@92BuickLeSabre:

You may think you smell like a humidor or tobacconist, but I think that's highly unlikely unless you always carry around a couple cigars without the benefit of a case/tube. To non-smokers you smell like an ashtray, you just don't realize it because you sense of smell has been destroyed by smoking a lot.

Damn, and to think all these years I have been taking a shower every day to solve this issue. What a complete waste of time. I'll never shower again. Thank you, Japan!

Monty

Or you can just smoke a lot so that you smell like a humidor or tobacconist.
(That's right, I smell like a humidor or tobacconist, not like an ashtray!)

I use a dry-on-contact antiperspirant spray followed by an alcohol-based deodorant spray. The first spray leaves a kind of powdery residue, the second spray melts it and fuses it to my skin.

I stay dry and clean-smelling for the whole day, and on those rare occasions that I can't find a shower (camping, for example), it keeps my BO at acceptable levels for nearly 3 days.

Silver ions -- what CAN'T they do?!!

I ordered one of these. Unfortunately a Japanese large is like something from Gap Kids.

Or you can use Degree and take off your blazer when your not wearing it. And drop the extra 20 while you're at it. The "I'm just a natural sweat-er" excuse isn't cutting it.

OMG! Ponies!

damn japanese and their clothes that i cant have....i dont really smell at least i hope not.

@NCMO:
I can't tell if you're being sincere or sarcastic.

As far as your stinky workmate problem goes, rosemary, thyme, and lavender work wonders. It's up to you whether or not you distill the essential oils, and it's up to you how to deploy the herbal bouquet. You could also bathe her in silver nitrate if she has a dark complexion. Up to you how you dunk her in a tub of it. I think the herbal idea is a good bit more feasible, not to mention legal, but it's all *drum roll* up to you.

@NCMO:

I nominate you for bizarre comment for the phrase "deodorize the stinky girl". It is making my mind go to many bad bad bad places.

OMG! Ponies!

@DisposableInterloper: Thank you for the hygiene tip.

What I need at work is some way to deodorize the stinky girl, I'm not buying her this suit.

NCMO

@NCMO: Hang one of them pine tree air fresheners in her cube... that'll teach her!

unless it's one of those "not so fresh down there" problems... i guess you can... febreeze her crotch or something

We just contacted two of our partners in Japan to get several of them for us.

There were so many times we were working 12 hour days in hot humid climates and badly air conditioned offices and hotels during our travels to foreign lands.

We gladly welcome this technology and would be willing to replace our entire corporate wardrobe if needed.

i thought this dude was cooling off his armpits by leaning on the cooler!!

darthvader66

@NCMO: Stop turning her on! Then that smell might go away on its own.

GeekyNerdGuy

It's not the armpits, dammit. It's the rotgut-sodden, fish-gut-munching, bar-code comb-over coiffed, cockroach-choking fart-astic geezers who either vomit on your lap or drool on your shoulder mumbling karaoke hits in their fevered dreams, crammed into the last northbound train from Tokyo Station on a Friday night. Unless they shove their suits up their flabby little cracks, ain't nothin' gonna change, baby.

TokyoDevil

It must be at least a couple of years since I saw the "nano sock" which also uses silver ions. Well gues it's soon to be "collect the whole set"
