OMG!!!...
STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
BOO WITH HALITOSIS AND BODY ODOUR
Good day to you Mrs Korkus. Thanks for this chronicle platform cos i really need to let out my frustrations right now.
I am on my bed right now typing this. I didn't even go to work today cos i am having running stomach! Did i eat sour food? No. Did i eat anything that upset my stomach? No! The real answer is because i went on a date with my supposed boo last night. This guy has a very terrible mouth odour that i just can't help it.
His own is so bad that i hold my breath whenever he is talking because i don't want to collapse. That is how bad his own is. In fact the smell always gives me headache and running stomach.
Apart from the mouth odour Stella he also has body odour too. Like he doesn't wash his clothes, and he uses perfume to cover up the smell. he is always smelling of sweat and perfume mixed together. That alone can give somebody heart attack. He looks neat and presentable outside, like if you see him from afar, he looks very handsome and neat. But if you go close to him, hmmmmm... Different story.
His looks and charisma was what caught my attention. I have always admired him the very first day i saw him. We work in the same company but different department. he just got transferred to our company three months ago and he has always been my man crush.Then, WE don't get to see each other often.
Sometimes, once in a week and i had a huge crush on him then. I never knew he liked me too until he summoned courage and ask me out for lunch one day and i accepted. When we were having lunch, i noticed he has mouth odour but i didn't know it was severe until we started seeing each other more often that was when i found out that he also has body odour. Chai!!!!
The painful thing right now is that i have already accepted to be his girl. In fact i accepted the very first day he asked me out. WE have never had s#x cos i can't even imagine kissing and gbenshing him. he has made attempt to have s#x with me twice but i just can't. I told him the relationship is still young and we shouldn't rush into it.
To kiss him is even a problem for me. The first time he kissed me i almost died. He doesn't even know how to kiss. He covered my whole mouth with his and i was gasping for fresh air. The only thing i could perceive was d offensive smell coming out from his mouth and armpit. I had to push him hard before he could stop and i lied i had headache just so i could go home.
The relationship is just a month old and i feel very bad. He is actually a very nice person, quiet and hardworking. But the only problem is d mouth and body odour which is a total turnoff for me. I have been avoiding him for days now and he noticed it already. But yesterday, out of pity and boredom, i decided to honour his invite again. But d smell right now is giving me running stomach. His own is really very bad. He made an attempt to kiss me again last night but when he opened his mouth, i just turned my head to the opposite direction and told him to close his mouth. He always opens his mouth wide whenever he wants to kiss and i don't like it.
Though I have told him that already. But the problem now is i don't know how to tell him that he has mouth odour. Pls how do i tell him without hurting his feelings? Has anybody been in my shoes before? this is really driving me crazy. Just when you think you've seen the right one, Boom..... He has halitosis.
Even if i want to break up with him, i think i should also tell him the truth cos his own case is very terrible. I don't think i can continue with the relationship anymore because the feelings i have for him is dying slowly. I really want to Help him but don't know how. The smell is so offensive that i can't even stay up to a minute with him. what should i do? i need matured advise please......
*FUNKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE........
I almost threw up reading and imagining this....There is no easy way to telling him this so just do it....
Buy him a pack of roll on and special toothpaste for his mouth,he prolly doesnt brush his tongue to the back,so you have to include tooth brush and then take him out to Dinner and talk to him with love and nicely...first start by telling him how much he means to you...No matter what his reaction will be towards you,he will begin to work and improve on himself.....
Please remember to tell him to brush his tongue......Dont forget mouth rinser with strawberry flavour.....if this turns out right eh,you wont stop reaching for his mouth...
Good luck!
This is bad and sad at the same time, I can only imagine it. It is better you put an end to it now that nothing has happened or if you do want him find a way to help him cure this.
ReplyDeleteSimply tell him, he needs help. Even though u will hurt his feelings but u will be doing him a huge favor by telling him
DeleteYou just have to tell him in a nice way. He will respect you for that and will never forget you.
DeleteTell him to use euthymol toothpaste and Listerine mouth wash. Then use warm salt water to wash everything out. He also needs a hard brush. He must scrub his tongue daily while brushing. He must also brush twice a day,morning and before bed.
DeleteFor the body odour,he needs to shave his pubic hair. Bath with a hard sponge using dettol antiseptic soap with warm water. He needs to bathe twice a day with warm water and use sure deorant always.
