I was swimming in a lake with some friends and they started talking about the shock of one’s balls entering the water versus the shock of one’s breasts entering the water. I didn’t say anything but my internal state was -_-
Mc Murdo station in Antarctica is always hiring various support staff.
Me who Sweats from the Ass:
Move to the Arctic, now you can sweat under 5 layers of clothing
I mean, whenever I do sport. I kind of sweat everywhere at this point so… Meh.
Do I win a prize? :3
Yes! Endorphins and a healthier body and mind are they pay for that hard work, keep it up! 💪
Binder sweat:

You should be using a sports bra instead so you don’t destroy the tissue developing
As a cis man I don’t think I’ve ever even toby about my ball sweat. Meanwhile, I’ve heard my partner complain about her boob sweat many times, so I don’t really think this is even a contest.
I think it matters a lot what pants and underwear you wear. If it is one close to skin like for example boxer briefs + tight pants, your balls might sweat a lot if it is loose boxers, lose pants the problem might not happen.
I swear only boxer briefs, fairly tight.
So you don’t sweat dressed like this even during hot summer days?
Are you sure you are not carrying a portable AC in your pocket?
That area was designated to be able to use sweat to cool down, that’s why it grows hair to keep the moisture there longer so the evaporation can cool it off. That’s also the reason our head and armpits have hair.
I didn’t say that I don’t, I said:
I don’t think I’ve ever even thought about my ball sweat.
My point was to contrast it with my partner, who complains about her boob sweat often.
Sorry, my bad.
Honestly, can any trans women weigh in? Which one is more annoying? As a cis man, I honestly think boob sweat sounds way worse.
Does ball sweat lead to yeast infections? Because as a well-endowed woman, that’s my biggest concern when I’m in a sweaty bra for hours a day.
I have to hand-wash my bras every night in the summer, lest I get painful sores in my underboob. :(
Not generally, but it can. :/
Yeah, my mom was “blessed” by the boob fairy, and she fought that nightmare. Poor lady. But you always knew who to turn to if you needed some Nystatin powder lol
i solved that problem by just saying fuck it and not wearing bras :3
LIFEHACK: i don’t get boob sweat because i don’t wear bras! :3
I don’t wear bras either, but I’m like a j or k cup and that’s. Still so much sweat my tits just slide around on my chest/stomach?
I don’t have them anymore and also maybe I was more averse to ball sweat because I was dysphoric, but I think boob sweat is easier and more socially acceptable to wipe it away.
Yeah, that’s my experience. You can more discretely deal with boob sweat, while dealing with ball sweat feels awful
Boob sweat is affirming, even if my bras get soggy for hours and really stink after a while. Ball sweat is way more disgusting and majorly dysphoria inducing. Just my experience.
i dont mind either because they smell good ngl
Totally privacy invading kind of question you can completely ignore if it’s not welcome. But now I wonder, does your body odor change after starting HRT?
yes it does! I don’t know how to describe it but sweat smells more feminine.
and there’s actually some good research out there on how the genitals begin to smell more like a vagina, which is very interesting. hrt is magic
ye it does a lot, I used tohate it before starting hrt
Pretty sure mine did a bit, but I don’t think I could really describe the difference in words very well tbh. I’ll check to see what my wife says and report back 🫡
Edit: she said “You don’t stink as much lol” 🫠 thanks babe lmao
Since we’re asking private questions, did you get married before transitioning? Really curious how your partner took it.
My wife’s never really identified as female so I’m cool with it, just wondering what other people’s experiences are, please ignore if uncomfortable!
Yeah we were married for three years when my egg cracked. She’s bisexual which helped. But when I told her, she said “I knew it, I told you so” …and she had told me so.
A few times before my egg cracked she had just straight up told me that if I was a trans woman, she’d still love me and stay with me. I always brushed it off tho cuz I was going through the process of learning and accepting that I’m bisexual. Which was a (comparatively) easy process, but I always just assumed when I acted feminine that it was somehow because I was bi… So some internalized homophobia/biphobia mixed with cognitive dissonance 🙃
Now that is a beautiful love story. ♥️
It very much does! I’ve been on HRT for 20 months, and I don’t stink when I sweat anymore (haven’t since month 2ish). I just have an odor that’s best described as feminine.
And genital area sweat/moisture is a different texture and smells like pussy (because my genitals are doing their best to be one).
my balls don’t sweat as far as i’m aware
my feet on the other hand 😅
You can’t not sweat around the balls, there’s no real space for proper air circulation around there. Unless you have really thin thighs or embraced naturism I suppose?
meow maybe I just don’t get hot often idk. or maybe I just don’t sweat enough to notice. my thighs are thick and I have not returned to monke so I don’t think it’s that
Holy shit, lucky!

outside of the issues regarding asbestos which is a very common impurity in talcum because they tend to be next to each other, making separation impossible, which has been known since before 1900. https://www.asbestos.com/products/talcum-powder/
Cosmetic-grade talc has shown asbestos levels ranging from 0% to 30% in testing since the 1960s. To top it off, the types of Asbestos being mixed into talcum are among the most dangerous ones. The IARC also classified pure talc as probably carcinogenic, placing it in Group 2A, its second-highest cancer risk level. I would advise you to seek alternatives.
The original comment was removed but are we saying that baby powder is bad for us in 2026 because it has up to 30% asbestos in it? Because I put medicated powder on my balls pretty regularly. The burn makes me feel alive.
lol yes, baby powder (which is talcum) is bad for you. There was a large lawsuit in the UK in 2025 with 3000 claimants against Johnson & Johnson regarding their Baby Powder, and sale of baby powder has been stopped in the UK in 2023.

I thought they updated the ingredients after that! Noooooooooo! My balls!!!
There’s no updating anything with talcum, sadly. It is practically inseperable from asbestos, and they appear side by side/intermingled, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talc#Association_with_asbestos
But the replacements using Corn Starch are fine (and in my experience it also works pretty good)!
