My butt has been starting to smell really bad lately no matter how many showers I take. Why and what do I do?

Okay time for a real answer.\nIt is probably sweat that is causing the bacteria to smell. I would get those masingill wipes (the unscented sensitive ones) and wipe yourself throughout the day to refresh yourself. I would also wear cotton underwear. If you are wearing silk this may be the problem..also thongs may be the culprit. I would stick to regular underwear. \nHope this helps!

maybe you are allergic (the washing powder, your after shave, soap or something)

Because you are a dirty slob.  Take a shower and scrub yourself clean.  Apply a corn starch based body powder and wear clean underpants.  Also, wipe your arse better.

Those odors can be tricky.  I workout 6 days a week, so I have to stay on top of my workout-gear laundry.  It can be a challenge!\n\nHere are a couple of ideas that you might not have tried yet.\n\n - Try using plain distilled white vinegar when you wash the gear, even as a pre-soak.  It will help break up the sweat and odors. \n\n(Test a spot on your gear first, to be sure that the fabric will be okay.)\n\n - Lemon Juice is also recommended.  In my experience, it works well if you soak the clothes in lemon juice+water first. (An hour is good, overnight is better.) then wash. It may have more of a bleaching effect than the Vinegar - so try it with socks first.\n\n - If possible, line dry items. Sunshine is a great help discouraging nasty odors.  If you are drying gear in the dryer, make sure that items are completely dry.\n\n - Specialty cleaners - there are new detergents on the market that are specially designed for workout gear.  Win Detergent is one option (http://www.windetergent.com) and Approach (which was recommended by another responder.)\n\nIn general, I have found that keeping the laundry area clean, and free from dust also helps keep odors at bay. (Dust bunnys love my clothes dryer!)  I have some Febreeze-like odor spray handy, and I make sure that the washer and dryer are not "passing along" any bad odors.\n\n (I give the lint trap a quick spray when I clean it out. )  \n\nGood luck with your training!

Try mixing 1 part of water with 6 parts of bleach. If smell persist try a wire brush.

Start by bathing or showering every day and washing well with soap and warm water. Use an antiperspirant/deodorant. Maybe a little cologne or aftershave too.\n\nTry the link below for more information.\n\nTerry

Are you taking a nice hot shower everyday? Make sure you wash in between folds of skin, and rinse off excess soap. Wear clean clothes (under garments) Use antipersirant,and skin lotions. If necessary, take another shower, when you don't feel fresh.

Several things:\n\n1. Make sure you're using the right deoderant. I've been through three brands (I won't say who) because the first two didn't react well with my body chemistry and left me worse off than going without. Try different brands and see if one is better than the other. Also try spray vs stick vs roll on etc.\n\n2. Check your diet. Garlic and onions seep through the skin adding to door, as do several other vegetables that can cause gas and bodily odors. Don't have to cut them out entirely, but you might want to moderate your intake.\n\n3. Check your clothes. If you're sweating into your sleeves, your body chemistry may not react will with the fabric you're wearing. I had a shirt that, for reasons unknown, stunk like hell when I started to sweat. Finally figured it out and threw the shirt out. Haven't had a problem since.\n\n4. Make sure your body stays cooled inside and out. Heavy material in your clothes, too many layers, bad ventilation etc can all cause you to perspire more. Also keep hydrated. You may pee a bit more often but your body's own cooling system will be better fueled. (Incidentally, using the bathroom more often also helps your body cool off). \n\n5. Consider body sprays. Not something that will mask the odor, but something that will eliminate it. I'd suggest this stuff called Approach. I use it and it works great. www.approachit.net It's natural and safe, and it eliminates odor.\n\nGood Luck!

I would suggest, and it is only a suggestion, that you stop breathing in your farts in the shower.  You sound like you've got a lot more problems than just bad breath.

If there is an unpleasant odor it can be a sign of a yeast infection. I recommend you see your gynecologist and have them do a lab test to tell for sure. If there is a yeast infection a doctor can clear it up in no time.\n\nJust so you know, masking the odor with artificial fragrances will only make matters worse.

Yes, I suggest you consult a physician.  Sometimes B.O. is just a symptom of an underlying disease that has something to do with your internal organs.  If, as you've said, you've tried everything topical to get rid of the smell but you can't, it could have something to do with your diet or something is not working properly inside of you.  Get some tests done and you'll soon find out what it is and get proper treatment for it.

Bacteria grow and feed in the sweat causing byproducts that stink\nuse an anti persperant instead of a deodorant. drink more water for the pee problem. You should pee clear to a slight yellow color with little or no odor. Both problems could be caused by what you are eating as well. Asparagus really makes my urine smell.

Actually to answer your question correctly... I never bathe, I take showers\n\nUmmm... yea every other day is nasty.... I shower usually once a day.... when im hot i like to stay in the shower all day but because i can't a do twice or more a day... But other than that... I don't see the need to shower so often.  Wha could i be scrubbin off so much??  I like feelin fresh but twice a day when its not hot... that just makes my skin ashy\n\noh.... and for the person before me who asked why do you shower at night?? well, sometimes i shower at night too and oil down wit baby oil.  When i get in the bed it feels so good.... put me straight to sleep.  You should try it sometime

Okay a few options:\n\n1. Check your diet. Garlic and onions seep out through the skin. Broccoli and other such give you gas and can also cause odor, and there are plenty of other foods that change your body chemistry as you eat them.\n\n2. Change your deoderant. Maybe a spray instead of a stick, and spray your torso. \n\n3. Check your soap. Some perfumed soaps don't react well with a person's body chemistry making a minor smell more apparent.\n\n4. Make sure you're clothes let your body breathe. Also check to make sure your clothes don't make it worse. I thought I was having an issue but it turned out that one of my suits (for reasons I still don't know) was stinking to high heaven when I sweated. The others were fine.\n\n5. There are several natural odor-eliminatory sprays you can use. www.approachit.net has a really good one. I use it if I know I'll be hustling around in the heat and won't have time to put on deoderant except in the morning. A few sprays and I'm odor-free (not to mention my house and office!)\n\nGood luck!

If you are showering everyday and not getting too sweaty and the area still smells, go to the doctor and have it checked out.

Many diseases cause bad smells; infections, gum disease, but most often, the source is usually the mouth, underarms, genital area, or feet.  \n\nMost of these odors are avoided by  good hygiene: bathing daily, using shampoo and soap; brushing teeth twice per day, seeing a dentist regularly, flossing and using mouthwash; and laundering clothes regularly.  \n\nMany people fail to do these simple things. \n\nIf it's bad breath, allergies that dry the mouth and cause mouth breathing can lead to chronic bad breath. Smoking and bad tooth care lead to bad breath and abscesses of the gums, more bad smells. Genital infections and incontinence lead to bad smells. There are all kinds of bad smells.\n\nA "dirty laundry" greasy oily smell is usually due to failure to wash clothes regularly.\n\nA dirty hair smell accompanies greasy hair.\n\nA putrid (dead animal-like) sweetly-sick stench is often an infection. \n\nAn acrid (sour-bitter-metallic) smell is usually rank sweat from lack of wearing deodorant and showering regularly. \n\nSome people grow up rather neglected and never learn about handwashing, regular bathing or hygiene. Don't assume she knows about this.
