Discuss woodwrker's answer to: Wife smells

That is a hard to thing to confront your wife about. I can't even imagine how embarrassed and humiliated a female would be to be told that. Is it constant? Or do you think she has a yeast infection? But what I can tell you things that will help the smell. Eating strong foods like onions, garlic, fish, and all kinds of junk food will increase odor "down there" just as if it would to your breath. Douching is not recommended by gynecologists. It clears away the good bacteria, and can cause an infection as well. When she's in the shower she needs to avoid washing her area with any scented soaps or body wash. That causes irritation which can equal, yet again an infection. Hot water and friction in the shower is all the cleaning it needs. Wiping front to back when using the bathroom is very important for women. Most do it opposite, and that spreads bacteria from the anus and vagina forward which is not good. I don't know how you could tell her these things, but I hope this can help :/
