some people go through extreme measures to hide their odor but don’t try to find what’s cuasing it. for example, scrubbing your bumhole until it’s raw or even beelding means your might of scrub off all the good bacteria from your bumhole.This can cause bad bacteria to take over that area and may cuase you to smell more. so instead, you can try to fill the tub up to your thighs and sit in the water for about 10-15 min everytime you have a bowel movement. if you need to use soap use soap that are mild or don’t have to much/strong fragrence. I use a hypo-allergenic shampoo or soap but be car ...
