hailebop answered Sunday November 13 2005, 5:25 am: Your vagina has a natural scent which you shouldn't be ashamed or embarassed about. If you are washing and changing your underwear daily, it shouldn't be a problem. If you do these and it still has a really strong and unpleasant smell, it may be a sign of infection which you should get checked out by a doctor, but if it's not overpowering then it's just the way your vagina is supposed to be.
You may be tempted to use "feminine wash" products to cleanse the area and get rid of the scent, but this is a bad idea. These products are very chemically and can upset the natural acidic balance of your vagina, leading to infections, irritation, discharge and extra smell as your vagina has to work extra hard to cleanse itself. Similarly, avoid anything scented near your vagina. Use gentle, unscented soap on the area - anything perfumed is bound to irritate.
Some women prefer shaving, and hair does trap scent so yes, removing some or all of the hair may help you feel less self concious about how you smell. But there is absolutely no requirement to shave or remove hair - it really is a matter of personal preference. All the best. [ hailebop's advice column | Ask hailebop A Question ]
