You can’t tell her, but you can talk about yourself. ‘Oh man, it’s so hot out, I had to shower twice yesterday, I was so smelly by bedtime!’ ‘I had to switch to heavy duty deodorant and put it on twice a day, and I was still reeking by dinner!’ If you say stuff like this about yourself smelling, maybe it will clue her in without you having to tell her. I don’t shower every day because I don’t usually get sweaty and my hair and skin are super dry, but I would definitely want to know if I was regularly smelly. I would feel super awkward if one of my friends came right out and said it. Luckily for my, my super honest tween will always tell me!

Bring it up in conversation. Not about her, but about showering every day.

What do you mean she "refuses"? Lots of people don't shower every day


“Lots” of people do not shower everyday…..??!

Eww.
Especially during the summer.

But all adults should shower 🚿 daily.


How very American of you.

Maybe she has a medical condition? Perhaps be a little more understanding of that fact instead of bullying her

If you were her friend you would nicely tell her she should shower everyday.

How do you know she doesn’t bathe?

I usually see her daily at the school bus stop or on the weekend when we (and by extension our families) do things.

I don't think there is any way to tell her in a nice way. This is like telling someone they are fat or ugly, or fat and ugly, or their kid is fat and ugly.