He also needs to change his underwear daily. There are some men that wear same boxers and inner shirt for one week straight.
Let him get a washer man to wash his clothes weekly.
If after doing all these things and he still smells. He needs to see a doctor or seek spiritual help. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Send him a link to this post. It's the only way he will know then learn from the various advice given
Deletelets all not jump to conclusions. some people have poor hygiene because they were not taught any better.
Deletei met an girl indian girl who smelt so bad down there. so bad that if she opens her leg you could smell it. if you are sitting down and she passes you you would smell it. Then we use to have those rolling office chairs, when she would turn her chair i would smell it. She was such a nice girl and from what i could tell she was neat. so some of the girls in the office approached us. it turned out she never used her hand to wash her vagina. she used to bend down and use water and pour on it with like those mallam kettle just like that. She said that was how her aunties and parents taught her. This was UK oh UK!! i weak that day.
My friends and I had to teach her to open her legs and wash, showed her different options to use SHE WAS SHOCKED. gradually the smell stopped. I wonder how many men would have dumped her for that.
@poster you might be surprised he does not brush his tongue, only teeth.if you trust him i suggest you spend a night there or you can visit him early one morning before he has brushed and observe how he brushes.
1. im 100 percent sure he does not use deodorant. he needs a super strong anti antiperspirant for armpit (not perfume or body spray)
2. He needs to brush morning and night. There is also a tongue scrapper you can easily buy that helps you remove dirt from your tongue. -he also needs mouthwash that has alcohol. Listerine is a very effective brand
good luck
Sending him link might freak him out nau. Like Babe na me and my matter you carry go blog so.
DeletePoster I hope his own is redeemable sha. Some have it in their DNA.
Kuku follow Stella's advice. Wish you luck.
Hmm! Halitosis caused by GERD has no cure/remedy and it is the worst of them all because the breath would smell like poo. Story of my life. It is well.
DeleteHe should scrub his body with alum,while bathing morning and night,then follow up with a mild soap,strong deodorant and perfume.alum can also cure mouth odour.google the benefits of alum.
DeleteHalitosis from GERD can be cured by antibiotics. The sufferer should use flagyl and it would disappear like magic
DeleteAdd floss too, he needs it. Regular flossing can prevent unhealthy buildup of food particles in between the teeth.
DeleteBook an appointment for the both of you to see the dentist, I was once in your shoe but we overcame, after that try go shopping for toiletries with him.
ReplyDeleteBestest advice! Poster, take this life line. Dont forget to buy mouth wash while shopping.
DeleteGood luck.
My dear, sometimes it’s from the inside, just like the poster I had someone that was asking me out back in school, and yes I had a serious crush before he asked me out so it was meant to be made in heaven, but trust the ordor to chase me away, I went shopping for toiletries with him but it didn’t stop the smell, we got mouth wash, oralB paste, a whole lot but it dint change. When I couldn’t manage it anymore I sent him a text and explained myself, he took it the wrong way and ended up hating me. But I don’t regret letting him know, maybe not for me but for someone else.
DeleteMy advice is that you send him a text message he may be open to it, maybe he has had other girls leave him for this same reason, let him know you will be willing to be with him through it all but he has to be open to working on himself. When he agrees you can start by changing his toiletries as well as his diet cus I heard that also affects the way some people smell, also I heard pineapple helps a lot, you can google it, especially for mouth odor, a doctor friend told me this, just help him out... that’s if he is willing
Just like brandedme you too can work it out with your boo. There's no problem here. No use looking for ready-made boo cuz they don't exist. Teach him with love. Generally, relationships should be bordered around building up each other. You guys have the money to afford these three steps u need:
Delete1. See a dentist to settle the mouth odour issue.
2. Get a good and effective antiperspirant while he baths 2 times daily.
3. And buy a washing machine just in case he hates d idea of washing clothes.
This way he would save money on buying perfumes and save a wonderful relationship with you.
He has probably never had his teeth professionally cleaned and flossed. After the dentist, his dental hygiene has to change. Brush after every meal. Make sure he shaves hair off his private parts. Men don't generally shave their armpits but because he is suspectible to body odor, he needs to shave every hair on his body and use deodorant
DeleteIf hygienic changes doesn't fix it, it may also be hormonal imbalance. He will need to talk to a doctor probably get on good probiotics
DeleteHe should use lemon to scrub his armpit and below before drying himself to reduce the body odour. For the mouth odour, there are some special mouthwash for that like CB12 for halitosis and you can Google others as well. When brushing, he needs to brush 2 times and concentrate on his tongue the third time before using the mouthwash.
