Urban Survival - The Uglier Side of City Living, Wednesday, Period 2

Mar 22, 2017 08:05

"Hygieeeeeene."

Sparkle had been wanting to get to this lesson for weeks now, and apparently nothing had offended his sensibilities so much this week that he had to reschedule this one.

( Sponge baths and a whole paragraph about periods, mostly. )

God, he probably missed so much. But figured he covered at least the basics? Maybe?

For a guy as obsessed about hygiene as he was, it was hard to summarize.

Share your personal experiences with staying clean without regular use of a shower, or ask questions, or offer suggestions for things Sparkle might have missed. The sky is the limit!

"So . . . improvised toothbrushes can work in a pinch? Like, your finger can work if you just need something for a day or so. But toothbrushes. Toothpaste is great if you can get your hands on it," and your alien best friend didn't keep eating it, "but even just having something to scrub at your mouth with with water is helpful."

"Sweet, beautiful toothpaste," Sparkle said, sounding wistful. "And, shit, I've been known to use loose threads from my clothes or even like a few strands of hair to floss. I don't care if it's gross. Flossing is important."

Words of wisdom, kids.

Tip's eyes drifted up to the general direction of her poof. ". . . I don't think my hair would work very well for that," she said. "But loose threads, sure. Or don't restaurants sometimes have those jars of toothpicks at the hostess station? You'd have to be sneaky, but at least they're probably pretty clean."

When she tags in!

Tip was here. And running her tongue along her teeth surreptitiously to make sure they felt clean. She'd brushed that morning after breakfast, but there was nothing like bringing up dental hygiene when you have food stuck all up in your grill.
