Answers:
A healthy vagina shouldn't smell gross. Yes, it'll have a musky smell, but it should never be offensive. If it is, you need to make sure that you're eating a healthy diet, cleaning yourself thoroughly (washing your lips with a mild soap and drying thoroughly, no douching or cleaning inside your hole, it'll clean itself out) and wearing cotton underwear so you don't trap sweat and your vagina should breath... Each person has a different smell, some are sweet, some are more musky, but its not bad. Health Question & Answer

You may not like the smell of your vagina, but it should not smell "gross". It's a warm moist place, bacteria love it down there. If it smells too bad, you may have a minor infection. Vaginitis or yeast. also eating onions or garlic can alter our fluid smells. Sweat smells gross, as well as urine, and have you ever smelled a guys balls after being in jeans all day.? Anyway wipe yourself well after using the bathroom and even take another sheet of paper to wipe where your legs and vagina come together. If that doesn't help see a doctor just to make sure. You might just be being too self conscious! The average smelling vagina doesn't seem to bother men. After all, they are the ones supposed to be attracted to the scent anyway.Health Question & Answer

The smell is actually dependent on the bacteria that grow there and feed off of your nonsmelling sweat. Seriously, sweat does not smell, but he by-products bacteria make off of feeding off the sweat does. Therefore, you can blame the smell on the bacteria!! Health Question & Answer

I agree with chrystal... everyone has a different smell...if your's is HORRIBLE you might also have a yeast infection. but its pretty normal to have an odor down there i mean, there's folds of skin that get wet and humid from sweat and hormones.. its gonna smell somewhat...lolHealth Question & Answer
