Since this question was already answered I'm just giving you a very handy tip--
If you take a bath just pour a little bit of vinegar (I know that sounds odd, but it works!) into the water and sit in it. It will get rid of and prevent any smell there.

It's normal. Every girl is different when it comes to odor "down there". Some girls get light odors; some get heavy ones. Easy treatmens (that I have used and recommend) is Playtex daily wipes. It's not douching (no worry) and you just use them to cleanse yourself down there to remove the odor. Also, Vagisal powder can do the same, while absoribing any moisture from discharge.
Some tips to help it are:
1) Avoid tight clothing -- tight jeans and tight underwear can block oxygen from coming in and out, causing moisture and bacteria (odor and extra discharge).
2) Avoid silky underwear -- this also blocks oxygen [air]. Stick with cotton
3) Don't use soap to clean yourself down there, because that can make it worse.
I know you didn't ask for tips, but I thought that would help with your question.
****There's really nothing you can use that will be effective [at home] to reduce the odor. But for a last resort, use a little bit of baby powder down there as a temporary solution, or wear pantiliners (scented) to reduce the odor. Also, washing down there with just warm water can get the odor out a little bit.
