Inclusive Health

Every Man Deserves To Feel At Home In His Own Skin

Your body’s your engine — the better you treat it, the longer it runs clean. Lift, walk, stretch — it all helps. Sleep, nutrition, hydration — they’re as essential as your beard routine.

Workout tip: Even 20 minutes of bodyweight work (push-ups, squats, planks) three times a week gives your heart and muscles a boost.

Fuel tip: Prioritize protein, whole grains, veggies, and healthy fats. Try to limit ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks.

Recovery tip: Aim for 7–8 hours sleep, stretch after exercise, and take rest days seriously

Health and self-care look different for everyone — and that’s exactly how it should be.

At Gentlemen's Bits, we believe all men deserve access to good information, great products, and support that actually fits who they are.

Whether you’re gay, bi, straight, trans, non-binary, or questioning — your wellbeing matters here

🤝 What Inclusive Health Means

Men’s health has too often been painted with one brush. It’s time to change that.

Our approach:

Respect all bodies and identities.
Recognise different health needs.
Encourage open conversations — without judgment.
Promote small daily habits that build long-term confidence.

Whether it’s skincare or self-care, the goal’s the same — feeling good in your own body.

🧬 Trans & Non-Binary Men’s Health

Transition-related care and everyday wellbeing go hand in hand.

Key Considerations:

Hormone Health: Regular blood tests to check testosterone and other levels. Stay consistent with GP or gender clinic appointments.
Chest Health: Even after top surgery, it’s important to monitor for lumps, changes, or scar tissue differences.
Cervical & Reproductive Health: Trans men with a cervix still need cervical screening (smear tests). It’s awkward — but lifesaving.
Mental Health: Gender dysphoria and body image challenges are real — and valid. Talking helps, and you’re not alone.
Binding Safety: Use breathable materials and take breaks when possible to protect ribs and skin.

Support & Resources:

CliniQ – holistic health for trans and non-binary people.
Gendered Intelligence – support, education, and peer networks.
TransActual – advocacy and healthcare guidance.
Stonewall – LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion advice.

If you bind or shave regularly, use our skin products to reduce irritation and keep skin healthy.

💜 Sexual Health & Body Confidence

Your body is your own — take care of it with confidence, not shame.

Health Musts for Everyone:

Regular STI screening — free and confidential at NHS or local clinics.
If you’re sexually active with multiple partners, ask about PrEP (HIV prevention medication).
Vaccines like HPV and Hepatitis B are relevant for many men — ask your GP.
Look after skin, grooming, and hygiene with the same care you give your fitness routine.

Body Confidence Tips:

Social media lies — your body doesn’t need to “fit” an image.
Focus on how you feel, not how you compare.
Good grooming = self-respect, not vanity.

Trusted Sexual Health Resources:

Terence Higgins Trust – testing, PrEP, and HIV support.
NHS Sexual Health Finder – local clinics.
London Friend – LGBTQ+ counselling and wellbeing.

Feeling confident often starts with feeling fresh — our Intimate Wash and Moisturiser are simple, no-nonsense care for every body.

🧠 Mental Health for All Men

Masculinity looks different for everyone — and that’s a good thing.

What helps:

Talk to someone who gets it. Whether that’s a mate, a therapist, or an LGBTQ+ support group.
Build daily grounding habits: breathe, move, check in with yourself.
Disconnect from “shoulds” — there’s no right way to be a man.

Inclusive Mental Health Support:

Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline – 0300 330 0630
MindOut – LGBTQ+ mental health charity.
CALM – men’s mental health and crisis prevention.

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated — even a few minutes washing your face or applying moisturiser can help you pause and reset.

🌍 Cultural Awareness & Representation

Health advice often assumes one story — but men’s lives are more complex than that.

Key points:

Different ethnic backgrounds come with unique health risks — like diabetes, hypertension, or certain cancers.
Faith and culture can shape how we talk (or don’t talk) about health.
Inclusive health means meeting men where they are, not where they “should” be.
