do not put anything in there at all ever !! go and get checked for any infections or irritations ! no more soap , see the doctor , if you need something they will prescribe it xx

It is most likely BV you will need anti biotics putting soaps or anything there will make it worse. It’s a bacterial imbalance

Neverrrrrr put ANY kind of soap up there or anything other than water! See a doctor as it sounds like an infection, it’s really simple to clear up but you will make it worse with soap and your vagina is self cleaning, only the outside bits ever need soap and even then it should be one sensitive or specific for that part xx

The most I’ll use down there is baby soap or femfresh the fragrance free version. If you think the smell is really bad I would suggest going to the doctors just to check for BV or any other signs of infections because a foul smelling odor usually means that. Other than that your 🐱 is a self cleaning organ and you don’t have to do too much. Please bare in mind you are pregnant and sweat does come there so it’s not going to smell like flowers!

I read that it is normal that during pregnancy and when your baby is born, body odors intensify, this so that your baby can naturally find you since the first weeks the baby can barely see, but a smell like seafood, I don't know if it is part of this. Talk to your doctor, they can check and see if it’s BV and send you pills, cream or suppositories. It’s very important to treat it in time before it gets worse and affects the baby if you are pregnant

Thankyou all so much! I will speak to my doctor and see if I need ABs! Hopefully I haven’t done any damage :(

You should not be putting soap inside you. Your PH is thrown way off. Do not dousche or any of that nonsense.

Don’t worry, there’s likely no permanent damage done from douching. But it is a completely unnecessary practice that will be more likely to give you a yeast infection and bad odor than prevent it. The vagina is self cleaning, there is no need to wash inside it with anything, even water. Urine exits the body through the urethra, so there is no need to worry about cleaning your vagina after you pee either. You only need to wash the folds of your vulva, preferably with a gentle, fragrance free soap, at most one a day.

Oh, thankyou for letting me know! I didn’t realise that!

It’s ok! Marketing and advertisements will have anyone who doesn’t know better believing that they need to shove all kinds of products up there.

See a doctor it sounds like BV

please see a doctor as it might be BV and NEVERRRR put any soap inside 😩

Nothing with fragrance please if it’s uncomfortable try coconut oil and head to the doctor ! I would avoid any of the soaps with fragrance if you can help it too.

Dr bronners Castile soap and change ur diet more water and healthy foods and get checked out

Let your girl breathe.. especially at night. Dove body wash only on the outside. Be seen by an gyn, don’t be embarrassed, trust I you’ll not be judged., if you’re feeling insecure, then get it checked it out!! Usually very simple fix

Yes cotton panties or no panties

No products inside! No water inside! You’ve probably overwashed and that’s what’s causing the issue! Only wash outside with a mild feminine hygiene product, and I’d even say don’t do it everyday. Personally I only use regular shower gel to wash public hair area daily, and occasionally use feminine products in the more intimate area, not even as much as once a week.
