Stinky

A friend of mine has stinky underarms since high school and even up to now in our 2nd year in college. The smell is so bad! I don't know how to tell her without offending her.

It's been more than 3 years that we've been friends and mostly, we do things together. What keeps on bugging me is how her underarms smell. How does it smell? So bad!. I can't even breathe sometimes. I've been forcing myself not to inhale when she's close to me since her smell is so powerful. Almost the whole class knows about it and makes fun of her.

As much as I don't want people to tell bad things about her, I don't want to hurt her feelings too. I planned ways in telling her about it. Here are some ways to tell her:

  1. Tell her frankly that she has stinky underarms.
  2. Recommend a new deodorant.
  3. Tell her to put more perfume to blend the scent.

Out of the three, I still haven't made up my mind about it. I mean, no one has guts to tell her since she's kind of emotional and she might get mad at all of us if we would tell her about it since it's personal.

We're now in our second year in college. The smell is still there but not that strong as before. Good for us but I want to open up to her about it. I just don't know how to tell her without offending her.

Definitely she needs help. And she needs someone who cares for her own sake just like what you are doing. The best thing to do is give her some suggestions regarding her scent,etc.. maybe she will change.

I used to have a friend like that of yours too. I'm glad that my friend improved her body odor. I mean, its not that bad anymore.. I hope yours will be too.
