clean smelling vagina
Does anyway know any safe ways (not douching) to get a fresh smelling vagina? i feel that sometimes i dont smell fresh, and id like to always, for my boyfriend. suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thank you
Stop using panty liners so much. They make you sweat down there and are a breeding ground for bacteria :-/// LET UR VAGINA BREATHE
Use unscented wipes daily. You can also get a vitamin called acidophilus it can live cultures and helps to eliminate other sorts of bacterial that may be trapped. If the smell is foul the doctor will prescribed flayl for a week. Good luck beautiful ladies
My way of getting rid of vag smell or period smell is eating plain non favored yogurt and i also take a luke warm bath with vingear. Lemons also helps with the smell.
Tell him to go pound sand up his arse,lol,anyway's when you have sex does he wear a condom? sometimes women have an allergic reaction to latex,or if he doesn't wear one then it could probably be that he isn't practicing good hygiene after he goes to the bathroom , I mean really figure what percentage of men wash their penis after they go to the bathroom? hmm NOT ALOT, lol, they think the shake does the trick, well it doesn't, tell him to be more aware of his own hygiene, it might be his bad habit that causes ur bodily reaction, see how he feels if you turned the table, maybe he might actually take that into consideration and get off the ripping your self esteem apart,me personally? when I freshen up before sex I always bring a wet washcloth to clean his genital areas before and after sex,always,but that's just me,rather be safe than sorry,I really hope that helps put him in his place! ; )
yea I have the same problem,and how I got rid of it,is get a summers eve douche bottle and use it no more than 1 time per week to keep the good bacteria in their,my doctor said only douch 1 time per week and I do with summerseve,but keep the bottle after u used it,and when u take a shower take the empty douche bottle with you,fill it up with nice warm water,and just douch it out 4 times only with water ,and then wash with the summerseve feminine wash atleast 2 times a day,and I also find that scented liquid handsoap works great like raspberry vanilla,wash the outside of your vagina and rectum with these ,use a cup and squat in the tub use your fingers all around the clitoris and labia and scrub them with either of them soaps,atleast handsoap 2 times a week and summerseve femine wash twice a day,and douch with water twice a day filling it up with warm water 4 times,dont forget to use the cup and squat in the bathtub rise first real good and then scrub your vagina with fingers for rectum too ,let sit about 5 minutes total from beginning to end of scrubbing then rinse with large cup,do this twice a day at the most it works for me and the smell is gone ..Gook luck ..I know it will work for u it did me..
Put a small piece of frozen Plain yogurt in the vagina every night after showering. Only wash vagina with mild soap with no fragrance only. Just plain water and vinegar if possible.The plain yogurt will keep your ph level balanced. Try it and you will see for yourself that it works.
Vagisil pH wash. Only thing that works.. it will leave you with no smell at all.
I had that problem as well. And I found that douching just gave me yeast infections. I tried the product RePhresh and I love it. Its like a gel and it brings your ph levels back to normal. I started using it like once a week then noticed that I didn't need it that often anymore, but now I just use it after my period. Its a little on the expensive side but now I use the kit that comes with a douch and the inserts and its about $8.
I've always wondered if other women go through the same amount of effort to smell "fresh" as I do.
My tricks:
1. *Wet wipes each time I use the restroom. Even a wet paper towel works.
2. Keep your vagina dry; wear breathable cotton underwear. Panty-liners also work for me.
3. I stopped using fragrant detergent/ fabric softener on my underwear because they caused me to have mild yeast infections
4. Use soap externally only, as the instructions advise. Not doing this also caused mild yeast infections
5. *Take baths. Salt baths work well too. I've used Epson, and table salt; they seemed to work the same
And, If I sense a mild yeast infection coming on, I've tried remedies such as organic apple cider vinegar, regular vinegar, and plain unsweetened Greek yogurt on my vulva (not at the same time).
They've all worked for me, but everyone is different.

I have a lot of discharge coming out of my vagina and kind of a bad order. What can,i get over the counter or usr so that it can go away
Okay, I have read all of these comments and not one person said to actually get "in" there and clean w/ your fingers...while showering, of course, and using just water. I don't have a smell or discharge problem b/c I take care of that first thing in the morning and then followed w/ feminine deodorant spray. Yes, I agree to see your Gynocologist to rule out any STD's or other kinds of infections...and keeping shaved helps cut down sweating as well.
Bi-Carb soda!!!!!!!! bi- carb soda is great for the whole body, Sprinle a little in hands, add a small amount of water (enough that it makes a paste) and wash those areas that need extra attention. Also good for underarms.
Me and my husband are tryin to het pregnant and now all we can think about is the smell from in between my legs I wash everyday and we can't even sit ont he couch and watch a movie together without the smell creepin in is there a way I can get rid of the smell without messing with the chances of conceiving?
I have never had a vaginal odor that wasn't considered pheromone odor unless I haven't bathe for a few days. I suggest taking a douch bottle and using pure water to clean the inside of your vagina. Or even putting the tip of the rag inside your vagina to clean out the inside. That way whatever is on the walls of your vagina are not growing. Causing the odor. See if that works for you if not then try your local GYN....
Talk to your doctor. A bad odor or discharge usually means you have an infection. It could just be a small yeast infection, or it could be an STD.
If it is neither, you are fine. Your body can take care of itself like it is meant to. Remember douching is bad (that's why we call jerks douches, cause they are bad for us). Baby wipes are the cheapest and easiest way to clean the outside (don't enter where he enters) everything else is fair game. You know you've gone too far if you're a little raw/tiny burning sensation. But otherwise, it's natural. And as for wanting to smell good for him, honey, his junk smells too, and it tastes nasty. It's nature, get comfortable. Don't do something for him he's not willing to do in return.

