o.k. so when im doing gym and we have to do splits, and spread our legs out, i get a really bad odor from my personal area. I don't know what to do to stop the gross smell i think that it come from sweat. Should i wear pantyliners to stop it??

Kat	Douching and not a lot of sexual partners.

Latin Spice	You may want to try douching and also try sprinkling some baby powder down there take a travel size powder to gym with you and sprinkle some before and after class.

sweetundina	That would help!

something2b	there are special sprays and soaps u can use for that,u can find them in any store

Sugar Magnolia Says GO CHIEFS!	go to the doctor

streetdestroyer	Idk deusch i guess i would consult a doctor about it - does it go away after taking a shower cuz' if it does it may be just a simple as sweat- goodluck!

sarah s	It wouldn't hurt. I used to have the same problem.

Sol	Well, I think a combination of washing yourself right before you go to the gym and wearing a pantiliner would help. Each individual has a different level of odour in different places of their bodies. If this continues to be a problem, you could also use a vaginal douche prior to going to the gym, available at pharmacies or department stores. I wouldn't recommend using this last solution too often, as it washes out beneficial bacteria along with the odour-causing ones.

sweetpeanc1245	Do not douche! It is very unhealthy for the vaginal environment. You're asking for an infection. Try a scented pantyliner or one of the external feminine deodorant sprays if you're really self-conscious. However, I bet no one else notices the odor.

shortyonwheelz2005	take a shower and WASH real good. nothing says ''smell good'' like a good shower

baby	you can if you want to or start to try some personal hygiene products might just as well.

PineappleMangoGuava	definatley and a scented one too. try doucheing

amyvnsn	Pantyliners are for drainage. You might try buying some Summer's Eve feminine products. Use the feminine soap, the feminine powder, and keep your area dry and clean. Also, if you feel comfortable, a douche would probably help with the odor. You can find them in Walmart - just ask the pharmasist where you can find them...they will know. I had the same problem growing up when I was in school. My sister didn't have it and so she thought I didn't clean myself properly, but I did! Hang in there, and just try those steps I wrote above, and you should be fresh as new!

diva	do u shave the hair on ur personal area? if u dont then it could b b'coz of that...im sure!! try 2 remove it first(u can remove them wid hair removal creams too) n clean the area well... try it!! im sure it will help

emmie_keeferton	1. I'm sure you bathe regularly, and that is why the odor is hard to explain (what is wrong with some people who've answered this question--of course you bathe!). Anyhow.... When women (who bathe regularly) have an odor that smells bad, they usually have an infection or an STD. Not to worry, because vaginal infections happen to all women from time to time. The most common infections are yeast infections and bacteria infections (commonly called bacteria vaginosis). These infections are not Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Many things cause yeast infections, such as: certain antibiotics, hormonal changes before menustrating, wearing a wet bathingsuit or tight pants, wearing panties that are not cotton or are not white, douching (please don't douche!! It will disrupt the natural PH balance of your vagina and cause infections), etc..... the list goes on and on. So, as you can see, they can be quite easy to catch. You need to see a doctor. Just call them up and tell them that you are having vaginitis. Planned Parenthood clinics also see and treat young ladies your age for free or very low cost (almost free). They're a great option if you are afraid to ask your parents to take you to the doctor. I know it can be especially hard for a young lady to tell her Mom that she thinks she possibly might have an STD--for obvious reasons. Or you may be too embarased to discuss vaginal infections with your parents--understandable. Either way, please be seen by a doctor. Leaving an STD untreated can cause you to become sterile. And a vaginal infection won't go away without treatment. And besides, vaginal odor can be a terribly embarrasing condition to live with... and it'll only get worse, if left untreated. Don't worry. It's all part of becoming a woman, and we've all been through it. :)

aunt_chli_dog	you should either wear paintie liners or tell your mom or(if you live with her!!)or consult your doctor.

caramel_sexy20	yes pantyliners would help. if sweating is the case try a dash of baby powder or femimie powder in yor undergarments to absorb the sweat and neutrizie the odor. i use to be that way. it really works. u should try it.

CherrySplendor	Use a feminine hygiene wash like a Summers Eve, then use a pantyliner or put baby powder between your legs to help with the sweat.

Lexy320	You should use FDS(Femine Deodorant Spray)it helps.The reason of the smell is because you are sweating and fiction,also if you just got off your period could cause an odor.So also try washing it very well after you are done working out.

Heather P	Don't douche, that is bad for your body... You probably have a bacterial infection which is similar to a yeast infection but it cause a strong yucky odor. Go to the doctor and get checked. If that is the problem and you let it get worse it could cause other problems over time.

misstina191984	first of all find out why there is a odour.. NEVER douche all that does is change the ph in the vagina and will cause odour.. yeah you can wear a pantyliner. try buying some of those fiminine sprays you can get pretty much anywhere. but please see a doc

mockingbird	I'd think pantiliners might make it worse because they have plastic backings. Sounds like you need to find some workout wear, including panties, made from wicking fabrics so that sweat doesn't just accumulate down there.

Kat	Douching should help. Also, try to change your underwear more than twice a day-

₦âħíмânầ»€G	Shower good and check with your Doctor as sometimes certain infections can cause odor. Not STD's but infections. You can also bathe twice a day to help and use cleansing wipes which you can buy in the section where the feminine products are.

koko3845	1) Shave hair. Buy a small pair of clippers. (Beard & mustache trimmers. 2) Use FDS or feminine wipes before gym starts. 3) Use lightly scented liners. 4) Repeat 2 & 3 after shower when gym is over. Odor should stop, but if problem persists see your doctor. Hope that helps and good luck!!!

grave	before gym, use some personal femenine sanitary wipes and spray your panties with some deoderant spray or perfume. but don't spray it directly on your area or it will burn! hope this helps. if it doesn't help, it may be a more serious problem that you should see a gynocologist about.

captures_sunsets	try some vaginal wipes or spray as well as a scented panty liner. Good luck!

La Princesita Boricua	I do not recommend douching, because douching can cause yeast infections and other vaginal infections. Try going to your doctor you might ahve to take some medicine. You might have some kind of vaginal infection and you check it out. Go to OB GYN. they will be more than happy to help you with that.

jtownliz	that is a good idea a scented panty liner and they have a eminine deoderant spray for it too so whatever works best for you

Kewl Katt	Regular washing with warm water and mild soap during baths and showers will keep the outside of the vagina clean and healthy. Doctors suggest women avoid scented tampons, pad, powders and sprays. These products may increase a woman's chances of getting vaginal infections. Most doctors say that it is best to let your vagina clean itself. The vagina cleans itself naturally by producing mucous. Women do not need to douche to wash away blood, semen, or vaginal discharge. The vagina gets rid of it alone. Also, it is important to note that even healthy, clean vaginas may have a mild odor. If your vagina has a terrible odor, douching will only cover up the smell. It will not make it go away. If your vagina has a bad odor, you should call your doctor right away. It could be a sign of a bacterial infection, urinary Tract infection, STD or a more serious problem.

pulchritudinous	DON'T douche. It can upset the balance. Instead use pantyliners and sprinkle some Vagisil powder on the pad every morning. Be sure the take showers daily. Wear cotton panties and loose clothing. You may have a yeast infection so you may want to purchase Monistat. When using the restroom always wipe front to back. I would also consult a doctor. He/She would know better than anyone on here...you could have some sort of infection. You never know. Women's bodies are weird.
