What kind of smell is a v****a suppose to have?

Question

I'm very insecure about the smell that I have down there. To me it has a weird smell but to my boyfriend he says it smells perfectly fine. So I'm wondering is there just a natural smell that every woman has and if its a strong smell that only yourself can smell and not anyone else. And that only strong smell someone else could smell is the odor of a bacteria in your v****a.

Answer 1

What "kind" of smell ?  Take a shower. Don't put on deodorant, antiperspirant or any perfume.  Put on a sleeveless shirt.  Wait 2-3 hours.  Your underarm aroma will be close (but less strong) to the type of normal intimate aroma.  It's an "acquired taste" like Scotch... at first it's a little foreign but quickly it becomes a favorite - when you associate the aroma with the excitement/pleasure.

Answer 2

you should smell pleasant.  if not, you probably have an infection.  why do you think the smell is weird?  perhaps you have conditioned yourself to think it is weird out of socially-conditioned disgust for your own body?  ask yourself, does your boyfriend think his body smells weird?  do you?  in truth, the smell of s***n is harsher and less pleasant than the smell of a woman's v****a.  But in this male-centric society, boys and girls alike are taught to praise men's bodies but hate women's.

They're all different, as long as it's not a fishy smell you're good.

Answer 5

I have the same problem Darling. I hate the way I smell and my boyfriend says I smell wonderful. It might be because you're a girl and you're not a L*****n. It's what my boyfriend has always told me. As long as you shower and wash your v****a when you do, then you should be alright. If it starts to smell really fishy or strong it just means you need a bath. It might even mean that you have sweated during the day at some point and it's not like you can put deodorant in your v****a. Don't worry Darling!

Answer 6

You know I have the same problem.  I never had the nerve to ask him but I try to avoid him getting too close to smell anything.  He has never said anything so it might just be me.  But like a lot of people say it's just what you think.  It's probably nothing to worry about.  If he was concerned I think he would tell you.
