Showering and deoderant on a daily basis. Some people have to do it more than once depending on how sweaty they are or what kind of job they do.

Getting Rid of Body Odors
You are what you eat
The number one factor in the average person’s odor is FOOD. There is a direct correlation between the quality of food that you eat and your resulting body-odor as the food is processed and distributed throughout your body for energy. Spend just one day drinking nothing but water and staying away from fats and sugars and you will notice a big difference.

That being said, there are other possible causes of bad body odor including kidney and liver disease, fungal infections and poor hygiene. If you suspect a medical problem is at the root of your odor then go and see your doctor.

Tips for Getting Rid of Body Odor
Stay away from refined sugar - it feeds bacteria and will increase your body odor many times over.
Go for a jog or sit in a sauna. You’ll be stinking it up at first, but after a while you’ll flush out your pores and notice that your sweat no longer stinks.
Anti-perspirants work to reduce odor, but they do so by clogging your pores and locking the odor-causing toxins and bacteria underneath the skin. This can lead to underarm cysts and pimples.
If all else fails, spot wash with soap and water.
Try and stay cool, sweat is a transmitter of the odor.
Apply an absorbent powder such as baby powder to your underarms after bathing.
A baking soda+water paste applied to the areas of smelliness can help neutralize existing odor.
Alcohol and tobacco are known to contribute to foul body odors - cut back on the day of your big date.

take a bath twice a day. The cause of the order maybe a build up of dirt so try scrubbing with a loofa. Don't use a shower jel to scrub your skin, use a antibacterial soap.

If it's down there- go see a OBGYN or cut pubic hair.

If it's you armpit- cut hair and use deoderant with baking soda.

Don't use perfume to mask it- it will make the smell worse

If you're over weight- you have to loose some weight.

Stop drinking soda and artificial drinks. Drink lots of water to cleanse your body.

Try getting a purge, to clean out your insides

That's all i can think of now.

PS- that was a very brave question to ask.

Deodorant and/or anti-perspirant and bathing. If this doesn't work, you may want to alter your diet or depending on the location of the BO you may want to utilize baby powder or shower to shower. The following link has other suggestions as well.

In addition to the obvious (shower and deodorant), also use an antibacterial soap like Dial (it really does make a difference).

1. use a strong smelling body wash. (if you're a guy use Old Spice a girl use the really smelly ones)

2. use deoderant. put the bar on your armpits and then use a spray .

3. cologne or purfume

Shave your underarms. Take body mint, and shower twice a day. Using dandruff shampoo as a bodywash on areas prone to oder helps too.

Wash yourself very well. Wear deodorant... make sure it works for you.. some brands are better than others.

Try wearing clothing that allows air in to help cool you off so you do not sweat as much.

But most importantly, clean yourself and then wear deodorant/antiperspirant

Drink lots of H20 it helps cleanse the body of intoxacants which release through our sweat glands. Try drinking 8 glasses a day and this will solve the problem.

Try taking a shower, wearing deoderant, and eating less pungent food. You are what you eat.
