I feel like all these single guys answering this question doesn't make sense.  You have to be there to know what is going on.  It's a different world once you are married.  I don't even know how to explain it, but it's there.  Nothing wrong with anything you guys are saying but it isn't 99.8% safe-proof as us married guys want it.  When you only have a GF, you really have nothing to lose, we married dudes have the world to lose, that's why.

know exactly what you mean. i am always afraid of this as well. i always try to stop by a bar and have a few drinks and smoke before heading home.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment, I'd have to say that the ONLY way for you to be 99.8 safe-proof is to just NOT go out mongering; that unfortunately is - I think - the only way!!  And even doing it this way - there is still the 0.2% chance of still getting into a pickle w/the SO as women are......just women!

Besides all the above suggestions, I also recommend that you pop a Cialis or Vit V before coming home - I've had to content w/crouching tigers when coming home late - and Thanked my Lucky Stars that I did pop one!

I totally understand. When I was single, I didn't care which fragrant soap the WG uses on me because I go home with nothing to lose and no one to explain to. I rather have the scented soap on me to make the effect of punting last longer. BUT its a whole different story now. I'm married with a little baby daughter. So I need to take extra caution and extra care all the time. Even surfing on this website I make sure I delete everything including the history etc when I logout. I only punt when I travel overseas for work. Never at home. There's just too many people I bump into whist punting at home.

The methods I used to cover myself up are cigarettes, beer, coffee and aftershave.  Sometimes I would spill some beer down my neck for extra precaution.

I hear your pain, familiar with the problem. Have taken up swimming.

Go to any 7-11 and pick up a packet of the moistened towelettes - preferably unscented.  Give yourself a good wipe with those and they will take away any scent.  

Alternatively get the scented packs and give yourself a good rub of the face and neck with those (or other parts of your body if worried).  Then you can say you got a bit hot and sweaty (only works in summer I guess) and bought those in 7-11 to freshen up.  Can keep the packet if SO wanted to check the smell.  

Either way you will not smell like you just had a shower or of cheap perfume.  Its also quick, cheap, saves filling cars with smoke or pouring beer on yourself, no need to carry a second bottle of shampoo with you (be interesting to explain that one away!) and they are available on just about every street corner.

I can understand your sentiments.  Ask a simple question and get a simple answer - in this case, it is Johnson's baby powder.  Start using it as part of your daily regimen since you can say HK is a very humid place.  It is fairly simple to get a travel size bottle or place some in a small ziplock bag and dispose of afterwards.  Happy punting!

I think if you build a rapport with a regular she will let you keep some of your soap there. Kim would definitely accommodate that and I bet Kiki would too.

I think in the meantime, try keeping a travel size bottle with you.

As for the smoking suggestion... YUCK! I suggest dousing yourself with alcohol. Of course, that might affect your employment.

ahh...this is the reason i smoke. I am not a regular smoker, just a social smoker, and i do not carry a pack...unless i go punting. The smoke helps cover all sort of smell.
If you are not a smoker, just light one up and blow all over your shirt. No need to inhale it. Can easily say blame your "friend" for the smell. lol

I try and rinse very very thoroughly.   So far has not been a problem - and my wife is quite sensitive.  The only issue I ever had was punting at one of the temple street $120 places.  They were burning incense like no bodies business.  I didn't notice, but when I came home I reeked of incense.  My wife asked and I said I was in a shop that had incense burning.   Luckily I had done a little shopping and had the goods to prove, but now I am very careful when I see incense burning.

There's a reason why there's the old saying "don't shit where you eat." I'm constantly paranoid about punting in Hong Kong as I have far too many friends and relatives in this area, let alone worrying about the soap dilemma.

To be constructive though, an analysis of proposed solutions:

1) Rinse only without shower gel - Not too hygienic as water only doesn't kill germs.
2) Leave bottle of shower gel at regular - Limits punting selection only to regulars, but with most HG, they aren't in Hong Kong long enough. Also, I always fear what's left in the shower bottles are contaminated somehow.
3) Gym - Only if one is fit. Me, as a fat fuck, can't make use of this excuse.
4) Travel Pack - I know some brothers travel with a pack, including condoms, masks, extra sets of clothes and shower gels. I like this method the most.

My suggestion:
5) Develop a routine
But as another bro pointed out, men are inherently stinky. The best way to get undetected, and get to a 99.9% safety level is to develop a routine punting schedule. Schedule a dinner with friends at the Dai Pai Dongs that don't have air conditioning. Sweat out the cleanliness first. Make it a beer night as well so get some smoke on you. If you make every Wednesday of the week hanging out night, punt before that, and then spend 1-2 hours with your friends at dinner and bar. That'll cover up the smell, develop a stink on you which is explainable. I've been doing this for many years now (back when there were actually more Dai Pai Dongs in Hong Kong) and I'm still happily married.

Its a little off the subject, but more than once when seeing a new provider, I put a bottle of Betadine in my pocket.  After the fun is over and I head to the shower, I generously soap up the little bro and other areas with the stuff.  I figure, a few cents worth of hospital grade pre-surgery cleaner should help to decrease the chances of anything bad going home with me.

Not trying to be paranoid, just careful until I know the lady.

incense is OK, you can't go wrong with incense, you know? buddha? temple?  no sin? LOL unless ur household doesn't pray the chinese way, then ur fucked.
