1.Shower daily. 2.Stay dry (pantyliners & feminine antiperspirant & cornstarch helps)little to no hair if possible because hair holds odor 3.cotton panties & always use baby wipes after you use the bathroom.
Good advice sister! More advice: Wear loose dresses and skirts with no underwear. As a dance teacher, I wore oneses constantly under form-fitting jeans. My grandmother who was a midwife & community healer back in the early to mid 20th century (when poor black folks relied on healing with herbs and nature) asked if I wore that outfit most of the time. I answered, "Yes maam, I do." She told me that she noticed most girls are always in jeans and said this was not good for us -- it was "gonna cause more infections in their private area." She said a woman's "private area" needs fresh air. Being younger I just laughed, She pulled down her glasses, eyeballed me, and put her finger in my chest. "Wait! You'll see! I'm telling you, now you tell your sisters, make a habit to wear dresses or skirts -- something loose with no underwear." I said something like, "Mamma G., I'd have mucus all over my clothes and it wouldn't feel right! But she said, "Jess clean yourself a bit every time you pee! You not having on underwear is between you and the Lord!" Fast forward to today: She was right! I don't know many women, me included, who have not experienced vaginoses, yeast, UTI infections, bad odor, excess sweating... Today, unless I occasionally wear a pants suit for work, I wear dresses or skirts or nightgowns WITHOUT underwear and it works 100%! That dear, deceased many years, caring healer of a grandmother was soooo right!
Try using baking soda and/or cornstarch powder- they are not chemical powders. Some deodorants can cause skin reactions and also stop the body from breathing naturally. My Mother and Grandmothers use to use this for many years...it is cheap and a person would have less irritation from using these products.
As a woman who lives in Texas where summer temps reach 110 degrees, the musky Cooch is all too familiar in public bathrooms. It’s sweat... it’s “normal”. I have found carrying extra undies, a water bottle with the pop nozzles on top, and antiperspirant or aluminum free deodorants really help. Unless you are lucky enough to just not sweat it’s going to be an issue when you are going on day 14 of temps over 100 degrees 🤷♀️
Melanin Magic - I do love her voice! Her voice has the same effect as Morgan Freeman's voice; soothing, warm and very trustworthy! 😍 Thank you for the information sister! 😍👏👍
I wouldn't recommend spraying anything in the vaginal area or using any powders. I'm a gym brat, so with all the sweating in my area what I find to work best is using Apple Cider Vinegar and keeping pubic hair cut very short. I use Apple Cider Vinegar between thighs and buttocks too. I use this method 2 - 3 times a day depending on event or what I'm doing, and I don't smell myself...it works, and yes, in case you are wondering I wash entire vaginal area with it. Mix half in a bottle with half water for own convenience.
Thank you. I dont wear any cotton panties and when I workout I noticed I could smell my couch more with the sweat. Im going to try this remedy and Ive got to basically purchase all new underwear since none of them are cotton, no wonder.
So I do this every morning when I woule shower and yes I didn't smell myself and it worked except when I was in the gym, the smell of apple cider vinegar was coming from me as I was doing squats, lunges and for me it was an unpleasant smell of sourness while working out. I dont use this anymore and what I realized is that when I do sweat down their in the gym, it isnt a foul smell. I am always so paranoid and just need to be okay with what sweat smells like coming off my body.
Your idea on the antiperspirant on the bikini line works! Thank you. My hygiene was on point, and I wear cotton underwear-but Id get that musty smell just being active or working out. I knew I didnt have any internal infections. No other symptoms. A light application of antiperspirant on the bikini line addressed the problem 100 percent. Thanks again.
Some people do not wash their southern region appropriately. You'd be surprised how many people do not take the time to thoroughly cleanse crevices and creases, which are the areas that the bacteria hides in. My daughter is 9 and I still go in the bathroom when she showers to make sure she is washing the right way.
Jasmine Smitg Yes ma'am!!! All that hand washing is for hands. Play if ya wanna, you need a wash cloth that's why they make them!! I got the cloth, the bristle brush with the handle and body scrub.
Amen. After I shower I lay on the bed with a washcloth and a mirror and clean the crevices all that soap and body wash running off your body gets trapped and can cause itching and odor. Another tip is to clean with a wet wipe or toilet paper foam after you pee urine residue causes odor as well.
