I don't suppose that they make pads with baking soda in them,if the do, then you should try those. And if not, try shaking a little powder on your pad.
And of course you should douche at least once but not until your period is over.
Also let me say this. That ordor is not meant to be offensive. In fact may scientists who study these things, think that a woman is more alluring and attractive when she has her period. I don't believe that you smell offensive when you are having your period. I think you have been conditioned to think this by TV commericals who think we all stink, have heart burn, and need a new truck. It it just designed to sell products. Make us all good little consumers. Think back hundreds of years ago, when personal hygene was impossible, (no running water, no heat, no soap!) We still managed to attract the opposite sex, fall in love and have babies.
