my vagina smells like fish, its really gross. i'm so self conscious when doing things with a guy because it smells. is their any way to get the smell to go away besides just washing with soap and water? cause i do that and it doesn't seem to be working out for me :/ thanks

Do that, and shower every day and after physical activity, and if you still think you smell after three weeks like that, talk to a doctor.
It really shouldn't take more than water to wash your vagina, and light soap should only be used on the outside lips and area around. The worse smells are most likely caused by not taking good care of your vagina when you aren't in the shower, like by keeping it wrapped up in tight, uncomfortable fabrics that don't let it breathe. Just like all of the rest of your skin, it needs to be left to itself sometimes. If you always, always wore socks your feet would get permentaly gross and smelly too. Same goes for your hands, or even for the skin under your watch.
So, start the above regiment of proper care, and banish your bad underwear, and see if that helps. Some degree of smell is natural and good, but for my own self, I know exactly which pairs of my fancy underwear make me smell worse than usual, so I’m careful not to wear them too often.