I believe that a lot of people that suffer from the "musty cooch" is either not drinking enough water, or not washing good, or both. Some people's vagina may not stink, but when you go behind them to use the restroom it can smell pretty gross. I believe that's due to not drinking enough water. If you drink a lot of sodas then you could probably realize why you would have the "musty cooch". If you drink more water, and wash with the same soap consistantly, I can almost guarantee you that you won't have the "musty cooch" anymore. Also panty liners works wonders. They absorb the sweat, but you have to change them often. Some people sweat more than others down there, and that's ok. You just have to know your body, and what works best for you. I believe the basics works for everyone, and that is: stick to the same soap, drink plenty of water, use panty liners, wash really well, and ALWAYS wear COTTEN underwear. Also no soaps with strong scents, and I promise you won't have to worry about ever having a "musty cooch" again.
Valdrae Middleton yea I get it but I’m so tired of drinking all this water, there’s days when I’m really craving pop and I drop everything just to get it
Bobby-pins Santanessee well if you do decide to drink soda (which I don't recommend), make sure you drink a least a bottle of water behind it, so that you can flush all that sugar out of your system. Don't make it a habit and drink too much though. If you want something sweet, just drink 100% cranberry juice, Apple juice, or pineapple juice. These particular juices can help with that "musty cooch" smell also.
Audrey Branch Exactly! It's simple things like this that can make a big difference. I drink so much water that sometimes I over hydrate myself lol smh.
A couple of epson salt soaks in the week. Also a clay bath. A little another time. A little ACV with the mother. Alternate the baths each time. Cut and or shave the hair down (it doesn’t have to be bald). Also use plain Greek yogurt down there without all the sugar. Oh yeah yoni steams. Drink water and eat right those are my tips.
I hate when my pubic area is bald! I start having flash backs 2 when i was 10, wishing 4 hair! I'm a grown ass woman, & i want my pubic region 2 reflect that...tf?!
My coworkers use to laugh at me wen i bust out my wipes n deodorant spray..now they use it to..hell im a thick thigh big butt lady tht do security and those cheap ass security pants r not my friend and not sweat or odor resistant so i got do wat i gotta do to stay fresh during a work day or any day..im glad too see other ladies use the spray deodorant and wipes..i love my dove for my sensitive skin but ima try the green can..
I love your no soap recommendation. My Dr. taught me this years ago and I've not had yeast or bacteria since. I do not recommend the spray deodorant as the particles can travel. I recommend an all natural deodorant. 100% natural essential oils diluted with rosewater or coconut oil and rubbed into the skin are EXCELLENT. Fresh ginger or peppermint are best.
Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with this for a while and yesterday it hit a pivotal point where it was smellable from a bit of a distance away. It was embarrassing and made me feel absolutely ashamed. And the thing is, it only gets that way when I sweat and for some reason I’m sweating all the time without doing anything!
You can use coconut oil as well. I used it once when I ran out of deodorant and it worked very well. So now I use it in that region and under my breast.
Lol my muffin is Always musty when I’m working out or even after intercourse. Im just glad I’m not the only one who has problems down there I thought maybe because I was getting older but from reading the comments I’m really relief that I’m not the only one who has female issues .
Blessed2bemarried Happy and blessed hello love I just commented on this post, and wrote some things that I believe can also help you. It definitely works for me, so I just want to help some else. Be blessed hun.
While your video was useful and full of information, I think a lot of the comments have the term musty cooch confused with the inside of the vagina. She is referring to the skin surrounding the vagina, where your inner thigh meets your vag area. On hot days, that area can sweat and smell musty, like an underarm. Washing with soap helps of course and drinking water is great for the body, but that does not prevent that musty smell. Unfortunately, it does happen and it can be embarrassing for some women. Drinking water will NOT prevent your armpits from being musty ladies, and it won't prevent that area from sweating either. She made good points, I hope this video helps someone.
I love your kit my 84 year old mom has the same in case of bathroom accidents. I also carry a small bottle of essential oil in my kit. 2 drops in toilet before using it keeps the bathroom fresh when using it and when you flush
I switched to Native deodorant and use it under my boobs and on the areas you mentioned. It works great! I also use flushable wipes every time I use the bathroom. I rinse them out first, to rinse away the chemicals before using. Ever since I started that, I don't feel clean with just dry toilet paper.
Wow C B I think we're related!!! I started to do the same, and feel clean & fresh all day now 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Native deodorant is the BEST ever and the wipe-rinse-trick = Perfect!!!
I love this video! You kept it real and gave tips that I have used for years myself. I pray that no one was offended and will use this video for better feminine hygiene.
A scented oil in the bikini line and inner thigh is better than an antiperspirant. The scented oil allows you to sweat but the scent is of the oil (Patchulli; African musk; strawberry etc.,) Our body needs to be allowed to sweat away impurities.
I was always told growing up to use non-scented soaps in between my legs. Because using that fruity type of soap will just create an Oder. Some girls don't know that though. But we live in a day in age where wifi is everywhere, so if their mom isn't telling them, the doctor should. And it's easy to look things up these days.
