If you are here for some enjoyment, find yourself another question. I am very serious and looking for serious responses, so need for nagging.
My problem is:
I'm a very clean person, I shower daily, sometimes more... Every day before i leave for work I make sure to shower, and clean my private area with soap.
However, after a long day at work.. and when i do walk in the sun from building to building, I feel that I sweat down there, and it smells.
I can smell it clearly, without having to move. It embarrasses me because I care about my hygiene and I wonder if other people smell what I smell…
This always happens to me when I spend time (even if it were 5 minutes) outdoor, though I know it wash that area very well while showering every morning.
I don’t have any other hygiene problems, and I am wondering why this started appearing in the last few months.

If Excessive sweating is your problem you'll find here vert good tips: http://bitly.com/CureYourExcessiveSweating
About 2% to 3% of the general population experience excessive sweating a condition called hyperhidrosis which can occur with or without a trigger. The most common type is called primary (or focal) hyperhidrosis and it has no known cause, although it seems to run in families. You may have a different type of excessive sweating called secondary (or generalized) hyperhidrosis.
This means that your symptoms may be due to an underlying medical condition or disease (e.g., nerve damage or a hormone disorder), or due to a side effect of a medication you are taking. Talk to your doctor.

Some women just have stronger "odors" than others. Have you had a full physical with your OB to make sure that you don't have a "hidden" infection?
Also, do you drink a lot of water? Water cleanses out your entire system, and it could make your 'environment' down there more thin and watery, etc., and perhaps that could also assist with the odor.
I hope you find an answer, I'm sure that is very embarrassing for you. Good luck!

Sorry to hear you are having trouble....I understand u r serious. Although I don't have that problem myself, I understand how it can be embarrassing.
Below are 2 answers I cut and paste from some digging and searching I did on the internet. I hope this helps you.
NUMBER 1
Genital Odors
Like your armpits, your genital area contains apocrine sweat glands. They produce sweat when you're overheated, nervous, excited, or scared. While some odor in this area is normal, any fishy or strong odors should be checked out by your health professional.
Here's how to ward off everyday odors:
Wash your genital area daily with a mild soap. Deodorant soaps are too harsh for this delicate area.
Wear cotton underwear. Synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester trap air and moisture, which can contribute to odors.
Beware of pantyhose. They can increase sweating in the genital area.
Don't use vaginal deodorants or feminine hygiene sprays. These products can irritate the sensitive skin in the genital area.
Skip douching. Despite what those commercials say, douching is not necessary. In fact, it's not a good idea. According to some experts, douching can increase the risk of yeast infections and can upset the balance of good and bad bacteria in the vagina.
NUMBER 2
a womans vagina is a "self cleaning oven" soap never should actually go inside of it, again it washed out essential germ fighters.
do you take a bathe?
if you do then take a shower
when you take a bathe you are sitting in dirty water and where do you think the dirty water goes?
yes, inside your vagina where you don't need it to be.
yogurt is very important for women to eat, it has agents in it that replace, or boost our essential germ fighters for our vagina.
so eat atleast 2 yogurts a week.
don't use powdres or perfumes down there.
powder can actually cause infections.
you should try to wear cotton panties as much as possible instead of silk, it allows that area to "breathe " better
if i were you , i would get an over the counter yeast infection treatment, if that doesn't work then you need to go back to your md and demand answers.
if you have a constant discharge and your md said he could find no std's, then it's not an std.
and if he's not giving you proper care b/c of insurance reasons then you need to find your nearest free clinic.

You shouldn't clean your private area with soap, because if you don't wash all the soap away your body will go into fighting mode and treat it like a foreign body. When this happens your body produces its own cleansing fluids and this can be the smell.
Some of the other advice is right though, wear cotton undies as they do breathe better than synthetic material. If symptoms still persist you MAY have a yeast infection in which case a cream you can buy over the counter from the chemist may help.
If all else fails consult you gyno. Don't be embarrassed to talk to your Dr. Go and see a female one if you have a male and feel uncomfortable. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

if it is coming from inside...I have found that duching with white vinager and water helps this, if it is around your private areas if you wash the area with baking soda and water it helps the elimnate smells down there...it nuetralizes the bacteria that causes the oder they also make a Dr. Bronners peppermint soap which is very clean smelling and helps the sweating. Drinking lots of clean water helps too. you might want to think about taking acidophilis it coats the stomach and the entire intestinal track including the vagina which helps the smell quite a bit also...the natural baby wipes are good to keep in your purse for long days, all of these things have helped me in the past it sounds like your hormones are in play here which changes as we get older, I never had the problem until around my 30's not at 52 I dont have it anylonger but my hormones are totally different now...I know it can be very embarrasing...but trying these things did help me and I hope it helps you too

See a doctor. It could be something very silly or even serious. I know that is embarrassing to even tell a doctor but you may have too. Remember everyone is more self concision of them selves more than anyone else. You may smell it but that may not mean everyone else can. Good Luck!

Try anti-bacterial soap.
Wear skirts with no underwear to stay dry. If you don't tell anyone then noone will think you are a sl*t.
Some say diet affects sweat smell. So stay away from fats and heavy foods. Eat more fruits, grains, and vegetables.
And by the way, we humans are animals. Our sweat and bodies are supposed to have an odor.
