Since giving birth (I’m now 5 months pp) I have noticed an off smell down there. Never had any problems pre or during pregnancy. Everything looks normal to me down there (I had a c-section). Haven’t had the confidence to have sex as I’m worried my partner will be put off! What are you ladies doing to keep fresh please!?

Fenugreek tea, spinach smoothie and cranberry supplements changed my life post c-section

Use sea salt and warm water to wash

Chamomile tea as wash or in baths (no female washes that just throws off ph in general, no bath bombs, bath scents) and cranberry juice/tablets whatever you prefer and more greens in your diet (maybe just need gut clean)

Fruits & water vagina self cleans

It could be diet and or just sweat/bacterial related. Get checked by your GP first to make sure there’s no infections or anything like that down there. Then you can look towards your diet or maybe what you’re using to wash with? And air it out after you shower! Use talc powder in your creases! You can also crouch over a basin of hot steamy water mixed with herbs to steam clean down there x

Also cotton underwear helps the general lady area to stay fresh as the material is more breathable. Small things can make a big difference
