what makes vaginas smell?

Question:

Answers:
Infection, either fungal or bacterial. Now here's the real kicker . if a woman has had the infection for a very long time, she may not be aware of the odor.

And, who wants to go through life stinking? So, the way to solve your problem (being yucked out by the odor) is to help her solve her problem. Let her know. BUT DO IT NICELY. BE KIND ABOUT IT BECAUSE SOME DAY YOU MIGHT STINK!

And, I'm sure you would rather someone said "Are you feeling ok? Because there is an odor about you that smells like it might be an infection, and I just wanted to make sure that you're ok.", rather than the alternative that I'm sure many readers are not so tactfully crafting.

Any genital area will have a specific scent because of the skin/glands that are specific to that area.

No vagina should ever stink. If it does stink, that person is probably douching..which washes away natural secretions that keep the vagina health.and NOT stinky.

The eggs.

Idiots like you.

bacteria

Bacteria is the culprit. Just like armpits. They smell because of bacteria. Actually, bacteria feces to be exact. In the case of both, it is good bacteria, because there are good and bad bacterias, in case you didn't know.

EWWW GROSS! but the answer is sweat, blood, and other secretions. any girl can/will have body odor if she does not clean properly. i have found that some women just dont know the right way to clean themselves. there are a lot of folds and crevaces down there and if you dont lift and spread them to clean in between odor is what you get. stop messing with those nasty females lol.

Sweat, bacteria infections, sometimes bad yeast infections, and not washing.

It naturally happens to the best of us, at some point! And dont think MEN are EXCLUDED their stuff can get stinky too.
We all need to practice good hygene and wash daily, and preferrably before and after intercourse.{men and women}
Keepin' It Real !

Important question : it's a dark area where so many people are ignorant.
Young, virginal vaginas usually have a delicious and delightful smell, if kept reasonably clean. The more lovers a woman has, without condom, the less good will be the scent. This is because every man has bacteria of one kind or another on or in his penis and/or sperm and, over time, these will attack or infect or otherwise affect the purity of the little glands that produce the lubricating liquid in the vagina that used to smell so nice, until it doesn't anymore. Sad, but true : what can one expect, after all? It doesn't need gynacological training to figure it out.

Personal hygene and diet.
The type of foods she eats can affect the smell. Personal hygene should be obvious.