In this day and age we have learned to not use soap at all! All you need is water on a rag. Clean the rag with non scented natural soap like Dr. Bronners before and after washing, but make sure all the soap is out of the rag before it touches your vagina. I promise you wont smell nothing when you get out the shower. I made the switch and wish i had known this a lonnng time ago. Your welcome 💜
Yep! Fragrances are not supposed to be used down there. Just a simple unscented liquid or bar soap & thoroughly rinsing with warm water is the way to go! And if there's an odor you can use a little ACV mixed with water. Also, eating leafy greens and drinking water cleans your body from the inside.
I never knew that. Honestly. 😩. I didnt have no mom growing up. I use dove but ive noticed that it gives me an odor and makes me dry. I need to get a soap that helps keep my moisture.
They said back in the day to use talcum powder....we see how that turned out. Please check with a gynecologist or dermatologist to see if using an aerosol spray is safe.
Black Queen: NO SPRAYS. YOU CAN USE A SOLID STICK DEODORANT AND USE ONLY ON THE INNER THIGHS AFTER A SHOWER. Shave some of the hair. You can wash with a little Baking soda and warm water mix it well.
I love thos video, i love how REAL she is being. Why can't most RU-vidRS be like this. People wanna sugarcoat this stuff. Like why??? Most people wanna sweep this stuff uder the rug and say its embarrassing to tlk about. This is not embarrassing, THIS IS LIFE SAVING. THE TRUTH IS BEAUTIFUL.
I find showering atleast 2x a day and wiping really good after peeing and using a wet wipe helps really well. Of course drinking lots of water and natural juices and eating fresh fruits are a plus & i always try to tell people i know do not douche. I was told when i was pregnant with my 1st son not to use them just properly washing and wearing comfortable underwear will keep you nice fresh & healthy down there.
Thanks sis! I've been doing this for years cause I'm a big girl. I also teach my daughter to do this. It's so important to take care of yourself and not offend others. I also use a mixture of baking soda, cornstarch and arrowroot for my own diy body powder. Inner thighs, bikini area, under arms and fat rolls. I stay powdered down and sprayed up. I refuse to smell or be super sweaty in this heat. Tfs😊
Kay Davis that's great but my partner doesn't like the powder taste and I have said that it keeps me fresh and confident. So what do you the morning after or for round 2 of sex and them giving you tongue pleasure? Seriously.
Using a glove of garlic up in that area really helps to eliminate any smell and it kills bacteria as well. I learned this on RU-vid several years ago. It seemed contrary to use garlic since it has a strong smell but when it’s up in that area it actually is like a nice freshener
Miss Elmyra I tell all my patients that and they, don't like it because it doesn't look nice in their bathroom....lol. I'm a physician assistant and Thank you.
Miss Elmyra you 60!!! You look at least 25. That is so true. I even tell my patience when you go to hotels that's all you see is white towels because of state regulations.
Mike 0355 25? Oh my! You are too kind!! Thank you! I've known for a long time that white towels are better! An added bonus is that you can use bleach in the wash. Call me crazy but I love white sheets too!!😄
I've noticed that as I get older I get less stinky. At in my twenties I was in the struggle with funk 2 baths a day bath and body works. I'm 31 I'm less smelly but I can say I don't drink sodas like I use to. Don't get me wrong I can get funky n stuff but now it's not a huge struggle like it use to with sweating.
You could use salt crystal deodorant down there after showering, but I prefer baking soda as a powder. Baking soda alters the ph level to alkaline (anti-cancerous), so it has an added benefit.
I use baking soda deodorant in my hair area. When I shower I scrub a good twenty times and open my lips up and let the water run on the inner area for about 2 to three minutes. I drink a lot of water during the day like 64ozs because I work a physical 10hrs a day. I keep my hair low down there because I sweat easily. I don't use sprays I can only use dove soap others gave me yeast infections. All those fruity smelling soaps and dyes I can't use. When I begin to sweat down there I go to the restroom and pat myself dry and check for any musty smells if any I use the cleansing wipes and deodorant and I'm good until it's time to go home and the first thing I do is shower. What's funny is that I don't sweat under my arms but I do every where else.
I stay waxed under my arms and my private areas (Brazilian waxing gets all the hair out of that area...front and back). I wash regularly and I use feminine sprays and deodorant. Keep feminine wipes too. Powder helps as well.
