Make sure you wipe the excess with tissue first than finish with water and possibly soap ever since ive done this i feel cleaner and fresher. Im kinda hairy as well lol but that shouldn't be the only cause since my dad is hairier and yet doesn't have this problem. They say bacteria multiplies while trapped in hair so shaving off could help but be carful as it can cause chaffing at first. (if ya shave between the fresh buns)
