Embarrassing question alert:

I have noticed that I have rather prominent aromas that emanate from my nether-regions. Sometimes (likely depending on my cycle) it's worse than other times, but I always feel like I smell down there. Is it any way possible that I'm the only one that notices this odor? Or do you think everyone that is within arms reach can smell it, too?

If you are familiar with this odor issue, what do you do to curb it? It's driving me nuts!

Uhhh...my odours don't bother me. It's other people's that might, but my nose ignores it usually, shuts down or something.

Practically speaking I'm with Optimize, my odors don't bother me. If it is a concern may I suggest staying away from those vjayjay sprays, they can irritate, then you've got more problems. I say if it is truly an issue for you and you're not comfy then some baby wipes are handy to carry with you in a plastic in your purse. During menstruation, it may be that your nose is more sensitive during those days. Could you change more often or again use the wipes when you do change.
Hope this helps you out, and take care.
Jade

I have known of females who detect odors that have a bacterial infection..it's a common problem for some people, especially if they are an older lady..You need to see a doc for testing and meds..Hope this helps you.....♥

I was going to suggest just getting checked out and if you are all good your dr. might have some suggestions, because a lot of that crap they advertise can be more irritating than anything else. I do hope you get something figured out so you can be more comfortable.

Optimize, that leads me to another question - can others smell my odor?

Jade - never thought about how my sniffer might be more sensitive during that time of the month, interesting! My skin is super sensitive, so I only use unscented body stuff all around, and do avoid sprays.

Squaw and Sorta - I have brought up with numerous doctors, and they all tell me nothing is wrong. All my bacteria levels (or whatever) come back normal. Except it does drive me nuts cause there is an odor and it is not pleasant or comfortable!

Sometimes I hate being a girl!

I think that baby wipes are dangerous because they do not have the right PH.

to the best of my knowledge, the only safe product on the US market is this:
