Why does it smell that way?!
Question: Why does it smell that way.?
Ok, so. This is a personal question so...don't be rude.
I am 18 and have never had any "feminine problems"...but I started smelling this kind of sickly sweet kind of oder a couple of days ago and I had NO idea where it was coming from...then I realized when I was getting in the shower tonight that it was coming from my, uh, va-j-j...it doesn't itch, doesn't hurt, nothing like that. But there's just this smell and it's weird cause normally it's very mild. I don't know why and I'm getting all nervous cause I don't know if anything is wrong.
I'm a virgin by the way, don't know if that helps.
Anyway, please help me figure this out, ladies!Health Question & Answer

Just be glad it's sweet and not fishy ! XD Sorry I had too... anyway, I have varying smells sometimes... I think it might depend on your menstrual cycle, hygiene, and even sometimes what you eat. I wouldn't be too worried about it, I haven't heard of sweet smell being bad down there...Health Question & Answer
It's likely related to your cycle. If you're mid-cycle, and ovulating, you may have some additional discharge and that can give you a little bit of odor. If your period is about to start, you may notice a little odor.
