My question for the most experienced users, how do you guys work around the smell so partner doesn't notice. I usually buy a new shirt in my way to the club (walmart, ross, etc) and tossed it away after-works, but still, the dancers perfume is really strong, yesterday when I got home, she was like "that perfume smells really good, did you put my deodorant?" and I was like yes, it's your deodorant, I couldn't find mine. LOL
So., how do you guys do it?

High-end gyms provide towels and shampoo and soap. But cost about $60/mo. In contrast Planet Fitness runs $10/no but you need your own towels and soap. Decisions, decisions.

Keep cologne in your car. Baby wipes help.
I'm going to focus on this part of your question. Child birth is hell on the body. If your wife works out and has been trying to get back in shape but has plateaud and just can't make any progress with her core have y'all had a doctor check out her diastatis recti muscles aka tummy muscles aka ab muscles? Basically during child birth the ab muscles can usually rip apart from the sternum all way down to the belly button and NO amount of working out will ever get them back. The only solution is some form of tummy tuck or mini tuck where they get sewn back together. if you want to help your wife you should talk about it and see if that's something she wants or needs. If she's tried to get back in shape but can't make any progress it's demoralizing and it's easy for someone to eventually just give up.
Before I got home, I'd go to the gym and shower. She was used to my routine -- go to gym a few times a week -- so that even covered the explanation as to why there was always a gym bag in my car with workout and regular clothes in it.
For glitter, you need to use a vacuum cleaner and tape. Vacuum up as much as you can first, then use tape in your hand to blot up the rest and maybe vacuum off one more time. That should work on clothes, you body, and maybe the hair on your head. Glitter. Lol. Aka "craft herpes" in the homes of small children or tweens.
Maybe you should hit the gym with your wife, OP? She sounds awesome, and just needs to adjust her lifestyle after the childbirth.
Of course, then you come home smelling like baby wipe or whatever. Really depends on how closely she notices you and your smells.
Again, the thing that worked best for me is that nothing was out of the ordinary on strip club days. I always had a gym bag in the trunk. I often came home smelling like I just showered, or alternatively just sweaty and in gym clothes, both on strip club and non strip club days. I always came home wearing the same clothes I left the house in. There was no pattern to get suspicious over.
If ya smelllllll what The Rock is COOKING!
Another trick that I remember when I couldnt shower is that I would rub some body wash on various parts of my body before I went home. It wasn't suspicious because I use body wash in the shower but it did mask the smell. I also always changed clothes between my club visit and going home if I couldn't shower. And I washed as best I could in the club bathroom before I left.
The only other tip I can remember is to avoid strippers who have unusually strong perfume, or who wear glitter, or worst of all, spray on tan.
The only place I could find the good stuff is at WalMart.
At these strip clubs, do you find marriage counselors? Do you find divorce attorneys?
These are the people who can help you.

Habits - I go out often for legit reasons and almost always shower immediately after I return - the exact same routine I use when I return from a strip club - boring routine dulls the watcher.
FeBreze - that stuff kills just about any odor. I carry a bottle in the car and literally spray it on me, front and back, before I get back in the car. It really does kill perfume, smoke, and coochie smells.
Cheap after-shave - I always use the same drug store brand after shave before I leave the house, and keep a bottle in the car. After the Febreze has destroyed the stripper stench (and had time to dry) I reapply the after-shave lotion and ride home with the windows partly open. If there is the same "lingering" scent on me when I get home as there was when I left, I get a free pass to the bathroom for a shower.
Personally I shower and change clothes at home both before and after clubbing. I kiss her before I leave for the club since she'll probably be asleep or close to it when I get back. As soon as walk in the door, I'm probably covered in stripper bodyspray, so I left the windows in the car cracked half way down overnight to air out, as I come inside I strip and put the clothes downstairs for the wife to launder later, and then I shower. Then crawl into bed with the wife. That works for me. She asks if I'm in a better mood for going and if I'm in a better frame of mind now. That's all that matters to her. It's a means to an end as a hard working American. I work hard so I deserve my downtime when I can get it which isn't nearly often enough! It works for us.
For me clubbing is my downtime / release valve from the day for day grind.
anyway... mine wasn't or never will be. glad to be divorced. overall it is better to be single.
