It might be: Without itching or odor. the vagina emits a sweet, musky odor naturally. Try wearing cooler moisture wicking fabrics in the genital area such a cotton underwear or going "commando" when in a private setting to avoid a yeast infection from excessive heat. Yeast like warm, moist, glycogenated (glucose) places such as the vagina.
