Q: Yep, I got a question about staying fresh... down there. How embarrassing right??! But seriously, I need your help. Anything at all you know will help.

23 female btw.

So... even after I shower or clean myself up down there, by the end of the day I just dont smell fresh anymore. Its not a terrible smell but it's not good and it is obvious.

I hate that when I'm around my friends... or anyone really...and I have to just sit there with my legs as close together as possible and its not very fun when my friends wanna goof off or dance or something and I cant because Ill have to open my legs. But the smell usually seeps through my jeans, shorts, sweats... whatever I am wearing.

I know its gross. Please stay with me.

I change my panties all the time but it doesn't help either. I'm skinny (115pounds)so I know thats not an issue. I dont have the gap between my thighs tho... could that be a problem?

I get wet really, really easy. Which is probably a big part of the problem... Ive tried to wear panty liners or tampons so that it catches everything and it will work occasionally... but still not permanently.

I don't have periods becuase I have a mirena. Could the mirena have anything to do with this?

I sweat a lot. Well I mean, I dont handle heat well. I am generally always cold so if I get warm even a little bit I tend to sweat... is that a huge factor? But how do you fix sweating?

Its also not just my area. My whole body seems to have a natural unpretty odor. How can I just smell good?

Please help. I know its gross but thats why I need help!!!
It may just be sweat. This little trick saved my life at work, because it's always like a billion degrees there.

Get some medicated powder and a powder puff. After you shower and dry off a little, poof some on wherever you sweat. Just don't get it inside of you. Under the boobs, in the buttcrack, on the crotch... It absorbs sweat and keeps you smelling fresh.

Wonderful! thank you so much!!

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
