Well even though you are a virgin you having a vagina makes you suseptible to certain infections ie yeast, bacterial etc. So my first suggestion is to go to a gynocologist and have a pap smear done to see if you have an infection. If that checks out try using feminine wipes or spray before your first experience with your husband, eat more of a balanced diet some foods can cause disrruption in the ph of the vagina thus creating a more hostile environment ie odor or salty taste you can research this. Another suggestion is to rub a little sugar on your vagina before you guys experience each others bodies for the first time bc this will make you taste sweet assuming he may give you oral. Wishing you the best BB
Virginity has nothing to do with vaginal odor. It is normal for any woman, virgin or not, to have a certain amount of odor down there because there isn't much air circulation through our clothing. We're human. We sweat. We smell. Women smell and so do men and their man-parts.
You can try wearing loose clothing, like skirts, and cotton underwear. Fabrics like nylon hold moisture, which allows bacteria to flourish, which then causes odor. We women produce a certain amount of clear vaginal discharge during our reproductive years. It can be lighter or heavier from day to day depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle. As long as the discharge is clear, it is completely normal. This discharge is the same lubrication your body will produce even more of when you are sexually stimulated. That lubrication is important during sex. Without it, sex can be painful and certainly not pleasurable for either you or your partner.
If this odor you notice is something new and out of the ordinary, then go see a gynecologist. Women can get vaginal and urinary tract infections for all kinds of reasons other than having sex. Matter of fact, it wouldn't hurt to see your gynecologist for a checkup and perhaps some reassurance that you're completely normal. :-)
