Showering and cleaning are two different things. Especially if he showers or takes naked baths to soothe muscles. These actions could make him smell worse due to sweating. They could also make bacterial infections like yeast worse. He needs to start cleaning fully with a disinfectant soap such as dial. Then an antiperspirant for the pits and possibly for the grown area.
Underwear and under clothes in general need to be washed with soap and water as the soap will help emulsify body oils and will help kill bacteria. Once he has established good “known” hygiene standards and if he is still smelling he will need to see a doctor.
The biggest issue from a conversation stand point is how long you have let this go. When you finally tell him he has stunk for months to the point of missing out on sex and smelling at work is trust. I simply wouldn’t trust someone that let me be in an embarrassing situation for months. Imagine you had a booger on your nose. He tells you he noticed it two months ago. Meanwhile you have been to friends, meetings, and many stores.
Ps if he is a guy and takes 3 to 4 showers a day he is 99% addicted to porn and masturbation.
Today I had a profile on Grindr that said “looking for weed” send me a dick pic, this makes so much more sense now
Break up, you can't stop them, and you are not into woman.
Side note you should start referring to her as a she if that's what she wants.
