HOLY SHIT GIRL *runs away and vomits*

Ha joking of course :D

Sorry I'm in a mood

Yeah I'm kinda obsessive about smelling good too. I've got this one scent I love and I have the shampoo, the soap, the conditioner, the body splash....and I use it all in the same day...

ME TO I TAKE 4 TO 5 SHOWERS A DAY

I am a bit obsessive, I have to admit about using lots of smelly stuff and the Channel perfume of and on all day.

*waving hand* phew- this post fucking REEKS

actually i get this a lot and I've been told I have smell paranoia but there've been times i've also genuinely smelled.
feel better, miss stinky?

Thanks Hanna for bringing this topic up. I just thought I was weird! I'm always telling my teenage kids to shower. I can't handle natural body odor at all. Poor kids. My poor husband isn't allowed anywhere near me if he's sweaty. He has to shower right before coming to bed. No dirty men allowed in bed!

My two younger kids don't bother me at all. They shower every other day unless they play in the mud.

I can't BELIEVE it! Another person with my fear/ crazy delusion. It's worse for me during that time of the month. The odor or the fear, I'm not sure-maybe both!! I am always paranoid about how I smell. I am told I don't of course. I change my socks a lot, use deodorant, chew gum, use those moist towelettes "down there". I've even taken a warm washcloth at work and given myself a quick sponge bath. I can't use a lot of scented products because I work in the medical field and we aren't allowed to be all perfume-y due to patient allergies etc.

i love ya even if u are stinky

do you have any young kids around? they'll tell you the truth!

i get like a smell stuck in my nose sometimes.

Usually its the feet or breath that smell. I haven't come across someone with bad BO to really comment. I have to say though that sometimes a certain BO is a turn on as if the person is in heat!!

I have bo if I don't shower for a couple of days and I only shower every second day or so. The odor kicks in on the 4th day or so but rarely do I do that. Leave it for 4 days. I can usually smell myself before other people can. Like tonight I was in a bar and I could smell myself just faintly and I was wondering if other people could but I was just imagining. I guy bought me a drink and sat down at the bar next to me and started chatting. I looked and smelled like shit (I thought). My hair needed washing and I could smell myself. Don't know what he was thinking. Just another drunk I guess.

I made a vow to myself never to be that stinky person everyone talks about. I know a few people who never shower and have damaged rep's because of it, and the sad thing is they don't even know. Back when I was working 12 hour days I probably showered every other day because I literally had to be in bed as soon as I came home, and that was cutting it. Now that I'm on a normal schedule I shower mornings and nights.

haha...thanks everyone. I'm not the lone stinker.

Sometimes I'll walk into the room and my kids will say stuff like "what is that smell?" or "is there a dead skunk somewhere?" Probably bad timing...but it doesn't help.

After a couple surgeries, I no longer get a visit from "Aunt Flo"...so I'm not more self-conscious at any particular time of the month. But I sometimes get that "less than fresh feeling"...but I really hope it's just in my head.

tmi? Maybe, but thanks everyone!

i wouldn't have thought of this if you hadn't raised the subject. i hate standing too close to people as i always think i smell bad. i turn my head away while talking as i'm convinced my breath smells. i just thought it was me being silly, so thanks for helping me realise it's possibly the illness.

I am going to say this, but am terribly embarrassed to say it. I know you aren't talking about this.

I have always had an issue with how I "smell" down there. My OBGYN swears there is nothing wrong with me, and everyone has their own scent. But mine is so fricken strong, and I hate it.

I drink tons of water, thinking that's going to dilute the smell.

Men I have slept with never have a problem, and have told me that they enjoy it. But it drives me nuts. Sometimes I think I can smell it even with clothes on. I don't get it.

Does anyone else have that problem? It's not like it smells nasty or skanky or anything, I just don't like the way it smells. To me, it smells wrong.
