How do you tell a woman when in bed that her vagina smells?
SexNot only that but she may actually have a health condition, maybe even a tampon she forgot to remove, who knows. Out of medical concern you should tell her.
The tampon thing happened to me once. It was one of the most humiliating things I’ve ever experienced. And the BV was BAD.
I'm glad it's not just me. I was SO embarrassed. Never told a soul.
OMG, I thought I was beginning to have dementia! Like who forgets a tampons! Thank you for this post!
Bacterial Vaginosis?
Yes.
How does this happen? How do you forget you have a tampon in? 😭 I just ran across a post about 20 minutes ago, of others saying the very same thing.. how “it was like fishing a dead rodent out of my cooch.” Like whaaat? 😭
I thought I had one in, but I couldn’t find the string anywhere. So I assumed I had taken it out. I put a new one in and it pushed the old one up. I couldn’t feel it because they weren’t side-by-side. My period ended, I took out the last tampon, and that was it. I had no idea there was one lodged up in me. two weeks later, someone else found it during a romantic liaison.
That is super scary 😩
Me too
Weird how simple this would be if op could actually do that without the help of reddit
Op is likely being sensitive to her emotions - good on them for checking
People love to imagine that every human is just like them. They forget we are individuals with our own personalities. To me telling someone after one date that their vagina smells would be harrowing. That's regardless of how honest or good for her that is. Heck I'd struggle to say that to someone I already have a bit more than a single date.
On the other side of this, some people would receive a comment like this and be grateful, some might die of embarrassment, others might become angry and aggressive.
There isn't one size fits all in relationships. It's always about the personalities involved.
Agreed, this is some messed up ish. What would you do if there was no Reddit. You could ask Google then we all wouldn’t be all up in you all business. Damn!
Google gets its answers from other sites. Such as Reddit. Like when people answer questions, like here.
By time she realizes there's an issue she's going to think he caused it.
Just give it the old 'Babe, your minge stinks.'
Agreed. Odor can be caused by all sorts of things including medication. She'd probably fix it if OP was just honest.
No, bottle it in. Then when you can't take it anymore, yell that to her at a public place like when you're on a date and you have an argument.
Definitely tell her, because who would want to have sex with that!
On the other hand, be prepared to never have sex with that again after you tell her!
that
Such a needlessly dehumanising way to talk.
Best answer
Come from a place of concern, “I’m worried you may have an infection that needs some doctoring.” “How do you know?” “The smell is off.”
There, no judgment, just concern. Win win.
This is the way. You don't have to tell her she smelled horrible to you. Just tell her that it was a bit off. I mean, I can smell when people have their periods, and I have never been inside a vagina with my nose... Every woman knows a vagina has healthy and 'off' smells...
You are not a jerk for not wanting to go down on someone with a bad smell... It is kinda jerkish to just ghost her after having been intimate with her. That is ALWAYS a jerk move to do. Just put your EMPATHIC big boy pants on and nicely tell her 'Hey, maybe get checked by a doctor, something smelled off'.
Brother, you must ALWAYS perform the "subtle" smell test prior to diving in. Pulling away once you are down there is awkward AF.
During the make-out sesh, you finger her thoroughly (make sure to dip the finger in there). Then, start kissing her neck and reach around her body/neck area with that hand/finger and sniff it very subtly as you continue to kiss/nuzzle her neck.
Or, if you are kissing/sucking a boob/nipple (pick a side), bring your hand up containing the finger sauce to the unoccupied tit. When you move your mouth over to that boob, you can subtly sniff your finger without making it obvy because that hand is already on that tit.
What we have here is a pro.
Mans gave away two of the hidden techniques in one post
May I provide a third. Use the first technique, but instead of the finger under your nose, casually and subtly place the finger under her nose and gauge the reaction. It is more risky on your part in the case where she may be used to it. This case works when it is real rank saving you 100%. Works every time.
Crap..I should have read down as there was the same response. I’ll foot note it. Or finger note it. Whatever it takes.
Go on tell us more, don’t stop now.
Profile icon fits your comment 😂
better yet put the hand with finger sauce by her face or close enough so she can maybe smell it herself. hopefully she can figure it out.
pretend you're giving her a hitler moustache to avoid making it awkward.
I like to rub it across her forehead and say “SIMBA”.
And then start to lift her and show her to the world
I have actually done this Multiple times To multiple women Both theirs and mine
It’s fucking hilarious (for both of us) every time.
Nahhhh hahaha
Ugh. Am I the only one who would be completely turned off by that? I can’t stand the smell of (a perfectly healthy) vag. And twice had a guy think it was a good idea to stick those fingers in my mouth. No thanks - I’m outta there.
Everyone likes their own brand. If you are repulsed by the scent/taste of your own vagina, you should probably have that checked out.
See the doc on the regular. Everything’s fine thanks. And no, not everyone.
No. They really don't. Can be perfectly healthy and clean and not want your own fluids in your face. I know a ton of women that absolutely will not kiss a guy after he goes down on them.
This guy fucks
“Finger sauce” I’m fucking dead!☠️☠️☠️
Finger sauce. You guys are the worst.
Weird seeing a comet/unicorn on Reddit.
The replies to this are typical reddit fashion.
Good stuff.
Always have to take a quick sniff with my fingers before sending my guy down there to put in the work. Quite a few times, I just had to walk away. The smell was too much 🤢
How does the girl react???? I gotta know more...
I could care less on their reaction. You don't want to be exposing your little friend down there to a potential STI or STD. I mean, two times I noticed we were all into it and when i caught a quick sniff of it with my fingers I just said "I gotta go" they just had this wtf look on their face. I'm sure at some point just like a guy, they know when their own private area reeks if no proper hygiene is practice.
I take it a step further. After my initial smell test comes up with a ‘2319 red alert!’, I try to keep my hands somewhere near her face while making out or whatever. I want her to be able to smell it before she tries to ask me to go down on her.
Not all heroes wear capes.

