If you wash your vagina too much, you can actually make it smell worse. There's a long discussion we could have about bacteria, but you can google it if you're interested in the mechanics of the thing.
So, you've washed your once-a-day. Other things to help include well fitting underwear in a breatheable fabric (like cotton). Diet can also impact on your flavour/smell, but if you don't suddenly want to change the way you eat, you can't do anything about that. Vaginas are like anywhere else on your body - as the day goes on and you get further from that morning shower, things won't smell like they were just washed.
But you know what? It's okay. Vaginas have a lot going on - discharge, lots of folds of skin, etc. No woman on earth has a vagina that smells like, well, nothing. You are perfectly normal and okay the way you are. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]

You can buy Summer's Eve feminine wipes at the drug store. They're basically like baby wipes, but for adult women lol. Just keep one on you and use it when you think it smells down there, or before you think you're about to do stuff with your bf. [ ellegirl606's advice column | Ask ellegirl606 A Question ]
LM answered Saturday April 26 2008, 10:53 pm: Honestly, it's a vagina. It's going to have a smell. As long as you shower everyday, you'll be fine. Washing TOO much actually messes up your pH levels and could make the smell worse.
So just using regular body wash (and rinsing completely, because soap + that area = wicked itchy) is sufficient.
