I recently started to have this 'funny' odor whenever I had sex with my husband. It was really bothersome to me because I didn't feel sexy anymore and I couldn't even enjoy oral sex like before. About a month ago, I tried something that has really worked. First, I threw away all my panties that were not 100% cotton, then stopped douching, then once a week would insert a garlic clove (peeled) in my vagina overnight and take it out in the morning, also sleep without panties, then take a hot bath in vinegar water, eat a lot of yogurt, and drink a lot of lemon water to detox my body. After a month of these rituals the odor has gone away almost completely. Another thing I did that only if you can you should do; I stopped taking my birth control pills for awhile because the hormones in them messes with your ph balance and contributes to vaginal problems, but I understand if you can't do that one. Hope this helps a little, even if you can't do all these things, a few of them still should help out a little.

if you have vaginal odor, say after you menstrate you can get rid of the odor by simply putting in 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of white vinegar in your bath. get the water as hot as you can stand it and water level should be to your thighs while sitting up. make sure it's mixed in real good then sit in it until the water gets cold. it balances the ph and there will be absolutely no odor.

There is a product I recommend to patients call Femanol. It does not require a prescription and can be found online.
Some of the info here is good but allot is just wrong. DO NOT douche, do wear cotton underwear but sleep without underwear. Avoid sweets as much as possible. DO NOT use scented soap, rinses, washes or sprays, as some hear have suggested, they just cover up the odor and do nothing to eliminate the cause.

I tried everything every gel, wash, and spray on the market before finding Essence for Women... I ordered it online. I can't believe how well it worked. The other products didn't do much for me, but I found this product worked and I haven't had any odor since going on it months ago. Hope it helps!

I have started to have really nasty vaginal odor for the past three or four years. I am a virgin, so I know it had nothing to do with sex. Doctor said it wasn't because of any type of infection, that I would just have to live with it. That wasn't an option for me. After being online for over an hour, I found this:
5 or 6 drops of pure tea tree oil, and a half cup of Epsom salt. Pour it into a bath, and have a nice soak. Don't rub it in or anything, just let it sit for about thirty minutes. Then, you can wash up regularly (no vaginal soap for this day) and continue about your day. After a few baths, the odor is gone! I prefer to have a soak with JUST the tea tree oil about once or twice a month, to keep clean. But, the Epsom salt makes your skin soft and relaxes you, too!

Odors down there can be caused by yeast infections such as an overgrowth of candida. If yeast is your problem taking oregano oil capsules, garlic, and probiotics such as acidophilus may help you. Also eating less sugar is helpful because the Candida uses the sugar to grow. When I do these things combined with using Intimore classic intimate liquid wash it helps. the wash contains tea tree oil which is a known anti-fungal I find the wash helps to balance my pH.

Vaginal odor is caused by too much 'bad' bacteria replacing the 'good' bacteria in your vagina that's needed to balance it out. This is a little-known remedy that takes just ONE NIGHT. Go to your health food store or a pharmacy that carries refrigerated probiotic pills. If they have one specifically for women, such as 'femdophilus,' choose that one. Instead of taking the pill orally, though, insert one like a suppository while you're sleeping. You don't need to insert it very deeply. You will need to wear a pad. All symptoms should be gone in the morning. Do NOT use douches, they can make matters worse. You're dealing with a very delicate area, you just need to re-balance it. Keep some of the pills on hand for when your immune system is down, which is when you'll be likely to get a re-occurence. You should be clear for months with just or two treatments, though! You're welcome!

