1. Fresh Balls
$15, 3 oz
Pros Fresh Balls goes on like a lotion and then almost instantly becomes powder, leaving you feeling as arid as the Mojave Desert.
Cons None. Okay, the company is based in Las Vegas, in case you're unsure about rubbing anything from Sin City on your testicles.
Euphemism for scrotum used on packaging "Privates"
Can you go commando with it? Yes. Keeps your boys dry, pants clean.
Rating 4 out of 4 stars
(Of course, there's more to pleasing your woman than just freshening up down under. Check out The Girl Next Door newsletter for advice on making the first move, charming her pants off, and sealing the deal.)

2. Jack Black Dry Down Friction-Free Powder
$18, 6 oz
Pros A talc-free powder with cornstarch, lavender, green tea, and cucumber not only sounds aromatic but will keep you dry and help avoid chafing.
Cons You can't sprinkle powder upward, so application is a messy proposition—there's almost no way to avoid having an incriminating cloud of dust settle beneath you.
Euphemism for scrotum "South-of-the-border"
Can you go commando with it? Yes. The fine powder doesn't clump.
Rating 3 stars

3. Gold Bond Medicated Body Powder
$8, 10 oz
Pros This drugstore staple isn't strictly for your sack, but it has a mentholated tingle. It's also the easiest of the bunch to find, which is good when your 'nads need freshening now.
Cons There's the same application problem that Jack's powder has. It's also a little clumpier, which can leave you looking as if you've been cleaning chalkboards with your boxers. (What else can go wrong in the sack besides clumpy boxers? Plenty! Troubleshoot your bedroom skills with The Big Book of Sex and improve your love life instantly.)
Euphemism for scrotum None
Can you go commando with it? Nope. It'd rub off a little too quickly.

4. Axe Detailer Grooming Tool
$4
$4
Pros Axe helped spark the whole craze with its Clean Your Balls ad campaign. This doohickey has two sides: a rough one for knees and elbows and a soft, mesh one for your man parts. Used with shower gel, it does, in fact, clean your balls.
Cons It looks like a glorified version of your girlfriend's bath pouf, crossbred with a hockey puck. And the shower gel is sold separately.
Euphemism for scrotum "Your 'sensitive' areas"

It's a Jungle Down There
Genital grooming preferences vary as much as lovemaking techniques, but the bushy natural look is clearly out of fashion. So we endorse the Braun Cruzer Body ($60, braun.com), a rechargeable, washable trimmer that can have your cojones as bare as Patrick Stewart's head in no time. This wet/dry 2-in-1 tool—shave or trim—comes with an inductive charging stand that you can stuff in your medicine cabinet or display on your mantel. But don't stop there. After you've trimmed, swaddle your freshly shorn package in underwear designed using the latest in moisture-management technology. Options abound, so here's the lowdown: Cotton and modal fabrics absorb sweat, while nylon, polyester, and microfiber move moisture away from your twig and berries. We support Bold, a new underwear line from Calvin Klein. These boxer briefs ($28, calvinklein.com) are 82 percent poly and 18 percent elastane to keep you dry and snug
