Is it normal that i stink down there 5 mins after showering?

sometimes i dont take a shower for weeks not even washing down there. then when i take a shower and scrub really hard and long down there to get rid of the stink 5 mins later i still stink. do i have an infection or something. but i have always had bad hygiene even as a kid and it has always stunk down there even if i shower twice daily thats why i just completely gave up i only shower if i have to.

    maybe you should get someone to lick you clean. you know what i mean? like real deep inside of you. like when you pay a columbian prostitute to give you a good thorough rim job.

    Drop a few pine tree air-fresheners into your undies.

    How about doing every person you come into contact with a favor and shower regularly? Of course you will still smell. A five minute shower isn't going to makeup for weeks of not showering.

    i think you might need to shower more...shower every day for 2 weeks and if same thing still happens i would go right to the DR might have some kind of YEST infection...males and females can both get them

    • Grow up, I don't know if you're a boy or a girl but discharge is perfectly natural.

      I mean what about oral sex? That's practically all discharge is, the fluid in the vagina.

    Wash more often, but don't use soap. Soap strips the epidermis of its natural sebum, so your oil glands go into hyperproduction to replenish the sebum and protect your skin. This causes acne break-outs and bacteria growth which can lead to BO pretty fast. Once your skin gets used to washing with only warm water (it'll take weeks or even months), you'll stop needing to shower as often as the natural acidic and oil balance of your skin will be restored. You'll smell better ALL the time, you might even lose your BO all together, and you won't break out or get dry skin. This is the way humans were meant to wash, not with soap or other surfactants that are really irritants. Just make sure you use warm and not hot water. Hot water can lead to dry skin, even in the summer. Try it!

    I'm living proof of how this works. When I started using harsh bodywash on my back, I got zits there and I never had before. When my hormones got messed up when I was 23, I started washing my armpits with soap, and I developed BO when I sweat, which I also never had. Like you, within a few minutes of showering, if I didn't put on deodorant and I smelled my underarms, they didn't smell clean. So I wonderered why when I didn't use soap as a teenager that my skin never broke out and I never had a body odour. Then I read up about sebum and surfactants and learned that your hair and skin do much better without soap. Within a week of not using soap and only using water, my skin was back to normal and I stopped needing to use deodorant. The only way I ever get mild BO now is if I'm sweating for hours, and even then one spray of axe covers it. For me, the whole BO and acne thing is in the past. Plus, it saves you some money xD

    If you have strong BO or bad acne, maybe this won't work as well and you'll need a mild face wash or a shampoo with sulphates (not recommended, but most shampoos have them) I only know my personal experience, so I think it'd work for others like me who tend not to smell anyway. But don't worry, your skin STILL feels clean after showering with just water. You don't feel oily, and your dead skin STILL sloughs off in the shower. Just don't shower too long (over 45 mins or so) or your skin layers will absorb water too deeply and will then dry out and get flaky (if you get dry skin). Keep experimenting until you find what works for you. Don't settle for what other people tell you should work, because everyone's different.

    Another thing is that all vulvas have a natural smell. I'm sure the same could be said for the Penis and it's balls. I don't really know since I don't have one...

    If all else fails, it wouldn't hurt to go see a doctor.

    Instead of taking a shower, have you ever sat down in the tub and soaked your whole body in the form of a bath?

    Do you have long pubic hair? Too much hair can block the thoroughness of a clean. If you trim it close that may help, but don't trim it all as the hair helps to defend those regions from infections.

    Try bathing with Eucalyptus and Tea Tree soap. Look into herbal medicine for plants that helps to detox the body/fight infections. Do you have a healthy diet?

    Don't douche. That might make it worst. Probably an infection or it could be a disorder such as trimethylaminuria. If it's an infection you can just get an anibiotic but if it is the something else it might be something you can't get rid of.

    Pheramonal scent is natural......there's a fine line as to what is acceptable and what isn't and it's also personal...to the smeller and the smelle!!!!!!
    If you're concerned about a possible yeast infection.....you won't do any harm by liberally smearing yourself (inside and out) with some natural greek yoghurt....(it's quite pleasant actually!!!!!..you could get someone to lick it off/out)....keep it on for about an hour....don't do this too often as you will upset the natural flora of your pleasure areas

    A vagina should be almost completely odorless if it's in good health.

  • howaminotmyself

    Do not douche! bad advice. Is it all the time or a recent change in odor. If it has changed then you should talk to your gyno. If it is always, then it is likely your diet. Eat more yogurt and avoid yeasty foods like bread and cut back on sugar, including fruit.

    Also, use panty liners and change them frequently.

    I doubt you have an infection but it's possible. I don't know if you're a girl or guy but I know both can be stinky sometimes. And everyone is different. Maybe you sweat more than other people down there if your a guy or maybe you have discharge if your a girl.

    Change what you eat like maybe you eat unhealthy food. And I don't think a 5 min shower will quite do it.
