B.O Problem?

Question

one of my friends has a bad b.o problem, how do I tell him about it without sounding bad?

Answer 1

I don't know. That is a big personal problem. You may have to go ask your nurse at school to help you out. How sad for that person and for you.

Answer 2

Very touchy subject.....Hopefully you are good friends. Get them alone and tell them you just want them to know and if you had something you would want them to tell you. Make sure that you are letting them know because you care. However, be prepared for them to be angry, hurt and not want to be around for awhile. If this person has B.O. and he is not doing things take bring that about sports, or something. Then there could be a medical problem. Are you the only one this bothers or are others complaining too? Or could all of this be solved by some deodorant and body spray?

Answer 3

have a chat -possibly with other friends as well - about which deoderants you use and mention that you feel really smelly if you exercise and don't wash afterwards - that should drop a big hint - if not, you cold be a really good friend and mention it to her in private. if you say first - i have something very embarrasing i want to say, he/she will try to help you feel more comfortable - you could ease the pain for both of you by buying them a small deoderant that you use and giving it to them when you tell them
phew!
finished!!

Answer 4

Just tell him nicely.

Ask him if he has any favorite smells, like deodorants or aftershves. If he doesn't have one, tell him your favorite one is....
and would he like to wear it for you because you like it so much.

Once he gets in the habit of using the deoderant tell him how much you prefer him when he smells nice and say to him especially if he has had a shower or bath how wonderful he smells and try to get him into the habit of cleanliness

Answer 5

Well, it's probablyu going to sound bad no matter WHAT you say, but you should tell him for his own good. I mean, if I smelled bad, I'd want someone to tell me.

It will probably be embarassing, but maybe just be like "Do you smell that?" Like not in a mean tone, but in a regular tone. Just bring it up, and bring up hints.

Or else, you can just bring it up directly and be like "Do you use underarm deoderant?" Just don't be all like "EWWW OMG YOU SMELL!!!11"

Answer 6

One easier way that just saying P.U. is to pick up some deodorant/soap/cologne etc, say you picked up the wrong kind for your use, it is non returnable, and would he like to try it since you really liked the prodcut's fragrance.

Answer 7

buy him a lynx set and have a chat with him, perhaps with the support of another friend her will be embarrassed thou but it's for the best, that's what I had to do with my friend it's the right thing to do, you don't want people talking about him

Answer 8

I think you should tell your friend that he /she has a bad hygiene, but say it like this, ''you know i not trying to be mean but you need to work on your hygiene. This is my best advice, hope it work.

Answer 9

you smell like a pile of crap! go take a shower for the first time in your life. it does real wonders and then i might actually want to hang out w/ you when you dont smell like crap. either that or change your pants, we all know how you take craps in your pants. either the person shits himself/herself or he doesnt clean himself/herself, tell them the problem and truth/your opinion.

Answer 10

rather you than me but if i stunk and hadnt realised (i dont understand how people dont realise themselves!) well i would want to be told!

so just be honest and say i love you but you kind of smell and im only telling you this cos you are my friend, why dont you try sure?
