Lost tampon?: Did you lose or forget a vaginal tampon previously? The most common cause for the "smell" is a lost or forgotten tampon. Place a foot on top of a toilet ( this will allow you to probe deeper) and then explore the vagina for a "missing" tampon. If none exists, see a GYN MD who can also explore the vagina and perform a assessment for a bacterial vaginitis as well, the number two cause of the same.
