Vagina stays wet ALL the time....?
Okay, 20/f
My vagina stays wet ALL the time! There is no itching or burning or discomfort. There is a little odor, but not fishy. I don't know how to explain the odor. I've tried everything to get it to go away and it will for a brief period of time and then it'll come back. The odor started when I stopped wearing underwear. Then I read that, that could cause your PH balance to be messed up, so I quit. The gyno said there wasn't any type of infection.
How can I get rid of the odor? (I bathe normally) and why does my vagina always stay wet?

You are normal! Mine stays wet all the time too haha. I do not see why this little odor, if not very unpleasant, matters so much. Is it too hard to accept?
And, hey, why not think of your overactive vagina like you could do anything sexual you wanted, at your convenience! You wouldn't have to randomly get horny during class, or that work presentation! Lol

Your vagina could be wet because that is how it cleans itself. I mean clean yourself everyday when you shower to get rid of the odor. Try vagisol body wash...it's meant to get rid of vaginal odors and clean the vagina.

I would suggest you're normal. The wetness is most like simply your hormones. Are you on birth control pills? If so this could be the cause of the hormonal reaction of the pills. Something you should discuss with you GYN.
Since you bathe normally the odor or more properly the scent you are talking about is normal as well. The scent or your scent is the animalistic part of us that attract the opposite sex to us. It is supposed to be a subtle scent that in your case a male will find pleasing and attract him to you. It should be just strong enough for him to pick up on when he is close to you.
It not be something you can smell yourself while working. Meaning it remains on your panties or your fingers that you can bring to your nose to smell. If you can smell yourself while sitting or standing then you should discuss this with your GYN.
Here again it could be simply overactive hormones caused by birth control pill or other medications you may be taking. I am not a doctor and even if I was I do not have enough of your medical history or medical physiology to make any type of a diagnoses. Which is why you question really needs to be discussed with your GYN.
There is no reason to be embarrassed to discuss these thing with your GYN. Your GYN has heard these things before and as a medical professional he or she or the best person to answer your questions once a medical exam rules out medical causes for your problem.
In short my advice is to see your GYN and until then you might want to use a panty liner to protect your panties. Be they cotton granny or more risqué panties. I would suggest staying away from thongs.

This is really something to talk about with your gyno, even if these is no infection, they are the experts.
Also, you should wear cotton underwear - no lacey, synthetics or thongs. Whenever you are uncomfortable with anything going on in that area of your body, go back to granny panties immediately. The a healthy vagina should be self-cleaning, but you can help it along by protecting it from your clothing with underwear, and choosing underwear that allows air to circulate.
The truth is, you are probably fine. This might just be the nature of your adult body. Some women have more discharge than others. Some have more odour than others. If your gyno says you have no infection, then the less you do to disrupt your vagina's natural balance, the better. (No special soups, douching or wet-wipes. Those are never healthy alternatives.) On a personal level, when I know I'm going to working a really long day (10+ hours) I bring a change of underwear, because I know I wont feel fresh by late afternoon.
The last thing I could recommend is to put deodorant on the inside of your thighs. Not ON your labia in any way, but on your thighs. That is another thing I often do if I have a long or hot workday ahead of me. If sweat is contributing to the odour, that can help control it.
