    Maybe you've got a bacterial infection.

      Male or female would suit the question better. Also it sounds a bit more formal this way.

        IIN 86s all formalities. But I appreciate you're way of thinking. Dudes are exteriors. They should smell clean until sweating. Chicks, we all have a musty odor. I drank lemonade with my vodka for a bit. My girl was SOUR. Switched to pineapple juice and now she's all good. I knew a young lady who would "exfoliate" her bits and she stank to high hell. Don't over think it. Just watch your diet and clean when you need to! If things persist see your OB. Also be careful with over cleaning. It can make things worse. Ya cookie should be able to handle itself!

    If it’s a fishy smell coming from down there then you’re likely to have a bacterial infection where bad bacteria outnumbers the good bacteria so throws your PH off balance. The culprit is called Bacterial Vaginosis or BV. Go to the doctors and they’ll do a test & if it’s positive, you’ll be given
    antibiotics. The downside is that it can come back once the antibiotics have finished. Apparently, BV is common but this doesn’t mean that you’re unclean, it’s just an inbalance of bacteria down there.

    If your female and you only take showers I highly suggest taking a bath relaxing and letting the water flow inside you and then pushed it out repeatedly can valves can help them clear out would be Eastern urinary tract infections if it still smell bad then take cranberry tablets cranberry juice and cranberry tablets can help clear urinary tract infection if you're a guy I don't know. Also wipe front to back never wipe back to front

      Cranberry juice is good for urinary tract infections, which don't usually cause any smell. Baths are not good for vaginal infections because any bacteria could be in the water.

      You're right about how to wipe though.

        It seems that if you don't rinse off all soap residue,it can make you smell worse than before you jump in.

      This is idiotic to think sucking water up the vag is good for a vagina. No one should ever take your advice @ "Irisprism". Relaxing in the bath is good and proper hygiene is also good. Talk to your doctor you may have a infection make or female.

    Try buying soaps only for private areas. Regular soaps can iritate you down there and cause a bad smell.

    It is possible your hormones are reacting to the soap you use. As a lady myself, I NEVER use bar soap on my cookie. Try some different feminine wash down there (even try shampoo) and remember to dry off really well. If this has been happening daily since puberty, go see your OBGYN and get a pap test ASAP. Good luck honey. You'll be okay!!

      Feminine washes are very bad for you, please don't use them.

      You just clean it with water. If you ever have a problem go to the doctor and they will give you appropriate medicine.

      Cookie????? No healthy woman needs feminine washes: if ordinary plain soap is a problem, water is enough, and if OP is still concerned she should see her doctor.

      By smelling bad do you mean fishy? If so yeast infection. If metallic lay off the meat and protein. Anything after that I would take note what was your previous scent before, and if anything changed. Obviously time is a major factor as well.

        Yeast infections smell yeasty, not fishy, that's a different condition altogether which needs medical treatment.

        Metallic? Surely that's the period smell and how on earth could meat & protein change that?

        OP needs to see a doctor.

          In access of proteins causes an hike in iron leading to secretions taking on an metallic taste. She didn't describe the scent so I just listed the possible causes.

      Bath everyday. Its hard to smell good after one shower. Dont ever skip a day and scrub good.

        Ridiculous advice: unless there's some sort of medical condition or a woman is wearing lots of tight synthetic clothing one shower a day is plenty. As for scrubbing ... the mind boggles.

        Ordinary washing without scented soaps or "feminine washes" is enough unless she has a medical condition, in which case she should see a doctor

          I said "bath everyday". I didnt mean to suggest more than one shower daily. Ive been around girls that shower every 2 days though and their booty smell lingers on anything that touches it.
