Sex in MarriageSexual problems are common in many relationships. This section is for discussions about sexuality. Please limit discussions to those asking for help with a problem and those offering advice. Any other threads may be deleted.
My husband likes to go down on me a lot (and spontaneously too) so here are some things I do to makes sure I'm always 'fresh' and clean:
1. Rinse with warm water when you pee and after you've had sex
2. When I shower, I use baby soap (like Johnsons) there - be careful, though; even though it's baby soap, you DO NOT want to get soap right up there!
3. Do you shave / trim regularly? Also, if you have a fair amount of hair that you don't want to get rid of, you can use a baby shampoo to keep it clean.
4. Sometimes I put the tiniest amount of a perfume on the little strip of hair that I have down there (I'm not a fan of the 100% bald look!) He really enjoys this and he goes down on me multiple times in one session when i've done this.
One thing though - don't 'over wash' to compensate - it can make you sore and disturb the pH balance down there.
I understand that he may have hurt your feelings, but at least he cares enough about you (and wants to go down on you enough!) to tell you so that both of you can enjoy sex more
I've heard of some people using honey/natural food products down there to mask the taste/smell, but we're not really into that. The only thing we've used from the kitchen is ice..
I knew someone would post something like this I'm not here to talk about why or how it happened, just that there are MANY reasons why a woman would have a horrible smell.
But I was young and you don't feel them up there.
Yes, it's gross, but you clicked on the topic, which isn't pretty, is it.
I gotta agree with Amy Farah Fowler, "Life would be so much easier (for you) if you had external plumbing."
I really need to get back to the "off topic" forums
but even men who have penis issues can't see WHY they have those issues. The tubes are still inside. I really don't get your point.
The OP smells bad, or so she's been told. There are many reasons this could happen.
Another reason is maybe the people aren't compatible. I swear, I've been with men who just have an odd body smell and I just could never get used to it. The men whom I had long relationships had pleasant smells (to me).
If you can't get to a doc, there are tests you can buy at the drug store that are easy to use and will tell you if it's an infection. I have used them in my past when a doc just wasn't happening.
Don't douche until you are sure you do not have a bacterial infection. That is a mistake a lot of women make. It forces the bacteria further up and makes the infection much worse. You don't want to give yourself a case of PID.
Once you are sure you don't have it, you can try the vinegar and water route.
I was told recently my scent is really strong. It really hurt my feelings. What can I do about it. I am a very natural person and I am only looking for natural home options.
No home remedies with this one. Get yourself thoroughly checked out. My wife had a smell. Long story short she had an infection in her womb caused by her coil that required a hysterectomy. Don’t delay. Get it checked out.

And I totally agree with you on this. I also want to add that douching every once in a while is fine. But, not all the time. Douching will flush out the GOOD bacteria growth that your supposed to have up there....
I don't know if you will relate to this, because you are a guy, and I've personally never had it happen, but it's kind of like popping a batch of cookies in the oven.
You go get busy doing something else, and before you know it your eyes are watering, the kitchen is full of black smoke, the fire alarm is going off, and you open the oven door to find twelve crispy discs you can use as hockey pucks.
Kind of like that.
OP, I would not use any kind of anything until you get checked by a doctor. If there is infection you could easily make it worse.
Okay, not to be funny...well, sometimes I can't help it. BUT, if you try to put a replacement in, wouldn't you have some.....resistance?
Don't EVER try to be funny with me. I can't stand people who crack jokes. They suk.
No seriously!! I mean, if I was a girl and I already had one up in there and forgot about it, well I'm sure you don't forget that your on your peroid. I would be like,
"Huh, I can't really get this thing too far up my....who-hah."
I guess so, OH another thing that can cause a rank oder is swollen Bartholin Glands. Usually associated with a cyst. The symptoms are usually swollen labia, fever,a rank discharge and painful.
But, if your not having the majority of these symptoms, then you probably don't have it.
I've heard of some people using honey/natural food products down there to mask the taste/smell, but we're not really into that. The only thing we've used from the kitchen is ice..
Ice...good! Anything with sugar in it...bad! Sugar in the vajayjay can lead to a yeast infection, so it's best to stay away from things like honey and whipped cream.
OP, go to the gyno and make sure you don't have some kind of infection. Usually you have other symptoms if you have an infection - itching or burning or pain or discharge of some kind - but even if you have no symptoms, it's better to put your mind at ease and make sure.
After that, you really just need to stay clean - bathe regularly and wash up before sex. Perfumes and soaps and scents up there are not a good idea. Douching frequently is not a good idea, for the reasons stated above.
Every woman has a scent. As long as you are clean and healthy, your scent is natural. Don't let this one comment make you start feeling self-conscious about your scent or make you feel like you have to do all kinds of things to change your scent.
