My boyfriend drunkenly commented that I "smell down there" sometimes. I've tried washing with soap and using normal deodarent, but neither has really worked. do those summer's eve or other products work?
Women do have an odor "down there." They smell like women. Those women that use Summer's Eve etc smell like Summers Eve. I am pretty sure that someone will enumerate the reasons that spraying chemicals on your yoni is not a good idea. Tell you boyfriend that that is your odor and he better get used to it, 'cause all women have a similar delightful aroma. (Oops, I forgot a possibility. Yeast infections can change the odor.)
Apparently you shouldnt use normal soap and deodorant down there coz it knocks out the natural ph (?) balance and can make it smell worse. it cleans itself basically and you should only use specified products.... that being said i use normal soap and have no probs- never put deodorant there tho ... but every girl is different and as mikee said its ur smell and he has to get used to it. ciao and good luck with it .... ash
yup, I'd tell him to just get used to it if you aren't in the midst of a yeast infection or some other upset in your natural chemistry. If he's really freaking out about it, he can go buy some flavoured lube *that doesn't cause yeast infections* but it seems like a dumb thing to be upset over unless you've drastically changed lately I've heard that eating meat, drinking beer and smoking can affect your flavour, and that pineapple usually helps out.
hm. every woman has a perfume particular to her. there's only ever been one i wasn't personally able to adapt to. i wonder how much a role it plays in our "chemistry" in determining our long term partners... anyway, i never use deoderant products, they just cause more trouble than anything. a good mild soap and sufficient rinsing will usually do the trick. if it's still too much for your rude weenie boyfriend, you could take a shower immediately prior to sex..
RE: i wonder how much a role it plays in our "chemistry" in determining our long term partners... A lot. It basically tells people who is genetically "too close" or "too far" - and gives an indication of overall health and compatibility. (Not implying Arkansas marraiges etc. but if people have similar genes they won't attract) What really screws it up is the pill. Women who are on it lose that pheromonic vibe and vice versa- it gets turned off during "pregnancy" Hence the increase in divorces --- people on the pill hooking up, when they come off it later they get a weird vibe off their partner.
exactly. this is one reason why I don't take the pill. Smell is really important. And not deodorant smell. It doesn't cover a persons smell totally, but it might forge it to a degree. I only use smelling stuff in situations that are on a distant level, like when I teach at school. But not for my boyfriend. He likes my smell, and he tells me that, and that also makes me feel good, because it's a way to make sure we fit together. btw, I love his smell too. there's a spot right under his ears where his neck starts, it just smells so goooood. And as people said before, if you're healthy down there, he should like your smell, that's what it's for, attract males. If he doesn't, maybe he's not the one for you.... btw, what are arkansas mariages?
It's an oft repeated joke that in Arkansas marrying your brother, sister or parent is common - from the fact that marraiges between cousins is tolerated.
I agree with everyone above...women have their own natural "perfume" that is individual somewaht to each woman. sometimes infections can affect that negatively, and sometimes a woman smells a little stronger just before and after her period. From what I''ve heard, those personal deodorants can cause infections, or make existing infections worse. And, they can cause skin irritation.
well, and they're just silly. i was listening to some redneck comedian talking about how they make all these female deoderant things that smell like country flowers, and he says "Who the hell wants to eat a country flower?! if you're gonna use stuff that men wanna eat, like beef bullion?"
You know, one of my friends told me that pineapple helps SEMEN taste better, not lady parts. That's one handy fruit.
and I've heard it also helps out the flavour of chicks, though not to the same degree. it's not like it's gonna hurt anybody to eat a little pineapple either which way.
I would be totally hurt, I'm so self conscious about that anyway. I have used that summer's eve stuff. It smells a bit like laundry detergent. I don't like the way I smell or taste though. It's like, really acidic. But then again, my man says he likes it, but I don't know if he's telling the truth, or if he is just being nice because he knows how I am about it.
I disagree and haven't got time to look up any research regarding the pill and your smell. However, my boyfriend has told me numerous times that he absolutely loves the way I smell and ravishes me on occasion and I was on the pill. So my pheromones aren't turned off when I'm on the pill. I recently stopped taking it because I wanted to see if I could balance my mood swings naturally, and he still loves how I smell and taste. And I love the way he smells as well. Of course everyone is different and if someone wants to blame the divorce rate on pheromones instead of the true causes, so be it.
