“Ms. DoRight, I’ve noticed something strange about one of my sorority sisters. It’s a smell, but not body odor. It’s more of a fishy smell. It doesn’t matter if she’s two feet or 12 feet away, I can still smell her. If I can notice this, I’m pretty sure she can smell her own smell.”

Ms. DoRight,

I’ve noticed something strange about one of my sorority sisters. It’s a smell, but not body odor. It’s more of a fishy smell.

It doesn’t matter if she’s two feet or 12 feet away, I can still smell her. If I can notice this, I’m pretty sure she can smell her own smell.

I don’t want to say anything because I keep hoping it will go away. Also, she’s a good friend, so I don’t want to hurt her feelings. What is the best way to tell someone that they might need to use a douchebag?

Thanks,

Friends with Smelly

Friends with Smelly,

There is no polite way to tell someone that they need to douche. It is invasive and rude. Don’t do it.

However, if your friend has that strong of a fishy odor about her, you should be more than a little concerned about her personal life. You should also question her personal hygiene routine. From the sound of it, she doesn’t have one.

When a fishy smell emanates from a woman, it is not automatically indicative of an overly active sexual life.

It could mean that someone likes to swim in Lake Erie a lot, or any of the other Great Lakes, for that matter. Maybe she works at a fish market, or maybe she eats sushi for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It might also be a symptom of a yeast infection, which can be easily remedied. There are even all-natural creams and wipes that can be used to help your friend out.

If your friend can’t afford to buy an over-the-counter remedy, you might want to lend her the money. If you also can’t afford it, lend her the money for a cheap body spray. It will mask the smell for the time being.

I would advise against a douchebag. From a health standpoint, they can be dangerous. It would be safer for your friend to simply have fewer intimate relationships.
