I feel weird asking this but i have kind've an odor down there. I wash myself everyday so it's not that I'm dirty or whatever and i know we're supposed to have one but I think it's more then what it should be. Is there anything i can buy or do that won't make it smell as strong as i think it is?

Do not douche, if you have a infection that will only push the bacteria into your uterus, try switching to cotton panties using a pantyliner
if these do not help check with your Dr,

You are NOT supposed to have a smell down there. If you notice a smell even after you shower and clean thouroghly that is an indication of a problem. Always keep an eye out for odor and discharge they are both good indicators of a problem.
You should go see your doctor, you probably have an infection of some kind maybe even a STD. Ignoring something like that can have dire consequences including sterility, or even cancer and possibly death. If you have discharge especially colored discharge and itching or burning especially during urination and/or sex that is more cause for concern.
In any case, try soaking in a relaxing non-bubble bath, it will help you get cleaner (inside and out) stay away from douche it will only mask real problems.

yeah everyone has a smell..but if it is a foul smell, or fishy smell it could be a yeast or bacterial infection. You can actually kill off the good bacteris down there by using soaps with fragrance, or using too much. i'd check with your dr...if it isn't foul, try using a powder, or carry sani wipes with you..but not too often(same reason as the soap) also if you are hairy..i know that sounds weird but if you are, the hair "holds" odor longer....so good luck

Well you could have an infection. Which you can get from wiping the wrong direction or that you have a stronger oder. Use a medicated douche or next time you go to the gyno tell them about this problem. Don't be emb. about when you ask they are used to these things.

Make an app. with your obgyn. Just by the smell of it she can tell more if its (your odor) is normal or abnormal. That will give her a better idea of what's going on to inform you.

There are feminine sprays and also you can use feminine moist wipes after using the bathroom. If that doesn't work, ask a doctor.

Is it stronger during your period? Might be an old tampon lodged deep inside. Sounds hard to believe, but you would be surprised how often women do this. Either way, you should go see your gyn.

Shave =) Pubic hair traps odor.
