vaginal smell after sex

I am 21 years old and have been married for almost 4 months. I have noticed that after sex, I have a foul smell from my vagina. My husband and I were both virgins when we got married, and obviously there is no one else. I always empty my bladder and clean off after sex. The smell seems to be more noticable if we've had more sex in a short period of time. Also the smell doesn't show up until usually the next day, but lingers for a day or two! I feel like the whole world can smell it! Also, there is no discharge, and I've had yeast infections before so I know its not that. I am on birth control, ortho tricyclin.  Please let me know if there is anything that I can do about this! Otherwise I have my yearly appt in 3 months....

Found a quick and easy solution. I had read that garlic was good for yeast infections but didn't realize it works for this too. I cut a clove in half and inserted for an hour. Removed and no more smell at all! WARNING: You need to be able to get the garlic out. I sewed a string through the garlic the long way and tied it so that it would act like a tampon. When I was ready, I pulled the string and out it came. I sure there are other methods but that worked for me. Yay garlic!

Hi I'm also a married women and I too have the same issue the next day after intercourse I found a solution that works if you go by Walmart they sell these vaginal medicated wipes that helps with the foul odor and they also have a pink style bottle to shower but it's only used for ur vaginal area. It helps reduce the foul smell and it helps to shower every day with it.

Omg, I thought i was alone... My hubby and I use condoms and i noticed that as soon as i *** there is a smell... Its not fishy thank god... it use to be when we were working on our son.  Ive been checked not infections, but even if i masturbate I smell it, its like a sweaty kinda smell.. not awful but not sweet or pleasant.. I know its associated with my O, bc if i fake it I dont smell it...
