I have a problem with my vagina there is always a smell but i shower twice a day and use femine wash down below so it doesn't effect the ph balance?

Feminine wash/odor: That's right, the two go together. Most so called non ph feminine washes either have perfume ingredients in them or mechanically wash away the "good" bacteria that ward off "bad" ones that can cause a "fishy odor." if your md has checked for that type of infection and its' negative, stop the feminine wash. Please and realize not all vaginal musky type aromas are "bad" and may be natural.
