Assuming you just slept all night, you've been lying in your own sweat for around eight hours. If you didn't shower before bed, that smell is definitely coming from you.

The Smell Test
If for whatever reason you're not sure if your nuts stink, you have to find out. We do not recommend asking another person. The easiest and least humiliating way is to cup your balls and then force yourself to sniff your hand. Smelly, aren't they?

The Shower Routine
Shocking as this might sound, standing under the shower doesn't make you clean. Turns out, you have to actually scrub your filthy body and that includes your smelly sack. Just get a clean washcloth and a shower gel and scrub the offending area.

Dry It Off
Don't just jump out of the shower. Dry your balls with a towel and then blast it with a dryer, but use the cool setting. We don't want you burning your precious penis.

Fresh as a Daisy
If you incorporate these tips into your self-care routine, things will change. Namely, the reaction your smelly sack gets from others.
