HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS WITH YOUR VELOMA SOAP
By Dr. Andrew Fogarty, Naturopath & Founder of Veloma
You just got your soap. Or maybe it's on its way.
Either way, you want this to work. And I want it to work for you too.
After 6 years of developing this formula and watching 17,000+ men go through the same process, I can tell you this: the guys who see results in days and the guys who give up after a week are usually doing things very differently.
The soap itself is the same. The protocol makes the difference.
So here's exactly what I tell every customer to do. Step by step. No guesswork.
THE 10-STEP PROTOCOL FOR FASTEST RESULTS
Step 1: Use it daily at night, before bed.
Most guys reach for it in the morning. And morning use is fine. But if you can only do it once a day, make it at night.
Here's why: your skin does the bulk of its repair work while you sleep. When you apply the soap at night, the biofilm disruptors get to work while you're resting. No sweat, no friction, no re-exposure. Just the ingredients doing their job on clean, dry skin for 6-8 hours straight.
Think of it this way: morning use means the soap fights fungus while you're moving, sweating, and rubbing all day. Night use means it fights fungus while your body is already in repair mode.
Step 2: Cover more than just the rash.
This is where most guys go wrong on Day 1.
You see the rash in one spot, so you lather that spot and move on. But the fungus doesn't stay in one place. By the time you can see it, it has already spread beyond the visible area. It sits in the groin folds, along the inner thighs, across the buttocks, and between the legs.
Lather the soap generously and apply it to the entire groin area, both inner thighs, and your buttocks. Not just the red patch. The whole zone.
You're not treating a spot. You're clearing an environment.
Step 3: Let it sit for 3-5 minutes. This is the step that changes everything.
I can't stress this enough. If you rush this step, you're leaving the biofilm intact.
Here's what's happening during those 3-5 minutes: the tea tree oil and sulphur spring extract are penetrating the biofilm, which is the invisible protective shield that fungus builds around itself. That shield is the reason creams and sprays fail. They sit on top of the biofilm and never reach the fungus underneath.
The soap needs contact time to break through that barrier.
Set a timer on your phone. Seriously. Prop it on the shelf where you can see it. Three to five minutes feels long in the shower. Most guys guess and it ends up being about 45 seconds. That's not enough.
While you wait, you can wash your hair, shave, do whatever you normally do. Just let the soap sit on the affected areas.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly.
Once the timer goes off, rinse everything. Make sure you get all the soap off, especially in the skin folds. Residue can cause irritation, and irritated skin is vulnerable skin.
Step 5: Dry COMPLETELY. Then go further.
This might be the most underrated step in the whole protocol.
Fungus needs moisture to survive. It's that simple. If you leave even a small amount of dampness in the groin area after your shower, you're giving the fungus exactly what it needs to keep going.
Pat dry with a clean towel first. Not the same towel you used yesterday, and not the towel someone else in your house used. A clean, dedicated towel.
Then here's the trick that most guys have never tried: grab a hair dryer. Set it to cool or low heat. Aim it at the groin, inner thighs, and any skin folds for 30-60 seconds. It sounds strange, but it works. This eliminates the hidden moisture that towels can't reach, especially in the creases and folds.
Once you're completely dry, you're in the best possible position. The fungus has nothing to feed on. The soap's ingredients are already working. And your skin can start repairing.
Pro tip: If you're finding that your skin feels dry or irritated from the treatment process, a good antifungal-safe moisturizer makes a big difference. Andrew's Tea Tree Cream was designed specifically for this. It hydrates the skin without feeding the fungus, which is the problem with most regular moisturizers. Regular lotions can actually create the damp environment fungus loves. The tea tree cream does the opposite: it repairs and protects. A lot of guys use it as their Step 2 after the soap, morning and night.
Step 6: Treat your feet too.
Here's something most guys don't know: the same fungus that causes jock itch also causes athlete's foot. They're the same dermatophyte species. And they travel.
If you have athlete's foot (even mild, even just slightly itchy or flaky skin between your toes), you're reinfecting your groin every time you pull your underwear up over your feet.
Lather your feet with the Veloma soap every time you use it. Even if your feet seem fine. Think of it as prevention for the reinfection cycle that most guys don't even know exists.
For guys who prefer a quicker option: The Veloma Antifungal Body Wash uses the same biofilm-disrupting ingredients in a liquid formula. Some guys use the soap bar for targeted treatment on the groin and the body wash for a faster full-body coverage, including the feet, chest, and back. It's the same science in a different format.
Step 7: Socks on BEFORE underwear.
This one sounds too simple to matter. But it matters.
If you put your underwear on first, your bare feet (which may still carry fungal spores on the skin surface) pass through the underwear fabric as you pull it up. Those spores transfer to the inside of your underwear, which then sits directly against the skin you just treated.
Socks on first. Then underwear. Every time.
Small change. Big impact on the reinfection cycle.
