A BAD strong smell means they have an
infection, such as smelling like fish or
smelling like yeast (fresh bread).
However, most women have a "smell" to them
all the time, 24/7. They are not infected,
they just naturally smell. Just like semen
has a smell and a taste all the time, so
too does a woman's vagina have a smell and
taste.
If you have yellow or green discharge, or
it is thick white and clumpy, associated
with itching, burning, or a strong, bad
smell, THEN you have something to worry
about.
Most of the time a vagina will start to
smell "funky" if a girl doesn't get to
bathe for a few days; this is especially
true in hot weather. Sweat and bacteria
mix down there and it smells!! It's not a
disease, it just means you need a bath.
Some girls have "wet" underwear all the
time, and it's not because they
don't wipe after they pee. It's because
they have a lot of natural discharge and
the underwear is the only place it has to
go.
Wearing silk panties traps moisture, so if
you're naturally aromatic (smelly) and
wet, then wearing silk can actually make
you smellier and wetter. Soggy panties are
icky.
So, most women wear cotton panties. These
"breathe" better - like sports clothing.
Some women even have to wear very thin
pads on their underwear to keep them - and
their pants - from getting soaked through!
I've had days like that.
So as a summary:
It is
very normal for a vagina to have an
odor. It is normal for this odor to be
"strong". As long as the odor isn't "bad",
everything is good. Also, most women have
discharge all the time. It's not that
they're "dirty" and don't wipe; it's just
their bodies. I own a lot of "dirty"
underwear.
