    The smell is dependent on the chemical composition and bacteria (good bacteria,) yeast balance, feminine PH - all that fun chemical stuff down there.

    Every woman has a different smell - some is stronger than others, some are very faint, most fall somewhere in between. Can be a subtle " sweet" kinda smell, a strong muskier smell, or something in between those.

    Now if a girls p**** is smelling like fish or that green thing you just found in the back of the fridge you keep in the basement - then there may be some issues going on there.

    There could be infections - non - STD related, that can happen if harmful environmental bacteria get in there (usually from underwear, or not wearing underwear in jeans - whatever leaves your vag exposed to the elements - whatever the case, can upset the delicate balance of chemicals down there. Which can lead to personal discomfort and bad smell.

    Yeast infections are the most common.

    Another thing that can cause really bad smell, could be dehydration; the chemicals become too concentrated and omit a strong pungent odor.

    Those are the two major reasons I can think of for a chick to have a bad smell - that and of course, not showering enough (eew.) A female should never go more than 2 days at the most without bathing -

    The vagina is a powerful self cleaning organ - but to do that it needs to build up more chemicals which = more smell :\ So baths are great :D

    As far as washing the vag out -

    I heard your never ever never ever ever never suppose to put any type of soap or wash down there. Even the stuff made for cleaning vaginas can kill some of the healthy good bacteria down there, and make chicks more prone to infections - and very serious infections.

    I just put a bit of water on there (your not even suppose to do that honestly,) and wipe it a little bit. Not because of the smell, but just to make sure everything is clean and functioning.

    I believe a lot of women become overly concerned with their smell, because lets be real - the vagina has the most odd smell. They try to make it smell like flowers and kiwi fruit down there, by putting God knows what down there instead of just accepting the fact that every chick has a weird smell down there.

    It's just a characteristic of having a healthy vagina.

    • +1 I don't get why this got a thumbs down

    • Someone's a retard. That's why. :P

    • +1 That is a detailed answer. Are you a doctor ?

  • LMAO! your girl's cookah needs wash!

    Yes, we can and yes I do. I don't use my regular soap, though, since she's more sensitive.

    If you get the point where you can smell a girl there and she stinks, RUN!

    It's either A) she has some type of infection/std/disease/something gross or B) she's dirty (doesn't wash herself often, does so improperly, doesn't wipe/wash after peeing, etc) in which case she will get A.

    Don't stick your penis in there!

    • Or her pubes are too long and not groomed. They then absorb stench!

    • she's totally bald down there. so maybe a bath and fingering herself will make it good before sex?

  • Smoking alters the smell

    Lrge quantities of alcohol or caffeine alter the smell

    Not enough water alters the smell

    Excessively salty or spicy foods alter the smell

    Not drying properly after washing alters the smell

    Wiping back to front alters the smell

    And yes we can wash with soap long as its mild..

    • I've been washin my kitty for years with mild soap and water and my hubby thinks she smells heavenly. I don't was in it at all. I don't get infections either..

    • lmao! Very informative

    • EXACTLY some women are sensitive to soap down there so they think you are not supposed to use soap which is NOT true. Mild is okay. I use dove for sensitive skin down there and I have NEVER had a problem...

  • Haha maybe because she has bad hygiene and depending on the food she eats, it can cause a certain smell.

    • does yours smell good?:)

    • haha, no complains from guys so far, so I'm good to go..haha

    • how many guys have you been with? what have they done for you down there?:)

  • Washing with soap (or pretty much anything else) is a bad idea, it can really irritate the skin and cause dry itchyness and maybe even yeast infections! (Very uncomfortable!)

    I sometimes rinse with water...but never too much, just enough to make things comfortably clean.

  • lol hey some penises don't smell like roses either.

  • Because some girls do not properly wash or take care of their hair. You should wash daily down below! Same goes for guys - it begins to smell sour down below on a guy if he does not have good hygiene habits!

    • i shave my balls and have the hair on top trimmed really short so it looks pretty and I wash my d*** with soap everyday.