DeleteHe might also need to see a dentist in case there is can underlying problem. Let him know how much you feel for him and tell him your problem and how you are willing to support him working on it.
Buy him dettol,,body spray and roll on. He must take his bath twice a day.Advice him to shave his armpit and pubic hair. Boxers and singlets must be clean and worn just once.
DeleteConcerning the teeth, visit the dentist with him Let him use toothpaste like euthymol with mouth wash. He can occasionally chew gum to freshen his breath. Just chew for say 5mins and throw away, lick sweets, the ones with menthol.
My dear, you just have to tell him , this issue is serious and cant be sugar coated.It is what it is. If he starts forming anger or is uncooperative , ditch him.
omds.................i cant stop laughing pahahahahahah this is too funny. babe said she almost died
ReplyDeleteI Detest mouth odour and body odour. Nevertheless all mouth odour is not due to dirt. One of my girl friends has SEVERE mouth odour. She has done everything humanly possible but the odour is still there. The Doctor said it is from her stomach, that it can not be cured. If you love him so much to overcome this odour you can go ahead. Just press ignore button and STOP KISSING HIM.
ReplyDeleteUr friend mouth odour must be a sign that something is wrong with her
DeleteShe needs a medical check up
Stomach bawo? Canal dey her belle ni?
Deletehooe shes not the babe i dated for 3months, her wasnt so bad sha, you only perceive it when u come close for a kiss, and she uses listerine often oh, after like 10mins it'd return... & her pussy gave off another offensive odour during penetration, fine girl oh, i just tire, that odour alone put serious crack in the relationship, then one other small fault wey no reach anything broke us up. i still see her slaying for the grams, i just yimu and move on.
DeleteMy dear, just quietly leave the relationship, if you tell him the real reason you'd only hurt him more & make him feel very insecure n rejected... you cant fight that odour, na follow come!
ReplyDeleteNot true, at least she will help him. That he has odour doesnt mean he cant be useful
DeleteThis just made me remember one fine bobo l used to like then. I really wanted something with him too but the day we were very very close I knew it was a lost battle. I couldn't breathe mehn! The odour from his mouth could kill all the bacteria flying around. If this poster didn't say body odour I would have said its the same person. Very very similar pointers to this same person.
Deletekill which bacteria flying around? It will multiply them.
DeleteMaybe its his elder brother.
Thisnis easy. Get a dentist appointment for 2. Tell him you were visiting a dentist and decided you both do it together so you got him an appointment
ReplyDeleteOr tell him you need to go to the dentist and he should take you there. When you both are there, tell him to also join you. Let it be a couple thing
DENTIST??//
Deleteif he's having a medical condition... take him to an E.N.R specialist.... you can go for general consultations at a general hopital, if it is really serious, theyll refer you to an E.N.R specialist
Buy him listerine and pepsodent with a soft brush...
ReplyDeleteVisit him and talk to him cmly about it. Then give him the gifts...
If he diesnt chabge his hygiene. RUN
Hope he's not broke
Madam ideato,yes a dentist,book an appointment with a dentist.your friend has halitosis,there are different causes of halitosis,which can be local/systemic..if aren't a need for referral,the dentist would refer appropriately.
DeleteAdults use medium bristle toothbrush.
I was eating when I opened this post. I had to pause the food to finish reading your story. Follow Stella's advice and watch if there will be positive changes. If you can't cope, free the man.
ReplyDeleteMadam please it’s not that bad.
ReplyDeleteThe annoying thing is you noticed from the jump but looks were more important to you and now you’re running away not because he is a bad person but for things that can easily be corrected.
Let me tell you, there are a lot of people who don’t bother about their hygiene and it’s not because they can’t afford to smell good it’s either because they don’t know that they stink or are just unbothered.
