Ok, we’re just going to go ahead and say it: we’ve been asked by the team at Below the Belt Grooming to find 50 male Mumsnetters interested in testing their Fresh & Dry Balls products in our first ever male only product test Grin.

Selected testers will receive one of the two following fragrances:

We’re thinking that you probably don’t need too detailed an explanation of why this product could come in handy - suffice to say that, particularly after a long day or a workout, mens’ ‘downstairs’ aren’t always as fresh and sweet smelling as one might wish.

Here’s what Below the Belt Grooming have to say: “Below the Belt Grooming is a unique range of skincare products designed specifically for men. We all know men are badly designed in that area, and until now their needs have been ignored by skincare products, but Below the Belt Grooming is dedicated to getting it sorted.

Formulated with natural ingredients for gentle yet effective results, Below the Belt Grooming helps men feel fresh and dry in the groin area, all day every day. Ideal for men with busy lifestyles, such as commuting, active jobs, and travel, to keen sports enthusiasts or even a family bike ride at the weekend.

Below the Belt Grooming is proud to partner with Prostate Cancer UK; the leading health charity for men with prostate cancer and prostate problems. Below the Belt Grooming has pledged to raise £10,000 for Prostate Cancer UK over the next year, with 20p from every pack sold donated to the charity.”

So if you’re a male Mumsnetter who would like to take part in this product test sign up here.

If you aren’t already a registered Mumsnetter please register here before you sign up. Or if you know someone who could do with freshening up their ‘man parts’ please do get them to register and sign up to take part.

All selected testers will receive one of two of Below the Belt Grooming Fresh & Dry Balls gel fragrances and will be required to test the products for two weeks before leaving their feedback on a thread on Mumsnet. Everyone that leaves their feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one Mumsnetter will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

Done.

Rather looking fwd to providing detailed feedback. 😂😂

starlingsintheslipstream · 12/04/2018 15:30

No offence to the participants but this is one feedback thread I won't be reading!

TheImprobableGirl · 12/04/2018 17:32

Oh no! Will I be plagued by these adverts for all of eternity now? DH will wonder what I googled and get self-conscious Grin

NC for this.

No way am I putting random chemicals on my balls.

HTH!

PositivelyPERF · 12/04/2018 17:58

I can just imagine the feedback. 😂

^My wife didn’t like the smell of my balls and complained about itchy lady parts after we had marital relations.

The dog won’t stop humping my leg and please please check the mint used in your product as the cat has attacked me in the neither regions twice.

On the plus side the doctor said my nuts smelt lovely as he was stitching my scrotum back up and we’re meeting for a drink later. I think he wants to discuss the product.^ 🤔

Disclaimer, before I get sued, the above is a load of ⚽️ 🎱 🎳 🎾🤥😬

Landed · 12/04/2018 23:16

After all that women do i feel only men should be commenting here......

ConorMcGregorsChin · 13/04/2018 07:12

Really? I also thought this was a late April Fool. How utterly bizarre!

Vegeetas · 13/04/2018 14:14

Well I just signed up, my lovespuds have been crying out for this for years.... Or not... lmao

I can't wait to read the feedback thread, I foresee a possible Mumsnet classics Grin

Jaderice21 · 13/04/2018 14:45

i applied for hubby but on my account is that allowed i did in his name ?

BuntyII · 13/04/2018 15:48

Im not a man but I suspect smelly ball gel might be a hard sell.

JellySlice · 13/04/2018 15:58

I mention this 'product' to my sporty, wild-camping, commuting dh. He looked disgusted, and responded "That's rank!"

So there's a flat No for you.

TheNoseyProject · 13/04/2018 16:46

No! People just have a shower or soap and flannel at a sink. This is basically hanging a car pine tree on your knob.

topcat2014 · 13/04/2018 17:14

Seems a bit odd, so a no from me!

SoupDragon · 13/04/2018 17:21

No way am I putting random chemicals on my balls.

Surely they are no more random than shower gel

viques · 13/04/2018 17:51

Chipsforsupper a good point well made.

Had to snigger at the "men with busy lifestyles, commuting" I hope this doesn't mean they will be bringing out a travel size, perfect for that moment on the train when you need to impress/ scent mark your seat or when you are about to give a vital presentation at work and feel a little less than fresh.

viques · 13/04/2018 17:55

Ps can someone tell the manufacturers that they have made a huge error, no really,a HUGE error, big mistake, huge, by including a picture that implies that using this product will enhance your man spreading capability.

Make a product that encourages men to keep their knees together and I guarantee every woman in the land will buy a can to keep in her handbag for emergency use .....

8oOoOoOo8 · 13/04/2018 22:55

I also identify as a man today. Can I sign up?

topcat2014 · 14/04/2018 09:35

I guess it all sounds very hipster in the marketing department, but I wouldn't want that product on display in my bathroom tbh.

Mind you, is it aimed at blokes who prefer to dodge the bathroom anyway?

I am fairly active, inc personal trainer sessions etc, but just have a shower when I get in.

Granted, gym before work and no shower would be minging, but I don't think lots of people would want to do that.

DH has been a member for a long time.

If he does have sweaty bollocks, I can't say I've ever noticed, but I've sent him a link, anyhow.

PositivelyPERF · 15/04/2018 01:34

I’d buy them just to put them in a secret Santa gift. Can you imagine your misogynistic boss opening them up in work? 🤣

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 15/04/2018 10:52

First: no, just no.

Second: moose knuckle? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
