An...odor
20/f. Basically, I have a smelly vagina. And I don't know how to get rid of it. I always wash down there but even when I get out of the shower, if I spread my legs just a little bit, you can smell it. And even when I'm at work if I've been sitting for long periods of time my crotch and the chair will smell bad and its embarrassing. If I sit down too fast the odor will arise and then people can smell it.
When I go to the bathroom, my underwear is ALWAYS damp/moist and there will be a small trace of white. Not like, a lot of discharge, but always a little trail of white.
What is my problem? How can I have a "semi-normal" vagina. One that doesn't smell and one that doesn't get moist (thats probably where the odor rises from).
I refuse to douche.

Wear cotton panties because they breathe better. You may consider wearing pantyliners, period or not, and changing it ever so often. Or change your underwear/shower more. Also, there are feminine wipes. Playtex sells these wipes on-the-go for refreshing yourself down there. There are also these deodorant sprays specially made for spraying your undies and pants, just go to the feminine products aisle at stores to check out the selection. Also, instead of douching (which may be a good idea once a month, I know you said you do not want to) you might want to take baths because they clean the area better than when you shower, you do not reach everywhere inside. Or install a bidet in your house for constant washings. By the way, you should definitely visit a gynecologist just to be safe this cannot attributed to some other problem.

if you shave off all your pubes, it cuts down on odor because theres no place for icky stuff to collect. ive found washing down there with shaving cream helps too. and if its that bad, you might want to go to the gyno and get it checked out, along with an annual pap smear. and you might want to just give douching a try. ive never used it, but it might help. 17/f

You should go to a gyno. I'm not a doctor so I couldn't really tell you but they can prescribe you something...until then I suggest using baby wipes throughout the day. They leave you with a fresh and clean feeling down below. And they have a pleasant smell.
