Leave soap bars all over the house and buy him colognes from secret admirers? Put a pine tree decal on him while he sleeps? Suggest he lay off the spicy foods because they are bad for his health? take him fishing and "accidentally" push him in?\nSeriously though, not easy to confront someone with, been there once... just asked if he had a medical condition because I was concerned about his recent body odour... good luck!!

Stink? \nNo, seriously, if he used to be closer and now seems distant with no real connection between the two of you, then you have serious troubles in your relationship. Tell him in a non-threatening manner that you are concerned that you are not feeling as close as you used to. Ask him to go to a counselor to help "you" work out your thoughts. If he feels that the counseling is for you, he will feel less threatened by it and may be more cooperative. We men are "fixers" when presented with a problem. We don't want to talk about it, we want to find a concrete answer and solve the problem.\nI hate to say it, but he may not be as close to you anymore because he has someone else to be close to. Only you know him well enough. You must approach him with this though or it will tear you both apart. If he doesn't at least seem concerned with your thoughts and feelings, then he may have already left in his mind.

Make sure you get the UNSCENTED ANTIPERSPIRANT (not just deodorant)STICK. Some are white but make sure is says goes on clear  OR DRIES CLEAR. Those perfumes they put in the scented kind like ocean or baby fresh etc. make odor worse. Try SURE, SECRET, ARIDXX, unscented antiperspirant stick. There is nothing wrong with you!!!!\n\nOh, use a good deodorant soap like dial, safeguard etc. Maybe this will help!!!

My suggestions: Invite your neighbors over for lunch, or out on a picnic, and tell them your concerns. Ask them what they would do in your situation. Try to make it as friendly and non-combative as possible. \n\nPlant hedges along the fence, or better yet, flowers bushes. The hedge alone would deflect a lot of the odor. Night-blooming jasmine grows around my bedroom window. It's delicious. \n\nGet an air purifier to use near your bed. That would help a lot.\n\nPut a fan in or near your window, blowing out. Spray Arm & Hammer's air freshener around your window.\n\nLast but not least, be glad you have five dogs nearby to help protect your property. You'll never know, but their presence may have saved your family from burglaries, rape, even murder. \n\nYou sound like a patient person. Just give a little, compromise where you can. And good luck.

That is sad. Some people have digestion problems and cant help their breath is bad, other are just nasty and dont take care of their teeth. I would be honest with him, but dont tell him his mouth smells like booty gone wrong, offer him a mint or something. Definitly dont be agressive and rude about it.

lol Take her to the store and pick out things with heavily scented perfumes and say, i use this, you should try it. It works great and smells so good. But leave out the part where you're just doing it because she smells and you can't stand it.

If it's just odours then air it outside for at least 4 hours. A day is better.\n\nIf it really must be cleaned then do think of dry cleaning and if it must be washed then do it in as cool a wash as possible and be gentle, like with a lover. Or even gentler than that; cos lets be honest- loving does take a little bit of force. Ooh baby.

I doubt it is a hygiene problem which may provide some relief for you.  As an entomology graduate student I have learned that some types of anthrophilic or "human-loving" arthropods are simply more attracted to certain individuals because of their CO2 emissions, sweat or other natural smells.  I believe that you aren't just being overly sensitive to their annoyance, so make sure that the problem isn't a fragrance or other application.  I don't know of any silver bullets to remedy the problem but you could try adjusting your diet, experiment with eating less of foods you generally consume a high percentage of.  If all else fails and the annoyance it too great you can depend on repellants, Picaridin is a newer one that is available for use. Don't lose hope, good luck.

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.

That is a difficult one... A friend of mine just came right out and told me. I was offended and did not talk to him any after that. I was wrong of course and should have appreciated it.(note: the problem was that I LOVED onions and perspiring after onions is not good).\n\nOne anonymous way would be for a person to leave the individual a bar of soap with his/her name on it... the other way is the blunt way and that is to get the person aside and state that you noticed that tdhey had an odor and it was similar to one your uncle had.. they found out he had (some ficticious thing) epidermal scaling (whatever that is) and he used a Oat meal(or whatever) soap bar and it cured it. Your chances of being disliked after that are good but you would have done the individal a favor...

I would say - "oh man, your feet reek!" Hot or not - his body functions just like everyone elses. If he chose to take better care once he realized that the smell was offensive then yes, I'd do him. If not, then I would take it as a sign that he's more into himself than he is me and I'd walk. They have products on the market for that!

There is a disorder (but I don't know the name!!) that causes some peoples sweat to have a very offending odor..I think she can talk to her doctor about it, granted she acknowledges she has an issue, and he/she would be able to help her out. Other than that, try buying her scented bath stuff and body sprays...don't let her know it's because she has an odor..but present it in more of a romantic way. Light scented candles when you can and use a good air freshener..Buy one of those plug-in ones or a Febreeze machine..those constantly release aroma so your room is filled with scent all day long...Good luck :)

It's better to come from you then have him walking around stinking without knowing it.  It's possible he needs dental work done.  There are also stomach diseases that cause bad breath too.  It's time to have a sit down and just straight talk about it.  He might seem hurt but in the end he'll be grateful you told him.

pour some ammonia around they don't like the smell and will associate the smell with your place and stay away. put some in a trail over to neighbours late at night and fed them regular there. make sure it is neighbour you don't like

Firstly, tell them in private and quietly:)\n\n Secondly, do it carefully. Maybe just hint by asking tdid they forget to do something before thy left the house, like check for a handerchief or use deodorant.\n\n Thirdly, don't make too big a deal about it. There is a difference between hygiene problems and being a little sloppy; Cutlure comes into it a lot too.

First, you need to take care of the health concern.  Call your local or state department of health, and tell them that you may have a toxic mold problem and ask them if they can send someone over to inspect the mold.  Also, consult with your doctor to find out if you need to move out for health reasons.\n\nSecond, find a personal injury lawyer that does toxic mold cases so you can get an assessment of your rights.  Toxic mold can be a serious problem.  Your landlord-tenant dispute could just be the tip of the legal iceberg.
