Your Vag!na should not smell bad. This you do not just for yourself, but also for your partner. Many women and girls feel paran0id about how they smell “down there” — you are not alone!
The truth is, every female has her own signature scent, and if you have a S3xual partner, your partner probably doesn’t mind it a bit. At the same time, if you’re feeling a little insecure, then it won’t hurt to make sure that you’re covering all of the bases when you wash your Vag!na. You deserve to feel clean and confident.
Method 1 of 2: Daily Washing Routine 1. Lather up a washcloth with some mild natural soap and water. Avoid using soaps with heavy perfumes, which may irritate the sensitive skin around your Vag!na.
2. Clean the folds around your Cl1t0ris. Use your fingers to pull your Lab!a away from your Cl1t0ris. Gently scrub the skin on both sides of your Cl1t0ris with the washcloth.
3. Wash your vu’lva and your Vag!nal opening. Also, scrub around your bikini line.
4. Scrub your peri’neum. The peri’neum is the area between your Vag!na and your Anu$.
5. Wash your Ana! area last. Keep your washcloth from touching your Vag!nal area after you’ve washed your Anu$. Doing this will ensure that you don’t drag rec’tal germs toward your Vag!nal area. These germs can cause you to get ur1nary tract infections.
6. Wash your Vag!na at least once per day. If you have S3x, you may want to wash it a second time to feel fresh and clean, although washing after S3x will not prevent preg-nancy on its own.
Method 2 of 2: Keeping Yourself Smelling Fresh 1. Trim, wax or shave your pub1c hair. Thick pub1c hair can cause you to sweat down below, which may make you have some issues with odor.
2. Stay clean during your period. Change your p’ad or your tamp0n frequently, according to the directions on the package. If you’re worried about how you smell when you’re having your peri0d, you can wash your Vag!na 2 or 3 times a day.
4. Try a reusable panty-liner.[3] The idea of reusing and washing your panty-liners may seem strange at first, but the cotton will help your Vag!na to breathe while absorbing any excess discharge. If you like the way they make you feel, you can graduate to reusable cotton mens’trual pads or mens’trual cups.
5. Bath as part of your f0replay. So are you worried that your partner won’t like your scent? Take a shower or a steamy bath before you have S3x. Let your partner wash your Vag!na for you. Who knows? It might lead to all kinds of fun.
Tips • If you’re concerned about a persistent, strong odor in your Vag!nal area, visit your gynec0logist. Your gynec0logist can test you for an infection and can prescribe an appropriate medication or topical cream if you need one. You can also talk to your gynec0logist if you’re worried about odor and cleanliness.
To prevent odor, make sure that you wipe the area around your Cl1t0ris with toilet tissue every time you urinate. Urine and Vag!nal secretions can accumulate in this area and can give you that not-so-fresh feeling.
• Heavy perfume is a no-go!
• Vag!nas aren’t meant to smell like baby powder or fields of flowers. If you’re really worried about how you smell, it’s okay to talk to your partner about it. You’ll probably find out that everything is fine. And if your clean scent is a turnoff, maybe you need a new partner.
• Wash with clean water every time you go to the bathroom.
• Use baby powder in the morning and at night. It helps prevent sweating in your Vag!nal area.
• Always wipe front to back to prevent bacteria from getting into your Vag!na.
• Hey, be gentle! It’s a very fragile area and you don’t want to get a cut or an infection.
• Be careful when washing your Vag!na, it’s not a race. Don’t rush. Take your time because you don’t want to irritate your skin.
• If you really think your Vag!na is sick, then call a doctor so they can tell you if it is sick or not.
Warnings • Avoid washing inside your Vag!na. You don’t want to upset the pH balance of your Vag!nal walls.
• Also, you don’t want to wash away all of your Vag!nal secretions because they are nature’s cleaning mechanism for your Vag!na.
• Skip d0uches and feminine deodorant sprays. D0uches can upset the natural bacterial balance in your Vag!na. Also, both douches and feminine sprays can irritate the sensitive skin in your Vag!nal area.