Yes very good info I hate going in a bathroom stall after someone and the smell is horrible also don't forget to clean the Belly Button that holds a lot of dirt and bacteria
A solid antiperspirant in the creases of your thigh works wonders! Just a quick swipe, and above your belly or under any fold that sweats. I put a dab under my breast too, to hold down the moisture in the summer. Buy one of the small sample sizes is Walmart or dollar tree and keep in your bag. I use baking soda and unrefined organic coconut oil to make a paste for under arms or just a light dusting or sprinkle of baking soda under my arms. Holds down the smell that comes from bacteria feasting on our sweat. Wish someone would’ve had this conversation with me when i was younger. Thought i was doomed with a dreaded musk gene or something! Will def share this w/ my daughters. However, I disagree with using an aerosol down there, although you are just spraying in the creased area. I still question the ingredients in these deodorants but the solid (however isn’t any different ingredient wise), seems safer because you can put it exactly where u need it to go versus spray flying everywhere. And the Equate brand of feminine wash and the towelettes work wonders too!
the best way I have found is a portable bidet!! I use to smell awful for a good chunk of my life 34 years to be exact now I just bidet after every bathroom trip whether pee or poop. it is def a little longer because you bidet which is quick but then you have to dry completely and I havent had issues in a long time!! but I noticed when I used toilet paper you are not cleaning you are just drying the peep on you but water removes the liquid pee and you are all good!! and that way Dif toilet paper particles isn't sticking to ur vagina or butt and causing the chemicals on the toilet paper to react with ur pee or poo and causing u to smelly really badly!
I use lemon all the time. I take half a lemon in the shower with me at least 3 times a week. I scrub under my arm and down there. I leave a little juice to add under my arm with my deodorant and rub on my va jj. No problems. I always wash my body as if i am going to the doctor. Or as though i will have my man's nose all in there. No problems.
I'm with you. I wash my body everyday like I'm going to see my Dr.. I also use white vinegar in my bath to wash my vagina to prevent smelling like garbage.. Also ladies should take time do not rush wash thoroughly.
Love your informative message! However, I wouldn't recommend " wearing no panties" even with a maxi dress/ skirt. All women have vaginal secretions or possible leakage, depending on your age. It would be embrassing to have a smear or stain on the back of your garment, on leave one on a seat or cushion. No one should want to have something happen that could be avoided, just because you're " airing out"!! LOL ...Just saying.....
I have never stained a dress or cushion or anything lol I pay close attention to my cycle and k ow when my secretions are intensified and any time I feel the need I attend to it in a restroom. Airing out is a necessity for all of your skin so this is a very good idea but its preferred to air out at night or when ur home unless u are a no panties type of gal.
Eeeeek... I admit it, I'm neurotic & now you've got me thinking about a few friends of mine that have said they go commando... I'm gonna ask them to refrain from sitting on any of my furniture w/o their own provided extra protection! 😬
@@DamiensWife52805 lmao unless they are naked I really dont see the difference. Wearing lace panties isn't a big difference from commando under jeans or even a dress. But I see the point, especially if u have fabric upholstered furniture 😬
Lemon or aloe vera helps with odors too. Rub a lemon wedge under arms or dilute with water if you're sensitive. Clear aloe gel is great as a moisturizer and under arms
I love the way my wife muf smells its always fresh for me and it has a very very light musky smell that turns me dafuq on i mean just a hint of her muf smell and im face deep in it...i think every man likes that slight musky scent
Thank YOUUUU!!! FULL ON LEZ HEREEE AND THIS IS MEDia bs...if its tooo overwhelming like well..tarter sauCe etc smell and taste well..work out together and eat better, both relati0nship partners and encourage one another! Wmn SMELL GOOD!!! 😚😚😚
I'm sorry sister, but antiperspirants are not good for any part of our body because they contain aluminum. Aluminum has been linked to cancer. I've had a "musty" cooch after workouts and it's not because I don't properly wash and clean. The thing that works for me is coconut oil. I apply it to my mons pubis area and creases before a workout and have NO musty smell. It's natural. No negative side effects. Hope this helps. Peace and Blessings!
I started using an antiperspirant after a stripper friend recommended it. I use that on super hot Vegas days or a natural deodorant if I’m just staying at home or it’s winter. Love this video lololl. Basic ideas but surprisingly so many young women aren’t taught this
Shay Thomas yeah, I think I read that somewhere also. A lot of conflicting information out there. Seriously, I wish a scale of "normal" to not so normal scent levels could be replicated by a perfumer so that women could know what's normal & what scent is conducive to something's not quite right down there.
