Answer 1

If you are serious then there are several measures that you can take:
wash with unscented soap - and I mean under armpits, legpits and chest flaps at least twice a day in addition to your weekly bath.
Wash as soon as you wake up as you may have a bladder that dribbles during your sleep (not enough to wet the bed but enough to leave a layer of dried pee around your nether regions)
Remember that its no good getting your body clean and them putting smelly clothes back on. Ensure your clothes are well laundered - using plenty of soap powder.
Avoid garlic, curry and other spicy food as the smell of it comes through in your sweat even days after you have eaten the food.
Don't wear deodorant - wear antiperspirant! Preferably unscented and aluminium based (as they are stronger).
Of course you should have a change of underwear every day - and another if you are going out for the night.
Take a small pack of deodorant wipes with you to freshen up your bits if you think that you are starting to whiff during the day.
If your legpits smell even though you have washed them then you may have picked up a little infection. This can cause your bits to increase in smell (fishy) due to a chemical reaction with the soap - that's how they test for it - and so you smell more the more you wash. Go to your local GU clinic attached to your hospital and they will sort it. Don't be embarrassed about attending a STD clinic as they will only think "He can't smell that much because someone has got close enough to give him the infection!"
Hope your new year is less smelly.

Answer 2

Take a bath daily and be sure to change underwear daily, maybe even twice daily. Also make sure that your clothes are washed regularly with a decent washing powder. Are you also using a good brand deodorant? as some of the cheaper ones don't really work that well. If you follow all these instructions, then you should smell as sweet as a rose before long. Good Luck.

Answer 3

baths are great for soaking but you should try a rinse such as a shower to get all the water from the bath off ya completly also try some creams that are scented and dont over do it with the anti persipant you can block pores causing spots and dry skin

Answer 4

(Assuming this is a serious question;)

Try bathing daily in naturally made products - not the ones based on Laureth Sulphates and their derivatives as your skin might be reacting to it.

Same with deodorant - stop using aluminium based products and switch to natural - Toms of Maine are good products and smell 'manly' as my partner uses them.

Also check your diet - kebab in, kebab smell out!

As for stale urine - change your pants and clean around the area where the cheesey stuff gathers - and even crop your pubes as this will stop the sweat from collecting down in the darkness.

Why not go organic?

Answer 5

If you're being serious then you need to do something about it. Wash twice a day or even more if you've done any exercise or in hot weather. Having a bath once a week is not hygenic, in fact it is disgusting. Try wearing cotton clothes more often as they allow your body to breathe and help prevent sweaty build-ups. Losing weight always helps. If none of these helps, you could always go and see your doctor, but you have to try these solutions first.

Answer 6

You need to take a shower every day, why only on Sundays?

If you`re picture is a true one then you will sweat more than a thinner person.

There are certain medical conditions which cause this, go and see you`re G.P, if the problem remains after showering everyday for a week.

Answer 7

Bath more often!
I shower every day without fail (and sometimes have a bath too, if I'm really stressed out) and use deodorant, yet I can still be a little whiffy at the end of the day just from daily sweating!

Answer 8

Bath or Shower every morning and every night. And keep doing it. Eventually it will become a habit and you will be a clean sweet smelling person.

Answer 9

Take a bath every day and see a doctor

Answer 10

I have the same problem I thought that I was allergic to all deodorants and especially all Secret types and the hypoallergenic brands didn't work but Degree ultra clear worked great and helped stop my sweating.
