Itchy Balls: 4 Reasons Why Your Balls Are Itchy (+ Tips for Scratching Without Being Noticed)

Itchy balls are a horrible feeling. It is impossible to ignore, and of course you want to do something about it immediately. But often you are in a place where that is not possible, because you do not want the attention of the entire office to be focused on your itchy ballsack. In principle, balls should not itch, so in this article we will look at why your balls itch, and how you can solve it in an inconspicuous way.

Culprit #1: Your pubic hair

There are several reasons why your crown jewels can itch. The most common is because of your pubic hair. And to be more precise: not properly depilating your balls. Shaving your balls is a delicate job, where you need to follow a good plan of action if you want to avoid hurting yourself.

You can choose not to shave your balls at all, but that can cause itching. This is because your hair curls and grows in all directions, and therefore also rubs against your sack. A little maintenance is the answer.

It is best not to completely remove hair from your balls, but to just trim them properly. If you shave off every stray hair, you will not only get irritation, but also severe itching when your pubic hair starts to grow back.

Anyway: Trimming your ball hair is the answer. Not only does it keep your pubic hair at a length that prevents itching, it also looks fresh and your sexual partners are probably very happy about that. After all, few things are a bigger mood killer than having to interrupt your whistling concert at the supreme moment to fish a hair out of your mouth.

A trimmer in combination with a shower with lukewarm or warm water beforehand is your best friend. You can easily check the length you want your pubic hair to be, and because of the protective cap, the blade does not directly touch the sensitive skin . A nice idea, because the skin of the balls is not only a complicated landscape to shave with its unevenness and bends where you can easily slip, it is also a very sensitive spot. This way you prevent a bloody cut in your manhood in the worst case .

For this delicate job in your genital area we recommend The BushBuster 4.0 on, the only bodygroomer with SafeShave technology. Cordless, powerful and waterproof: your crown jewels deserve the king of body trimmers (Also very suitable for your pubic hair , balls , butt hair , armpit hair , chest hair and leg hair !)?

Culprit #2: Chafing Clothes

It may sound like a very logical solution, but sometimes the most obvious option is also the right one. Maybe you are wearing tight underwear and it constantly rubs against your balls. This can cause irritated skin in the form of itching.

You can solve this by moisturizing your balls, so that your skin stays nice and supple. But why make it difficult when it can be easy? The solution is actually very simple: make sure you buy underwear and clothing that fits well. If the friction is solved, the itching will be too. Wearing cotton underwear can also help with this.

Culprit #3: Lack of good hygiene

It may not be a pretty sight , but have you ever considered that it could also be due to a lack of hygiene ? If you don’t take proper care of your private parts, poor hygiene can not only cause unpleasant odors, but also itching.

Listen: We all know that it's not spotless down there. Between your legs and in your underwear, it's like a sweat lodge, so it's perfectly normal for your balls to sweat. But as soon as sweat dries, it leaves a layer of salt behind. And that salt dries out your skin again. Dry skin = itchy skin. In most cases, you can solve that by cleaning it regularly. Showering daily, wearing clean underwear and carefully cleaning your scrotum should be enough.

Culprit #4: It's something medical

If it's not your pubic hair, underwear or hygiene, then there could be a medical cause. Of course, it could be something relatively harmless, like an infection or eczema, but if you're unlucky, it could also be an STD.

When it comes to an STD, there are a number of different ones it could be, from the well-known itch to herpes or chlamydia (and more). If your itch doesn’t go away, and/or is accompanied by other symptoms, it’s worth getting tested.

If left untreated, an STD can have serious consequences for your fertility, and you don't want to be the one to pass it on to a partner. So if you're sexually active with multiple partners, it's a good idea to get tested every three months.

If the itching is caused by a skin infection or eczema, for example, it is also worth going to the doctor. They can prescribe good medication for this, and possibly which substances or substances cause or worsen your itching, so that you can take that into account in the future.

How can you scratch your balls without being noticed?

Okay, all those tips to solve itchy balls are nice and good. But what if you have an itch or a burning sensation right now? And you're in a place where you can't just scratch? Scratching in public is a bit rude. Of course, you've come up with the tip to excuse yourself to the toilet yourself, but what if that's not possible? Then you have to be creative.

Of course, you can grab in your pockets. But that only works if there is actually something in there to play with (like keys), otherwise your action will quickly be noticed. You can also make sure that you can hide behind a pillar, cupboard, or (partially) under a table. If there is a distraction at that moment, you can scribble to your heart's content.

And if nothing is possible? Try to distract yourself. Whether it's with a colleague's presentation, watching a movie on your phone, or an elaborate fantasy about being in an action movie, hiding from a T-Rex and absolutely not allowed to move: whatever works, works!
