Well baking soda wash is as natural as you can go and all it does is neutralize the smell so you dont have to be so embarassed by it. Its okay to use a little bakinging soda with a little bit of water just on the outside, but i agree, do not deusche!

Don't douche.. maybe try summers eve wipes after going potty or to freshen up. They also have them female wash and deodeerant.  Ask your Dr and seewhat he think. Baking soda would work too.

You can always try the deodorants for our private parts.

Thanks ladies hope it goes away soon

Its natural. I suggest not trying anything. Its your body healing. If it makes you feel that uncomfortable then carry around summers eve feminine wipes and feminine spray for down there. I know what you're saying and how you feel but you can't and shouldnt rush your body from its natural healing process. Imagine and try to understand that the odor is what's been held in and put in for 40 long weeks. Good luck honey. Hope I helped out some.

Don't put anything in your vagina.  Sitzbaths should help, but don't douche.

You could try washing with baking soda to.help neutralize the odor but unfortunately theres not much you can do. It has everything to do with your girly parts cleaning out and the only way for it to do that is release all the fluids which will have a smell. I would go back in invlije a month if it doesnt start going away but for now a little baking soda well help.
