Many women are concerned about how they smell down there. But here’s the truth—every woman has a natural scent, and that's normal!

However, if your smell becomes a little funky or out of the norm, that’s when it’s time to pay attention.

Here are our top 10 feminine hygiene tips every woman should know:

#1. Sleep without underwear

It might sound weird, but it’s one of the best things you can do for your vagina. She’s always under clothes and needs as much air as possible. This helps reduce the chances of developing vaginal odor, and it’s more comfortable and relaxing. Try it once—you’ll see!

#2. Avoid silky undies

Silky underwear might feel luxurious, but it’s not breathable. This can trap sweat, causing odor. Stick to cotton panties—they’re breathable, help sweat dry quickly, and won’t disrupt your pH balance as easily.

#3. Give her some air

Tight clothes, especially jeans, can cause ingrown hairs and odor. Tight clothing presses against the skin, making it harder for air to circulate, which can lead to odor buildup. Give your lady parts room to breathe!

#4. Pee after sex and wash your hands

Peeing right after sex helps flush out bacteria that can cause infections. Always wash your hands before and after using the bathroom to avoid introducing germs. And remember, don’t insert unnecessary items into your vagina—they can throw off your pH.

If you notice a strong odor after sex, it could be due to sensitivity to your partner’s semen. A boric acid suppository after sex can help balance things out.

#5. Stay dry

Bacteria thrive in moist environments, so always try to stay dry. If you swim or work out, change out of wet clothes as soon as possible. Wet clothes can allow bacteria to travel from the surface into the vagina, leading to infections.

#6. You are what you eat

What you eat affects your vaginal health. Foods like onions, garlic, and fish can sometimes cause an odor down there. Try to eat more vagina-friendly foods like yogurt, fruits, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help with natural lubrication.

#7. Probiotics are your friend

Your vagina has good and bad bacteria, just like your gut. Keeping a healthy balance of good bacteria is key to preventing infections. Make a good probiotic a part of your daily routine for better vaginal health.

#8. Use feminine wipes (but wisely)

Feminine wipes can help keep the outer vagina clean and dry. Just be sure to use unscented or baby wipes to avoid upsetting your pH balance. Never use them inside the vagina as they can disrupt the natural flora.

#9. Consider vaginal moisturizers

Supporting your vaginal cells with a good vaginal moisture supplement can help them stay hydrated. Try She Juicy to improve vaginal moisture levels and promote overall health.

#10. Boric acid is your best friend

Boric acid suppositories are a game-changer for vaginal health. They help strengthen good bacteria and fight off infections like BV and yeast infections. They’re safe, effective, and work fast to eliminate odor and discomfort.

Boric acid isn’t scary—it’s similar to the lactic acid your vagina naturally produces, which helps maintain your pH balance. Learn more and get your supply of Flower Power boric acid suppositories.
