Usually not: Coconut oil is not used as a deodorant for pap exam. If there's a strong odor, your doctor may have you further worked up for bacterial vaginosis or something else depending on what is found in exam. Also, if you sweat a lot, the body odor in this area can be pronounced.So refrain from wearing tight jeans, panties or anything that doesn't allow for better ventilation.Do wear comfortable underwear.