This is someone you’re dating, if you Mean him well you’d tell him the truth and how to deal with this thing. If it’s halitosis and he brushes morning and night then he should go and see a dentist. I had a male friend too with very bad breath, I nagged him so much about it that he called a dentist for home service who came to extract his tooth that was rotten and causing the stench. In fact, it was a grand ceremony because he called me to witness the extraction of the tooth and halitosis from his life. For body odour, get him to take his bath morning and night and get him a good anti-perspirant. He probably sweats a lot and doesn’t take his bath more than one. Also, get him to shave everything shave able and you’d see if things wouldn’t improve unless it’s a spiritual problem. To be honest, I don’t see a problem here sha because these things can be corrected. I’m sure you close your mouth when he wants to kiss you due to the smell reason he feels the need to envelope your mouth during the process. Tell him the truth, I don’t know about you but I don’t ever sugar coat these things if I care about someone.
"Its not that bad?" Someone couldnt go to work 2day, cus it gave her stomach upset & u say its not that bad, do u know the guy personally??
DeleteE go better for u jare, better shaid
DeleteDon't mind her. See the way she analyse the poor guy as if he committed a grevious crime mtcheew!
DeleteWhy do you enjoy dating a guy in your office? what happens if the relationship goes sour, I don't know why some ladies derive pleasure in entangling themselves with office romance, if you guys were in a different state/branch no biggy but not same office/ same complex.
Back to your topic, you like the guy right? then be prepared to change him else leave him for someone else who can handle him... Invest your money on him on good roll on, mouth wash, toothpaste and a good shawerbath give them to him as a gift then encourage him to continue buying them himself.
What is this one saying??? Dopel did you read were she said the relationship is a month old???
DeleteSo why sounding like she's been with the guy for a while and just changed her mind. See the long epistle sef
Doppel you couldn't have said it any better. If you said you love someone help the person get better not try to abandon him,if you have helped and it didn't work den you would know the next step
DeleteHaaa its that bad ooooo! Infact with mouth odour, forget second date. No moving forward I'm afraid. You will perpetually be unhappy in that relationship if that odour doesn't go away and that may lead to you cheating on your man. Just leave that relationship now that it's still young. You can try and see if you can do anything about the odour before you leave. But personally, I don't have that patience to stick around someone with bad odour. Even odourless men put me off. You must wear nice perfume and smell really nice to score points with me. There are things you can help a man with, things like helping him change his wardrobes if his clothes are not up to par, but incurable odour? No sir! Not me and you. bye bye, it was nice meeting you, try the girl next door, I have headache.
DeleteBank.
Of all the things to teach a grown man, it's how to brush, and the necessity of washing his clothes. He and his parents should be ashamed!!!
ReplyDeletePlease tell him. If you can't cope with the possibility of him changing for one minute, just to get you, and returning to his default setting later, please leave.
I don talk my own.
Hmmm...story of my life. This was what my ex did. I took him to a dentist, urgered him to bathe 2ic. Immediately after the introduction he went back to default.
DeleteHmm! Leave matter @parents should be ashamed. Some parents don't even know.
DeleteI had a colleague MARRIED MAN with mouth odour. I had to tell him oh that something isnt right. I kept wondering if his wife doesn't smell it. I asked him if he brushes his tongue, he asked me if people brush their tongue. Haaaaaa 😲😲😲😲 The next day he told me thank you that he has asked his wife and kids to start doing same. That it was slimy in there, and he noticed his tongue was pinker afterwards. That he didn't know all that 'white stuff' was dirt.
So ignorant him and his ignorant wife were preparing their children for a stinky future, if I didn't launch that abort mission.
ahh you saved so many lives.
Deletesome people are just pigs.
Just wow!@ anon16:09
DeleteHe knows he has a problem, he is an adult for Pete sake, abi na small pikin? Tell him to get help unless u are mother Theresa then get him secrets deodorant gel n powder form, then drag him to d dentist, let them wash his mouth, since he can't helpbjimself, help him.
ReplyDeleteSome dont know, gbe nu dani
DeleteStella you forgot to add floss
ReplyDeleteBrushing alone and mouth wash is never enough
All this epistle on top mouth and body odour.
ReplyDeleteTake ladybugs advice to you on sp.
I say invite him over as a surprise and g to the dentist to get his teeth cleaned. Tell the dentist before hand why you are inviting him. Let the dentist give him feedback and then you can top it up lovingly at home. Me shaa want you to suceed in your relationship. I am not a very diplomatic person. I for don tell am tay tay.
ReplyDeletehalitosis sometimes comesfrom within and not just tooth....
