Omos has offered a straightforward message for anyone looking to improve their daily hygiene routine: start with the basics.
The 7-foot-3 Nigerian Giant recently discussed his approach to staying clean and smelling good, laying out four steps that begin in the shower and end with fragrance. Omos did not present the advice as complicated or expensive. Instead, he stressed consistency, proper cleansing and making sure the foundation is handled before moving on to deodorant, lotion or cologne.
His comments arrive after a notable in-ring result at AAA Triplemania 34 night one, where Omos defeated Rey Mysterio. While his size and physical presence have long made him one of wrestling’s most visually distinctive competitors, Omos made it clear that he takes personal hygiene just as seriously as his conditioning and presentation.
“Start With Washing Your Ass”
Omos’ first piece of advice was delivered with no hesitation. For him, every other product is secondary if someone is not properly washing in the first place.
For more background on this topic, read La Catalina Dethrones Flammer for AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at Triplemanía 34.
“First things first, start with washing your ass. All the other stuff doesn’t work if you don’t wash your ass.”
Omos explained that he prefers using an African neck sponge, saying he wants an abrasive tool that can help remove dead skin. In his view, cleansing thoroughly is the essential first stage of the process, not an optional step that can be covered up with a stronger scent later in the day.
“I’m an African neck sponge guy. You want something abrasive to get the dead skin off your body. You want to be well cleansed after. That’s the first thing first: make sure you’re washing your ass.”
The message was blunt, but the point was simple. Deodorant and fragrance may be part of a grooming routine, but they are not replacements for showering and washing properly. Omos’ advice put cleanliness ahead of presentation, with the latter only becoming relevant once the basics are covered.
That distinction also reflects the practical nature of his routine. Wrestlers spend long days traveling, training, performing and appearing at events. A consistent personal-care regimen can be an important part of feeling prepared, particularly in an environment where competitors are in close physical proximity during matches, promotional appearances and travel. Omos did not frame his comments as an elaborate lifestyle system. He framed them as common-sense maintenance.
Deodorant Comes Next
Once someone has showered and cleaned themselves, Omos believes deodorant should be the next priority. He specifically recommended looking for a product that offers 24-hour protection, though he also acknowledged that cost can affect what people buy.
“Second thing is, get your ass some deodorant. 24 hours, preferably. If that’s too expensive, I hate to call them out because they don’t pay me no money, and I like money, Mitchum has a pretty good brand. That’s what I use.”
Omos’ mention of Mitchum came with a humorous disclaimer, as he noted that he was not being paid to promote the brand. The larger takeaway was not tied to a particular label, but to his preference for dependable deodorant and a routine that holds up over the course of a full day.
His comments also kept the focus on practicality. The Nigerian Giant did not suggest that people need a premium collection of grooming products to take care of themselves. He emphasized getting a deodorant that works, then moving on to the remaining steps. The order matters to him: clean first, deodorant second, and only then the products intended to moisturize or add scent.
Lotion Before Fragrance
The third part of Omos’ routine is moisturizing. He said lotion should be applied before fragrance, explaining that he looks for products containing vitamins and oil so that his skin remains hydrated.
“Third thing is, before the fragrance, lotion. Get some lotion that has vitamin and oil in it. That way, your skin stays hydrated.”
It is another element of the routine that centers on preparation rather than simply masking odors. In Omos’ outline, lotion serves a purpose of its own. The fragrance is saved for the final step, after the body has been washed, protected with deodorant and moisturized.
The sequencing offers a clear four-part structure:
- Wash thoroughly.
- Use deodorant.
- Apply moisturizing lotion.
- Finish with fragrance.
For Omos, fragrance is the finishing touch rather than the centerpiece. That was a consistent theme throughout his advice. Smelling good begins with being clean, and the products that follow are there to complement that foundation. His emphasis on lotion also showed that his approach goes beyond just showering and applying deodorant; keeping skin hydrated is part of the overall routine.
Fragrance Is the Final Touch
Omos’ fourth and last recommendation was fragrance. He did not attach a specific brand or scent to that portion of the discussion, but he was clear that it belongs at the end of the process.
“Last but not least, the fragrance.”
That short conclusion fit the larger point of his advice. Fragrance has a role, but it cannot do the job of a shower, deodorant or lotion. By placing it last, Omos reinforced his belief that grooming should be built in layers, beginning with hygiene and ending with scent.
There is an obvious humor in hearing such direct advice from one of the biggest athletes in professional wrestling, but Omos spoke with conviction when describing his habits. His comments were neither vague nor overly technical. He gave an accessible checklist and explained why each stage matters to him.
Omos Says He Washes “Everything”
When asked specifically whether he washes his feet, Omos left no room for doubt about how seriously he takes his shower routine.
“I wash my feet. I wash everything. Showers twice a day. The whole nine yards. I’m a stickler for hygiene.”
The twice-a-day showering detail underscores the discipline behind his recommendations. Omos is not simply offering an occasional reminder about deodorant. He described a daily approach centered on regular showers and making sure no part of the body is overlooked.
His answer about washing his feet was particularly direct, but it matched the tone of everything else he said. Omos’ central message was that hygiene requires attention, not shortcuts. The shower is where the work starts, and the rest of the process follows from there.
For a wrestler of Omos’ stature, the topic also carries an amusing visual contrast. He stands 7 feet 3 inches tall, making him an imposing figure in any ring or public setting. Yet his advice was not about status, luxury or a celebrity-endorsed regimen. It was about using a cleansing tool, putting on deodorant, moisturizing and applying fragrance after the earlier steps are complete.
Fresh Off a Triplemania Victory
Omos’ hygiene discussion follows his victory over Rey Mysterio at AAA Triplemania 34 night one. The result put the Nigerian Giant opposite one of the most recognizable and accomplished names in lucha libre history, and Omos emerged victorious.
That win is a reminder of the contrast that has defined Omos’ presentation as a performer. He brings overwhelming size to the ring, while Mysterio is synonymous with speed, experience and lucha libre innovation. At Triplemania 34 night one, Omos defeated Mysterio, adding another major result to his record.
Outside the ring, however, Omos’ recent comments showed a more humorous and everyday side of his public persona. The advice may have been delivered in characteristically forceful language, but its message was easy to understand: wash thoroughly, use deodorant, take care of your skin and save the fragrance for last.
Omos summed up the mindset with his own routine. He showers twice a day, says he washes everything, and considers himself a stickler for hygiene. For anyone looking for a simple grooming checklist from the Nigerian Giant, he has already supplied it in four direct steps.
