How Do I Tell A Friend She Has Bad Body Odor? by DrPott: 8:19pm On Jul 30, 2022
I have a friend who has this. She walks into the room and everywhere is bad. Like a gutter.

I don’t know how to tell her without making her depressed or making her feel horrible.

I’ve considered taking her out for shopping and buying her stuff like deodorant but she’s too stubborn and will refuse.

Must you bring it to nairaland so that people can mock her undecided.

I don't even know why people are scared to say things like this. Just Sit her down and tell her you have noticed something which is not nice.

Haba!! You are her friend for a reason. She will be glad you told her the truth and she will respect you more.
Tell her the necessary things she should do and give her some money to shop.

I’m sorry for bringing it here. I just didn’t know what to do.

People will tell me I’m closer to her and will make sly comments about her hygiene and I’ll not know what to say. What if it depresses her?

You're right, but giving her money is not compulsory. He's not obligated to do that most especially, if the lady is financially buoyant.

Whether she's financially buoyant or not. Let him count some money and hand it over to her to shop the necessary items she need. That's to show he really care about her condition and no hard feelings or mockery. I'm very sure she would appreciate.

SenoPriceless:

See don't allow any how insult you for bringing it here. It's very hard to tell people this kind of thing. People are hard to help in this kind of situation
Please oo! where in my write did I insult op for bringing it here??

Besides, op said they're close friends and I'm sure it would be very easy to open up to her.

Assuming he said she's a stranger or just distance friend, I would have adviced him to mind his own business.

Don’t tell her
Get her deodorants and perfumes as gifts
She’ll get the message. If she doesn’t, tell her in the nicest way you can, I repeat, nicest way you can. Don’t go and shatter someone’s self esteem oh

See my wahala, I don’t know how to do it without shattering her self esteem.

Abi I should lie and tell her I had body odor too and that’s why I understand her. It’ll probably Soften the blow

Don’t tell her if you feel it will sound rude to her

Yea
You can tell her you once battle body odour thats why you understand her

Are you sure she takes her bath twice a day

And another, the smell may be caused by the mixture of body cream and perfume she uses

Maybe she wasn’t bathed well when she was a toddler. If that’s the case, she may have to live on deodorants and perfumes all her life

But if the odour came during puberty and refused to go, constant sponge bath and deodorants can reverse it.
Wait oh are you sure she is not a teenager?
Re: How Do I Tell A Friend She Has Bad Body Odor? by Divoc19(f): 9:06pm On Jul 30, 2022
Tell her you will like her to smell like lavender and give her some perfume but, be careful because she may not really care.

Some people love their own smell am guilty at times

Just tell her.

Start by asking her if she sweats alot...lie that you just noticed she smells like she sweats alot and you used to have that little issue until you started using..........

She will want to know what you use cause she knows she has a problem.

She is your friend so be a friend.

Good idea....
Re: How Do I Tell A Friend She Has Bad Body Odor? by casdoruche: 12:49pm On Jul 31, 2022
Most likely it's the vagina. She needs to eat more pineapples and was there well. Check is it is an infection. However, of it's not that then it's natural and can only do that by bathing more times and using deodorant

You are really dumb and retarded infact the dumbest I have ever seen, when the dictionary is checked for the meaning of dumb, your picture should be there.

Aren't you a feminist again according to your signature, what happened to equal rights and equal responsibility.

Not surprised though because you just demonstrated the traits of 90% Nigerian so called feminist

And please explain how this thread is rediculing when we 100% don't know her offline
