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 think I would investigate as to why!
Again, i say, when it's your last one, you can forget when there are so many other things to worry about!! Like dates and beer and money and shopping. Again, I was young
I don't use them anymore either. The chemicals on the cotton react with my uterus and cause MONSTEROUS cramps.
If you've got a strong scent that is not caused by gynecological issues or hygiene issues, then consider dietary changes. Cut down on dairy, sugar, and bread. Be wary of asparagus and fish and cruciferous vegetables. If you know you're going to be engaging in oral sex (being the recipient), then for that day and much of the day before, drink natural pineapple juice; this is said to make women taste sweeter, but it may not work for all women.
Additionally, check to see if your mucous membranes are compromised in some way (vitamins, allergies, supplements, dietary sensitivities) and remedy that situation; many times, decongestants can mess with the bodily fluids in ways one doesn't anticipate.
Here's another weird one. You may be leaving too much detergent residue on your underpants and it my be causing a funky imbalance down there. When you wash your undergarments, always give them one additional rinse because sometimes detergent is the culprit.
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.
THIS is SO true!
PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) would not have itching or burning...just pelvic pain.
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.
I concur with the others that you should see a doc first to rule out any kind of infection.
Is this something that you also notice as well?
Otherwise, were you told this in conjunction with something sexual - such as your SO not wanting to perform oral sex because of it?
If there's nothing medically wrong, and you are hygienic, then it may just be your partner and not you - anything from them having an over-sensitive sense of smell to simply not wanting to be 'down there'.
Not to be too unsympathetic but a good shower or bath right before never hurt. I personally like the taste of my wife "natural" (within reason). An hour or two of the natural pheromones will drive me nuts, but after a workout, not so much.
I don't get to go there very often but never thought of a sweaty beaver.. hmm. May have to try that sometime.
Where do I go from here. . . In the last few posts, pineapple juice was mentioned. I gotta agree there.
Stay away from coffee at least a few days before as that makes it taste bitter. (these go for both men and women)
And the shower before. . .also agree. I always take one before (usually alone) AND after with my wife. Its all about having enough respect to treat your wife with as much love and making every encounter as special as the first time.
On top of all that, men, eat a stalk of celery on thursday to prepare for the weekend. (this is a tip given by adult film star Peter North. You know why, and dont pretend you dont.) It works and is pretty impressive.

I can not live without showering when I get up in the morning or before I go to bed. Sometimes after working out in the yard or if I go to someones house or ride in a vehicle where the owner smokes or has a pet. I get home and immediately get out of my clothes, put them in the wash and jump in the shower.
Its not uncommon for me to shower 3 times a day during the summer. If you think thats OCD, you should see where I have toothbrushes stashed.

After you insert it, the string can get wrapped around the tampon. Also, tampons aren't huge. Certain tampons such as those made for "light" days aren't that big at all.
@annie2, are you drinking enough water?
most of my problems "down there" are solved by increasing my water intake.
also, try wiping yourself clean with tissue every time you pee.
If you mom never told you, always wipe front to back. This is important as you reduce the chance of transferring bad bacteria from you butt to your vagina.
