Depends on the odor.
Most women have a natural pheremone odor. THAT is normal.
However, if the odor is foul, yeasty, or has a amonia type smell... no that is not normal.
Here are some other things to consider with feminine odor.
Are you having difficulty with urination? Does it burn when you pee? Does it feel like you have to pee all the time? This could be a Urinary Tract Infection which can also cause your urine and vaginal odor to smell more amonia like.
Do you have a yellowish discharge? (yellowish creamy stuff smells kinda yeasty) Do you itch? That could be a yeast infection and they do have odor and it can be painful with a mild to nasty discharge.
If you are having any type of greenish discharge, then my dear... Dr. pronto for antibiotics.. cause that is something probably pretty nasty...

It's very natural for a woman to smell like a woman. Just your usual bathing will take care of any excess odor; or, you can douche with water and vinegar. Take care that you don't douche every day because you're setting yourself up for a great yeast infection. There is such a thing as "too much" in this case. Good luck.

A slight odor is ok - when it gets strong you really need to see a doctor. We have a natural pH balance that needs to stay balanced so its best not to just use all those creams and sprays because you upset the balance.

yes it is.....take a bath and after sprinkle some baby powder in your underwear, it helps!
...but if you have order with discolored discharge,or any other not ordinary symptoms, you may want to see your OB/GYN it could be an infection
Good Luck and don't worry about it too much...you're normal!

Every woman does - so it's normal. You can use douches (vinegar kill the most odor), Norforms, sprays and powders, and feminine wipes.

It is but you also may have a bacterial infection if you take frequent baths or douche too much

Quite normal, it's not going to have no smell at all, I'd be concerned only if it was very strong.
Good luck!

it's totally normal. especially if you're just going through pubirty ( I don't know how old you are). you could try FDS spray, it works really good.