I have read most of these posts and you have to learn your body personally. Having a lot of different health issues and doctors not being able to pinpoint causes and treatments, I have researched things my self. everyone is saying eat yogurt yogurt yogurt. caution! although yogurt does contain the necessary living bacteria to help balance this condition, eating too much sugar filled flavored yogurt can cause reoccuring yeast infections. also there are differnt probiotics. research to ensure that the yogurt you are eating contains lactobacilli. I have not found sugar free plain yogurt brands in the united states. if you choose to eat yogurt on a daily basis, verify it contains low sugar. The lowest grams of sugar i have found in stores is 3 grams. if anyone knows of a sugar free brand in the states, let me know! Eating things such as mushrooms and garlic cause odor to seep through your thin vaginal walls. The best advice is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and drink your daily amount of water. If you are not a fan of uncooked, fresh vegetables, slightly cook them to ensure the nutrients remains. eggplant is a vegetable that retains its nutritional value whether raw or fully cooked. water is need in every cell of your body to function. water is an excellent cleanser. the number of ounces you drink per day should be equal to half your body weight...Using a probiotic as a suppositry is interesting. I dont know much about that but i will be looking into it. soaking in tea tree oil and vinegar baths consecutively for 3 to 5 days once a month helps the average person. i personally take them 3 to 5 days before and after my cycle. If you take birth control that prevents you from having menstrual bleeding monthly, that is not healthy. menstrual bleeding is a natural cleanser, just like urination and bowel movements, and can help prevent this problem also. learn your body and your daily food intake and excretions. then trial and error. happy journeys!!!!!!

First and foremost you should go to a doctor just in case it is an underlining issue that is causing the odor. Once you establish that everything is ok, mix one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide with one cup of water and douche once per day until your symptoms clear. You can use a disposable douche bottle or an enema/douche bag. Normally, it is not good to douche but hydrogen peroxide is perfectly safe and kills any candida, bacteria, or viruses. This is also an excellent remedy for yeast infections or Bacterial vaginosis. Personally, I believe this method is not prescribed because the pharmaceutical companies can't make money from it. I only do this after my aunt flow visits and it does not smell fresh down there. Hope this Helps!

Get Balsamic Vinegar and mix with honey, put a teaspoon of whisky in the mix and heat for 1 min.. Rub on and leave sitting for 15 min.. This sounds weird, but my grandma did it to me when they first came up and it works like a charm!

The effective home remedy for vagina odor is lime.use small amount on the vagina wall for 30min before bathing and squeeze one lime into a half litre of water and douch with it believe it works like magic and see the result in 21 day! Due to the acidic in the lime it helps destroy and bacteria and restores the acidic lost in the vagina.

Unfortunately, bacterial vaginosis is not something that can be curred (yet) but is a reoccuring infection that has no known cause, only triggers. I have been dealing with this for the last five years (same sex partner for 14 years) and it can be very frustrating. I suggest you find out what your triggers are and try to avoid or minimize them i.e. douching, soaps, lotions, washing powder, etc. Go to your gyn and get treated for BV then follow a healthy regimine which includes eating lots of yogurt and drinking plenty of water to cleanse your system. Good luck ladies!!!

Sometimes if I feel that my vagina has an unclean feeling or odor, I shave or at least trim the hair from my pubic area, & then I wash with Summer's Eve feminine wash. It's very gentle & it neutralizes odor & kills all the bad bacteria. I know how self concious it can be when you don't feel your cleanest. I have never had to bathe in vinegar or anything like that, the feminine wash has always solved the problem.

You will need : Special Shampoo Head & Shoulders : Generic or Preferred Moisturizing Hair Moose :
1 ) Washing your vaginal and anal area and arm pit areas daily with Head & Shoulders HYDRAZINC 2 in 1 is ideal for thorough cleansing of bacteria which comes from residues caused from everyday urinating and defecating.
2 ) Massage conditioning hair moose into the creases and crevises of your genital areas first, then your anal area second. Then wash your hands. You can use hair moose after using the toilet on both areas then wash your hands thoroughly. This will be soothing and fragrant and actually reduce and stop vaginal itching due to naturally anti bacterial botanical agents which are found in most moose hair products. 3 ) What we eat can be absorbed by our uterus during periods and by our urine and feces during toilet time so be clean and happy.
