About this episode
Happy Boy Problems Thursday! Today, Liz is doing something new -- a full grab bag episode dedicated entirely to your boy problems, and it does not disappoint. This week she's unpacking everything from a partner with genuinely alarming hygiene standards to a decade-long friendship that's giving toxic. Plus: the great wipe debate and the hygiene gap that keeps us up at night (and away from certain beds...)
Let us know in the comments where you land in the great wipe vs. shake debate 👀
Remember: no problem is too weird, too petty, or too embarrassing. Send us your Boy Problems — we're ready. ❤️
