JAKARTA - The smell that appears is a natural thing for everyone, especially after a day of activity. However, what is often a problem is that it is difficult to detect your own body emitting an unpleasant aroma or not.

It's easy to recognize the smell of other people's bodies, but it's hard to smell your own body. Quoted from Live Science, on Friday, September 26, 2025, this was caused by aodor fatique or fatigue in smell.

The nose becomes less sensitive to the constantly kissing scent, so it is often not realized that the smell of the body itself disturbs those around you. Therefore, it is important to know how to recognize your own body odor, as follows.

1. Kiss clothes after being worn throughout the day

Sweat that breaks into clothes, especially underwear, socks, or clothes can be an indicator to find out if you smell bad or not. After a day of activity, take the clothes you wear and smell it.

If the pungent or pungent aroma is not delicious, then it is a sign that your body emits an annoying body odor. This method is quite easy and can be done to ensure your body's aroma.

2. Kiss the armpits, legs, and limps

The area of the legs, armpits, and grops, is part of the body that emits the most strong body odors because of the large number of sweat glands and bacteria. To find out your own body's aroma, try kissing these parts.

The best time to do this test is after a day of activity or when you feel the most sweaty. Usually the body odor begins to appear when the deodorant effect has been lost in a few hours.

3. Ask people you trust

Another simplest and most effective way to know if you smell bad or not is to ask someone else directly. Ask people you trust, such as close friends to family members.

Don't be shy to ask questions, because knowing the condition of the body odor is very important to maintain the comfort of you and those around you.

In addition, remember to keep yourself clean properly. Also use care products such as deodorants, soaps, shampoos, and mouthwash regularly to treat body odors or keep the body's scent fresh.
