This might be brcausr of the food she e as ts. If she is fond of eating really spicy good, then it msnigests in her sweat

Maybe she needs to change her soap to an antibacterial type. Then she has to change in to clean clothes, everytime. As for her armpits, if it gets too sweaty, then she has to shave or wax the hair to minimize odor. She may have to use antiperspirant and deodorizer every so often.
If good hygiene still doesn't do the trick, there may be something internal going on. She may have some system problems that's causing the body odor.

I remember my nanny before. She has this really obnoxious smell but she doesn't seem to know or care. I've bought her a deodorant twice, just so it would help minimize the smell. However, when she ran out of deo, she wouldn't think of buying one for her own. And, I think she wears her clothes without washing them.

If the foul smell comes from the armpit- she needs to choose the right deodorant.
Lemon or lime can eliminate body odor too- you can tell her to try it.
After taking a bath- ask her to rub lemon or lime directly to her armpit and let it dry (do not rinse) but let it dry.

Maybe she perspire much, tell her to used calamansi or small citrus fruits or potassium allum and take a bath regularly and change clothes. Limit her spicy foods too.

Hi my friend boyfriend smells bad too. I told her I can't stay with them longer because I can't breathe well because of the smell. What she did she put more her perfume so that she can't smell him :) she loves much his bf. I realized that his bf bathe twice a day but being a working student he perspire. Much even when he change clothes. she give deodorant to him and he is not even fun of spicy foods. Now that he had a stable job he smells good already. for those who have problems with their armpit used tawas

Hello! Some causes of bad body odor is grooming. But even in-spite of being taking a bath every day, uses good soap and other remedy to take it away still the odor is bad, I think is all about her food that she eats. Spicy foods that you eat can really cause bad body odor. So eating healthy diet is good and make you groom will and happy.
