Underwear is the main culprit of Vaginal odor. Tight panties made from synthetic material can trap odor and prevent your vagina from breathing. Cotton panties are best compare to silky ones. Also tight, curve-hugging clothing can also trap. After wearing a pair of tight pants all day long try going to bed bottomless letting yourself 'air out' overnight should help. We all get a little stinky sometimes. Really. It happens. But cleanliness can have a huge impact on body odor and vaginal odor in particular. Not only is it important to a healthy and fulfilling sex life, but it’s important to your friends, family, co-workers, and strangers passing on the street. I mean, maybe your dog won’t mind. But please, wash your cooter every day and after any sort of excessive friskiness. Avoid using floofy cleansers, like scented body soaps and stuff. Just use a plain soap with no added moisturizers or scents or dyes or flower chunks or scrubby things. Just use plain soap and clean water to remove smegma and the associated odor.

Vagina is full of sweat glands and the sweat often builds up very quickly and gets trapped in folds of the vagina. Always try to eliminate sweat. The scent from dried up sweat often called "B.O." can be really hard to get rid of just imagine how much worse it is when coming from down there. One more tip to fight sweat is to "powder" AROUND your area which will absorb your sweat throughout the day and keep the sweat from mixing with the bacteria on your skin. Please make sure you use a corn starch based powder and not talc. Talc can be harmful towards your body and potentially cancerous if it travels into the vagina via the cervix and into your womb.

Shave your pubic hair often which can trap the smell of sweat and become a breading ground for bacteria. Hair absorbs foul odors, so keep your area trimmed up or hair free and that should help.

Silky materials of underwear are not good to absorb moisture. In fact, those constricting, airtight clothes can contribute to an odor problem. It appears to be a consensus between the experts that your cooch needs to “breathe.” And it can breathe best in natural, white cotton underwear. Save the fancy stuff for fancy occasions. The rest of the time, ditch the super tight, leather hip-huggers and go for something more natural. Avoid harsh dyes, added chemicals, and anything synthetic, like glitter.

Harsh chemicals are all around us. Many products marketed to women, many to cover vaginal odor, may actually contribute to vaginal discomfort and can cause vaginal irritation, discharge, and odor. Tune out the marketing that promises “fresh summer breeze” anything or “twilight rain” whatever. That often translates to super harsh chemicals. Take a peek at your bath gels, soaps, shaving creams, laundry detergent, and any other chemical that comes close to that sensitive area. Just keep yourself clean and “breathing,” and a healthy vagina will keep a healthy smell.

The food you eat can also affect the way you smell. Especially strong spices like curry, garlic, and onions can seep through your pores when in your system and the smell can last for several days. Seafood can also have this affect. You don't have to give the food you love completely just avoid eating it during the day if you plan on being intimate that night. If you need extra help cleansing your body from the smell drink as much water as you can to try to flush it from your system. Also drink juices that are known antioxidants such as cranberry juice, apple juice, and prune juice.

Another not so well know tip is eating yogurt. Yogurt contains live, active cultures, good bacteria that live in your system and can help fight off bad and odor causing bacteria and boost your immune system. The acidophilus in yogurt can also help prevent yeast infections and maintain the ratio of good to bad vaginal flora in your system.Try eating yogurt.