DeleteI say invite him over as a surprise and go to the dentist to get his teeth cleaned. Tell the dentist before hand why you are inviting him. Let the dentist give him feedback and then you can top it up lovingly at home. Me shaa want you to succeed in your relationship. I am not a very diplomatic person. I for don tell am tay tay.
ReplyDeleteYou think he isnt aware of the offensive ooze? why'd you think hes masking it with perfumes? which is obviously not doing the work!
ReplyDeleteI dont think you'd be the 1st girl to try finding remedy & failed... why'd you think a good looking man with a job is single with no rival, them dash you free... i can bet his colleagues are looking at like a car crash about to occur in slow motion.
If you must leave him based on the stench, find a diffrent reason biko, dont put his ego in a blender.
Oh Lawd! 🤣🤣😂😂 #mychest
DeleteGbam!!!. He knows
DeleteI had a male colleague with a very very terrible mouth odour. His own was really terrible. You couldn't stay in the same room without perceiving it. He is married with kids now and the last time I saw him, the odour wasn't there anymore. This was after I had known him for more than 7 years. It's possible his wife went above and beyond to find a solution for him.
ReplyDeleteDon't let his flaws discourage you. You can find a solution for him. This might be your Mr right. See a dentist alone and invite him him to go with you the next time if the dentist wants to see him. Communicate with him about personal hygiene. Most people who have these odours are unaware of it.
You can teach him how to kiss. When I met my husband, I didn't know how to kiss too but he taught me. Do your best before deciding if you want to walk out.
Goodluck
If you ask me, kissing isnt something you can be taught, we all have our patterns of licking mango the way we enjoy it.. if you teach me ur pattern, i can imitate it for some minutes but i wouldnt enjoy it.
Deleteu can kindly tell him as stella stated even if u don't want to date him again.
ReplyDeleteI once dated a guy who's breath was abissmal omg it was sooooo bad i nearly died. Fine boy oooooo but his breath omggggg and i couldnt tell him i just ghosted for my health sake.
ReplyDeleteGodforbid....am very sure u are dirty too
ReplyDeleteYou are sure. Meanwhile, you don't even know who sent in the post
DeleteMy husband had the same problem, he didn’t even notice himself , so I told him about it and worked with him to stop the smell , he brushes twice a day , now uses mouth wash and I taught him to brush his tongue , he didn’t even know u are suppose to brush ur tongue cos some dentists will tell u not to brush ur tongue so u don’t damage it or something similer. But now he is cautious about it and he takes care of it.
ReplyDeleteI did not even know I was supposed to brush my tongue till my ex told me.
DeleteAh! Exactly like the colleague I had.
DeleteAh! Exactly like the colleague I had.
DeleteREally? Most of the odour emanates from the tongue. Please don't use mouthwash- it can turn your teeth black and damage your enamel - just toothpaste will do!
DeleteLies!!! Which dentist will tell you not to brush your tongue?biko you saw a quack abeg.see a qualified dentist not a dental therapist/hygienist
DeleteAnon 18:13 I have also heard of some dentists that would advise not to brush your tongue also , so what is the lie there ?? Just say you have not heard of it instead of insinuating that the person lied!
DeleteI dont know about the mouth odour
ReplyDeleteI had this classmate while i was a student of lag
He smelled so bad
Everyone avoided sitting close to him
I sat next to him one day and i realised people really exaggerated how bad it was
We got talking
Hes a nice guy, was working minimum wage and trying to keep up with school
Everyday he walked from fadeyi to unilag because dts how far his tfare could take him
He prespired heavily because of that, his only crime was wanting an education that bad
All i am saying is we should be careful of how we mock people's inadequacies because u have not walked a mile in thier shoes
I hear hes a big boy now at oando and talks of his body odour is yesterdays story
Leave people better than u met them is all am saying
God bless you Lamyde, you are the real McCoy 👏👏👏
Deletewhos mocking who here? we're putting heads together to find a remedy to this problem, her next date could land her in the hospital... hes doing his killing unintentionally. Meanwhile, still on the topic of cleanliness is next to Godliness, you can still maintain good hygeine while broke & chase your dreams, b4 offensive odour shuts the doors of opportunity that was initially opened for u.. No ezcuses!!
DeleteOxygen the poster is mocking him abeg. What kind of mouth odour would give you stomach upset enough to miss work if its not exaggerations
DeleteIf you are in a relationship and cant help your partner be better whats the point of a relationship?
