I was having a conversation this morning with a friend and I thought to share this with the ladies
The vagina doesn't have to smell like peaches and roses. It's a vagina so it should smell like one. Once I read some where that it's okay for it to have a slight fishy smell(it said slight oh! Don't go and be smelling like salmon or something lol). But you have to understand this...when it comes to the smell of your vagina, you are pretty much what you eat. If you like yogurt, good for you! Probiotic yogurt like kefir or activia and cranberry juice help maintain the ph balance of your vagina; which affects how it also smells. If you have any colored discharge or pain, you must see a Dr. It could mean that you have bacterial vaginosis(also caused from an abnormal ph balance)...it's common among women who dig in their vagina during bath time and amongst women with different partners(the acidity or alkalinity of a man's sperm also affects the ph balance of a woman's vagina)...this is why if you must be sexually active it must be with one person or you could make yourself sick. Stay healthy and clean.
Ps...every thing I share is from studying and asking questions...
Please use protection while sexually active or make sure your partner and you are being exclusive..
Please make any contributions in the comments. I'm sure a lot of ladies have questions, but are shy to ask. I do get some questions and you'd be surprised what some people don't know. Thank you
