How to Eliminate Vaginal Odor

If you're wondering how to eliminate vaginal odor, there are a few very simple steps you can take which may be enough to stop the problem. Before considering any other solutions, you could try these first.

Always ensure that you wash the vaginal area twice daily using unperfumed soap. Perfumed products can upset the delicate balance of the vagina and should never be used, even if vaginal odor isn't a problem for you. Washing any more than twice daily can strip the area of its natural lubricants so you should avoid the temptation to do so even when your vaginal odor is bad. Better to try other ways of dealing with the problem as overwashing will make the problem worse.

Cured Your Bacterial Vaginosis in 3 days the Natural Way

Another simple trick for women wondering how to eliminate vaginal odor is to try to stick to wearing cotton panties. Although we all like the look of the pretty silky ones, they can trap in moisture and warmth, thus creating the ideal environment for bacterial growth which can then cause vaginal odor. Cotton panties allow air to circulate better and are a healthier option. If you must wear them, save your pretty panties for occasional wear.

A change in sexual partner can often bring on a bout of vaginal odor and, presuming you are confident that STD's are not an issue, this is likely to be your body's reaction to the differing conditions cause by the sperm. It is a good idea to use condoms for a while until the problem settles down.

It is also good practice to change your sanitary protection regularly, whether you wear sanitary towels or tampons. Another trick which I found useful is to wear thin panty liners which can actually absorb some of the smell. They are particularly useful as they can be changed frequently throughout the day-a real boon if you are at work.
