This week, I received some men’s care products from Ballsy, which markets themselves as a somewhat irreverent men’s personal care brand that creates high quality products for men who “like to live balls out”. Their website which features several products dedicated to keeping men’s bits clean and fresh has inspired some very creative testimonials like this poem from Mark.
I love the marketing and the products definitely leave one feeling ‘fresh’. Their motto is “keep the funk off your junk”. Even if you don’t think the products are for you, I’d suggest checking out their website which is really pretty entertaining. You might be surprised (I was) by how many products they have available.
