5 Gross Things All Girls Secretly Do

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SAU chapter.

Girls are gross, we all can admit it. You can try saying that you have never done these “gross” things before, but I can bet you after not even getting halfway through, you’ll find yourself saying “Okay, I totally do this.”

 

1. Hair everywhere!

Girls shed hair more than a dog, I swear. While showering, using all that fallen out hair and creating art on the shower walls just seems like the thing to do, leaving it for the next person to deal with. We all can say too, pulling long endless strands of hair out of your crack after a shower just seems to put you in awe.

 

 

2. THAT smell.

Girls will go days, weeks, months, without washing their piercings and when the time finally comes you feel about doing something about it, there is always that smell. Earrings always have that smell that you can’t exactly describe, but as soon as you take them out, you almost always just have to smell them because you’re curious when you already know the smell is horrible. Then after cleaning you put them back in and say see you next month.

 

 

3. Those “quick” showers.

Sometimes you don’t have enough time, or just plain out are lazy. This is when dry shampoo and baby wipes come in clutch, as your next best friend and go to for cleaning yourself. We all can say we’ve repeatedly loaded up our 3 day need to shower hair with dry shampoo and have done a quick wipe down with baby wipes and called it good. Maybe we’ll try again tomorrow?

 

 

4. The fascination in squeezing pimples.

Once you start picking at your face, most can’t stop, and then you regret it. Something about seeing what is coming out of your face just fascinates you, maybe even doing it on someone else does too! Better yet, pulling off a pore strip, marvelled at all the gunk that just came out of your pores and being very dissatisfied if nothing does.

 

 

5. The everyday bra.

Can anyone really say when the last time was you washed your bra? We all have that favorite bra that does wonders for us, but will go weeks without washing it. It just always ends up back in the drawer, ready for the next use. Does anyone even know the proper way to wash a bra? But vise versa, can anyone really say when the last time was when they even WORE a bra? Bottom line, why be uncomfortable when you can be comfy. Am I wearing a bra under this baggy sweatshirt? Who knows.
