how do you help or prevent from smelling musty down in your vaginal area? yes i wash everyday the doctor said.

Question

the doctor said some people smell like that down there and its normal...but i dont like the smell and i was womdering what i could do to prevent the smelling..help asap!

Answer 1

I would carry those feminine wipes. And just wipe with that instead of the toilette paper (when you use the restroom). AND they also have this feminine spray for down there, which works pretty well! And very inexpensive.

Answer 2

Do not douche. That is the dumbest thing. Douches kill the healthy bacteria in the vagina and leave you susceptible to yeast infections and other crap that will smell _really_ bad.

Vaginas were not meant to smell like flowers or perfume or vanilla breeze or apple blossoms or whatever other ridiculous ideas Victoria's Secret and the media gives women. Vaginas were meant for certain men's items to go into and for babies to come out of and not to be shy and prissy and careful and neatly folded. If you wash every day (more often than I do), don't even worry about it unless people regularly sniff your crotch while you're walking down the sidewalk. Guys know how a crotch naturally smells, and the decent ones appreciate it in the same way that girls put up with guys' equally nasty genitalia.

So go do something fun and stop worrying about your crotch.

Answer 3

That's a hard question. A lot of people would suggest douching, but that will throw off the PH balance and could cause yeast infections. Try carrying baby wipes when you go to the bathroom, or find a water based spray; They sometimes sell them in grocery stores in the women's aisle.

Answer 4

Don't worry about it. Guys are hungry for stink. (Nod to L7). Otherwise, If you plan on being with someone, just wash her off in the sink before you get down. (backwards, you know) By the way, the ph of your soap can have something to do with it, too.

Answer 5

Well, make sure your wear cotton panties. Silk and other nylons cause you to sweat, causing odor. You could also use panty liners, and they also have feminine deodorants like FDS. Spray on you and your panties. This should help you. Douching is not really necessary, as it will disrupt your PH balance, which could cause yeast infections. Your body will naturally cleanse itself.

Answer 6

Have u tried vaginal cleansers and sprays for down there?? If you have and still smell that way then I think it might be the foods you eat...Try cutting down on whatever it is that ur eating and see if it make a difference. Good luck. :)

Answer 7

douche sister
if you have that much of a problem i would douche twice a week

and if that didnt keep me smelling nice enough i guess i would get down and dirty about it lol and keep a bottle fill it with water in the shower every day and flush it out
lol sorry about the lol


good luck


one other thing id like to mention
everyone's body is different
but i have always douched once a month and ive never had a yeast infection........from douching, or otherwise

Answer 8

Threes lots of products at any drug store like target wal-mart go to the ladies section where they have all the pantyliner and things they have lots of thing you can use especially for that section of your body, because you can just use anything let me know how it goes

Answer 9

Nose plugs would be your best bet. We evolved from the sea, note how fish don't have noses.
Talcum powder is well known to be carcinogenic.

Answer 10

Ummmm ...... why are you smelling yourself "down there"? If you wash everyday, just use a little talcum powder (or baby powder) to keep it fresh.

(I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they smelled "musty")
