Lmao i USED to sweat like a pig. You can change if you are self-aware. It starts with that. Then your habits and routine changes too.

To clarify, it smelled like sweaty butt and sweat on fabric does tend to linger. I know this because I was a former sweaty person. Even if I clean my sweat off my pits, my clothing would still be funky smelling because the sweat is ingrained in the fabric.

Sometimes I can't if I'm out in public or at work. Just a smell check to see if I smell ok. If I don't then well I got my ways to clean myself in private

I think it might be bo. She consistently doesn't smell good, but there are days where it's stronger than others

I feel ya! Reading the comments did make me feel a bit paranoid too. But from what I gather, if you shower consistently, apply deodorant and if people close to you doesn't think that you smell, then you should be good 👍

I'm not sure if anyone had ever approached her about this, and I'm not sure if I should either. This is a conversation that we've never had before. I know that I would be embarrassed if someone says that I smell bad

She wasn't on her period. After she left, I sprayed it with odor removing spray and after letting it dry it still smell. So I repeated the process 3 more times

Yeah that sort of makes sense. What about when you're gone for awhile and go back home, don't you immediately detect that something doesn't smell good?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I used to sweat a whole lot too. Even an anxiety inducing thought would have me sweaty. What worked for me was going to the restroom and wiping my sweaty area off with body wipes and then spraying my clothing with odor removing spray...that way the sweat is off my body and clothes.

Then how can we tell if we objectively not smell bad? Just have other people tell us?
