What do you see when you open up your bathroom cabinet? If the contents are a disorganised jumble of unused prescription medicines, out-of-date toiletries, half-empty bottles of suncream and other assorted junk, then it's time for an overhaul.

  • Contraceptives

Wishful thinking, perhaps, but you never know when you're going to get lucky or fall into a loving, physical relationship. One thing for sure, however, is that when you do, you need to be prepared. Your bathroom cabinet should always contain a supply of contraceptives, and because you're a bloke and no women in her right mind would stick around if you produced a morning-after pill and said, "just take one of these when we're done," this means condoms. Condoms are the most effective form of contraception (aside from not having sex, but let's pretend I didn't say that), to prevent an unplanned pregnancy, but they also protect against sexually transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhoea, hepatitis and HIV - none of which you want.
