A vagina has a natural smell but if it has that strongly a fish smell then she probably has a vaginal infection which can be cleared up in about a week with antibiotics. She will have to see her physician or gynecologist to be checked out to be sure. If this isn't the case, she should see her gynecologist to see what's wrong. She should only be able to smell a subtle musky smell when she's changing underwear so if it's stronger or she's had it longer she should get it checked out immediately. ]
Don't douche! I'm not sure if scented wipes have the same effect, but douching destroys the natural balance of chemicals in the vagina and can make your unfortunate girlfriend more prone to cervical cancer later in life.
Some people just don't smell that nice. I mean, it's a vagina. They don't smell like sunshine and candy. If it's always smelled that way, I'd say don't make a big fuss of it. But do make sure it's not vaginal bacteriosis. ]
well...........
maybe she has vaginitas...
or the soap is moldy!
tell her to spray. perfume the end! ]
Some girls just don't smell all that good, even if they're really religious about keeping it clean.
If the smell has always been there, it's probably not actually an infection, but she should go to the gynocologist and get it checked out anyway, and they'll be able to tell her.
In the meantime, she should try Summer's Eve wipes or another sort of feminine wipe, to keep it feeling (and hopefully smelling) more fresh. ]
If there is a fishy smell, it could Bacterial Vaginosis. This is a really common thing to get and is easily cleared up with antibiotics. I have included a website that gives you more information.

The smell is usually a hygiene thing, but since she's so certain that's not the problem, it could just be natural.
All girls have their own "aroma"...and some are just naturally unappealing. If that's the case, the only thing I can think of to fix that is those scented wipes. I don't think there's anything else that can be done.
It could also be an infection. Yeast infections and other kinds can cause a nasty odor. Infections are usually accompanied with some sort of abnormal discharge. Even if there's no discharge, it could still be an infection. She could see a doctor to check it out. ]
