I’ve read in Reader’s Digest that vinegar has the ability to eliminate body odor. I am no skeptic to this claim, since a reader raved about how effective vinegar is in abolishing the nose-tickling hygiene problem. My question is, how do you use vinegar to eliminate body odor and how often should you do it?

I know vinegar helps women with their, um, personal hygiene. Something about it helps to restore our pH balances and that makes the odor go away. You just mix half water and half vinegar and pour it on. No more odor! It doesn’t hurt or sting like you might think it would, despite its acidic smell. A lot of the commercial douche products have vinegar in it.
