Okay welll... 13/f and i am getting a white discharge in my underwear and it does not smell good at all. I have started my period so its nothing like that i mean it might involve it but its not warning me or anything. Never have been sexually active either so i dont know how to clean better down there and have tht stuff stop coming out. also. how are you and what are u supposed to be cleaning with down in tht region?Does it help to shave?
Okay.. :)
Lemme tell you this from a person who's been in your shoes before & I know everything that you're going through! First of all, shaving can help for bad odor, but coming from what you're saying you have something called "Bacterial Vaginosis." I was in the same position you were for like three years because I didn't work up the courage to tell my mother. I'm not sexually active & I've never been touched down there before, so I didn't know exactly where it came from. About a month ago I went to a gynaeocologist & she told me that I had BV and I had to take these pills called Flagyl (prescribed) Cleaning down there will make things worse! Bubbles baths are also a BIG no no. Because of the scents and stuff like that. Scented pads/tampons can also make things worse. Don't feel scared because a lot of teenagers like yourself just get BV randomly -- they just have a lot of bacteria down below then other girls. You need to tell your mother, there is nothing over-the-counter that can fully get rid of your issue. There's summers eve which gets rid of bacteria on the outside of your vagina, but doesn't get rid of the ones inside!! But, you really do need to tell your mother ASAP before things get worse.
Here's a website that tells you all the DOs & DONTs. =] & Just gives you a summary of what BV is!

Good luck!
Edit:: For the person exactly above me, not only is your answer wrong -- but how is wearing a light pad stopping the smell? It might stop the smell from you smelling but it'll ALWAYS be there. You're obviously not going through bullshit if you're just wearing a pad- you're just hiding it.
(Rating: 5) i would deifnantly rate u 100% higher but we can only go up to a "5" you are the best yet. i love u!!
