DO you always feel awkward about the unpleasant odor coming from you private part(vagina), applying some chemical base cream is not always the best option. In most cases some changes to the personal hygiene are sufficient to combat vagina odor. Most of the chemical base cream provides temporary relief only and can often lead to other several problems when used for long periods. Here are few simple steps that can help you in getting rid of vagina odor without subjecting your genitals to any harsh chemical product.

(1)Over washing and under washing of the genital region can result to vagina odor. While you must wash the area at least once a day, going overboard and washing more than twice can increase vagina smell instead of decreasing it. Over washing damages the delicate tissues of the vagina and strips it of its natural lubrication thereby making it dry and prone to odor. Also use plain water and a mild soap to clean the area, since antibacterial soaps and heavily perfumed once can dehydrate the vagina tissues.

(2)The second most important thing to do is to replace all your synthetic panties with pure cotton panties. Synthetic fabrics create perfect grounds for the breeding of the odor-causing bacteria, as they keep your genitals warm and moist. On the other hand, cotton which allows better circulation of air, helps in keeping the area cool and dry. Also synthetic fibres can irritate the delicate tissues while cotton panties pose no such threat. Some women experience too much of sweating in their genital regions and the sweat combined with the vagina discharge makes the odor problem even worst. For such women it’s advisable to use thin panty pads to absorb and lock in the discharge as well as the sweat, and keep the area dry. You don’t need to wear the pads all the time, use them when you’re going out in hot weather or when you’re heading for a busy day.
