the groin like the armpits can be rich in sweat glands and very prone to an overgrowth of odor-causing bacteria. assuming you do not have a skin infection or fungal infection (these can smell) and the odor is truly not vaginal (you would need to see your gyn) this problem may be able to be controlled "environmentally". use cotton undies. always. sleep without them to allow extra air exposure at night. use a good soap. perhaps one that is more antibacterial. and actually use a mild deodorant/antiperspirant (you can use the same one as you use for your armpits). hi doc try reading this. what can i do practically about perineal odor? can i use deodorant sprays? it is best to try to control body odors by natural means rather than deodorant and antiperspirant cover ups because many women can get an irritant vulvitis from chemicals placed on the vulvar region. this does not happen with all women but does with some. its from this site. <link> but one thing i forgot was shaving shaving the pubic will help rid the area of the smell as hairs trap odours then this will build up during the day also going commando as often as you can apart from sleeping naked will also help. as they say all bits of info help. hi this may be the place your looking for its a blog with solutions have a good read through then go to solutions it may be just what you want. <link> just copy into google to the www. to open and read. i do hope this helps you. good luck
what if you are a clean person and have a foul oniony smell in the pubic region all the time but not inside vagina?
