Be cautious: Vaginal odor is not necessarily a lack of cleanliness. In fact trying to "clean" your vagina too aggressively can damage the skin and lining of the vagina causing more irritation. Often a "smelly, fishy" vaginal odor is related to a benign overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria. A condition called bacterial vaginosis. This can be treated by our doctor. Hope this helps.

Rule out: Have you had your first vaginal exam by your doctor yet? May want to make sure there is not an infection before trying a bunch of products to make it better. Sometimes an overgrowth of bacteria can cause acute or chronic poor smells from the vagina that can be easily diagnosed in your doctor's office. If that has been ruled out, would recommend a pH balanced wash like Vagisil to see if that helps.
