Self conscious about my odor down there
I feel so strange posting about this hence why I made it anonymous..
It's been something that's bothered me for along time. I have 1 sexual partner and have for 6 years. As long as I can remember I've been self conscious about the odour my nether regions produce. I wash accordingly, no scented soaps. I don't have any infections or anything.. WHAT DO I DO?? HELP!?
I've been reading about boric acid suppositories? Anyone use them? Maybe my underwear? They're definitely not all cotton. Any ideas would be helpful!

Vaginas should have a musky odor. Anything further should be addressed with your doctor. I totally get the anxiety about it but I'm sure if you asked your partner they don't even notice or care. I do know that staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet with less red meat can help but really I would focus on accepting your natural scent.
I use a vagisil wash. It can help your ph balance. If you are truly concerned, you can ask your doctor and/or get a referral for a gynecologist.
Drinking pineapple juice regularly might help with this.

I wonder if there's anything malodourous or if you're just impacted by society constantly telling women they stink. Maybe see a doctor if you're really concerned. Sorry. No other thoughts.
