I’m a female member.

I have a question about dealing with body odor. My partner’s underarm odor is quite strong, and showering doesn’t lessen it. We’ve decided to try using deodorant spray next time, but I feel it may not be the kind of mild odor that will simply disappear with that... Does anyone know of anything more effective or have any recommended ways to deal with it? I’d really appreciate your advice. By the way, there’s also a different smell from his intimate area—slightly reminiscent of Indian spices. If anyone has any recommended ways to deal with that as well, I’d appreciate hearing them. For context, he’s a very understanding person, and we had agreed beforehand that we’d tell each other if there was anything bothering us. He was already concerned about this because he’d had issues with body odor in the past. During our first night together, he said that he had no problem with my body odor whatsoever and that he liked me. I told him that I was concerned about the odors mentioned above. He was very receptive and said he’d be happy to think of ways to address them. We get along extremely well in terms of personality and physical compatibility, so I feel the body odor is the only issue. I might be able to put up with it for a few hours, but he would like us to have overnight dates every time going forward, which is why we’d like to find a solution. I’d be grateful for any advice. Thank you in advance. Oh, he also has bad breath, and he’s going to start using breath freshener for that. ...He’s a really wonderful person.
