every one has some level of odor...that's normal. if its bad or unpleasant don't use perfumed things to wash or cover it, go see a doctor. unpleasant or foul odor is caused by infections of some sort. the use of internal cleaning products...(summers eve etc) actually make infections worst by throwing off the proper levels of flora that live there naturally...(they need to be there to keep things healthy). if yous ee a doctor they can explain to you things to do to prevent infections and ordor.

One of the most common causes of vaginal odor is bacterial vaginosis (BV), a type of vaginitis. BV results from an overgrowth of one or several organisms that are normally present in your vagina. As certain organisms multiply, they produce chemicals that cause a fish-like odor characteristic of BV. The odor may be more obvious after sexual intercourse. Repetitive douching disrupts the normal organisms that live in the vagina and can actually increase the risk of vaginal infection.
Signs and symptoms of BV may also include grayish-white discharge and vaginal itching or irritation. BV isn't serious, although it may cause preterm labor in pregnant women. Treatment typically is with prescription medications, usually antibiotics.
Other causes of vaginal odor include:
Poor hygiene
"Losing" a tampon — when a tampon rises to the wider, top part of the vagina and lodges there, leading to infection
A childbirth injury to the connection between the rectum and vagina, which can lead to fecal odor
Rarely, advanced tumors of the cervix or vagina
Also I recommend that you do some research or talk to your doctor.

Vaginal odor is not good or normal, if you practice good hygiene and your vagina smells, GO TO THE DOCTOR----not good.
