Odour issues (first post, I cannot believe I'm typing this).

Okay, so for the last few years, only off for short periods of time, I've had vag odours that I cannot stand;  I don't stand too close to people sometimes for fear that they might smell something weird and figure it out. My discharge seems normal, and I'm on Diane 35 for my skin; I'm not sexually active. I've only had my doctor look down there once because I thought I had a sore (I didn't) and he didn't think anything was abnormal.

I'm still too shy to describe it (I will if you ask - erk) but do any of you have a vag odour you dislike? I really don't think I have a yeast infection, but maybe you guys have better insight. Do you know of any way to minimize vag odour?

totally within normal range of vag scent. if it were fishy or bready/yeasty smelling or differently textured/colored it would be cause for concern but what you described is perfectly normal.

Yes! Sometimes my "period smell" is gag-worthy. That's why I always giggle when the boyfriend suggests trying period sex. He doesn't know that there's a very valid reason I don't do it!
