Is it normal i can smell my vagina often?

I've even said to people, "fuck I can smell my own crotch". No one else can smell it. It's not a bad smell. Just the average sent of lady. Just to toss in that I've never had complaints. Compliments, mostly.

I worked with a girl a few years ago that all the other employees could smell. When she would leave the bathroom, her smell would linger in there. We had told her several times that it was overwhelming and obviously there was a health/ hygiene issue.

Anyone else ever been able to smell someone's crotch just being around them? Or had someone tell you, you stink? I want stories.

    "No one else can smell it." but she gets "Compliments, mostly"

    You run into someone in the grocery store that you know and they say something like: "Wow Jenny, your crotch aroma is exceptionally fine today."

    yup, totally believable.

      Hahahaha! This is the best comment I've read on iin so far XD

      I just imagined the whole thing and it's so bad it's hilarious. Other patrons would cough lightly and look away and one blunt mofo (me) would laugh loudly.

      You need more upvotes my dude.

    • I didn't clarify. PEOPLE SHOVING THEIR FACE IN MY CUNT TELL ME I TASTE GOOOOOOD.

      No one else can smell me, but me. Are you a lady?

        • Don't be sad. The guy I'm sleeping with said he was sniffing my undies. You may be pleasantly surprised!

    Stinky vaginas are disgusting. I love to eat pussy, but if it smells bad then it's so off-putting.

    In your case, if it just smells of something not unpleasant then I don't really there's a problem. Perhaps you're hypersensitive to the smell?

    Seems like you won't get the stories you want. I've never heard of that. Do you even know where the vagina is located?

      It appears that OP knows it's in the crotch area, and people here in America often incorrectly call the vulva the vagina, so it seems that OP does.

        "people here in America often incorrectly call the vulva the vagina"

        It's not just the States; Brits are just as wilfully ignorant.

        I've read that some women don't like the sound of the word "vulva" for some reason.

          I was recently berated at the swimming pool changing room when another mum heard me refer to my young daughter's privates as "your foof". She very smugly told me that I should be referring to it using anatomically correct language - she turned to my daughter and said "it's a vagina". She was confused and argued the toss when I corrected her to vulva.

          This irritates me so much. My daughter knows the correct terminology because I've taught her, but we colloquially call it a foof as well. She understands both words. If you're going to be "anatomically correct" about it then at least get it right, for fuck's sake.

              I just think it's a bit much to call it a "vulva" in day to day conversation with a little one. Just the same as when my daughters are old enough, I won't be calling their bras "brassieres". Totally fine if others want to do that but in our house we try to be more casual about it. So all the kids that are old enough to talk are aware of the correct terms, but we call them "foofs" and "willies" most of the time.

            I thought it was called "the ol poon snapper"

            And male parts, that is called "the one eye'd liar"

            The other mother's self-righteous wrongness is lol-worthy, but I would have been thoroughly pissed off at a stranger who decided to shove their snout into a private conversation I was having with my daughter. Her deciding to "correct" you in front of your daughter was totally out of line, and if anyone pulled shit like that with me, they'd get a thorough ear-bashing in very crude terms.

            I'm not sure where you live, but you use the term 'mum', which suggests you're British. I therefore find this anecdote surprising, since my experience of raising a child in Britain is that it's very rare to encounter someone as rude as the woman you encountered, while it seems to be quite normal for Americans to feel that they have the right to pass judgement and make unsolicited comments about the children of others and how a parent is dealing with them.

            Yet another relic of the sanctimonious Puritan founders that has echoed down the centuries, I guess.

              I am British but I live in Australia, which is where this happened. People here are much happier to butt into your private conversations than they are back home.

              Don't worry, she got an earful from me.

            I read the book
            "vagina monologue"
            Medically vagina means only the opening.

            Many people are unfamiliar with vulva libia clitoris thing... So the whole package is called vagina

              Vagina is the passage inside. You can't see it from the outside (unless you shoved a speculum in there or something). Vulva would be the correct term for the whole thing.

              I get what you're saying though about most people not understanding the proper terminology. I don't mind people not knowing the right word, it just annoys me when they tell my daughter things that are factually incorrect and say that they're being "anatomically accurate".

          I don't really get why that is, vulva is a much sexier word than vagina. I don't use either so it doesn't make that much of a difference to me. I like Swick's use of foof, though.

        It's almost shocking when one realizes the number of woman who are ignorant of their own anatomy. Get a mirror and the book "What's up down there" and go on a journey of self discovery.
