friends help: How do you tell a friend nicely that they have a B.O(body odour) problem? - Help.com

Write a note. Make sure you include that it can easily be fixed.

I’ve done it! I was honest and told her that people were gossiping about her B.O, she denied it, and I kind of told her that after a shower you need to spray under your arms..

It was very uncomfortable.. but a week later she didn’t smell!

juat go up to them and wisper it in their ear I’ve done it to one of my best friends and they did something about it

Just tell her that you are not trying to be rude but she needs to do something about her B.O. Well maybe not in those words but yea

i aagree with anonymous

When you tell her, make sure you give her a feeling of support and care. Warn her that what you are about to say might be hard to hear and you’re telling her because you are her friend.

Maybe, after you tell her, say something like, “Now, my brothers friend had really bad BO, and here’s what she did.” Bring her something to help, like some Vitamin that help (I have no idea if there is one), or something to show that you want to help her out… It’ll make it less embaressing.

When you need to make someone aware of a problem, i find it helps tp pretend its like the easiest thing in the world to get - like its not just her, so she doesnt have to feel so alone and isolated.

In the US there are stores like bed bath and beyond, the body shop—etc. They’re all perfume/soap and lotion stores. Maybe if you took her out to one of these stores and got her interested, maybe buy some for yourself and her…she’d get a hint without hurting her feelings.
