has anybody ever used summer's eve feminine wash and have any negative or positive comments about it? i've recently noticed that my vagina smells really different than it used to -- like, worse. i've been having a lot of gyno visits and actually had minor surgery down there about a week ago, so i think the aftereffects of that is causing it; i don't think i have an infection because besides a little bit of discharge (which i was told would be normal) i don't have any other symptoms. no pain or itching or anything. plus, i'm assuming my gynecologist would have told me if he noticed anything strange going on while he was in there just recently ;)

i just kinda wanna have some sexy time with my boyfriend, but i'm self-conscious about this new icky smell and want it to go away. i thought the *old* smell was bad enough . . . now i want it back. i use playtex feminine wipes about once a day, but they don't seem to be making much of a difference. do any of the summer's eve products help?

thanks, xx

edited to add: so many people had such great advice on this post, i don't think i could thank you all enough! the consensus seems to be that feminine "hygiene products are neither beneficial nor productive. i'll keep this mind and just talk to my doctor again if the problem persists -- or maybe i shouldn't even be looking at it as a problem. thank you all so much

i know what you mean! i once by mistake got the scented pad version of the ones i normally use and it was just BAD!

i don't get why society wants us to smell like berries and "ocean air" and shit like that. What is wrong with a vagina/vulva smelling like a vagina/vulva?
