Funny Sex Tips From a Virgin

Stink Vagina Causes

1. Bad Personal Hygiene

When you have bad personal hygiene, it tends to lead to a powerful vaginal odor. Be sure to wash your private region with warm water (not hot water) and use an unscented, mild soap. Keep pubic hairs trimmed, as thick, long pubic hair will retain moisture. This is ideal breeding ground for the bad bacteria and tends to lead to the evident vaginal odor.

There are some medications (ex. antifungal ointments and creams) that treat yeast infections that could cause an odor to emanate from the vagina. The reason is that they kill off the bacteria that cause yeast infection.

This condition causes very serious burning sensations and itching and produces a thick vaginal discharge that includes a strong odor.

4. Bacterial Vaginosis

The vagina is typically loaded with good bacteria that assist in maintaining the pH level and prevent infections. However, when the good bacteria is flushed out (ex.

Bad, fish smell
Grayish white discharge

Common STD symptoms include burning and stomach pain during sex and/or urination, swelling and bad smelling vaginal discharge. Condoms can help keep the spread of gonorrhea and chlamydia down. However, other STDs such as genital herpes, can still be spread even if you're practicing safe sex.
