🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 Even freshly showered balls still have that distinct ball smell. The soap just mixes with it and now you have a light floral addition to the sweaty ball smell.
Source: I like putting my face in balls.
Gotta get the right soap. I have some specifically for balls, and I can go like 4 whole hours before the smell starts creeping back.
But I seem to have the opposite gene from the one south east Asians have that makes them have no BO, so I’m sure regular people will have better results.
thank you for your information mysterious Lemmy ball fondler 🙏🙏

“What if instead of designing the ventilated seats to blow air, we reversed it? What if we used them as the air intake? Turns out if we consider how the ducts are plumbed, rough calculations indicate we could save $5/car!”
Yeah no, keep your swassties to yourself.
OwlWhat are you refering to ? Teslas don’t have It AFAIK

Ohhh
BallShapedManVentilated seats may do this but better.
They do…but they’re a hell of a lot harder to find than an old hose. Idk how vented seats aren’t more common. Much more useful than heated.
Depends on the climate
I live in the south and they seem to be a rarity here. Most every car above the base models have heated seats for some reason.
halcyoncmdrNo ventilated seats are objectively more useful.
Your seat will passively heat up from your own body heat over time. That is not the case when you need the cooler air from ventilated seats.
Come hang out in -35c and then talk to me.
Depending on the climate you might never need the cold but you’ll want the heat. And vice versa.
Alot more expensive, heated seats ate insulation and heating coils, pretty simple, ventilated seats are more expensive, and because they are more expensive and more requested they are a premium
HubiYou can buy aftermarket seats for a lot of cars. Recaro sells them with adapters for a huge selection of European car models. They come with all sorts of extras like ventilation, heating, pneumatic multi-contour backrests and so on.
I’ve owned two cars with ventilated seats. In both, I never used the function more than twice because the primary result was less “oh, how refreshing” and more “did I wet myself?!”
On a hot day I once turned it on for a passenger without saying anything (it had been a few years of owning the car and I forgot the side effect). He had never been in my car before and didn’t know about the function. (I promise I wasn’t trying to prank him, I just forgot). Within a few minutes he asked me to pull over because he was worried he’d had an accident.
In short, I don’t recommend ventilated seats.
That’s wild! I’ve had it in two cars and in the summer after getting sweaty outside it’s pretty great. Though I get used to it pretty quickly so I have to turn it off and on again semi frequently. Both cars also ventilated the lower and mid back which was nice.
Ah, mine never did anything but right below the butt, so perhaps that’s why I feel differently. The main car in question was also a 2014, so perhaps the technology hadn’t been fully developed by then. It was also “air conditioned” rather than “ventilated,” but I’m not sure if there’s a difference other than the name.
Though I’m sorry I can’t share the joy, it’s great that you benefitted!
Both of these just let in outside air so maybe that’s the difference. Could also be I’m in a dry climate. I imagine in the south with dew points over 70f it feels different than here with dew points below 0f.
Could be - I’ve never lived anywhere but humid.
What do you mean let in outside air? It’s the same air going out of your vents. If you put it on recirculate your seat AC will be recirculated air too.
Not in my 2014 Corvette or my 2009 370Z. It just lets in outside air from another path as far as I know. Both communities agreed that’s the path and in my own testing I found it to be true. That said I’ve never looked up a technical document on it.
So you don’t actually get heated or cooled seats, just outside air seats?
It does heated or ambient.
Oh, that’s a bummer. The cars I’ve been in with ventilated seats just have routing from the cars HVAC and 3 stage temp controls either direction. Cooled seats feel amazing, especially in dress clothes, it keeps you feeling fresh.
Yeah for sure, I was annoyed as well. But these aren’t luxury cars.
I mean I’m just hazarding a guess here but… Might it be possible that you seat coolers for some reason are actually outputting humid air?
I just say because I’ve been in a few cars with this and I’ve never felt “wet”
Moisture never really contributed. As I said elsewhere in this thread, I’ve never peed myself as an adult. However, I’ve primarily traveled in jeans and the feeling granted by the air conditioning seat feels exactly how I think it would feel if I wet myself, then let it dry in my jeans. I haven’t tested that though.
No joke that’s why I don’t like heated seats except on the very lowest setting (which is till sometimes too high). Feels like sitting in a puddle of warm piss.
I just want vented seats for those days where the seat material gets so hot, because to get any decent features in most new cars you HAVE to get the “leather” instead of fabric.
That’s also a sign of cheap heated seats vs proper heated seats. Cheap heated seats only heat the bottom pad, making you feel like you pissed yourself. Proper heated seats also heat your back, which makes the whole thing much more effective and enjoyable
I once accidentally turned on my seat warmer and halfway to work I thought I shit my pants
What? It’s the best thing ever.
Are you the original?
My current car has ventilated seats. Use them every time I drive in summer.
Finding another car is now more difficult because I can never go back to not having them. Never I tell you!
I acknowledge and respect your opinion, but don’t share it.
AnUnusualRelicApparently, you could just wet your pants.
Gangrene would like to have a word with you.
HanrahanMy firends BYD has them, he can also turn them on via the app to pre cool or heat them if he wanta. Kinda fuuny to be in the car and says to the in car assistant “Hey BYD,.my balls are hot” and it turns the seat cooling on :)
Walk me through this. What’s the sensation that made you think that?
Well, as an adult I’ve never wet myself, but - especially while wearing jeans - them feeling cool and stiff, such as the AC made them feel, is exactly how I imagine it would feel if they were flooded with warm liquid that then cooled.
I’ve only had it in work machines. It was a godsend. It does make you feel like you diarrhead all over yourself but it does also cool you down. And at work, ample ass sweat is guaranteed so cooling the area down helps.
That’s because at the beginning the seat is hot and that needs to cool too, ventilated seats are amazing, especially if you are like me and have swamp butt/like to sweat on your back
That’s a bizarre reaction, I use them every day
Yea but they have an excuse to charge disproportionately more for that.
Most of the upcharge go away when buying used in my experience
We got em in our Kia and they’re amazing this time of year.
Even just talking about arms, it’s amazing how much more they can get cooled when the air is perfectly aimed to go down my sleeves…
Cars stopped making THIS so re-invented it! (The Jewel Cooler)
creepy dude
Pretty sure fems can benefit from having less crotch sweat, too.
But what if it dries up your snatch?!?
Probably a good thing
Definitely not, it’s like a dog’s snout, moist snatch is a sign of good health
Moist is the worst possible word. Moist suggest mildew and mold… regardless this fan would not cause health problems.
Wet as a warerpark is how a good gooch should be, it’s the healthy natural state
Apparently Been Shapiro’s wife (she’s a doctor btw) disagrees. It’s supposed to be dry as the Sahara, just like it is every time she begrudgingly gets naked in front of him.
