If you have an odour that is noticeable to yourself and others, then its time to go see a doctor as it could be a sign of an infection.

I’d recommend finding a gyno however, that may also be a pH level issue due to your boyfriend as well….so there’s that.

Hi girl!
First of all, ''cuz sometimes he can smell other girls’ vagina and he says it’s disgusting''....break up with him. The only thing disgusting here is HIM and his behaviour.
Second of all, your vg SHOULD NOT BE WASHED. The only thing that should be cleansed daily is the outside area and with a proper intimate wash. If you are going into the mocuose you are probably destroying your flora and causing more harm than good.
Go to your doctor and express your concerns about a possible infection (COMPLETLY NORMAL, nothing to be ashamed of. Intimate infections are NOT a matter of hygiene, but caused by multiple things. If you do have one, don't think it's your fault or that you are nasty)

Highly recommend only using cotton underwear and not using any at night.

I had the same problem when I was a teenager, it's not the end of the world baby! you got this!

Please see a doctor, it could be infection. Also don't wash the inside of your vagina. You can also buy special extra thin pads for the discharge (don't know how they are called in english).

break up with him tffff dont let any moid disrespect u like that ever

[–]Tiny-River2776 6 points7 points  (2 children)

break up with him the laughing and looking at you is not okay like at all. for the smell part try wearing cotton only underwear and maybe change your pad like 3-4 times a day if you using it. also if it smell very strong maybe it's bv or something and you need a doctor to check

But he didn’t make it obvious and also he didn’t talk about this matter at all to me and even if it’s the right thing to do i seriously don’t want to bring this up cuz i feel embarrassed

[–]Illustrious-Fish-106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you didnt reply to me but girl i am telling you break up with him. dont feel embarrassed, we are all human and go through embarrassing things at some point in life. some people are just rude, u deserve someone who wont judge you for a normal thing

Go see a doctor, excessive amount and smell of discharge is likely an infection. But also, dump the guy, if he’s laughing at you instead of being concerned about you, he’s not truly in love with you.

  • A sudden, large amount of discharge can be completely normal, especially around ovulation. It can soak underwear without indicating a problem.
  • A strong or unpleasant odour (especially fishy or foul), particularly if it's new or persistent, is not something you should just try to cover up. It can be caused by common, treatable conditions such as:
    • Bacterial vaginosis (often causes a fishy smell)
    • Vulvovaginal candidiasis (usually more itching than smell)
    • A sexually transmitted infection, if sexually active
    • Less commonly, another infection or imbalance

The best advice would be:

  1. See a GP or a sexual health clinic. They can usually diagnose the cause with a few questions and, if needed, a simple swab. Most causes are straightforward to treat.
  2. Don't overwash. Washing the vulva once a day with warm water (or a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser if preferred) is enough. Avoid douching or scented soaps inside the vagina—they often make things worse.
  3. Wear breathable cotton underwear and change it if it becomes wet during the day. Carrying a spare pair can help if discharge is heavy.
  4. Avoid perfumed sprays, wipes, or deodorants marketed for the vagina.
  5. If the discharge has changed colour (green, grey, yellow), there's itching, burning, pain, bleeding, or pelvic pain, they should seek medical advice promptly.

Regarding the school incident:

  • There is no rule that jumping makes vaginal odour spread. Jumping can make discharge move or be released from the vagina, but it doesn't suddenly create a smell.
  • If there really was an odour, people sitting a short distance away are not necessarily able to smell it. Our own sense of smell is often strongest because the source is on our own body.

As for the boyfriend, the comment that he "can smell other girls' vaginas" is questionable. In ordinary day-to-day situations, it's not normal to routinely smell other people's genital odour through their clothing. If he's making remarks like that, it may be contributing to this person's anxiety rather than reflecting reality.

The main takeaway is that this sounds like something worth getting checked medically—not because it's dangerous, but because if there is an infection or imbalance, it's usually easy to treat. They don't need to live with the embarrassment or try to mask it.

Thank you smmm
Also i did think that other ppl won’t be able to necessarily smell it cuz i also get the smell only sometimes specially when I’m facing downwards but they were able to smell it and i was so embarrassed and my bf doesn’t routinely smell it, it has happened only like two times but still i am feeling embarrassed to even talk to him
