  Beware how you tread here :|It could be either she has a unique scent that doesn't agree with you or it could be that since her last partners and meeting you she has developed thrush or a nasty bug (NOT and STI necessarily). I would think she would have other symptoms though and be off to the Doc or chemist herself if so.Is she big on hygeine? The vagina doesn't need soap but a good clean out with water wouldn't go astray every day. Perhaps you're catching her on the tail end of the day when she's a bit ripe? Why not have a shower together and naughty there. The scent shouldn't be as strong then?

  Has her scent changed recently? It could be that she has a vaginal infection or that she needs to adjust her diet to include strawberries and other fresh fruits and vegetables and Greek yoghurt..the one with no sugar. A diet high in sugar will not help an infection if that is the problem Avoid eating alot of meat,curries ,onions,garlic,subtle changes but at the very least can't hurt and maybe helpful. As playfullminx says it is a subject to tread warily with. I wonder if she has always tasted and smelt like this to you,or is it a recent thing?.Obviously you are attracted to her in other ways but this a big one for both of you x Hugs H.

  Had a play friend many years ago with this issue - it appeared first as just a bit sweaty, but got worse and worse.Eventually she went to a doctor and discovered it was an infection caused by an imbalance in the good and bad bacteria that live there.Antibiotics got rid of it but it came back and she had to go through it a few times. She also found some home remedies that helped but I cant remember what they were.Was nothing to do with hygiene or STI/STD just a dietary problem that led to an imbalance. Pretty common apparently.Not sure if she eventually got rid of it for good or not - I moved on for other reasons.A nice lady doctor should be first port of call.Good luck.Mr C

  The vagina has a delicate balance of body fluid, good bacteria and a really good self cleaning system. If you use any sort of internal wash or douche you can upset the balance and end up allowing bad bacteria and fungal infections like thrush to take hold and cause a bad smell. Being a bit run down, on antibiotics or taking the pill can have the same effect.A day spent in nylon pantyhose, tight jeans or leggings can cause a bit of sweatiness that can have quite an odour by the end of the day. I know that there are some women who don't wipe away the drips after urinating and by the end of the day the smell of stale urine is quite noticeable. And unfortunately there are some women (as well as men) who have a distinct body odour that has nothing to do with infections or sweat, it's just the way they are.

  I would think that she has a ph imballance. Is the smell especially strong during and after intercourse? It is easily fixed by some over the counter stuff in all the bigger chemist shops called Vagicare or something like that. In the aisle with the feminie hygeine products.

  Thanks guys, she has very good personal hygene. I may try some of the dietary advise. She does like to wear tights too so maybe that affects it. Thanks again everyone

  But did you speak to your partener about this? What a lame way to have a reason to seek other women. Does the word respect come to mind?

  While washing is important, over washing and soaps can be bad, and make things worse. If she has commenced antibiotics or has changed medications, either of these may lead to vaginal infections. A urinary tract infection have an unpleasant odour. Diet and or dehydration play a part. The transfer of bacteria from anus to vagina can lead to problems - in ruins spontaneity but make sure you wash every thing before it changes orifaces. They may take a pounding with impunity, buy vaginas are delicate, and the reasons for odours are numerous, a good GP should be able to help.

  This is a very personal and delicate manner, one which needs to be handled with care and sensitivity. The experience has to be good for both of you so if she is understanding and sensitive and you both discuss it in an appropriate manner things can be resolved, if she doesn't wish to go there then you have a quandry, there are foods that will neutralise some odours, there could be infection as mentiioned, or they type of clothing/pantyhose which can cause unpleasant odours.   as long as you handle it with care and in the meantime put yourself out there too ie. ask her if your odour is ok,

  ...as my mind creates and retains images that are quite vividly complete in their sensory effect. This is just me perhaps but I would have to move on...to this day my stomach turns if I even see a picture of Beef Stroganoff let alone have to smell or eat it. |Good luck...it's a dilemma.

  we love our vaginas but they are without a doubt fussy things. They like to be kept just so and any number of seemingly 'normal' things can upset the apple cart. There are a number of things your partner can change to test whether it makes a difference. Change from trousers to skirts/dresses and avoid wearing knickers and tights...no airflow increases the temperature and encourage the naturally living 'bad' bacteria to flourish. I gave up knickers years ago and have never looked back (some outfits excepted). If she sleeps in PJ's, swap for a nightie or better yet naked, same reason as above. Avoid those beautiful fruity shower gels or natural soaps, opt instead for something like dermeze or femfresh. Johnsons and Johnsons make a ph balanced shower gel that's lovely but vaginally kind. Lastly, if the smell is worse after sex, it may be a strong indicator of bacterial vaginosis. A trip to the docs and a painless swab will confirm and antibiotics will sort her out. If you like her, stick with it :-). the best things in life are those waiting for xxx

  Yes bacterial vaginosis is what im thinking a ph imbalence in the vagina. It's something you might find a turn off but tust me I've had this infection and I personally feel disgusting,dirty, unclean, and revolted by it but a dose of antibiotics will clear it up. Good luck be gentle though its a touchy subject for most girls because we want to smell good for you too.

  3 major causes of vaginal odor - trichomoniasis (STI), candidiasis or bacterial vaginosis. Is there a discharge? If heavy and curd-like, its candidiasis then treat with anti-fungal. If generally no discharge and itchy then its trick, treat with metronidazole. If no significant discharge, minor discomfort and no itching then it is bacterial vaginosis, since it is may be caused by a pH imbalance, stress or a new partner because of the change in flora (natural bacteria in the body, not an infection), taking antibiotics is NOT recommended. Treat with Dequalinium or lactobacillus vaginal tablet once a day for 7 evenings.
