Nasty odor that doesn’t go away after a fun and water-efficient (two clean bodies for the price of one! California needs your help) shower probably means she needs to see a gynecologist. It’s awkward, but it’s for her health, so suck it up.

I really can’t see that being good for anybody’s health.

Are you kidding? You’re missing out.

When my brother was getting married, we took some househunting trips: the future SiL, her best friend, my Mom and me. One flat had been a 3/1 but they’d converted it into a 2/1 with a huge living room (the original was tiny) and an ohmygod bathroom with mosaic tiles and a Jacuzzi. SiL couldn’t see the point of the jacuzzi; the three of us just looked at each other and shook our heads.
Pregnancy informed SiL that sometimes there IS a point to bathtubs. Bro hopes to get her into a jacuzzi by her third pregnancy or so, maybe…

Thirding or something that if she smells bad at that distance she may need to see her doctor.
I’ve never smelled a bad one yet, I guess I’m lucky.
You could say “Honey, do you ever have that not-so-fresh feeling?” Cue the pastoral scenes and heartwarming music.
Is there a nice way to go about this? No. But hell, I think she has a right to know.
I am a neurotically clean person errrr, inside and out. My ex husband told me a story about a gal he was seeing after me. He had never experienced that kind of odor but being the blunt man he is, he drew her a bath and handed her the douche he had bought earlier that day. She was embarrassed but the problem never occurred again. If this is going to be a relationship, this is something that needs to be remedied now. She must not be aware (or is just a skank, in which case, what do you expect?)

My friend and I thought about the shower thing but we figured that would be rather transparent seeing how neither of us are the “Let’s shower together” type.

Even if she realises why he’s suggesting it, it lets her know about the problem. This is without the embarrasment of your friend having to bring it up.
