Smelly?

---

I've noticed I've always been rather...stinky, down there.

Is it just me? Are there things I can do to not be smelly? Lol.

I want to become more intimate with my boyfriend, however it's difficult when I feel like he'll be turned off by the stench down there. =\

Please help. :frowning:

hi there. how often do you clean yourself? i find that before i shaved all of the hair off, it smelled a little weird. and now that im clean shaven the smell has decreased a LOT. theres like no smell now. lolyou might just smell a little stronger all the time. thats normal. however, if it smells like beer or bread, or a really bad fishy smell, you should get it checked out at the docs.

I shower and shave everyday.It's not a smell that's cause for concern, rather just embarassing.Are there things I can do to decrease the smelling?

Haha, I honestly doubt that. It is like borderline stench.One of my girlfriends suggested the other day perhaps wiping better and more after going to the bathroom. Would that do the trick?

somewhere I read that if you put soap up there or too much soap around there that it can cause a bad smell. I'm not sure of the validity of that, but it's possible you might be doing that or it's an infection.

If it's just a body odor smell, that's not really that bad. Just shower right before you get intimate with your boyfriend or shortly before he comes over.

An important question: was your odor always like this or did it change recently?If it's always been strong, then this is probably your natural smell. Nothing you can do but keep yourself clean. However, if this is a change and its strong enough to penetrate through your clothes, then it might be an infection.

so by stinky.. is it sweaty? or like fishy?i had a problem like yours a while back.. i am a VERY clean person.. but for some reason i could wash and the smell would come too soon.. so when i went to the gyno.. sure enough i had a bacteria infection.. and he gave me this insert cream to insert one time and i havent had a problem since!but yeah.. when washing, to prevent infections that could cause smell.. i would use a fragrance free/sensitive skin soap, like ivory or dove exfoliating soap.. i have VERY sensitive skin and neither of those have ever givin me problems.. and another good thing is to buy some on the go wipes, like feminine ones.. so you can freshen up whenever.. all of those things help me and the girls i know!good luck

Your diet is reflected strongly in your smell/taste of 'down there.'

Things like caffeine (do you drink lots of coffee?), and meats can cause a stronger smell.
While fruits (pineapple juice is a good recommendation) and veggies may help you be smell less/taste better.

I dunno if it works for everyone, but i makes sense to me... what you eat is what you are.

Try changing your diet? eat foods that are better for your body.
It all reflects.

Hope this helps
