Smell?

Question:

Okay I know this is probably a dumb question but here it goes... I don't know how I'm supposed to smell down there. Like I can smell myself sometimes when I"m in shorts or a skirt but I don't know if it stinks. Like my underwear smell like it obviously and I've smelled it to see if it was normal but I don't think it smells too bad but I still don't know if it's normal. Also it's hard for me to talk to my mom about these sort of things. My discharge is a little yellowish at times too. Like it looks yellow when it dries on my undies, but when it's fresh it's generally clear to a milky white. Please help me!

Hey i have that same proplem / yes it is normal many people have it and it is different for everyone it may be mild, sweaty smell for one person or a heavy, musky scent for another. But if the odor is fishy and accompanied by a white discharge or iching, it could be a sign of bacterial vaginosis(BV), an overgrowth of the heathly bacteria present in te vagina. It is treatable with antibiotics so see your doctor for more info.

you need to see a GYN doc, no it shouldn't smell at all.

Um i dont really know...lol..but im curious too

Same 4 me. Every1 told me to go to the g doctor and get an over the counter thing at the drugstore

I've often wondered the same things, so don't feel stupid. It's like, if you ask and it's not normal you just called yourself out....
I don't know if it's normal, but I have the same things happen. I have noticed it after/before a period, and after sex. My fiance says I smell great ( yeah, maybe too much info there...I was so bashful about that too). So maybe you are fine...I do know that when you can smell yourself sometimes you think others might be able to and that can feel embarrasing....Sorry, I probably haven't helped much. If it's itchy down there go to a doc...and I mean obviously itchy..not due to undies or pubic hair.
To the guys, you are not a female so how would you know what is normal for us? YES there is a "smell" of some kind. It's part of nature...and we generally stay a little moist too. It is not supposed to smell bad or fishy though.

are you a whore? that could explain most of the discharge. you should use a mixture of bleach and water and a syringe and spray it up there to kill the bacteria.

Sweetie, it sounds like you are perfectly normal. :)
Each woman has her own natural scent and discharge can come in different colors (from clear to milky white) depending on the time of the month. This too is NORMAL and healthy. What you should be concerned about is if your discharge smells fishy or like something rotten. This is an infection and you will need to get checked out ASAP.
Hope this helps.

That's normal but I know that a shower head that has a hose (cost about $10 from Wal-mart) to it is great it really helps to get in all the little places that you can't clean with your wash cloth. Also another thing that helps is the summer eve's feminine wash works great and it won't dry you out don't there. And another thing that helps is the scented panty liners. But it is normal to have a smell.So the women out there who says that they don't have any smell at all is telling a lie.

c your doctor!!

Yes, it's normal. You should buy some pantiliners from the store and wear them every day. That will protect your panties and control the smell.
And they have sanitary refreshening wipes to use during the day if you smell anything. (These are right by the pantyliners in the store.)
