My husband is a very large man and he has always had an odor, even after his shower. I read up on it and it seems to be the moisture in the folds. Now that I know what causes it and how to control it, how do I tell him? I don't want to hurt his feelings, but the smell is definatly taking it's toll on our physical relationship. He is a very sensitive man and I am just not sure how to tell him about the smell and how to control it. Thanks for any advice.

He obviously is not bathing properly in the folds.
He needs to wash good, rinse well in the folds, dry with towel, dry with hairdryer in the folds and then apply Zeazorb-AF powder. Dead bacteria stinks no matter what unless it is removed from the skin.
A hand held shower head is the best way to rinse in the folds. If you don't have one, tell him "you" would like to have one and get it for you and encourage him to use it too.
I doubt there is a kind way of telling him, however, you could encourage him to do the above so he will be more comfortable and prevent getting a bacterial or fungus infection due to moisture and warmth. I have had bacteria and fungus under my tummy and the cracked raw skin is no fun to deal with. My dermatologist was so kind as to insist I lose weight so I did not have the problem!!
Best thing is to cook and serve smaller portions in order to help him lose weight. Never put bowls of food on the table, too easy to go back for seconds, thirds, etc. Serve plates, put leftovers in frig and then sit down for the meal. No food on the stove either to get seconds. Do not have snacks around.
