My Friend has body odor!

i dont know maybe go shopping with her and say oh this works really good and keep talking about it or something

Well, she is an adult after all, and it is her choice. She probably knows she smells and can deduce that other people might talk about her behind her back. I honestly don't see the big deal about it. So she smells? Eh, at least she isn't hurting anyone by it. Plus, and not to sound like a jerk, if you were really a good friend to her you would just tell the other people to get over it and say that you like her the way she is, stinky and all. That's how I feel about it, anyway. There's no medical reason that anyone NEEDS to use antiperspirant, so I don't think it is fair to say she NEEDS to.

You know what? Some people cant smell when they have body odor. So take her to the side and tell her in a nice way.I think she would appreciate it. If it was my friend I wouldnt want people talking about her.

I would tell you to chose a good place and time to tell her. It is now at the stage where you have to tell her and let her know that you odnt love her any less but something has to be done about the BO and you are doing it because you love and care about her.

owh thats hard one, its hard to tell people and say 'hey you stink' if she does not want to use anti prespirants maybe you can use other methods the more traditional way, in malaysia the way to make the body odor gone is to scrub the body with a lime, its does work not only with body odor but also if you have dandruff... it more traditional and no chemical in it

you know, i had a friend who was like that.. i told her straight up.. at least she followed my advice and use it. But there are unreasonable people who just wouldnt care if they are killing people with their smell.. my mum use sarcasm, if that person complaint abt something smelly, she would say "you smell worse!" or to help you in this case, put some fresh ointment on your nose, you know, the 1 that gives you a minty feeling when rubbed on skin.. it will block out the smeely stench from your friends =)

Ohh myy!! hey theer Salonga..how ya doin today? aww hunny you are such a wonderful friend..this is hard and its a gentle situation..but i have been here...i once dated a guy that in teh beginning all was well untill we got serious and then well he let himself go...and the deoderant stopped or he needed stronger...something! he smelled soooooo baddd..and i didnt want tohurt his feeling either..but i took him aside one night and told him..and he listened and a week later it started again..sooo i wrote him a letter saying..our body is our temple and we must take care of it well..blah blah..and that im sorry to say that everyone is talking behind your back how really bad it is..which they did at work..and it pained me to hear it..and that im sorry but he had to do something soon..well long story short..we arent together anymore..mainly cause of the smell..but being friends liek u ..ya just cant walk away..they have deoderant that is made natually..have her look into those..or maybe u can to help her..if she still doesnt do anything..im sorry to say she is doing it to herself..and theer is nothing u can do at that point..i really wish u the best in this situation hun..take care April

If you really were her friend you would just tell her what you told us. That's like having spinache between your teeth and your' so-called friends let you walk around smiling at everyone. Would you want to stink to the point of causing gossip and your' friends not say anything to you? Some friends, huh? Send her to mylot and have her read this discussion. If you are her friend, one way or the other, you should tell her.

Tell her she stinks and hand her some Deoderant!

Tell her darling as soon as possible. Would you want your friend to be grilled by other people? I mean, your friend will listen to you because she trusts you of course. It's a constructive criticism and you as her friend should be doing that because you want the best for her. I understand that you can say it but you have to. But if really you don't have the guts, you can find other means to say it to her, like you tell the husband or you find other indirect means of saying her B.O. to her. You can send her an anonymous letter perhaps, or an article concerning her issue. You can do it! You know your friend better than we do so it's basically who can figure out what to do, on how to say it to your friend. Good luck!

But you can if you do it gently and with love, telling her you are her friend and do not want her hurt by people talking behind her back. suggest that she look for anti prespirants that are natural and I know that there are some so she need not fear the cancer thing. Also tell her not to believe everything she reads as so much information about medical stuff is just full of huey. If it was not written by qualified medical people then do not take it as true.

hello friend iread your discussion and also read your friends comments on that.Well my dear friend now you have tw options left with you.One is to bear the smell or secondly openly tell your friend about the smell.You have to make up your mind what is it that you really want.The choice is entirely uyours friend. have a nice day....

If you have tried every ideas and exerted every effort you've got on your sleeves, then the last resort is to finally tell her straight but with a loving and sweet voice, so as not to upset her. If her husband can't tell her, who else would tell. If you love your friend and really can't take anymore of the gossips, it's high time to inform her that other people are already talking behind her back. That you are just telling her because you dont like what you've been hearing. If she gets upset, which I'm sure she will be, try to calm her down and talk things over. Give her some ideas on what to do. If she doesn't want to use deos then try this.. Both of you research about this so you may also help her in conquering this. There are write ups that says, body odor also comes from the foods we eat and drink. So, tell her try to lessen oily and spicy food coz this could really build up inside our body and causes odor. Be there for her the rest of the way..That's what friends are for..

Hi there! That is really a problem especially if you don't want to tell her yourself. I know how you feel. You don't want to be the one to tell it directly to your friend because you fear that you might upset her. If you cannot do it directly, maybe you can just talk to her husband. Tell him that his wife is becoming the talk of the town because of her body odor. One of you must tell her straight because if no one will tell her and she gets to know it from anybody other than you two, she might blame you for no telling her earlier.
