So i have a roommate that just moved in this week. She has really bad body odour to the point where if shes in the bathroom with the door closed, her body odour lingers in there for hours after. Its so bad that i need to spray air freshener. How can i tell her about her b.o or how can i deal with it? Im really sensitive to smell so its really bothering me. Im aware it could be a health thing so thats part of why im not sure how to approach this. Any advice is appreciated thank you!

    Tell her privately when you are 1 on 1. It will be awkward but something like this is bound to be.

    'Roomie, your b.o. is bad'. Lol jk.

    I think this is one of those situations where it's better to say, though.
    I second chonga.

    For a roommate, just say something. That's a pretty fair thing to ask of someone. They make all kinds of deodorant, I think it can even be vegan and gluten free.

    If she says no and someone dumped this person on you can you talk to them about it?

    Use subliminal messaging to convince her to take a shower and/or brush her teeth, etc. You may wish to hang pictures of deodorant brands on the calendar.

    right before you go to bed clear your mind and imagine you're in her room. then start chanting "you smell bad, you smell bad" over and over. she'll get the message.
