here is a little about me and my situation
*18 female
*virgin
*been on birth control for about two years now
*i've had horrible discharge, it's clear but i have so much of it
*i've been to the doctor, asked her about it and there is nothing i can do
*i have to wear a tampon everyday AND a pantyliner because it's so bad
*i know using a tampon everyday is horrible but there is no other option, otherwise it will get all over the place
*i wear thongs all the time, don't know if you needed to know that but just a fact.
my question is, before i have sex i don't want to have a pantyliner on that just isn't sexy and if i don't wear a tampon my underwear will get all gross! i don't want to be like, i have to go to the bathroom because what if it just happens you know! even if it wasn't about sex and he was going to finger me or something i just hate having so much discharge and having that gross feeling in my underwear. and i don't want the guy to be like ok gross your underwear is all wet and nasty? does this happen to anyone else? also i don't know if wearing the tampon causes this but i have this weird smell from my vagina. i wash it with water everyday. it's not like HORRIBLE but i don't know if its normal? what are some suggestions for before i am "sexually active" i just don't know what to do....

I wouldnt wash your vaginal so much you could be washing away good bacterial and that might be the reason for the smell and even the discharge. your vagina is very unique it keeps itself clean and if it senses a foreign bacterial it changes on its own its ph levels to kill off the bad bacterial its a defense in other words. I dont recommend douching a vagina or washing it out again it can do more harm than good it can irritate your vagina. My guess is you might be washing out good bacterial and that might explain the smell and discharge. take bath and showers but do not wash the inside or use your finger with soap inside your vagina .. also you might have a allergic reaction to latex or a lubricant or even to his sperm!! yes his sperm in his semen might cause an allergic reaction or even his skin. make sure his penis is clean ( hygene) and his fingers, nails are clean and groomed. and make sure you know about his sexual experience and background.
I hope this helps [ sobeg's advice column | Ask sobeg A Question ]

Dont worry about discharge though, men like when you are wet down there and it is much better than being too dry anyway. He will be flattered if your underwear is wet because it will mean you want him. And the drinking water thing is a good idea so try that too. Don't worry it will be fine!

solightninglove answered Friday November 7 2008, 3:33 pm: well, the smell is normal i can tell you that much. this is a difficult situation, i would still tell him you have to go to the bathroom. thats the only thing i could think of. i usually go to the bathroom before i mess around with my bf anyway. its not that big of a deal, what else can you do though? good luck :D [ solightninglove's advice column | Ask solightninglove A Question ]
