HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

What stinks down south?

 
I haven't had my period yet but when I'm sitting in class and doing my work, down there starts to stink! How do I make it smell better? My mom said to use soap so I do every time I take a shower but the smell never goes away. What should I do?

 

In life, everyone has little insecurities that they have to learn to deal with. As a female, it is likely that we’ll have to deal with some sort of vaginal odor at some point during puberty. Many women are embarrassed by vaginal odor, yet in reality, most of the women around you have dealt with the exact same issue.

 

The facts

The sour scent you smell could come from a variety of causes ranging from lack of personal hygiene to a yeast infection. The soap you’re washing with could actually be part of the problem. Cleansers and feminine hygiene products get rid of good and bad bacteria, making it difficult for your vagina to regulate and clean itself naturally.

 

Helpful tips

Improving your personal hygiene is the easiest way to eliminate vaginal odors. Make sure you rinse your private parts with warm water in the shower, but avoid using soap or feminine hygiene products.  Also try to wear loose cotton clothing to allow more air circulation. It may surprise you, but lace and thick material underwear can really prevent the necessary air passage.

 

If the scent lingers, talk to your doctor.

I still haven't gotten my period. I'm the only one left of my friends and almost the whole grade. Is there something wrong with me?

 

Nope! Theres nothing wrong with you. Everyone gets theirs at different times. It will come! Don't stress out about it. xoxo kerra

Umm.. I'm on my period and home alone. My sister is on hers too I think and she left our tampon/pad stash Empty. I've tried calling her and my parents none of them are replying to me. What do I do? It's not even light either it's unsusually heavy today

Hey girlie,

If your parents aren't returning your calls, maybe you could ask a neighbor if you could borrow something or if they could drive you to the store. It might be a little embarrassing at first, but they'll totally understand (they're adults!) and be willing to help you out!

I've had this issue too! Definitely rinsing with warm water and avoiding perfumed products (like soaps) helped get rid of the smell! Also, you can try using liners so the smell doesn't stink up your pants too!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
