I dont. Please dont do this, as it will mess up your internal pH balance... this is only recommended if you having a highly acidic vagina (BV)... and if youre not experiencing a fishy odour then i doubt you do.
The previous posters gave good advice, every woman is different.. Lakerat showed how it makes us unique.
However, i realise that this is affecting your personal life. It is possible that you are 'over-cleansing'? The vagina is a seriously sensitive little environment (albeit a wonderful one) ...over-cleansing with soaps (acidic) can wash away the alkaline balance. Once a day is sufficient to keep you clean and fresh.
If your boyfriend hasnt noticed anything then i doubt you have anything to worry about..
Diet, yes, would cause certain 'stronger' smells than others. Try eating more fruit and vegetables, if you smoke or drink alcohol this will increase the intensity of the smell. Think 'good' foods!
Conclusion: if youre over-washing, cut down and see if this helps, also, i take Lactobacillus Acidophilus (90mg) daily, which just keeps pH levels at their optimum... its the only form of 'good bacteria' that can penetrate the intestinal wall to the vagina...and if in doubt, go to the Gyno and ask for a body MOT

.
Good luck sweetie.
