"Embarrassing Problem"

OK this has to be theeeeeeeeee most embarassing topic I can ever talk to anyone about.

However, I am really concerned so I will risk the embarassment.

Basically I am really failing to understand why my bum area always smells. PLEASE dont make toilet humour jokes, I am a thoroughly hygenic person and in very good health. However, it always seems as if I have pumped constantly or even soiled my pants with faeces.

Neither of the two are actually the case, and it makes me very very nervous. For example, I work in ASDA behind the till and whenever I stand up to go for my break or whatever, the chair will always stink of poo even if I have only been there for a few minutes. And NO, there is absolutely nothing ''up there'' which may be causing the smell. The worst thing is, its a running joke amongst ALL of my work colleagues and they think I cant see them pulling disgusted faces. It does seem to get worse whenever I sit down. I cannot go in a car with ANYONE, and if I get onto a bus I have to sit on my own at the back with the windows open.

It has actually resorted to me visiting the loo every chance I can and spraying perfume onto my bum. Part of me felt it could be a simple case of sweating, however I highly doubt it because I never actually do sweat around that area :' { I bath myself twice a day and always ensure when I am doing a number 2 that I am completely clean ;' {

Now I know you are all probably laughing your heads off, but please understand this is a REAL problem I have and it is driving me insane with anger.

Special underwear?
I never thought of that ...

Yeah, but its mint from the vast mountainous region of Scotland.

Gonna look into this special underwear, cheers!

Teatree?! OUCH! That stuff's for hair, isn't it? :D

I saw in a clothes catalogue once that you can get underwear that prevents unfortunate odours.

Put your face IN SOME ACID.

You've tried it m8? lol

That would be stupid.
It stings after a while, and eventually leaks.

Put ''Tea Tree'' shower gel up the dark area.

I've only found one solution to our problem - fashioning a small cork from scented soap and putting it in place. It worked for a while but as I walked, the soap reacted to the friction and the moisture of my skin and lathered up into big bubbles.

The every-day embarrassment doesn't compare to such an event.
Never again.

Although I'm sure some kind or permanent, removeable scented object is the way to go.
