There's no shame in struggling with hygiene.

A quote I heard a while back, "Getting caught up in doing everything perfect can deter you from doing anything at all. Stop worrying about perfection."

If you'd like to feel a bit better, here's some hacks.

Use a spray (antiperspirant with aluminum) deodorant on (dry) feet after showers. The aluminum is essential as it prevents the sweat that causes odors. The propaganda about it being bad is bs.

Apply witch hazel (usually generic is only around $2) to your toilet paper to freshen up.

A quality (antiperspirant with aluminum) deodorant morning and night, or as often as you can manage.

Exfoliate somehow with a wash cloth, (it's not dirty, just wash them with your towels,) loofa, or salicylic/glycolic/etc. acid cleanser. The stinky stuff gets trapped in the dead skin cells.

Mouthwash, gum, even just drinking water after meals can help to prevent tooth decay (at least better than just nothing at all.)

Nice post. Baby wipes are a lifesaver if showering feels super hard too.

Using a washcloth or baby wipes on your armpits, crotch, and feet, go a long way.
