HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

How can I smell better down there?

 
 
Last October I got my first period and I’ve heard of feminine odor, but recently I've had a really strong smell from “down there.” It rubs on my underwear and I can smell it all day long. Do you have any advice on how to get rid of it?
 

Welcome to womanhood. Discharge is sometimes just part of the game when you start going through puberty. But, luckily, there are some ways to deal. You can try getting some scented pantyliners, which will both help get the underwear sitch under control, and add a friendly scent.

 
While it’s not good to wash down there with soap in the shower, there are some soap-free cleansers that are safe to use. Check your local CVS. And while you’re there, you can also grab some cleansing wipes. Not the kind for cleaning household surfaces, but feminine wipes for this specific purpose.
 

Good luck, girl!

I'm in love with this boy and I think he likes me but I'm too scared to ask him. I've been crushing on him now for 3 years but don;t know how to get through to him. Any ideas? And a bigger problem is he doesn't even live in the same state as me! My friends tell me to get over him but I really don't want too, should I?

MOD MOD MOD I am confused about what it said about washing "down there". If you arent supposed to wash there, do you wash any "part" of "that area"? This is REALLY embarrassing, but I am conufused! thanks

 

Hey girlie! This question is completely normal, and props to you for asking about it! You can wash down there, but it's recommended that you don't use soap and instead use soap-free cleansers. There are also feminine wipes that you can use to wash down there. As far as washing certain parts of that area, you can wash any part.

When it comes to smell, we all have it sometimes worse than other times but most of the time its nothing to worry about.

And all of you in gymnastics and swimming, you can do what I do and shave the entire area down there. Then you dont have to worry about hair showing or it bumping out as much and for me I think it has helped with my smell. Just make sure you use a good moisturizer on the whole area every time you shave.

I'm having this same problem.. i think.
I'm almost 14 and have not started my period, but i think i'm having 'discharge,' so after reading this i started wearing pany-liners and they help. But is it weird to have this before starting your period? Is it weird that i'm nearly 14 and havent started?

I have a friend who cannot fall asleep at night and he claims he's really tired and has tried to sleep but can't. He claims he hasn't slept for the last three nights and I am really worried about him. Do you have any tricks to falling asleep I could give him? Thanks.

 

I have heard that drinking a glass of warm milk is supposed to help. He also shouldn't have caffeine (like in soda) or sugar before bed because that would be more likely to keep him awake. He could also try to think about what he wants to dream about before going to sleep. If he's having a serious problem with not being able to sleep, he could see his doctor.
