Vaginal Discharge, And Crotches In General

Bad Smell is often said to be a symptom of many many infections and diseases pertaining to the vaginal area.

But even when I am bathing daily and know for a fact I have nothing wrong with me there is still an odor.

Other women I know agree with this statement for themselves.

(The consensus between us was that is was musky and when one doesn't shower musky and a tad fishy.)

Is it normal and healthy to have any odor? If so, what causes it and what should it smell like?

i notice more of a smell before and during my period. Sweating is probably your culprit. If you wear looser clothing and cotton panties this can help. Sometimes silky panites and thongs, and tight jeans can make you sweat more and cause more bacterial infections.

An odor is not normal. Sounds like you could have BV and that has to be treated by a prescription that a doctor calls in. I would get it checked out for that and see what the doctor says.
