Been homeless for about a month. Been changing clothes normally and I clean myself with adult wipes, but have not had a shower and have been out in the desert. I have been eating fairly healthy and also I am very good at interpreting body language and emotional response in people and nobody has given me the stink eye. (Oh wow I just realized the etymology of that phrase!)
In past experience I have found I stink the worst about 3 days after a shower, but then things kind of go into homeostasis. Or I just get used to ky own funk.
Not sure what to believe. Gonna jump into a river at first opportunity.

Stink is relative. Yes you stink, but if you're changing into clean clothes once or twice a day, you likely may not reek. Just be careful about raising your arms around people, lol! It's still possible to reek if you change your clothes frequently, so be sure to drink plenty of water and keep changing those clothes.
