Proper Cleaning

I have had an odor for quite sometime now. I'm very healthy. I eat well, exercise regularly, do not take birth control. I get regular check-ups and have not been diagnosed with a yeast infection or BV. Yet, this odor still persists.

I'm wondering if I'm not washing properly. I take a shower every other day, and I use soap to clean myself. I do not use the soap up inside of my vagina, but I do wash around the outside and inside the lips around the clitoris and the vaginal opening. Sometimes I use a powder when I just can't stand the odor. Am I doing this all wrong? Am I over doing it and messing up the natural ph balance?

What types of products do you use, and what is your technique?

I appreciate any advice. This is such an embarrassing problem!

Thanks again,

Melody~

Ana,


A fishy odor isn't good.
