my friend has been smelling like fish..me and my other friend has been trying to help her and she just wont listen to us..she says some women smell like fish and they cant help it...can someone help us?
Yes, she's lucky to have hones friends like you. But even if you're giving her good advice, you have to be very gentle and wise in the way you're telling her, because otherwise she will just get defensive and won't listen. Maybe she'll be more open if you give her some hints or suggestions that don't seem to be directly pointed to her. You can just say something more general, like: I've been reading a little bit about women's hygiene and how you should shower or bathe daily, wear clean clothes and change your pads/ tampons frequently. There are pads and pantyliners, such as the Winalite Anion sanitary napkins, that can help reduce odor. If you do all these and still can notice a fishy odor, you might have an infection, so you should see a doctor.
she's lucky to have honest friends like ya'll. but ya'll might be embarrassing her. tell her she should get some feminin wipes, and when she gets her period to soak in the tub if she uses pads. if she starts using tampons it will cut down on the smell...playtex sport are the best kind.
