Was thoroughly and regularly and consider a spray to eliminate it.\n\nMy girlfriend had the same problem. She changed a few habits but I gave her a bottle of this spray I use called "Approach". It's an all-natural biological odor eliminator so it's perfectly safe to spray right on herself. It's helped a lot and I know it's made things much easier not only for her but for me too. You can find it online at www.approachit.net\n\nGood luck

Several things:\n\n1. Make sure you're using the right deoderant. I've been through three brands (I won't say who) because the first two didn't react well with my body chemistry and left me worse off than going without. Try different brands and see if one is better than the other. Also try spray vs stick vs roll on etc.\n\n2. Check your diet. Garlic and onions seep through the skin adding to door, as do several other vegetables that can cause gas and bodily odors. Don't have to cut them out entirely, but you might want to moderate your intake.\n\n3. Check your clothes. If you're sweating into your sleeves, your body chemistry may not react will with the fabric you're wearing. I had a shirt that, for reasons unknown, stunk like hell when I started to sweat. Finally figured it out and threw the shirt out. Haven't had a problem since.\n\n4. Make sure your body stays cooled inside and out. Heavy material in your clothes, too many layers, bad ventilation etc can all cause you to perspire more. Also keep hydrated. You may pee a bit more often but your body's own cooling system will be better fueled. (Incidentally, using the bathroom more often also helps your body cool off). \n\n5. Consider body sprays. Not something that will mask the odor, but something that will eliminate it. I'd suggest this stuff called Approach. I use it and it works great. www.approachit.net It's natural and safe, and it eliminates odor.\n\nGood Luck!

Are you using a "no perfume" version?  I think that will be more important than the brand.  Maybe borax?\n\nETA: Adding baking soda to your wash, or just washing with baking soda should help some.

I have tried them all and found that the gel works best for me. You might want to try a few different brands and scents. If you sweat a lot, try using an antiperspirant rather than  a deodorant.

I’ve found that I can’t be too far into my infection for this to work... Anyway, I also use organic yogurt. I just dip a tampon in the tea tree oil, than in the yogurt and I repeat this for 3 days. It works like a charm for me. However, every woman’s body is different. Best of luck!

Even if you're showering/bathing every day, some amount of odor during the day is normal.  Use panti-liners and change them during the day.\nHowever, if the odor is extremely strong and accompanied by a discharge, such as a very yellow one or a white, 'cottage cheese' consistency', then you have an infection (usually a yeast one), please see your Dr. before you try over the counter products, yourOB/GYN will test to see exactly what type of infection it is and how to effectively treat it!

Itchy down there, too moist, with white residue.  Hot feeling (not in a nice way).  I hear plain yogurt is a good home remedy.  I haven't had one in forever, but last time I used monistat 3 (I don't trust the 1 day, and 7 days is too long).  Good luck with that ;-)

I have the same problem.  The doctor told me to use Dove, sensitive skin soap.  Never use any pads or tampons with deodorants in them.  You really never need to douche, but if you really feel the need you should use vinegar and water ONLY! I also buy toilet paper that is dye free.  You should also be careful of laundry detergents.  Buy them scent free too.  You also shouldn't take bubble baths.  I hope this helps you out.

Those odors can be tricky.  I workout 6 days a week, so I have to stay on top of my workout-gear laundry.  It can be a challenge!\n\nHere are a couple of ideas that you might not have tried yet.\n\n - Try using plain distilled white vinegar when you wash the gear, even as a pre-soak.  It will help break up the sweat and odors. \n\n(Test a spot on your gear first, to be sure that the fabric will be okay.)\n\n - Lemon Juice is also recommended.  In my experience, it works well if you soak the clothes in lemon juice+water first. (An hour is good, overnight is better.) then wash. It may have more of a bleaching effect than the Vinegar - so try it with socks first.\n\n - If possible, line dry items. Sunshine is a great help discouraging nasty odors.  If you are drying gear in the dryer, make sure that items are completely dry.\n\n - Specialty cleaners - there are new detergents on the market that are specially designed for workout gear.  Win Detergent is one option (http://www.windetergent.com) and Approach (which was recommended by another responder.)\n\nIn general, I have found that keeping the laundry area clean, and free from dust also helps keep odors at bay. (Dust bunnys love my clothes dryer!)  I have some Febreeze-like odor spray handy, and I make sure that the washer and dryer are not "passing along" any bad odors.\n\n (I give the lint trap a quick spray when I clean it out. )  \n\nGood luck with your training!

lol Take her to the store and pick out things with heavily scented perfumes and say, i use this, you should try it. It works great and smells so good. But leave out the part where you're just doing it because she smells and you can't stand it.

I don't want to sound like I'm lecturing you, but killing the bacteria in your vagina is a really bad idea. Vaginal 'scented' products change the delicate chemical balance of the vagina and can actually make a woman more susceptible to infections. \n\nIt can also introduce new bacteria into the vagina which can spread up through the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Researchers have found that women who use 'scented' products regularly experience more vaginal irritations and infections such as bacterial vaginosis. \n\nBesides, did you know that the gentle scents produced by your vaginas natural bacteria contain pheromones which actually arrouse a man even more. I'm not suggesting try and stink, but a couple of washes a day should be more than enough! \n\nAnd if an 'occasion' happens, plead you need the loo and have a little wash.

the best solution i have ever heard and know works because i tried it is to put vasoline on your feet and wear socks to bed.  you need to put lots of it on.  then repeat this night after night for a couple of weeks and i am sure you will see results.  its a method that is not time consuming and very simple and relatively cheap.  just make sure to wear heavy thick socks so the vasoline doesnt seep through on to your sheets.  good luck
