Take a shower and if it dosn't go away then it could be a yeast infection. If so, Go to the doctors or use vagasil.

It could be an infection. I'd say talk to a doctor about it...maybe you need antibiotics or something. I'm not sure of ways to hide or conceal...i'd go straight to a doctor.

Okay, well stop TOTALLY freaking out. This is a common for young women. You are right that certain foods can effect "the smell" down there, but not so much that it's unbarable and other people may be able to smell it also.
Here are some things to consider:not in any specific order
1.try using the thin pads/panty liners that absorb odor (found in the feminine isle)-See if that takes care of the problem
2. make sure you rinse or wash down there when you are in the show
3. wear cotton crotch underwear or thong or w/e because other materials sometimes irratate and cause issues down there
--Ask yourself these questions--
-how long has the odor been overly apparent?
-have i had this problem before
-did i just use a tampon for the first time recently
-is it burning down there when i pee?
-could i have a urinary tract infection or yeast infection?? if so you need to either tell your mom so that she can tell you what she thinks is best or see a doctor (usually they give you these hot glue gun looking glue stick to slide up your "yeah" (just like you would a tampon) or they may give you some type of antibiotic..if you dont feel comfortable going to a doctor you can go to the drug store and get some over the counter medicine the brand is AZO and it comes in various forms.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck and don't worry! :)

at night wash it really good and when you wake up in the morning wash it again... just that area and then go to a drug store and purchase this stuff called summers eve feminine body spray or something like that it conseals the odor and keeps it from smelling really disgusting. hope i helped!

Yeast infections do not normally smell, they burn and itch first. You probably have vaginitis, which is just a chemical imbalance, or you need to wash a bit better. You can also get strange odors as a result of puberty and hormonal changes. I recommend a doctor.

Summer's Eve Douche, ;-) ;-)
Also maybe its due to your period, some girls have a fishy smell so bad that it can be smelt a mile away.
Or maybe you sleep around too much and got yourself infected.

its normal, and it would help to bathe every morning.

It depends how strong the smell is. It's natural to have a scent, but if it's a particuarly strong or overpowering smell, this may be a sign of either poor hygeine or an infection. Allisonmarie has already given sensible advice about keeping clean, so I won't rehash it. I will say don't worry too much - many girls are self-concious about how they smell, but it probably isn't anywhere near as noticeable as you think it is. Go to a doctor if you are concerned, or if the smell is accompanied by an unusual discharge, but otherwise I'd say just concentrate on keeping clean and healthy down there and the smell should go away.

Yes, food can affect your vagina - but more how it tastes as opposed to smells. There are some basic steps that you, meat eater or not, should take to ensure your vagina is happy and fresh:
First, wash it daily with a non-scented soap, such as Johnson's baby soap. Make sure to get in all the crevices - they can harbour bacteria and that can lead to smells.
Next, wear vagina-friendly cotton panties. They won't allow sweat to build up as much as, say, silk or satin. Pantyhose also aren't the most friendly thing for non-smelling vaginas.
Third, if you already do these things daily and have this problem anyway, head over to a gyno. Strong smelling vagina is not normal - uninformed people will say vagina is 'supposed' to smell like fish, but this is patently untrue. A person with good hygiene WILL NOT smell strongly. Odour could be a sign of an infection. Only a gyno can diagnose you correctly.
A final note: Using sprays/perfume to 'hide' the smell won't help you. It could irritate your skin/vagina and lead to further problems; you want to make sure you treat the actual problem, not just the symptoms.

Put some buttered toast in a blender. Puree the toast until it's liquid. Pour this liquid on your bare crotch and sit outside in your backyard (so nobody can see you) and wait about four or five hours. Don't move or get up no matter what! I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results. Or if not, try powdered toast instead. That should do the trick.

I've heard regular bathing and soap do wonders.

You wouldn't be able to notice the smell just from eating a turkey sandwich unless you actually had your head between your legs. You could have an infection, the most common would probably be a yeast infection. If you have a large amount of discharge then go see your doctor. Don't just go out and buy something because certain things can be damaging for you. See a doctor to figure out what is going on.
It could be nothing, just a normal smell.
Don't try to conceal it, because any kind of perfumes that you put on your vagina will give you an infection. But foods that make your fluids inside your vagina smell better are citrus-y foods like lemons and oranges. Eat lots of fruit. This is also true for guys that want their sperm to taste better in case you were wondering.
