im not really sure how to answer this because there isnt a whole lot of information. we are naturally "wet"/have discharge as that is our bodies way of cleansing itself. and/or usually occurs when we get aroused. im not sure to what extent you have wetness? also, the odor (depending how strong)is natural too. if you have a strong fishy odor then you could have bacterial vaginosis. other than that, sometimes if you use a perfumy soap and you dont rinse enough, it can mix w. your natural odor and cause it to smell. just use a non-scented soap, rinse well. there are also feminine cloths you can wipe yourself with to help w. odor. we all have some sort of "smell" down there thats natural but if its VERY strong it could indicate some sort of infection.

You might want to see your doctor to be sure you don't have some kind of infection, too.

If you are concerned or embarrassed about the wetness, try putting a small dose of baby powder on you underwear.  Or even wear a panty liner.  These will both absorb the discharge and you will not notice it as much.  The baby powder may also absorb some of the odors.

Baby powder is good. I have heard that Vagasil brand is just for that.

If you have a smell that really bothers you, I would consider going to your Dr.

Good luck.

if i was you, i would see your doctor. it sounds like you may have an infection. if doc tells you that your okay, then the baby powder sounds about right. also, a powder with corn starch may be helpful. if all is okay, maybe it's a good thing. some of us have to buy lubricants because we are the opposite of wet. good luck to you