For all we know her pussy may be stinking shei its because they have not had sex, we await the guys chronicles
Olodo
Buy him iron sponge to wash his body very well. Let him use the iron sponge to wash his underarm very well
ReplyDeleteMost people with body and mouth odor don't wash very well.
Let him brush day and night.
The worst part is that those with mouth odor don't even know.
Na dem dey open mouth pass when speaking. And they always want to speak in your face.
LMAO @ Iron sponge.... very funny, does she also need hydrogen peroxide in his bathing water?
DeleteI dont know about the mouth odour

Chai...Poster you are very funny o. You just made my day. THanks for making me laugh tho. Sella, its not that easy to confront someone with halitosis o. Esp someone you just met. I find it embarrassing. If i were in her shoes,i will just walk away cos i cant deal mehn. I am a very shy person so it will be hard for me to confront him cos i know he will feel bad
ReplyDeleteIf you were the one won't you rather want to be told about your problem than for someone to just walk out leaving you wondering why
DeleteLike Stella said, tell him frankly what you have noticed. But I will suggest not buying him tooth paste or whatever else yet. Have a heart to heart talk with him. Tell him you will walk the path of finding a lasting treatment for it and only say this if you know you can do it. If you are sure he is a nice again and you want to keep him. Google halitosis with him. It might be internal problems that brushing alone cannot do. Then if his guts are healthy, invest in good paste and mouth wash. Encourage him to chew him to increase salvation and to brush his teeth after each me and scrap his tongue of all those white patches. Most halitosis are from unhealthy digestive tract. Let him go to hospital first to rule out internal problems. He may feel bad initially but if you show him enough love, he will do all to overcome it and he will forever remain grateful and you will be satisfied you helped someone even if the relationship didn't end in marriage.
ReplyDeleteAbout his body odour, tell him to quit masking it with perfume. Freshly squeezed lemon in his bathing water, applying a dab of it on his armpits will fight the bacteria that is breeding the nasty odour. He should wash his clothing after each wear even if there is no visible stain. That lemon works great. Google these information with him. Tell him the odour does not make him less of a man but not doing anything about it. If he is humble enough, he will appreciate your care and he will work towards finding a solution. Who knows he might not be aware of the odour. It will get better
Eleyi gidi gan
ReplyDeleteAwwww If you really like him, just do what Stella has said. Talk to him. If he listens and take action or otherwise, na for him pocket. You have done your own sha.
ReplyDeletePoster there is no way you can sugarcoat it. just tell him he has body and mouth odour but you will love to help him.
ReplyDelete1:
tell him to brush his teeth 2 times a day. he should clean his tongue as well and use mouth wash.
2:
He should shave his pubic hairs every Sunday, bath twice a day, use roll on or any good anti-perspirant.
3:
He should not wear clothes, singlet and boxers more than once before washing.
If the symptoms persist after 2 weeks he should go and see a doctor.
I don’t even know how people re-use their clothes without washing, not even if I just wore the clothes to drop the kids off in the morning, I must drop it in the laundry basket
DeleteMe too oo,i don't use clothes twice.
Deletemy dear, its easier said than done. everybody will advise tell him, buy him toothpaste and toothbrush, mouth wash, deodorant bla bla bla....
ReplyDeleteit is simple to say but difficult to do. how many of us have been able to tell our friends that have this problems .. its very difficult, i presently have 2 friends with bad mouth odor and cant tell because i feel bad. my advise as usual is tell the person but ... we know say e no easy. God will help us
Please answer this question for me.
DeleteIf you notice a lady has period stains on her dress, please would you tell her? Yes or No.
While In secondary school, I had this classmate who had body odour. Her ’friends’ couldn’t tell her but kept making fun of her behind her back until one day she had a fall out with one of them and that one blurted out in anger how they were just pretending to like her and how she stinks. This girl cried through out that day and was really sad for a while. What am saying is, If you can’t tell your friends the truth to their face then you shouldn’t really be friends. You should encourage your friends to be better in areas you feel they are lacking.
period stain is diffrent jo.
Delete@doppelganger thank you
DeleteIt sounds like he has fecal body odour and it can be minimised or eliminated by detoxifying with activated charcoal amongst other things. Google it and show him..so he can arrange himself.
ReplyDeleteor maybe he just does not use deodorant. be there. you dont know some people are clueless
DeleteMy thoughts exactly!