Yes it's normal, a lot of women out here thinking vaginas aren't supposed to have a smell, every woman has a smell!! It's unique to her. But if its rank, foul and fishy, that's when you have a problem, coochie should smell like coochie. I hate how the world has women feeling they have to have these perfect pristine vaginas that smell like roses and sunsets...no one smells like that naturally
My man complains about me removing the hair and he said men like the musky smell so they can sniff their top lip all day while your away. Not sure how true it is but my man love it. Freaky ass!
I thought about using Mitchum .....but antiperspirants contain aluminum I believe...which some associate with breast cancer........so I avoid using antiperspirants atop the vaginal region, creases etc.......
Deih Jah that's a great point. I recently switched to Schmidt's natural deodorant. No aluminum or propylene glycol. They haven't created a spray yet, gotta improvise
appreciate the video but please know that your diet, what you ingest has a huge influence on your body odor! When i was drinking heavily and eating a lot of processed foods i had odor. But once i started drinking more water and cut back on the snacks and liquor it went away.
So, I really have to let you all know how much I LOVE you all for your support, subscriptions, great feedback, emails, comments...I am in awe of it all. You all are so amazing. I’ll be uploading another video soon, catching up with you guys. Stay close 😘 Love, Lee Marie
I don't have much hair down there and it's really soft and nice so I don't shave. Use Vagisil odor block wash and powder. Fds spray is good also. Only use mild light scented body wash. Try not to use soaps. Take showers over baths.
bettinaivory28 I disagree women need to soak sometimes showering is not good enough. I start off showering to get the oil and dirt off my body then when the water rinsed clear I plug the tub up and soak. I don't get yeast infections from doing this. After a women has a bowel movement she needs a shower and needs to soak.
i found my laundry detergent wasn't really adequate for my undergarments, I shared washing my underwear separately (according to colour as well) and adding detol laundry cleanser, if you like in the UK you can get it in the stores, for us inhabitants it's available on Amazon, such a difference x
I am hairless due to laser hair removal and the only way I am musty free is if I use dial or anti bacterial soap. I take at least 2 showers a day & do bentonite clay every two days. I can’t use deodorant spray or powder in my vagina because it causes infections so I just use lemon & it works
Good video! you can also rub some apple cider vinegar in your pubic areas as well to help with odor. When its bona fide hot outside and I anticipate I be sweating I put deodorant all up and through there and also under breast.
guacgirl another handy trick is to get cornstarch formula baby powder and use it,on a freshly cleaned,and exfoliated body that's been dried fully. Antiperspirant and deodorant. It's always a good idea to be as fresh,clean,and put together as you can be.trust me. Ain't no damn body gonna hire nobody who smells rank as hell. It's not going to happen. So sorry about it. If,for some reason, you can't take a shower,bath,ECT. Use a baby wipe. Alcohol prep pads.wet naps.a damp rag.do something about the situation. No,piling up with fragrance on top of body odors is not helping the situation.
A lil dab of homemade essential oil deodorant, kills those stinky bacteria too. Be sure your skin is not sensitive to it. Lavender is a pretty good one.
Long time ago I asked my older cousin for deodorant &she advised me not to use her spray (which is the one I'd preferred). She said because she uses it down below, my facial expression must've spoke a thousand words because she then asked... "u know how u get that 'musty' odor in the groin area?" I was like,.. no. I thought it was just her, I didn't think it was an actual thing
Thank-you.....I appreciate and respect a vid like this as opposed to sitting around talking about the lady you went in behind after in the restroom. I'm very sensitive in my private areas but work hard to keep it clean and not offensive to others. I'm always checking to make sure I'm fresh BC vaginal odor is not cute!
I honesty use a anti perspiration deodorant(powder) under my boobies, and under my feet when working out saved a lot...try the spray on the inner thighs..it really works🙌🏾...been doing the stay fresh bag since 94! Thank u for sharing!
🎉I shave hair down there.....I use lemons and lemon juice with wipes in purse....keep in purse buy small lemon juice to keep in purse works like a charm.🎉 My grandmother always stood by cotton panties #CottonpantiesAreBest
White cotton wash cloths clean your girly bits first in the shower.. dove white non scented bar soap .. flushable wipes in between showers and cotton panties. Always shave clean , drink a lot of water Viola. Sprays and scents not necessary ..
So because deodorant and cancer is a thing.... what can really help is attacking the issue internally, by drinking fresh lime water every morning. Works like a charm.
Love the FYI. Yes there are so many types of washes and sprays on the market. (FDS) (SUMMERS EVE) (Massengil)(Vagasil) too many to name google it. Its all good. Guy are Welcome too. We love our brothers. Each one teach one. There are (Balding clippers) a fantastic investment. No worries.
Also using soap with fragrance or parfum in it would result to musky cooch..talking from experience. Just avoid any parfum products if you are using it down there tbvh
