Ladies,

Embarrassed to ask this question - my privates (vaginal/crouch area) smells like sweaty arm pits/bo smell by mid day. I am using a mild soap/shower gel when I shower. I am trimmed/waxed. I want to know if there is something that I can use to rid the area of odor during day. I don't have leakage of urine or anything. HELP! Tired of smelling like this (only solution I can fathom is 2 x a day bathing - not realistic while working/taking care of ds 2 yrs old!)

There done with embarrsing question!

Hi Christine,

There are a few things that you can try:

Only wear cotton underwear, since it breathes better
Avoid tight clothing, especially during summer
Avoid wearing tights or pantyhose
If necessary, wear a breathable pantyliner. There are lightly scented and non-scented options available.
You could also try Vagisil Deodorant Powder, which is designed to prevent wetness, odor and chafing.
