This one girl at work keeps calling me a "fat ugly toothless bittch that smells like rags" And I was on my period the first time she said it, but I couldn't smell anything. It's embarassing because now more people are saying it. Any help would be appreciated.

I shower every morning before I go to work. Should I start washing my coo at work?

I changed my nickname to something more fresh and fragrant. I hope it helps.

Use Ivory soap, change your napkin often, and take 2 or 3 baths a day, and wash up every so often....
You will need to keep your sheets , clothes, and house clean toooo so nothing in your home will smell. Spray w/ a lysol disinfectant and maybe open up your windows to air our your house.
Good luck and hope this helps.. but remeber..use soap and water and clean really really well,, several times a day.

A healthy, and clean vagina should smell a little like yoghurt. The reason is that healthy vaginal fluid has dilute acetic acid (vinegar), and lactic acid as vaginal fluid components . These two chemicals make vaginal fluid acidic. Bacteria are inhibited by acid conditions. But not yeasts (which are fungi). A vagina that has a fishy odour is symptomatic of an infection by various species of the bacterium Gardnerella, and several other, as yet, unidentified anaerobic bacteria.. (once called Hemophilus vaginalis). Usually another symptom of that infection is that the vaginal fluid is milky white or gray. Healthy vaginal fluid is colourless. The bacterial infection can be killed by either, the antibiotic, metronidazole, or clindamycin, or moxifloxacin. You and all your partners should be treated at the same time. Otherwise there could be a ping-pong series of reinfections.
There are other causes for vaginal odour, (e.g. yeast infections, etc.). Improper hygeine is another cause. But vaginal douching is no longer recommended.
You should visit a gynecologist and have the problem examined, and vaginal cultures taken.

Good hygiene is very important at all times but especially during your period. You should shower daily (twice daily if need be). Sometimes women use baby wipes to freshen up throughout the day. (Put some baby wipes in a Ziploc bag and keep them in your purse). Perhaps every time you change your pad or tampon, you could use a baby wipe to clean your genitals as well.
Make certain to wash your clothing daily and change into fresh clean underwear as often as needed during the day. Use deodorant, keep your bedding clean by washing it weekly. Soap and water are your best defenses against odor, so use them.
This girl has brought it to your attention, now it's up to you to take care of it. If people can't smell the odor, they'll stop talking. Now that you're going to make these changes in your life... smile with confidence knowing that you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing to be clean and fresh!! Good luck!

I guess the first question that needs to be answered is: "Are you?"
If you are a "fat ugly toothless ***** who smells like rags" then I'd bet my bottom dollar that ALL of those guys who love the smell of rags will be pounding down your door to go out with you.
No need to try out for the exotic dancer job and give away too many details before the first date. Just take out a personal ad in the Guys-who-like-the-smell-of-Rags magazine and you should be able to tell the good looking guys by the nicknames they give themselves, or by the nicknames that they give to certain parts of their anatomy.
And try not to be too embarrassed by all the attention you get at work. Embrace the limelight. Some folks go completely unnoticed all of their lives.
Who's rags do you smell like anyway? I might be interested. I spell my name Danger. That's Nick Danger, Third Eye.

They have special wipes now for women to help feel fresh and clean (down south) and start using FDS spray (feminine deodorant spray) that stuff is really good when you are on your monthly...you won't feel so self conscious either.
This is assuming that you do shower each day...if not start your day out with a shower. Good Luck

I would say just keep clean down there. I think that pads leave more of a smell then Tampons. But if you must use tampons there are cleansing clothes for women on there period.

wash a little better, change your female products more frequently, and maybe change your nickname cornfunkel to some more fresh and fragrant.
