writes:Hi all, you must get this question all the time... sorry...Ok here goes... how do I know if I smell normal down below?! After a day not showering it smells like... scampi fries... sorry... also a bit tangy. Now is this normal? It's not hugely overpowering, it's just there. Also if my boyfriend's been fingering me, by the end of it his fingers are covered in thick white discarge... I'm so sorry about this question! Now don't hold back, tell me te truth. Is this ok or WRONG?!

 Eat plain, natural yogurt every day if you're worried about odors, taste and infections down there. The bacteria in yogurt (L. acidophilus) neutralizes your vaginal pH balance and helps keep your Candida albicans (the guys that cause yeast infections and bad odor when they overpopulate) under control. I eat yogurt every day. I've never had a yeast infection or strange discharge and my boyfriend tells me the only scent I have is similar to when you smell your forearm hours after showering and it smells faintly of skin and soap; the taste is slightly sweet/tart. From what you've described, you sound normal, but if you want to clean it up a bit, I really would suggest a combination of yogurt, eating less sugar but more fruit, and getting rid of the hair down there.

 Sounds normal to me. Everyone's a bit different, of course, but you're not describing anything I haven't come across.
If you are healthy and have good hygiene you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Bt u might want to check w a doctor and make sure as its nt healthy to treat ur self 4 a y.i. If u havent gt one, since some yeast is nessasary and ud b ridding of alot. Ur discharge shld b alitle thicker durin ovulation bt nt white. if u have any smell down thr at all then try usin baby wipes nstead of tp. Gves u a more frequent clean. If u have a y.i. Goin a day w.out a shower wil make u smell goofy, bt a shower and cleaning wont cure it, it just takes the smell off. Bt check with doc. First! Hope this helps!
