i board at school with another girl in my room.
we kinda know one another, kinda mates nd stuff. but lately her BO has been really really bad. the other night i couldnt get to sleep it was so bad i had t open all the windows, it was aboslutly freezing but i didnt care, and it still didnt go away. i got no sleep and was falling asleep in class..
people walk into our room and are like, ugh! wats that SMELL!?!? im getting really embarrest, and really worried. its just getting worse, i dont think she has very good hygine routines (its not down to a like health problem or anything) im also worried about her because people at school have been commenting behind her back and i feel like such a ***** for talking to people about it but i really just dont know what to do about it....

Okay, you NEED to tell her. How do you know for sure there isn't some kind of health problem? There are several health issues that could be causing the funk that you wouldn't know from looking at her.
It's also possible that her bad hygiene is a result of a mental impairment such as schizophrenia or depression.
Just sit her down and tell her that you are concerned because she doesn't seem to be taking very good care of herself. Let her know that others have probably noticed as well, and you want to help her before it gets out of hand.

U really have no alternative but to tactfully tell her about the problem. Tell her it is out of kindness and compassion as others too have noticed and r making comments in regards to her BO. Does she shower or bathe daily, if it`s underarm odor suggest she shave and use a deodorant. If it`s a feminine problem she should see a doctor. Tell her ur not criticizing, but u don`t want her to be offensive to u or others.
Tough situation....good luck. Here`s one other alternative, If u can`t bring urself to say the words, write it all down , hand her the paper and leave the room for 15 min. When u return see what her reaction is and go from there. Maybe that will open the door for an honest discussion.

She may have a bladder infection and should have it checked. I had a house guest recently who reeks really bad.
To solve it, I bought her some toiletries. I don't know if she used them. I also got her clothes and new underwear too as a gift. I also put in an ionic air breeze in the room with the window open, with a plug in that had a lavendar/citrus scent. It killed the smell pretty much when I also layered the room with cotton linen scented lysol.
Good luck.

Why some people don't smell themselves is beyond me, but it happens. Honesty is the best policy. Take her to the side and tell her. She may get angry but she will appreciate you later. There was a young lady on my job that had horrible body odor, and you would almost throw up if you used the bathroom after her. We all talked about how foul her poonany smelled, and one nurse was going to talk to her about it. Turned out later the poor woman was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and she was only 23. So you never know. Sometimes it's poor hygiene and sometimes it's something else. Best of luck to you.

Just ask her, some people can have a condition where they have more active sweat glands than norm, and over the counter deodorants don't work , also it may be embarrasing her too, she will be most likely be offended but what choice do you have? she may actually appriciate your concern if you suggest making a doctors appointment in a tactful way. good luck. --c

A true firend would tell her straight out to try some body wash , Deodorant, or whatever and tell her in a nice way. It is hard sometimes to smell yourself especially in bad breath.

it simple. tell her to either shw some respect or get out. If she's in to that all natural crap she can go to a all natural health store and get all natural deodarant.... or u go get it for her and just say something like "look what I found at the health store." "I'm not really into it but I thought you might like to try it."

Don't you have a dorm mother or someone who oversees everyone in the building? Couldn't you get them involved somehow without making a big problem for you roommate?
