But in case that was not clear enough with my first "wash it"-post: use only water. Not soap. Soaps I can will agree with is not good to use, if you usually wash down there when in the shower I am sure you know not to use soap. If you want to wash with something and not just pure water, there are special soaps for your intimate area to use. Look for those in the pharmacy.

reader, anonymous, writes (22 January 2010): The people who are saying to just wash it and you'll be fine... are wrong. You can get serious infections from washing or douching your vagina. And it could result in much worse than a "nice smelling vagina".
Although I'm not a nurse or a doctor, I do know that these infections include (but are not limited to):
1. Yeast Infection
2. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
3. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
4. Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
5. Or just plain, old, vaginal irritation.
Most doctors say that it's best to let your vagina clean itself; the vagina cleans itself naturally by producing mucous. Also, it's important to note that even healthy, clean vaginas may have a mild odor. In addition, you should be aware of the fact that your boyfriend might actually end up being turned on by the mild odor.

Men absolutely know what it smells like down there and they dive in anyway..it's part of the experience, for some men, they like it so much, they steal women's undies and sniff the undies! Men's noses are not as sensitive as women's either, their skin is thicker and their nose smells less degrees.
Now this would be no excuse to let it go unwashed of course, try it after a shower, you will be missing out on a great experience if you can't get past your fear :(

If he doesnt hes a loser. But its true you probably do have a certain smell because everyones is different some are stronger than others. So if you dont want it just tell him that you really dont want him to do it.

A quick rinse with water clears away all the odors and even bad tastes. Avoid peeing right before he's going down on you, but even if you pee, as long as you wash afterward there should be no problem. I usually hold a towel between my legs and splash water on from the sink, no need for a full body shower. The towel keeps the floor dry so no mess, and then just dry up as usual when the cat-wash is done. As for the spontaneous times, all you can do to prevent smell is avoid peeing right before, always put on new underwear after a shower and have a clean pair every day. Sometimes thongs can give you rashes or be too tight for your skin to breathe, if you have experienced this then wearing hipsters could help.

 Dont be paranoid this is something that you will enjoy so much. But i can understand where u are coming from i think all women have felt a little self consious of this and a little paranoid when having someone new "go down". But unless you have been noticing an odor, or you are on your period you should be fine, also you can douche right before to make sure your smelling fresh (they say to douche after inter coarse) but its worth a try!!! Good luck

 If you love this guy enough, you trust him, you're comfortable with him, and you want to do it, then let him know you're anxious and try it out! To be honest I think its something we ALL worry about, simply because - that part of everyone smells!! no-one is odour-free! But if your insecurities are making you feel so uneasy that you don't think you can enjoy it then tell your boyfriend. Its something that is your decision and if you won't enjoy it due to you feeling worried then its probably not a good idea. But give it a try, if you relax and forget about the panic im sure you'll like it. He's not just any man he's you're man! And that means he probably just wants to make you feel good! x

So scrub out with lots and lots of soap and washcloth every morning and night, and always before you have sex. Plus keep the hair at least really low cut.

 I really think you are worried about nothing. Just relax. If you just can't relax, make sure that you wash below with soap and water (exterior only). No perfume or sprays. Trust me. He will love it, and so will you.
Good Luck!
