She always seems to have stinky breath and i dont think she showers much becasuse her hair is greasy.
I love her cause she one of my closest friends and would never dream of huting her feelings so i dont know what to do about it. We were at a sleepover and she didnt wash her face or anything so all our friends think she has really bad hygeine. Im not making a big deal of it , its gone on for ages now and its just little things like at school she doesnt wash her hands sometimes.
Its embarasin for me becasue sometimes she smells and people could think its me. Also some of our friends invite me somewhere and leave her out and i dont know what to say to her about it . AND my best friend doesnt like her becasue of it so im in the middle all the time.
Does anyone know what i can do , its a big problem now and i dont want to just come out and tell her , because it would make her feel bad.Please give me advice...My friend has bad hygeine?
I had the same exact problem, and didn't know what to do either.
I told my mom about it and she took me to the dollar store, we got a cute basket and filled it with all kinds of soaps, shampoos, and girly things like brushes, hair scrunchies, and lotions. This is a nice inexpensive way of dealing with the problem. If you put other items in the basket, like lotions etc, you're not being rude and flat out saying HEY GIRL YOU STINK.
I guarantee she'll love it, just tell her its a gift for being such a great friend :)
My friend loved her little goody basket, and she actually used everything.
I hope this helps, don't listen to what everyone else is saying, I don't think you should tell her she needs to take a shower. She might get offended. Take the nicer route.
Good Luck! :)Please give me advice...My friend has bad hygeine?
give her some new soaps like from bath and body that smell really good. and maybe some hand sanitizer and say its a gift for being an awesome friend. Also next time you have a sleepover say ';lets go brush out teeth';, right b4 bed and stuff like that so she has to clean herself too. Also say stuff like ';should i take a shower FIRST or should u';, that implies she also will be taking a shower :D
hope i helped
Maybe you could give her a gum or mint and tell her it taste good. Then tell her if she wants to have pool party with only you. ( add a bit of good smelling soap in in) and see if it is just because she doesn't clean up or it's just the way she would regularly smell. Talk to her and tell her. That is anther way to solve this. Be truthful and she will understand. Good LUCk
it is a tough subject but in a way u do need to take her aside in priv so u wont embarrase her and say i relly love u but can u try to clean a bit more cos ppl are noticing and i dont want u embarrased because of it.
im sure u can think a better way of saying it. she will thank u for it. i would b glad som1 telling me outstraight. its like coming out of loo with tolilet paper stuck to u, wouldnt u want to b told? lol
gl
offer her a piece of gum or a mint and say its really good she has to try it.
then for the shower say like i wanna do your hair sometime and then maybe she will like it and want to actually do it herself because she looked pretty
a good friend is one that tells the truth however bad-say that to her and see how she reacts- if she agrees then tell her the truth
Go and have a talk with her. By not letting her to know about her flaws, you are indirectly harming her....
So its better that you tell her about this........
A good friend should sit her down and tell her what u observe in her, maybe she would be happy when u tell her ur problem about her body.
Say something like ';im gonna take a shower before we leave... you want in before me or after?'; it kinda puts some pressure on her so that she feels like she really shouldn't refuse but it also makes it seem like your not commenting on her icky hair. You could also tell her that's shes gotta take a shower to check out this totally amazing shampoo that you just got and that it works great and makes your hair so soft. Try the same thing with face wash and soap and maybe hand sanitizer.
I think you should invite her over for some ';pampering'; and then give her some soaps and stuff to wash her face with and give her a facial and teach her how to use it and explain why it's good to use it. She probably doesn't know what to use as far as her skin care goes, or how to use it. She probably just needs help.
And then try to encourage her by giving her tips on other products she should try, like a body wash that makes your skin smooth, and a good shampoo, etc.
Then afterward, follow up with asking her how she liked them, etc.
I think if you call it ';pampering'; instead of ';me teaching you how to not stink'; it will go over well. haha
Good luck!!!
You say you are her friend? Friends help each other. There is no ';easy way'; to tell someone they need to use better hygiene, so just tell her she needs to wash her body and clean her mouth. Most people cannot smell their own bad breath so it is possible she does not know she is offending others. As she matures into adulthood her body will start to produce various odors that can offend other people. She needs to understand that she needs to attend to such things as she matures. A friend will help a friend.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth, especially on the tongue and especially on the back one-third of the tongue. This material must be removed to cure bad breath. Mints and gum will cover up bad breath for a short time but they will not cure bad breath because they do nothing about the bacteria on the tongue. I use OraBrush tongue cleaner because it is the best tongue cleaner. My wife tells me I have kissing sweet breath.
Sit her down and talk to her. Tell her you are not trying to be mean but you don't like what other people are saying about her and tell her. Maybe she wasn't taught how to keep her body clean as you have. show her some of the things you use to smell good and maybe she'll want to clean herself up better. Or you can buy her a gift set of good smelling stuff and give it to her when you tell her. I think she rather hear it from you, her friend, than someone else teasing her about it.