While we're talking about underwear: the fabric you wear all day matters more than most guys realise. Synthetic materials trap heat and moisture against your skin, which is exactly what fungus needs. Veloma's Bamboo Boxers are made from 92% recycled bamboo fibre, which is naturally moisture-wicking and breathable. They keep the area dry and cool throughout the day, even during workouts. A lot of guys who switched to bamboo after clearing their infection say it's the single change that stopped the cycle from repeating. It's not a treatment. It's an environment change.
Step 8: Continue for 4-6 weeks. Even when you feel better.
This is the hardest rule to follow. And the most important.
Most guys start to feel real relief somewhere between Day 3 and Day 7. The itching eases. The redness starts to fade. You sleep through the night without waking up scratching.
And that's when most guys stop using the soap.
That's a mistake.
Here's why: what you're feeling at Day 7 is the biofilm cracking and the active fungus dying. But the spores, the dormant seeds of the fungus, are still embedded in the skin. Biofilm can begin rebuilding in as little as 14 days after you stop treatment. If you quit at Day 7 because you feel better, the fungus regrows. And that's the cycle you've been stuck in with every cream, spray, and prescription that "worked for a while and then came back."
The full 4-6 weeks is what separates temporary relief from actually breaking the cycle.
Even when you feel 100% clear, keep going. Finish the protocol.
Step 9: Hot wash your towels, underwear, and sheets. Every time.
The fungus you're killing in the shower doesn't just live on your skin. It survives on fabric. For months.
If you dry off with the same towel, put on underwear from yesterday's pile, or sleep on sheets you haven't washed in a week, you're re-exposing yourself to the spores you just washed off.
The rules are simple:
Every towel gets one use, then into the hot wash. Underwear gets washed in hot water after every single wear. Sheets should be washed weekly during your treatment protocol, in hot water.
Cold or warm wash cycles don't kill fungal spores. Hot water does. This isn't optional during the treatment phase.
Step 10: After you're clear, use 2-3x per week for maintenance.
You've finished the protocol. The itch is gone. The redness has cleared. You're sleeping through the night again.
Now what?
Don't go back to regular soap and hope for the best. The environment that created the infection in the first place (your body, your lifestyle, your climate) hasn't changed. You still sweat. You still wear clothes that trap moisture. You still live in the same climate.
The difference now is that the biofilm is gone and the fungus is cleared. Maintenance keeps it that way.
Use Veloma 2-3 times per week as your regular shower soap. Most guys just swap it in permanently. No extra steps. No extra time. Same shower, better soap.
Prevention is always easier than treatment.
THE RESULTS TIMELINE: WHAT TO EXPECT
Every body is different. But after working with 17,000+ men, here's the pattern I see most often:
Days 1-3: You might not notice much. The biofilm disruptors are working beneath the surface, breaking down the protective shield. Some guys notice a slight drying of the skin. This is normal. It means the tea tree oil is doing its job.
Days 3-7: This is when most guys notice the first real change. The itching starts to ease. You might sleep through the night for the first time in weeks. The redness begins to calm down.
Week 2: Visible improvement. The rash is fading. The irritation is significantly reduced. You start to forget about it during the day.
Week 3-4: For most guys, this is when you feel clear. The urge will be to stop here. Don't. Keep going through Week 4 at minimum to make sure the spores are eliminated.
Week 5-6: Protocol complete. Transition to maintenance. You're done.
If you're a long-term sufferer (2+ years), your timeline might stretch a bit longer. That's normal. Years of built-up biofilm takes more time to fully clear. Stay with the protocol.
THE 3 MOST COMMON MISTAKES
After 17,000+ customers, these are the three things that sabotage results more than anything else:
Mistake #1: Rushing Step 3. The contact time is not optional. If the soap doesn't sit for 3-5 minutes, it can't penetrate the biofilm. Most guys who say "it didn't work" were rinsing in under a minute.
Mistake #2: Stopping when you feel better. Feeling better at Day 7 means the protocol is working. It doesn't mean it's finished. The biofilm rebuilds in approximately 14 days. If you stop at the first sign of relief, you'll be right back where you started.
Mistake #3: Not treating the full environment. Your skin is only one part of the equation. Your feet, your towels, your underwear, your sheets: all of these carry spores. If you treat your skin but ignore the environment, reinfection is almost guaranteed.
THE FULL PROTOCOL AT A GLANCE.
Take a screen shot of this;
- Use daily at night before bed
- Lather generously. Cover the entire area, not just the rash
- Let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Set a timer.
- Rinse thoroughly
- Dry COMPLETELY. Use a hair dryer on cool/low for 30-60 seconds
- Treat your feet too, every time
- Socks on before underwear
- Continue for 4-6 weeks minimum
- Hot wash all towels, underwear, and sheets after every use
- Maintenance: 2-3x per week after you're clear
Follow this protocol exactly. Give the biofilm disruptors the time they need. And if you have any questions at any point, reply to any email from us or reach out at info@veloma.store. I read every message.
You've already made the hardest decision. Now give it the best chance to work.