DeleteHe should start by detoxifying first before considering other remedies
Hmmm! You have a point. Internal treatment
DeleteAre you sure this is not a spiritual problem?How can one person alone have both mouth & body odour? Is he the cause of Nigeria's problems, that he should carry this burden alone? This is really unfair...
ReplyDeletemaybe she'd even discover more when the relationship is up to 5months.... its possible his ear wax is another smell
DeleteI dont know why some of you are sacred of talking to the person youre in a relationship with?i remember i onced dated a guy,anytime he tried to kiss me i always turn my face away,one day he asked me i subtly told him his mouth smells.He was shocked he said nobody has ever told him that.He improved on his hygiene i could kiss him freely thereafter.
ReplyDeleteDear poster, ask him to use utimol toothpaste it's very good for mouth odour not sure of the utimol spelling
ReplyDeleteEuthymol toothpaste, it doesnt spare bacteria, even the natural enzymes of the tongue and gum isnt spared if you leave it for too long, Colgate is fine for me jo.
DeleteOxygen Who told you they are not spared? Did you carry out any baby biochemical test after brushing with Eutymol? Yeye dey smell. Eutymol is the best toothpaste out there.
DeleteBaby girl, please help him, even if you will end the relationship. He just might be ignorant about personal hygiene. He may not even have or might have lost the sense of smell. For some their background will tell you where things went wrong. You do not know what he has passed thru in this life or his early life. For some men, you just have to be the 'mother', starting all over to groom and teach them how to groom themselves into a perfect gentleman.
ReplyDeleteYou can work with him to clean him up. Hopefully he complies. Please be patient, do not be judgemental, do not be rude. Try your best to be polite with care & concern in your voice.
There is no easy way, you have to say it, after all the r/nship is still so young. Remember it might be very embarassing, so give him time to accept your concerns, to deal with the shock and make up his mind to work on the change. On the whole be supportive and encouraging.
Just say ..erhm..sweetheart I want us to work on something as a team.
What is it? I'm concerned about your personal hygiene. I have some suggestions.....then...bla bla.
Go over his routine, from AM to bedtime. As you get comfy in conversation, you can even get into the details of how he wipes his 'bum', does he take the time to wash it during bathing? The reason is, the 'bum' secretes an oily lubricant which when mixed with heat & sweat after a while will smell like hell, contributing to the overall body odor. How he scrubs, what soap he uses. Body odor sometimes is cumulative, from the mouth, armpits, anal/ groin areas, feet, in between toes. For women + the VJJ.
Then buy and advise on the importance of a deodorant, NOT the SPRAY, but a roll-on or speedstick(Yankee parlance). Preferably then one that says deodorant + antiperspirant FOR MEN. I will advice an American brand like OLD SPICE, if you can afford it. God will replenish your pockets.
Emphasize the importance & necessity of a roll-on or speedstick.
A perfume or cologne is a LUXURY, a deodorant under your armpit is a NECESSITY!!!! (unfortunately Africans believe the contrary).
Hope he no go come vex, good luck. Help a brother out even for the sake of brotherhood & friendship.
Stay blessed.
My dear, you are not alone.Im dating someone with once in a while bad breath and i cant stand it talk more if it was as bad as you described.
ReplyDeleteI avoid my guy kissing me these days cos of bad breath.Its really annoying when he eats fish or soup and the next thing he plants a kiss on me.(In his mind he tries to be romantic by planting a kiss when im not looking ) and i always do push him away.The other day, i couldnt help it and i told him im no longer attracted to him physically.He felt bad and asked why so i told him that he needs to put effort on his physical appearance especially his breath.
For starters he should always rinse his mouth after eating before coming close to me.I avoided him for over two weeks and the last time we saw he said he has taken all i said into consideration.Everyone i told said its not enough to break up instead i should help him through it..
Abeg i just ate indomie without pepper make i no throw up.

A lot of people don't know what parts of their bodies to concentrate on when washing. There should be a lesson on this. For the halitosis, a visit to the dentist should help
ReplyDeleteLmao@ Chi Exotic aka Chi Chi puff puff aka Chi Chi obodo oyibo.
ReplyDeletewhich one is Iron sponge?
ona asa azu ite ona? .... hahahaha
Dede ikeguru.
DeleteLol
Nne, I am coming with some tips but let me drop this here:
ReplyDelete"He always opens his mouth wide whenever he wants to kiss and i don't like it."
