Seems pretty simple to me.....and buy him an electric toothbrush, it is great especially for lazy people.

 Wow maybe inform him that science is doing wonderful things with soap and water these days....lmao
Who knows maybe he needs his colon cleansed. Having a bunch of impacted waste in his colon could have brought this about. So maybe he is full of crap, literally.
Maybe its his diet as well. Id run down to the drugstore and pick up a good colon cleanser. Make his colon his friend again.

This is a long link copy and paste it into your browser....this may be what is going on with your husband. I think perhaps some marital counseling could be in order here, but I wouldn't hold my breath (no pun intended) for change because he has years of habits and passive agressive ways of dealing with things that are ingrained into his personality....but it is worth a shot.

This is going to sound like a strange answer to your question and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to try it...
Years ago a friend of mine (who's father is a dermatologist) told me that washing with any form of soap/shower gel washes away all the skin's natural moisture which actually causes your skin to sweat even more to replenish the lost moisture. My friend said the best course of action was to not use soap at all, just scrub with water when you wash.
I thought he was joking and never took any notice of him. But I am one of these people who sweats a lot, and during a recent spell of hot weather I decided to give his suggestion a try - and it worked!
I go running three times a week and I cycle to work five days a week, yet I never suffer from BO. I rarely use any deodorant or antiperspirant and I sweat half as much as I used to.

Explain to him, that it is a serious problem and that it is beginning to make you feel sick and uncomfortable. If he loves you enough - He will be willing to change, I think. Just ask him to make a little more effort. A toothbrush and deodorant are not that expensive :))