Great I did what u said my Susie is fresh and clean ! I keep a bottle of diluted apple cider vinegar to spritz the area! I feel fresh clean and confident ! Drink plenty of water with lemon and whola stench is gone!
If its a fishy smell and u have a discharge it maybe something call bacterial vaginosis (bv). I had it before and my doctor said it usually come from douching and she told me to go get some pills called floragen they work very well after a week I start noticing a difference u can purchase them from any pharmacy but I purchase mines from walmart pharmacy
Hello!
I read Every ones post and I immediately see a problem. Almost every woman on here only tries to treat smell, or Itchiness etc… even If you go to see your doctor(depending on the problem, could be an std) They are only going to treat for now, not later. The biggest problem is your just trying to fix the problems with your vagina when you really should be focusing on your overall health. Women trying to fix the problem use medication, powder, over wash, use wipes, douche, natural remedies etc.. that can just often make the situation worse. You read everywhere that the vagina naturally cleans itself. But if you don’t treat your body right, everything is going to go all hairy carry on you. If you don’t drink or eat well ex: you like drinking lots of soda, or dehydrate yourself or you like eating a bunch of sugary foods , or you go out to eat all the time or all of the above, your body is going to react in a very negative way. This will effect every part of your life… you might feel tired all the time never have energy, you might be more irritable, your skin may look dull or be covered in acne, you may gain or lose weight in the wrong ways, get sick often, your sweat may smell, your breath might smell and even worse… your vagina. I personally think when you smell everywhere and you feel most of the symptoms above, that is your body telling you, you are full of toxins and it’s time to detoxify and Hydrate yourself. Go on a diet that promotes good female health. I went on a diet that changed my life. I watched the documentary forks over knifes.. And it put allot of things into perspective for me. I began to eat an all natural diet, I drank allot of water and exercised for 30min a day… this is compared to having a careless all I can eat and want to eat diet( lots o’ sugar) I loved soda(still do), I took my vitamins: b-vitamins, women’s daily vitamins, CRANBARRIE pills, garlic, omegas etc. My life changed sooo much. My skin had a glow to it, I started losing weight immediately, my energy went up, I enjoyed exercising after a while, my aches and pains were gone, the smells were gone, and actually had more of a floral scent to it, was moist down there, my sex drive went way up, I felt like a teen again. and the most unexpected and my favorite part was- My confidence was back and everyone noticed I changed allot, in a very short period of time. Water and exercise specifically have an effect, it helps release the toxins in your body that you store over time.. Water helps delude and exercising excretes toxins through your pores(sweat). Sugars are already stored in your vaginas lubricant.. So eating too much is overkill, also being dehydrated causes you to become dry, having both created the itch and the smell… so in my opinion if your starting to smell… maybe your vagina is trying to warn you you’re a little unhealthy. Keep your body and your mind healthy they go hand in hand it’s the way we are made as humans. Do your research I am not a professional… just an advocate for my success and journey. If you can’t commit to everything take it one thing at a time. My advise is to drink ALLOT of water… not too much. Look up how much you should drink for your size, then go on to the next step and the next. And here are some obvious female tips: don’t use powder, wash your hands before you touch yourself, don’t leave a tampon in for too long use pads if possible (could easily cause bacteria to form creating an infection) don’t over wash your vagina, it does it itself, use warm water and your fingers, if you take a bath avoid bubble baths and make sure your tub is clean.and Change your underwear often! A positive mental attitude is an important part to your success. Try these tips, the more of the habits you try to change the better your results. Like I said I am not a doctor do research on what I have said and come up with your own conclusion… if anyone chooses to use my advice please post and even tell what you’ve changed, your success, and what you learned. Thank you all! and I hope I helped.

Im a fourteen year old virgin and I have problems with my vaginal area. Everytime I shave I get bumps and irritation and redness for 2-3 days. I get fishy smells down there sometimes and I sweat ALOT. I have to keep my legs tightly closed aorund people because I'm so insecure about the way I smell. I have redness in the folds of my vagina and a few, I suppose you could call them, spots on the left just on the part where my inner thigh and vagina connect. I also have two big, red spot on my bum too, near my anus. I am very very self consscious about down there but I am too shy to consult a doctor or even tell my mother. Help?