I just imagined a whale approaching with mouth opened wide, omo see me laughing wildly in my empty room. I yam coming you hear, let me think of something. ..
I sensed he needs to pray seriously apart from visiting a dentist. If you truly love him , this is when you assure him of that. Friendship should'nt be only when the going is good. At least make an effort to work on him and see how far it will work out.
ReplyDeletelet him ALWAYS add lime to his bathing water , then brush twice a day (morning and last thing at night)as others have recommended, washing his tongue, then can do the lemon drink every morning ie warm water and lemon (can add honey). make sure he is clean shaven in the armpit and below. bath salts are also good co add to your water, it clears the pores. with all these am sure sooner than you can imagine it will be a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteTrue. That lime and lemon in bath water is what my granny uses till now.
Delete16:17 that lesson should be given to people in their childhood. I find it incredibly strange that supposedly 'educated' people don't know how to bathe or brush their teeth. So many 'educated people' don't even know what dental floss is much less use it. Gosh!!
ReplyDeletePoster, kindly check if he has any tooth rotting in his mouth, it might be the cause of his halitosis. Also I think he needs to perhaps have a colon cleanse, or his body may be far more acid than alkaline or gut problems.
Definitely fight this internally.
If your attraction was based solely on looks then I understand that you may have lost interest, however nothing stops you from leaving him better than you met him.
*I wonder how his colleagues cope.
I think is Euthymol...very nice
ReplyDeleteSome mouth odour comes from within. Pls buy him some antibiotics and get him sensodine herbal toothpaste, change his toothbrush. You will thank me later
ReplyDeleteBut truly hygiene is a MAJOR issue these days. You'll just see one pretty lady, handsome man but beyond the make up and perfume...will make you throw up for days.
ReplyDeleteSome people don't even know they have bad breath. How do you know? It's not even by breathing into your palm and smelling it. Lick the back of your palm and smell it. How it smells is how your breath smell.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
Most people that have mouth odour, have holes in their teeth. These holes are hideouts of different organisms and they cause the teeth to decay.These holes smell a lot because the roots of the teeth are already decayed and no matter how you brush your teeth or your tongue, your mouth will still smell because of the infested teeth.Just see it as cleaning your whole house very well and you have a dead rat in The house, the house will still smell,so the best thing to do is to remove that particular tooth or teeth and the deal is done if you are sure you brush your teeth and tongue very well.
ReplyDeleteI dont have bad breathe but having just read of this Euthymol paste, am curious to try it and share it. Turns out it is fluoride free. I will bless people with bad breathe with it, something in the lines of "have you tried this new toothpaste....". Posted could buy and do the same for her man.
ReplyDeleteThat toothpaste to me is just too harsh. I've used it a few times and felt like crying. I can't taste anything for a while after using it. I guess it would be great for those with halitosis.
DeleteMy dear don't live him..Just let him know about it but in a very calm and cool way.But before you start talking,let him know how much you love him.Then to the solution,let him mix NCP with warm water to rinse his mouth after brushing his teeth twice every day and tongue thoroughly.Get a good tasteless paste.If he can keep up with the NCP mixture,in less than a month,the mouth odour will be a thing of the past.
ReplyDeletePoster don't forget water! Drinking lots of it. I just read that hydration is very essential to cure halitosis. Google it and read up all you can so you can help him. Part of dating is adding value to the other person's life in order to make them a better version of themselves. You have that opportunity here. Don't throw it away and also throw away a potential good relationship.
ReplyDeleteThis is besides the point but I also hope that as much as you are concerned about the physical aspects of your relationship, you are covering the spiritual side also. Don't neglect to commit this relationship into God's hands and also date in accordance with his ways, if you know what I mean. To me, that is the the foundation and not good breath.
Goodluck
Take Him to a good dentist to check if thère is any tooth decay/hole,i think he should also be doing scaling & polishing (professional teeth clearing) atleast twice a yr. Then on body odour get strong deodorants for him NOT perfumes. Or u use lemon on the armpit or potash for d armpit. Potash is very effective atleast i hv given to somebody with very very deep body odour that once he enters an Office People will be fanning themselves. Bt now we dont perceive any smell
ReplyDeleteSo nobody with body odour read this post? Only people who knew 'friends', 'neighbours', 'colleagues', 'classmates', 'strangers' ??? Yimu.com ikwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwaka
ReplyDeleteI dey come, make I go brush.
