How To Get Your Vagina To Smell Good

91779379

We all can be a bit conscious of our bodies, and particularly the odours that occasionally emanate from our most intimate parts. But, there's no need to worry. Expects assure us that vaginas should be left alone to self-clean. The minute you start douching and using too much soap to clean yourself, you may be disturbing the Ph balance and that of the good and bad bacteria. This in turn can cause infections such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and thrush. Both these conditions can happen without being sexually transmitted and can often cause a funny smell.

So to make your vagina smell and taste sweet, try these:

Wash everyday, but avoid over doing it.
Use clean water and PH balanced, soap-free intimate wash.
Sometimes it's better to shower than soak in a tub.
Never spray on deodorant or fragrance because they won't only exacerbate the problem, but they can also be harsh on the sensitive skin.
Load up on foods such as pineapple, cranberry juice, grapes, and celery. These are great for your bladder and keeping your lady parts smelling good.
It is reported that too much sugar can also cause thrush.
Drink a lot of water to keep your body hydrated. Water also dilutes urine and body smells.
Also yoghurt is full of probiotics, which are good for keeping vaginal and intestinal flora balanced. As an alternative you can also take probiotic capsules, and especially when you're on antibiotic treatment.
Consult with your doctor to rule out or treat any existing infection.
