Phew.. You Stink!

Probably she is unaware that she smells. Maybe you could suggest that her deodorant may not be strong enough. She might have to switch to an antiperspirant. She also might be eating something that is making her stink. Another thing is that she might perspire a little heavier than normal at which she should see the doctor. I have not been in your situation, but I know that some perfumes have a bad effect on me. So tell her that the soap she uses does not do a good a job as cleaning as she thinks.

that would be hard to say... hmp.. i guess u have to tell it to her even if she might be ofended.. you just have to be carefull to your words and say that you are just concern friend.. ;) i guess she will understand it.. tell her that she must go to a dermatologist and have some advice from a doctor..;) it would be the better if you'll say it than to keep it.. ;) goodluck and have a nice day.. ;)

It's probably best not to say anything. I know that this is unpleasant, but I have the feeling that your co-worker is already of this and would actually like to smell better but just can't. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm suspecting that your co-worker has a medical condition that causes her odor to be out-of-control. What you could do would be to read up on this possibility, and, if you hear of a breakthrough, take her aside and let her know about it.

I don't think there is a "nice" way or approach to say that someone stinks, as I have previously experienced that on my past fling. Sad thing is, instead of taking it as a word of advice, she took it personaly. To which I really felt sorry for her, because what i was saying is not for my own good but simply for her well-being. If your co-worker reacts like what I have put as an example here, then it could be better if you'd just stay away from her or you can either make her feel that she smells unpleasant..

I would take the coward's way out, and write an anonymous letter, trying to be tactful as possible.

I work with a several women in an enclosed office who are morbidly obese. One is a slob, so even if she is not there her cubicle reeks. Lets not even talk about the bathroom after they leave it.. IDK there really is no PC way to tell someone they reek. My own mother smells like garlic.. I can't bear to tell her. Its rough!

I think, you're so right. There's no nice way to tell her. Just be frank with her and say something like, no offense but did you know there's a way to improve your personal hygiene? Have you tried using blah blah blah? I use blah blah blah and it works well for me. What are you using currently? I hope I've been helpful my friend.

No, there really isn't a nice way of telling someone they reek. Just be as tactful as you can, but be honest. Reccomend a deodorant to her. Say something like "have you fried (insert deoderant name) ever? It works really well. i think you would be really satisfied with it."

I don't think there is. If you have already talked to her about her b/o and given her spray, it could be that she has not been washing her clothes properly so the b/o smell is still on there. I'm not sure what else you can say or do for her if you have talked to her already? sorry!

Yes, I guess there's really no nice way to say to a person that he stinks. What I do is make a gesture to relay a message that I smell something awful in the air. Like if I'm talking to someone with fould breath, I lean back to avoid catching his breath. Sometimes, they seem to realize what the back leaning is all about, and in a few days I notice an improvement.

I know a case like this and all the coworkers decided to talk with their supervisor about the problem and the supervisor was the one that made the approach to that person in particularly.

I had a friend(co-worker) that never seemed to shower...at least not enough because she had a terrible odor about her all the time. Every time a customer came thru that smelled bad, I'd mention it to her and say, "how is it that people can go out in public without showering or brushing their teeth??" "They must not realize how bad and offensive they smell." For xmas, I got her a gift basket full of smelly soaps,bath oils, etc. It took a while but eventually she got the message. hope this helps.

honestly, i don't think there is a good way to tell a person she got a foul odor..we can just talk to them in a manner way and kindly tell them they have an odor problem..but by doing this there is no way to assure that we wont offend them..its with the person's care on how they would take it..they should take it as a compliment so that they will improve without getting hurt and would probably thank you for telling her so..but its so easy to say but not so easy to do..

if you have given your coworker body spray but he still B.O ,you can say it directly to him that he has B.O. But with words that make him understand that you really care and don't want him to be ashame in front of other people, especially in front of someone like his girlfriend or his wife.

As others have said, she may be unaware with it. Maybe trying buying her a perfume or deodrant (even a light spray as you said they don't effect your allergy) and hope she gets the message. You could even leave it annoymously and just leave it with her name on somewhere she is bound to see it and make sure no one else see's you do it too. About the B.O. take some mints or chewing gum to work with you and offer her one Other than that, there's no real nice way you can say it unless you ask her what kind of deodrant she wears or mention a light spray one that you recommend (subtley ofcourse) that's all I can suggest.

I have been in your situation, but for my classmate. luckly,her body odor not strong. If I were you, I said to her friendly"She should go to see the doctor," and you tell her know, You is good for her.

One way to make him realize that he stinks badly is to make urself stink even worse than him and hower around him the whole day without telling him anything about his body odour or anything related to that. This way he would realize that it is better to smell good than to make fun of urself and then he improve himself by putting some deo or perfumes the next day. try it out, and let me know of the experience. If this however dosen't work, gift him a perfume bottle without letting him know that u gifted him that perfume. All the best...

I don't think there is a nice way

don't-tell your boss instead and let them handle it. there was a lawsuit local to me where an employee sued-and won-because another co-worker told them they stunk and caused them "trauma and mental anguish". appearently,the worker had some kind of health problem that caused the smell.that was the case,anyway.

breepeace just give her a present of colgne and antiperspirant 'and present it to her and say softly this is for your'enjoyment 'and ours also, I dont want someone to hurt your feelings so hope you will accept this gift and wear it for me. my friend.
