I have a friend (who I really hope never reads this question) that has a bit of an odor problem. When I was at her house the other day I used her restroom and didn't see a bar of soap in there anywhere. All I saw was a bottle of BB&B body wash (Freesia or Plumeria, I can't remember). I recalled one day when we were gonna go to a party and I waited for her to take a shower- when she came out, she just smelled like Freesia mixed with body odor. Also, everytime I'm around her and she takes off her shoes I end up throwing up in my mouth... I've never smelled such a horrid foot odor.
Also, another friend of ours told me that she (the girl w/ the odor) doesn't wash her 'special place' with anything more than water... she said the doctor told her not to... Is that correct ladies?
So what do you guys think. Are BB&B products sufficient for bathing, or is that just something you use after using real soap (bar or liquid)?

1) douching pushes bacteria higher up the vaginal canal so it's more harmful then helpful.
2) most soaps are germacidal....but not antibacterial. is she only washing her hair and not her body?
3)different soaps, deoderants and perfumes react differently with different people's body chemistry....a perfume which may make you cream your pants when one girl wears it, may smell like wet toilet paper when a different girl wears it. she needs to search for a deoderant and fragrance that will compliment her body chemistry.
4) if the doctor really told her not to use soap in that area...it must be for a reason....she may in fact be allergic to an ingredient in alot of soaps.
5)if she has bad foot odor, buy her a pair of sandals as a gift...the more the foot is exposed to air the less it will stink.
6)also some medical conditions cause bad odors, so be mindful of her health status. and it also happens alot durring puberty.
7)If you want to try to get her to smell better in the most settle way possible...go out and buy her a gift basket that has things like fragrances...nice smelling soaps and possibly a deoderant all of the same brand/fragerance...it might make her feel special each time she uses it and may make her use thos sorts of products more.

I think you are talking about Bath and Body Works, but yeah it does help with odor, and you should use soap down there, she just needs to take a correct bath or maybe she just has a bad body odor. Tell her to see a doctor! If you smell it she smells it to.

All soaps are germicidal, it sounds like she's not using them. Doctors say don't douche. There is nothing wrong with soap on the outside. Don't know what you're going to tell her though.

They invented Douches for the ladies private regions, perhaps you should buy her one and she'll use it. Summer's Eve is a popular Douche that will make her private areas smell like flowers.
