Family physician and TikToker Dr. Jen Caudle listed off the body parts that need some closer attention in the shower.

As adults, we have countless responsibilities, and it's so easy to forget the "little things" like properly taking care of ourselves.

But Dr. Jen Caudle pointed out on TikTok that sometimes even when we think we're taking care of ourselves, we may not be doing it correctly.


The family physician and med school professor explained that it was becoming increasingly common for her to examine patients who had five key body parts that were not properly cleaned or which had obviously not been cleaned for a while.

The first body part Caudle cited was the belly button.l.lm

"That's right, a lot of guys don't wash their belly button at all."
"Guys, it gets gross! Please wash your belly button."

The old adage 'Keep your ears clean' made an appearance in Caudle's second point.

"The top of the ear, the back, and also the lobe. I want you to specifically wash that area."
"If you rub your ear, you smell it and it's gross, you haven't washed it recently."

The third point suggests we might not be washing our hands as well as we thought, either.

"Scrub underneath your fingernails. This is where a lot of dirt and grossness gets trapped, and we don't often think about it!"

Caudle's final two points involved lower points on the body, including our legs and toes.

Caudle clarified:

"Yes, you actually need to wash your legs. I'm not talking about letting that soap run down your legs in the shower. I'm talking about washing!"
"Also, get in between those toes. You want to make sure you're preventing infections of many sorts. Make sure you're deliberately washing your toes!"

The video quickly garnered attention with 1.6 million views, more than 195 thousand likes, and more than 3,600 comments.

Some were disgusted that a video like this even needed to exist.

Others were relieved that they were already washing well.

Bathing is one of those tasks we all assume we have figured out now that we're grown, but like most things, there's always room for improvement.

Clip Of MAGA Speaker At Prayer Event Claiming God 'Raised Up' Trump To Build His Ballroom Is Peak MAGA

MAGA author and radio host Eric Metaxas was criticized after claiming that God "raised up" President Donald Trump after two centuries so he could build his new White House ballroom.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

On Friday, May 8, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's Secretary of Transportation returned to his Fox News stomping grounds to announce a return to his reality TV roots with a five-part YouTube series.

Internet Weirded Out After Dozens Of Empty Self-Driving Waymo Cars Descend On Atlanta Neighborhood For No Apparent Reason

It’s one thing to see a self-driving Waymo car and do a quick double-take over the fact that nobody is behind the wheel. It’s another thing when dozens of them suddenly start rolling through your neighborhood like a very confused robot field trip.

Residents on Atlanta’s ironically named “Battleview Drive” say empty Waymo vehicles have been repeatedly swarming their cul-de-sac during the early morning hours despite not picking up or dropping off passengers.
