Wouldn't you know before anyone else that you have a personal hygeine problem? How do you let them know?!?

Question

I mean au natural is not cool, never has been! So wouldn't you smell yourself first before you go around other people and force them to smell your "naturalness"? Unscented deodorants, lotions, and soaps still would be better than nothing at all. I work in close quarters and this is ridiculous!!

Answer 1

Tell the person this " other ppl- wont tell you this because they dont care, but I do and I just wanna tell you that you smell, I'm telling you this cause I care."

maybe that will work ...

Answer 2

lol, I know. Unscented soaps and stuff are still kinda "natural" right cuz it will still let some smell from the person get out. Umm I dunno how to tell people. awhile ago it was on the news about some website that you contact the wensite and they send out a pack of like deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo..u know the basics in like a travel size with a anonymous letter not saying who its from but just saying "somebody really think you need to practice better hygiene" stuff like that. So that way the stinker will never know who it was directly from but knows they got a issue.

Answer 3

No, you wouldn't smell yourself first. Consider this: if your house smells, do you notice more when you've been sitting in it for a day, or when you come home from somewhere fresh and clean? You notice it more when you come in from somehwere fresh, because you are used to the smell if you are sitting in it all day. In other words, if a person smells, they are literally smelling it all day. It will appear normal to them, and their brain and senses will not notice it as much as something unusual. It is perfectly normal for someone to reak like heck and never know it until someone is kind enough to let them know. How? By being polite, gentle... and direct.

Answer 4

Well considerign the fact that most deodorants, lotions, etc have known carcinogenic ingredients in them, some people choose not to put that on their body and let it seep into their skin. However, a daily shower should get rid of body odor.. if not, you may be sick.

Answer 5

Actually people cannot always smell themselves whether you believe it or not. Odor can also be a sign of a medical condition.

The best thing to do is approach H.R. or a manager and ask them to deal with it. Resist the urge to do anything immature such as leaving deoderant on their desk.

Answer 6

Some people do not like to use deodorant. Body odor really doesn't bother me. I have the same reaction to people, men are just as guilty as women, of bathing in their perfume and cologne. It is a major assault on the senses! Blek!

Answer 7

If u smell that bad of course u would think u could smell yourself,but they might like that so called "natural" smell. But its not natural its FUNK!!

Answer 8

Just tell who ever it is that they do not smell very good. however do not be rude about it and try to help the person bt keep there problem on the down low. Sometimes it isnt good to spreed the word sometimes you just need to do a kind thing for somebody else. trust me on this one it will do good for all of you!!!

Answer 9

yes and no because sometimes you dont notice it at all. it what i call the poop factory affect. if you work long enough in a poop factory you begin to not notice the smell. its the same principle if you stink all the time your not gonna notice it when you go out. but for you you probably smell very clean have your little perfume on stuff so when stinky mcghee comes around its a different smell you arent used to so then you smell it but he or she doesnt meanwhile they are getting choked by your perfume or deodrant so its even

Answer 10

Some people say that they cannot smell themselves when their body oder gets out of control. Hard to believe isn't it??!! If this individual is around you frequently, then you should be able to talk to him or her about the situation.

Good luck to you with this situation.
