How do you tell someone without hurting their feelings that they smell TERRIBLE and need to take a shower?

The fact is he needs to be told, and you would be doing him a favor. If he smells as badly as you say he does, he is offensive to other people. Say, "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but you have a very bad body odor and need to shower and use a good deodorant daily." At first he may balk, but leaving items around as "hints" is, in my judgment, the cruelest form of telling him. Be open and honest with him. He needs help. Don't abandon him now.

You should buy a gift basket with an assortment of body wash, scented lotion, and throw in some deodorant. Give it to her as a gift and it will seem less offense.

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!!!

The best way is to have someone massage them out for you.  A warm shower works well, or a nice soak in a hot tub.

Some people are hypersensitive to different odors. And then there are some real good reasons for "bad smells." First good hygiene is a must, washing the genitalia area at least twice a day. If sexually active, cleansing the area, even though a condom is used. Drinking plenty of water. And having a good nutritious daily intake of healthy foods. If a bad odor persists, then consult a health professional.  There may be something they can do, when all of the above is not enough.

I feel so sorry for you, a couple of years ago I had the same problem with a temp. that they hired here at the office, he was sitting in front of me and the fan was in front of him blowing the smell to me and to make matters worse I WAS PREGNANT.\n\nI used to spray perfume in my hands and smell it.\n\nI wouldn't have the nerves to tell anyone that they smell. \n\nGood luck!!

Ummm...I had to tell my friend that he has really bad B.O.\n\nWell I didn't really tell him. I just bought him a gift set with deodorant an cologne in it for Christmas! He liked it! He didn't stink anymore for a while. It's coming back now though. Oh well, Christmas is just around the corner!

I'm Indian and I'm offended by what you said. People of any race, creed, color, or nationality can have a stinky smell. It doesn't matter what race that person is. The cause for anyone would be a lack of hygeiene, not taking a shower, not brushing properly, not using mouthwash. If I wasn't such a nice guy, I would report you. Someone ought to though.

Call a friend or relative that lives nearby. You can probably borrow their shower for a bit. Or, if it comes down to it, go buy some water bottles (the gallons) and give yourself a sponge bath.

You can lead up to the subject. Tell them that some soaps and deodrants really don't harmonize with some peoples chemistry. Lately I was wondering if you swithched soap, deodrant, even detergents because sometimes you don't smell all that clean. Let friend know if it were you, you would hope they were honest enough to do the same for you. Because we don't smell ourselves like other people. Good Luck.

maybe you could turn it around and approach it as saying to her, It would be so embarrassing to smell & have nobody tell me--If I ever stink, please tell me.  also, you could try putting deoderant on yourself while being with this friend & mentioning that you hope this helps keep you smelling fresh.  Just have a heart to heart girld talk.  Tell her about your experience with personal hygiene & what you do, then ask her what works best for her.  Maybe she just isn't taught personal hygiene in her home. Good Luck!

Say we are going to eat in a few minutes. Say, "there is handsoap in the bathroom if you would like to wash your hands". Or take the handsoap out from under the sink and say, "here is some hand soap if you want it". You could always be honest and say," ok I'm a germ freak, so if your like me, here is the soap."

This is weird because as I was thinking of questions to ask, I actually thought of THIS one...strange!\n\n  Anyway, if I don't have a shower every day, I feel pretty gross, especially during certain times like the summer and "that time of the month." That's when I sometimes have two a day.\n\n  If I were you, I'd tell this person that it is custom to bathe about every day or so. At least every other day...JEEZ, dude!!!

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!
