Many women are paranoid about how they smell “down there” - you are not alone in this matter! The truth is that every woman has her own specific scent, and if you have a sexual partner, then he probably does not mind it. At the same time, if you are feeling a little insecure, then it doesn't hurt to make sure you follow all the basics of cleaning your vagina. You deserve to feel clean and confident.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Daily washes

  1. 1 Lather a loofah with mild natural soap and water. Avoid using soaps with heavy odors that can irritate the delicate skin around your vagina.
  2. 2 Clean the folds around the clitoris. Use your fingers to move the vulva aside. Gently rub the skin on both sides of the clitoris with a washcloth.
  3. 3 Wipe your vulva and vaginal opening. Also sweep across the bikini line.
  4. 4 Also wipe your crotch. The perineum is the area between the vagina and the anus.
  5. 5 Finally, wash the anal area. Do not touch the vaginal area with the washcloth after you have washed the anus. This way, you will know not to bring rectal germs to the vaginal area. These germs can lead to urinary tract infections.
  6. 6 Wash your vagina at least once a day. After sex, you may want to wash yourself again if you are worried about combining your body odor with sperm odor.

Method 2 of 2: Smelling Fresh as Always

  1. 1 Trim, pluck, or shave your pubic hair. Thick pubic hair can cause sweat, which will cause some odor problems.
  2. 2 Keep it clean during your period. Change your pad or swab frequently, according to the directions on the package. If you're worried about odor during your period, you can wash yourself 2-3 times a day.
  3. 3 Wear cotton underwear. Breathable fabric helps prevent vaginal odor.
  4. 4 Use reusable sanitary pads. ... The thought of reusing and washing your pads may seem strange at first, but cotton allows your vagina to breathe as it soaks up secretions. If you like the feel of use, then you can switch to reusable pads or menstrual cups.
  5. 5 Take a shower as a foreplay. Are you worried your partner won't like your scent? Take a sexy shower or erotic bath before sex. Let your partner wash your vagina. Who knows? It might be fun for both of you.

Tips

  • Be careful when washing your vagina, this is not a race. Do not hurry. Take your time because you don't want to irritate your skin.
  • If you are concerned about a persistent, strong odor in the vaginal area, visit your gynecologist. Your gynecologist will check you for infection and, if necessary, prescribe treatment. You can also talk to your gynecologist if you are concerned about smell and cleanliness.
  • Be careful! This is a very delicate area. You don't want to cut yourself or get an infection.
  • Always wipe from front to back to prevent E. coli and other bacteria from entering the vagina.
  • To prevent odor, make sure you wipe the area around your clitoris with toilet paper after you urinate. Urine and vaginal discharge can collect in this area and give you this feeling of staleness.
  • You cannot use perfume in this area!
  • The vagina should not smell like baby powder or wildflowers. If you are very worried about how you smell, you can talk to your partner about it. Surely, you will discover that everything is in order. And if he doesn't like your clean scent, you may need a new partner.

Warnings

  • Do not wash the inside of your vagina. You don't want to upset the pH balance of your vaginal flora. Also, all vaginal secretions should not be flushed off, as they are your vagina's natural cleansing mechanism.
  • Avoid showers and feminine deodorants. Showering can disrupt your vagina's natural bacterial balance. Also, showers and women's deodorants can irritate the delicate skin of your vagina.
