Just in case that the odor of concern comes primarily from your private area, I will say this:
there are some odors that are normal and healthy. And there are others that are not.
Periods can smell bad. Blood when it comes into contact with oxygen will begin to smell, blood otherwise doesn't have a bad odor.
Your vagina has a natural cleansing process that takes care of itself and will clean out any bad bacteria with the clear to milky discharge you get between periods. This cleansing is done by a good bacteria. Girls who use soaps, douches and other personal hygeine products are actually killing the good bacteria so the bad ones have a chance to take over. This is one of the most common causes for vaginosis which causes a foul rotting fish odor. If thats whats going on, you need to go see a doctor to get anti biotics. It won't go away on its own.

There are a number of different reasons for body odor. The two most popular reasons have nothing to do with hygiene.
One of the biggest reasons for body odor are caused by the foods we eat. Exactly what foods differ from person to person but are generally related to heavy spices and garlic. If you are of an ethnic group whose diet is filled with heavy amounts of spicy food this could be the problem.
The other reason is one of a medical condition. I'm not a doctor and I'm not sure exactly how to explain this to you. What I will say and suggest is that you visit your family doctor. Your doctor knows your physiology best. He or she also knows your ethnic background. Based on these factors and after a proper medical examination the doctor can offer suggestions on how to overcome your problem.
If it is a medical problem there are treatments that can be offered and you will be referred to a specialist for treatment.
In short it is not your hygiene that is the problem. You are not the only one to have a problem like this. The best solution for this problem will come from a medical professional and not good intentioned advisers such as those on this site.
