b/o


Question Posted Tuesday November 16 2004, 8:20 pm

Hi, i have a friend who has bad b/o. I'm not that kind of person who can say "Would u mind putting on some deoderent?" I could never do that to a friend. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to tell her without hurting her feelings. Please my b-day party is coming up and shes coming, i dont want to afend my other friends. Please, I really need some help.

Be like "omg i just got this new deoderant... it's Dove and it smells SOOO good! Have u ever tried it?" If she says no, be like "oo well u should" maybe the next day u could buy her some and give it to her.

You have to tell her. But don't do it with AnyOnE around. If you're not that close to her you still should tell her. No one likes people talking about them! It's better to go straight to them rather then telling others.

It wont hurt her. If i had b/o i would want my friend to tell me. Instead of letting me being EMBARASSED her whole life. Thats just mean. TELL HER! She prolly would most likely want to know. If you had b/o wouldnt u want ur friend to tell you. I would think so. Help her on how to smell clean before the party make her take a shower with smelly good stuff and buy her deoderant if she cant afford it and spray perfume. She should smell good. Hey its that or ruin the party. Most likely she will thank you. <33 Sammy Sam

Have you ever heard of deoderant crystals/rocks. They are really cool. It's a crystal, but when you get it wet it acts as a deoderizer, and you can use it on your whole body like soap. You can usually find them at health stores for less the 5-7 dollars. Look them up online. Just buy her one and give it as a friendly gift. Say you thought it was so cool you thouough she would like it too. It would be the same as giving her some lotion.

you should str8 up tell her... its better that she hears it from her friend in a polite way... than sum jerk that's lookin for a reason to pick on sum1... just tell her that she should try using a new deoderant... like secret platinum... because the one shes using doesn't work too well with her body chemistry...tell her not to get madd at you... ur only tellin her because she's ur friend & you don't want people to make fun of her...

When you're with her say... hey! guess what! i found this deoderant and it may sound silly but it smells FABULOUS! Wanna try some? It's a nice way but also gives a hint that's not direct. You're friend won't be offended and she'll be smelling fresh! Just make sure you pick a scent she'll like!

You could say something like:

crap! I forgot to put on my deoderant/anti-persperant this morning. I don't wanna smell like B.O. Do you have any?

I hope this helps leave one in my inbox,
Caitlin

ShytHappenz answered Tuesday November 16 2004, 8:39 pm:
Just tell her personally that she has a b.o. problem... or say something like... "well I heard people say that you didnt smell too pleasant..." maybe she'll get the hint. But other than that.. unless you want smelly friends.. you'll hafta be honest with her. She'll be glad you did this for her in the end :)
