The smell of my vagina

Okay so I'm 17 and I've never been sexually active . I would never be comfortable with just wearing underwear so I would wear party liners all the time but then I noticed a smell on my liners so I started using a Summer's eve spray for down there to cover up the smell. That worked but I got tired of wearing the liners so I stopped . Through out the day I start to smell weird almost like the ph of my vagina is off . It's disgusting and embarrassing . My first boyfriend tried to go down on me and he said he didn't like the sent . It's was so embarrassing . What do I do to get rid of the smell . I wash with summers eve wash down there as well . I take care of myself but everything I've tried isn't working . Is it possible that I might have an infection ? But from what I've never done anything . I looked online and it said sitting in baking soda for 20 minutes helps balance your ph so I tried that and it worked for a few days then the smell came back . PLEASE HELP ME ASAP

Your vagina naturally cleans itself 24/7 so using soaps and perfuming products can irritate your china and therefore cause a strong odor. Also your diet can affect how your vagina smells. So eating healthy and avoiding soaps and perfumes in your vaginal area will help with odor problem.

As long as the baking soda routine worked for a few days, you could do that every three for four days, whatever it takes, to keep it under control.  In time, hopefully, you won't need to do it as much or at all, at least until you get some better advice.
