{{Construction Site}}'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' (OESUP) is soap that the manufacturer claims to be specially formulated to remove the fragrance of the [[foreskinned]] [[penis]].=== Foreskin fragrance ===
no edit summary
The [[foreskin]] produces [[pheromone| pheromones]] that are likely to be present in the preputial sac.<ref name="fleiss1998">{{FleissP HodgesF VanHoweRS 1998}}</ref> Many [[foreskinned]] men report a pleasant musky fragrance<ref name="vocabulary2024">{{REFweb

The fragrance may contain stimulating [[pheromone| pheromones ]] and is variously characterized. A few find it offensive, but others find it attractive, pleasing, exciting, stimulating, or arousing.<ref name="vocabulary2024" /> <ref>{{REFweb

Some believe that the use of soap in the preputial sac harms the natural [[microbiome]] and increases the strength of the fragrance. The musky foreskin fragrance may be contained by avoiding retraction of the [[foreskin]].
==Excessive washing and non-specific dermatitis==
Birley et al. (1993) report excessive washing, especially with the use of soap, will dry the oils out of tissues and cause a [[balanitis ]] like inflammation. The use of soap (including body wash, shower gel, and shampoo) should be avoided and emollients should be applied.<ref name="Birley1991">{{REFjournal
