Using harsh soaps or scented products
Douching (not recommended)
What helps:
Gentle cleansing only on the external area
Products made specifically for intimate hygiene
Avoiding over-washing
If odor comes with discharge, itching, or discomfort, it’s important to see a healthcare professional.
3. Sweat and Excess Heat
The intimate area is warm and sensitive. In hot weather, tight clothes and synthetic fabrics can trap heat and moisture, creating the perfect environment for odor.
This is especially common:
During physical activity
With tight jeans or leggings
When wearing non-breathable underwear
What helps:
Cotton underwear
