Deordorant/Antiperspirant
I really hope I'm not being offensive here, but in all the threads about body odor I've never seen a simple explanation/solution and that is to use a good deodorant/antiperspirant. It's not a matter of showering, you can shower twice a day and if you don't apply deodorant to your underarms you will begin to smell in short order. The body odor referred to repeatedly on QL is underarm odor. I have smelled unwashed bodies and dirty feet and people who eat highly spiced foods and that is not the odor we are talking about here. Evidently it is not the habit of some people - and I shall not name names or nationalities - to use deodorant. So, shower once a day and use deodorant. After working, wash selectively and use deodorant. The point is, use deodorant and the issue will go away.

Old thread but should be posted as a sticky note heheheheheh
I support this thread!
Say no to body odor!
PaddyBhoy the reactions vary depending on who is posting.
mandilulur is a very respected user here and has always posted intelligent stuff so her post is taken in different sense. Your track record isn't that impressive as you blamed one nationality for bad driving here so your post was taken in another sense, no offence.
lol WK.......................;)
chinx maybe ;-)
no necessarily flan, depends on what you want to attract/ward off.
There we go. I'm not the only one to complain and yet I got a warnign for saying this in the morning. Why can't some people respect the right of others not to be subjected to awful smell in public places?
I rest ma case
you guess it right there gurl...hmmm....... let me think , are you one of the stalkers who identify stink or not in malls?:))
so my fish deodorant is out then?
But chinx you always smell so nice ;-)
since birth i never try to use deodorant..let them suffer if I stink.LOL!
queen dee, this reminds me of lebanese women taking scented tea to smell sweet..:)
nomerci if you feed hypocrites then you will lose the ball game..nevermind them...;P
nomerci yeah id go with perfume over bo lool but still they would smell! haha
if I have to choose between the two then I will go for perfume as well but seriously is it necessary to use so mch perfume that I can smell you from a 100 yards. I just don't want to smell other people, good or bad unless ofcourse it's her :-P
chinx, you might not mind stink, fine, your business. Other people do though. And yes, there is nothing new about this issue. It is , sadly, still the same as it was before.
whyte, feel free. Anybody can say what they want.
Me, I take perfume over BO any day.
rishimba deodorant is fine as long as they dont spray it when they are sweating and dont wash up first!! otherwise mamma mia NOT NICE!!!
Yes, that would happen if they use deodorant.
It is available in every supermarket for about 6 QR.
Can we start a campaign against over-perfumed people as well. They irritate me just as much as the bad smelling people :(
there's nothing new about these needless wordy issues flooding here in QL...
well i think some people simply have got B.O (body odor) + being in a hot country like here makes it worse..thats how they are and i think there are ways to avoid that i mean to lessen the smell or something
OMG, I just read the other thread. what is wrong with you people? Why is it "offensive" to say that some people stink? For god's sake, we all, and yes, you too, know they do. And why is it bad to tell them to use deodorant? Is something wrong with using deodorant? Is it offensive? Is it against some culture, belief or something?
Jeez, get a grip people.
Mandi, you are spot on 100%.
under-arm sweat contains pheromones if its fresh and doesnt contain bacteria...
these pheromones have been analysed and replicated to make expensive colognes and perfumes which are supposed to attract the opposite gender..
breeding bacteria makes it unpleasant.
btw, deodorants are ok as long as its superficial and doesnt block the pores...sweat suppresants are not healthy in the long run as they go against the nature..
Khawaga....I should smell you.....only then can I approve...lol
there are a lots of ARMs of mass destruction..in doha
jack: that's why I only eat sweet foods. I smell delicious!
Not only people eating spicey food smell....everybody smells equally bad if they let bacteria build up....bacteria builds up due to prolonged cycle of sweating....cooling off...sweating again.
If the person is continuously sweating a lot, like in a game of football or tennis, there is no build up of bacteria....also its for a short while like an hour or two.
...so drawing a parallel between hygine and what one eats is really funny...and also dumb.
The only solution for those outdoor guys is to keep a deodorant with themselves and keep use it intermittently.
But then again is it practical? No as these guys earn around QR 600 and they would need at least 15 to 20 bottles of deo every month....
Then they should also get Deo-allowance....lol
I wonder if the world was a big smelly place before they invented deodrants :-/
true enough..
i don't use deo, but don't body body odor..
if it is so hot,get your car tinted with American brand Solar Guard film,you all are in a cool as long as in the car.
If you need to Tint your car with Solar Guard,sendme a PM, I get you very good price
I AGREE Mandi :\
mandi, chill now..That thread is already closed..
