I would say yes. I know that if I had an odor, I would hope someone told me. Then again, I would hope that I noticed it first to save myself the embarassment!!!

Take him to some other people that stink and make sure he knows what he smells like.  Then tell him that he can prevent himself from smelling so bad by using deodorant and such.  Also, let him pick it out from the store.

HaHaHaHa..\nPanties should never smell bad, if they do, the owner must have a personal problem..

I'm sure they already know your clothes probably smell of smoke whether you realize it or not they might not have said anything b/c you keep it away from them.

That’s a tough one. Of course, everyone will probably say, "Ignore them, it doesn't matter what people think", and that's true but that doesn't stop things from hurting. What exactly do they say? Is it because of your clothes and shoes or more like your race or culture? I ask this because sometimes certain are out of hand and sometimes they’re not. I know of some cases where people have talked about someone who did absolutely nothing when it came to personal hygiene. This person wore no deodorant, never brushed his hair and always smelled bad. When confronted, he said it was because he didn’t care about how he smelled, not because he didn’t have the money to take care of himself. If people are talking about you and it something that you know is true then maybe you should decide what to do to make it better. However, if the bastards are being plain rude, obnoxious and disrespectful, stand up for yourself. Confront and let them know that their approval is neither desired nor required.

I think you should just be upfront with him.  Pull him aside (don't let any of your other co-workers know you're going to talk to him though, so he won't get funny looks after you're done with your conversation) and gently and kindly tell him how you feel.\n\nTell him you don't want him to take offense in what you're about to say, but that you feel like you really should let him know that his body odor is...distracting.  \n\nAssure him that you aren't going to make any suggestions about his hygiene because you know that he can surely decide on his own what he wants to do with this information.  You're just there to maybe make him aware of something he might not even have noticed.  \n\nHopefully, he'll really KNOW what to do and this will no longer be an issue.  Good luck!

In some cultures, body odor is actually preferred to products that cover up or prevent the smell.  There is no hygienic reason to use it.

You should tell them before someone else does.

I feel for you. I don't know if you can in the UK but you can in the U.S. Just fire them on the grounds of bad hygiene.Get someother people to sign a statement saying that this person has very bad hygiene. Then if you get took to court for firing them you will have proof. And I do not know any Judge that would expect you to smell someones body odor. Good luck.  Or get a clothes pin! lol.

Well you can take them aside from anyone else and let them know, be direct but kind. You can let them know that at times while talking to them their breathe smells or you can talk about how you care about your teeth and ask them what they do. \nWhat I do is offer them a mint.     but whatever you chose remember at times it is not what you say but how you say it.

All parts of people smell in accordance to how often they wash said parts and if they wear some type of deodorant, anti-perspirant, cologne/perfume, etc....\n\nNo body part automatically smells bad because of what it is....but because of how it is maintained.

You can talk to her gently about it and assure her that it's nothing to be ashamed about. Tell her you'd support her in improving her condition. Suggest some products or treatment that may help alleviate her condition. Don't pretend it's not happening nor make it obvious she's got body ordour. Handle it discreetly and professionally.

Here is the thing, how well do you know the person(s) asking the question(s)? Whatever you feel comfortable sharing with others, do that. If a person is imposing themselves, just say that someone contributed it to you and didn't charge you. This way you are tactfully brushing off their nose problems. Congratulations and have a happy and most splendid day. God bless.
