Girls, Femenine Hygiene?

[Anonymous]

So, I'm 15, I'm a girl, my mom didn't really teach me anything about hygiene for the more private areas. And I find it embarrassing to ask somebody this. But I need some hygiene tips to keep it oddorless. Something quick, simple and affordable. It'd be nice if it was something you can make at home or something like that if there is anything. I just need some advice, and I don't know where to look for it...

I know I use unscented body wash for my skin, it also helps more when you have your period too because it won't irritate any rashes you have. If you have pubes, just keep them trimmed and it'll make it easier to wash yourself there. All you need to do is wash the skin that surrounds your vagina, but not the vagina itself as it produces fluids to help clean itself. I sometimes use baby wipes (there's also menstrual wipes too) when I need to just clean myself but don't need to take another shower. They definitely help when you want to go to the pool, and you need to clean yourself before you put on your bathing suit (nobody wants the pool to become a sunset).

Just wash regularly with water. The main thing is regularly. I would also advise you to use pads instead of tampons, but this is all very subjective. If you have any others question, don't afraid. Ask

All you really need to do is bathe. It is a self cleaning organ. Just wash with water or if necessary a very mild soap.

There’s nothing, there will always be a certain smell and that’s normal. But if it smells really bad or like fish or the discharge is odd you could have an infection/bacterial vaginosis and need to see a doctor. Other than that just wash daily with just water or with special intimate soap/intimate wipes. No regular soap and don’t wash inside the vaginal canal, it will fuck up your ph level and make things like smell worse. Use underwear made of cotton.

To build on abbycado, it's perfectly natural for it to have a natural odor.

And vagisil pH balance is good to use once in a while

Just use plain water. If need be, using a pantie liner might help.
