If she's your friend, just tell her she doesn't smell all that great, and suggest that she bathe more often.

Hi!
You could try buying her a bubble bath/soap/perfume basket from a really nice place like Bath and Body Works or even Victoria Secret. Then give it to her as a gift. Tell her that you spent a lot of time and money finding her the perfect gift, and you want her to use it... and if she doesn't use it, your feelings will be hurt. Tell her you are going to check the next time you go out together and if she doesn't smell like the scent you bought her, you will be sad.
If she is your friend, she won't want to hurt your feelings, so she will use what you bought her.
Oh, and when she does wear the scent you gave her, make sure you lavish her with compliments. Tell her, over and over, how nice she smells. Tell her how wonderful the perfume is and that it suits her, that you might even have to buy a bottle of the scent for yourself. Tell her that you think the perfume she is wearing will probably drive all the men wild.
Giving her compliments on her smell may make her want to smell good all the time.
Or, for the times you are out with her, carry a bottle of body spray in your purse. Periodically pull it out and spray yourself with it, then hand it to her like it is a usual thing (without comment or ceremony). Hopefully, she will just take it and use it like you did. This should work the same way as when you pull out a piece of gum for yourself and then hand the pack over to your friend so they may have a piece to. It creates a situation where most people feel obligated to take what you are offering since you are being kind enough to offer.
Good Luck... T.

I completely understand! My 35 year old girlfriend doesn't wash very often. It's not very pleasant. As for buying products for bathing or smelling good I did it several times but she's still not much cleaner. I've come to the conclusion that I can't change her, she has to do it for herself.
Or, if she's a true friend, you should be able to tell her that she has an odour and that she should wash every day without hurting her feelings. I've done it successfully when I was about 16 years old. You just have to be very gentle when you talk to her. Depending on her age she might get offended at first but if she has any common sense she'll realize that your trying to help her.

Go shopping with her and tell her that you feel "not so fresh" with this warm weather and get some things that will really help even without bathing, such as shower-to shower. Make it fun and suggest she try one scent and you try another in body powders, sprays, soaps, etc. Kind of like offering a mint to a person whos breath is "not so fresh" and saying that you know that yours is stinky. Make sure you ask her how she likes the products and be especially sure to compliment her effusively when she does smell good! She'll get the point with no hard feelings.

Well get a sweet smelling soap and give it to her so she will smell better. If your really her friend just tell her straight. She should bathe/shower more. If she really is a good friend she'll understand and you won't hurt her feelings.

Take her to Bath and Body Works or somthing, some soap store. And help her invest in some nice smelling soaps, deoderants, shampoos, body washes, etc. Or, buy her these things and give them to her for no special occasion, just as a nice thing to do.
Or theres always, write an anonymous note and slip it in her purse or even into her mailbox!! =]
Sincerely hope this helped.

Yes, buy her a cute gift basket filled with goodies- deodorant, bubble bath, shower gel, lotions, etc. Give it to her and tell her that as a friend and since she is becomming of age... obviously you are teenagers... or close to that age... and that women need to bathe and take care of themselves daily. Just tell her what you told us, you don't want to hurt her feelings, but as a friend, she needs to know so that others do not judge her. You want her to be accepted by everyone not judged, and you are helping her with that as a friend.

Actually, it's not necessary to bathe every day, but if she she has odor, then she needs to wash more. Maybe she has to conserve water. Telll her that Baby Wipes are great for washing in odor areas between baths. Some people are too dry skinned to bath each day.

If she is your friend, then tell her. But say it nicely like tell her that it is kind of disturbing, and suggest that she takes bath more often. And tell her the advantages of taking a shower. Try to persuade her! GOOD LUCK!

ask her to take a swim with you and joke that taking a bath feels good.. maybe the reason why she doesnt take a bath that often is that they are conserving water and they dont have the money to pay for their water bill.just be considerate if you're a real friend..you can do it.all you have to do is not breath whenever she's not around.goodluck.
