How do you tell someone you love they have bad hygiene?

Question

I'm in love with someone who has very bad hygiene. I am a very clean person...takes baths daily, brush my teeth and wash my face every day. In the begining I didn't know about this persons problem. He doesn't brush his teeth and doesn't takes baths everyday like I do. How can I tell this person he needs to wash his azz and brush those golden nuggets in his mouth without hurting his feelings?

PLEASE, SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!!!

Answer 1

listen honey you really do need to take a bath and brush your teeth . I feel so much better about kissing you if I know I am kissing a clean mouth . something along those lines would be really great . good luck .

Answer 2

There are a few things you can do.
First you can buy a nice little basket and put some nice soap, colonge, mouthwash and toothbrush, toothpaste in it and give it as a gift.

You can also make bathtime a fun time by suggesting to shower together. So you get to spend some quality time together and he gets to bathe!

Another option is to drop subtle hints about his hygiene. If you catch a whiff of a nasty odor, tell him politely that maybe his deodorant isn't working. Also, if he's stinky, stop cuddling him, sit farther away and pull away when he gets close. If he asks why, tell him that your not sure why, but your smelling something funky and can't figure out what it is. Hopefully, he gets the hint and goes and showers.
Always reward the positive behavior so he knows to associate the two! Its like training a puppy! Treat him when he does the good things so he does it more often!

It is difficult to do, and I had been on the receiving end of this type of conversation during my teens. Buy him a "gift bag" of scented soap, or the scented liquid soaps like Old Spice, etc. Tell him you like the smell of it, and want him to use it for you. Also, throw in some toothpaste and toothbrush, and a little bottle of mouthwash. Throw in some Cologne. He will think you are being thoughtful by giving him these things. Most guys like when a girl buys him gifts, no matter what they are! Also, try to talk to him; be direct but nice. It isn't easy. Good luck.

Ahhh, the perverbial hygiene question. This is delicate, like my man's impending baldness. Well, all I gotta say is, the teeth may go, the hair may go, the belly may inflate, the behind may be scratched one too many times, just take the subtle route and buy a cascade of dental hygiene products that "suddenly" appear on his side of the bathroom sink: Teeth whitening strips, whitening toothpaste, whitening mouthwash, and you mustn't forget the TONGUE SCRAPER. This accounts for most of the halitosis. And buy yourself a matching set so that y'all can scrub scrub scrub together. Ain't love grand?

Good luck to you! Blessings always....

Answer 5

Schedule appts for each of you at the dentist for about the same time when he is shocked say well to prevent cavities you have to go once every 6 mo as an adult, they will tell him for you when they go digging in his mouth and then when he is sputtering about how rude they were afterwards you can kiss him real good and tell him how good his mouth feels that may be a good incentive and ask him to join you in the morning and eve when you brush and shower. guys love to shower with their girls alot of the time, also he just may have never learned how the dentist will show him though

Answer 6

This is a Hard one try making a Joke about it and maybe that will help and if nothing works just try and tell him flat out if worse comes to worse leave a basket on his doorstep with things like shampoo toothbrush toothpast those kind of things and Hopefully he will take a hint

Answer 7

Take a shower with him, scrub him down, and tell him to brush his teeth or he doesn't get any goodies. Bad Hygiene is disgusting.

Answer 8

You just have to tell him. No other way. Just be gentle. I once dated someone liek that and I joked with him that I'd only kiss clean fresh and minted lips. lol

Secondly, I told him that I love the smell of soap and that he should take more showers and leave the bathroom smelling of soap.

Answer 9

well do what i did...act like you want to go somewhere and tell him take a shower and get cleaned up...or i also went to the store and bought his own shampoo and soap...and when i noticed it wasnt being used i would simply say honey i bought you your own soap please dont use mine....and adventually he will come around and start using the soap. but if it gets tooooo bad then simply say lets go swimming and when you get home tell him to take a shower to get the stinky fish smell off.

Answer 10

Sweetie, with some people, you have to just come out with it and tell them, but do it nicely. Buy him a goodie box filled with men's body wash, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, etc. and give it to him. If he asked why, tell him why.......
