PunkieFreak4690 answered Monday June 26 2006, 1:38 pm: This could be caused from wearing tight clothing. Usually wearing really tight jeans could lack the entrance of oxygen to and from your body, causing really bad odors. What could probably help is wearing looser jeans, but it would be better wearing other sweat pants or light shorts. Also, silk underwater (and any kind of tight underwear) can cause this as well. Use light, loose cotton underwear to help reduce the odor. Also, there are feminine care products designed to control the odor and discharge like Vagisil creams and powders (containing starch and baking soda that is proven to dramatically reduce odors and discharge). If none of this works, contact a gynocologist. [ PunkieFreak4690's advice column | Ask PunkieFreak4690 A Question ]
