Ass lint

Bellybutton lint is created when fabric rubs across your torso and small fibres - along with skin cells - form small balls and roll into your innie. Mine is checked on an almost daily basis to see whether it needs a digital cleaning, or not.

But, I’ve been noticing an irregularity with the location of the lint. Specifically, it’s gone to the crack of my ass.

Seriously, what is up with ass lint?

Before I go to bed, I take a shower. While removing my clothing (and folding it on the counter), I do the usual checks: pimples, ingrown hairs, etc. Occasionally, I run my fingers across my ass because of a proverbial itch that needs scratching. Lo and behold, there are little pieces of fluff in and around my crack.

I use soap and a sponge to scrub myself clean. Afterwards, I use a towel and vigorously rub myself dry, making sure I get in and around every nook and cranny.

And, ass lint still shows up on occasion.

It would make sense if I wore undergarments made of a material that pills, but all of my undies are cotton. And, if I don’t wear undies (which is often, especially on hot days of summer), then it shouldn’t be a problem.

It's such a pain in the, well, ass. But, why does this happen? Can this serious (and silent) affliction be cured?

Personally, I think it comes from wedgies that aren't picked. The fabric tucks away in a place where it shouldn't, creates friction with the skin, and Voilà! ass lint.

Which, of course, gives me a reason to subconsciously scratch my ass at whim.

Note: And, with that final thought, I wish you a great weekend.
