OBX, and then would order online.
So excited when I discovered them in this tiny grocery store a few minutes from me.

The roasted espresso is the best.

Vacuuming. I love seeing the fresh vacuum lines in the carpet. It’s almost as satisfying as seeing stripes in my grass after I mow.

Loving the candle suggestions

I got the Luxe off Amazon. Half the price of the cheapest Tushy. My friend thought he wanted a heated one for sure and his wife pressured him into getting the regular one for now and I don't think he regrets it. I'm on record thinking you don't need a heated one. Even in the winter so far, it doesn't seem any colder than it did during the summer. The cold water that comes out is already inside your house.

Even in the winter so far, it doesn't seem any colder than it did during the summer. The cold water that comes out is already inside your house.

I originally bought a Luxe, but after a year or two the handle started coming apart and the nozzle wouldn't retract. So I bought a Brondell and have been happier with it so far.

The water is definitely a little colder in the winter. It only gets down to like 40 here, but water can only get so cold before it freezes anyway. It's definitely not uncomfortable at all to use. Personally, I don't think having a heated one is worth it. But maybe living somewhere colder would make a difference? Also, I don't know if the full seats don't require you to connect to a hot water line, but the bidet attachments do if you want a heated setting. So unless you have a hot water line in your bathroom or are willing to run a line through a wall or something...it doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Honestly, these things take like 10 min to install and aren't expensive. I have no idea how every toilet in this country doesn't have a bidet.
