hi all,
this may sound disgusting, but I recently started a new job that I am sitting all day long for 10 hrs... since i started there, ive notice an amonia smell... It gets worse throughout the day... i can smell it when im sitting there and i am perinoid that people by me can smell it too... when i use the restroom my panies are moist, so i don't know it is just sweating down there.. on the weekends, i don't smell it at all.. what do you think... what do you think i can do to get rid of the smell or what it is... any help will be greatly appreciate

I have noticed this Amonia smell too. Hopefully the pantyliner things will work, cos it sounds like an easy fix.
I haven't had it since I switched jobs, but I used to get that smell mostly around the time of my period and for a week or two afterwards. It was really strong. Yuck.
I read online that the chemicals included in the bleaching process that is used in making some toliet paper, tampons and pads, can get absorbed into your blood stream from being in/close to your body/membranes. And it can change the Ph balance of your body.. I also read that the smell gets more intense if using "scented" tampons/pads. I bought some cloth pads and used them exclusively during my period. Actually this did help. I didn't get the strong smell anymore.
It's just a guess, but maybe the brand of toliet paper they use at your work is heavily bleached? Maybe try bringing some from home to see if this helps?