This guy sniffs

Pro move
Maybe I should switch to this technique instead of my usual 8" length of garden hose in the cooter.

I was that trooper too. Turned out to be chlamydia, I didn't know that you can end up with it in your mouth, throat and stomach. Now the attitude is if it ain't good enough to eat, it ain't getting done.
This guy sniffs….
This is the way
Haaaaa as a female I love this. My go to is a lil warm up HJ. While he’s distracted w a mouth full of titty I’ll subtly smell my hand.
😂😂😂😂😂😂

If its long term she’s prob nose blind to it.
She may have a poor sense of smell.
Boric acid suppositories.
A bit?? Dude backed off in an instant 😭😭 shit if this is a bit then wtf is a strong odor😂
I’m a very anxious person so I figured everybody would be anxious about their hygiene as well.
Are you kidding me that a man should say “your PH balance is off” gtfo
I would say you actually DON’T tell her in bed. You have a conversation with her outside of the bedroom where you address it with her.
Yeah, kinda too late at that point. Not a great moment for the conversation.
If adults can't have a discussion about hygiene.. shouldn't be adulting.
Pretty much guaranteed after work day, every vagina will smell. Between urine, and natural incubator.. no way around it..
Just tell her, and dont be an ass about it.
But there’s such a thing as “BV” which most women leave untreated because they think that smell is normal
Yes I’ve literally asked my boyfriend to tell me if anything even seems slightly off. I won’t be offended (as long as he’s not an ass about it) because I want to get it treated
We don’t think it’s normal. The beginning stages of an infection often smell identical to natural mild changes in odor that occur during our cycle. This change in odor isn’t dramatic or even bad and it usually corrects itself within a few days. Sometimes a woman acclimates to the faint difference and the infection brews, resulting in an odor that’s tucked away inside of our bodies. That infection scent is often inaccessible to us until something is repeatedly inserted into our vagina and removed (sex or masturbation), which is why we often don’t notice until we’re being intimate with someone.
To make matters worse, getting a round of antibiotics to treat a known infection will often result in a new infection later on. The antibiotics completely clear out all of the bacteria, creating a more hospitable environment for an imbalance or overgrowth to occur.
Many infections will have no detectable symptoms until they become severe, yet we have no way to check short of having lab work done or inserting something, taking it out and then smelling it. Even the act of inserting a foreign sanitary object (including penises) can result in an infection.
Vaginas are extremely fickle and difficult to monitor because our heads aren’t usually in between our legs.
Definitely not most women. Some, yes. It should stop being a taboo…
When i read stuff about smelly genitals, i can't help to think about the middle ages or Renaissance? Not sure. But they were bathing like......VERY rarely, no modern toilet paper, no sanitary pads, people wearing the same underwear for days etc. And, they dived into it anyway. I can only imagine the saucy mess down there, it churns my stomach. It truly was a period of crass.
I remember reading something about how the in the victorian days the upper class was just caked in perfume to cover up the smells.
It's kinda nightmarish to think about..
Kinda reminds me of "Ring around the Rosies.":
<chatgpt>
The song "Ring Around the Rosie" is a nursery rhyme and playground singing game that has uncertain origins but is often associated with the Great Plague of London in 1665-1666. The lyrics vary slightly in different versions, but a common version goes:
"Ring around the rosie, A pocket full of posies, Ashes, ashes, We all fall down."
The interpretation linking it to the plague suggests:
"Ring around the rosie" refers to the rosy rash that was a symptom of the plague.
"A pocket full of posies" refers to people carrying posies (small bouquets of flowers or herbs) to ward off the smell of the disease, which was thought to spread the plague.
"Ashes, ashes" could refer to the cremation of plague victims or the ashes left behind after burning infected homes or belongings.
"We all fall down" signifies death or the collapse of society during the plague outbreak.
</chatgpt>
People were so fucked up back then...jeez.
<chatgpt></chatgpt>
is that a new html tag? :D
Haha, just wanted a way to separate chatgpt vs my own thoughts 😅
haha, i think it should be implemented in the html standards, let's ask the w3c! :D
I recently heard that there is a letter written by Henri IV, who was king of France from 1589 to 1610, where he tells one of his mistresses that he'll come visit her in 3 weeks and that she should stop bathing until then.
Apparently dirty coochie is better ?
I read that it was Napoleon to his wife.
Maybe him too. Maybe it was a thing for a long time.
Josie with the stinky cat......
Yeah, but they also didn't have plastic-based underwear preventing breathability. A lot of smell issues are caused by BV which is the result of an anaerobic environment.
I think that’s one of like 30 potential causes of BV
This is what I think about when my gf puts on Bridgerton…..
Just be upfront. We all have smells and odors. Ghosting her is cruel.
I may argue saying your vagina stinks is cruel lol.
Its a tough one lol
It's better to tell them though so they can get it checked
It's either hygiene or an infection, either way, she should know so she can get it checked out.
I don't let anyone go down on me without a pretty recent shower and at least doing a sniff test on myself using my finger. I'm pretty serious about vag and butt hygiene, though. As someone who has sensory issues with smell, I wouldn't be able to tolerate someone giving me oral without knowing things are reasonably fresh.
I wish there were a million people saying "Well Duh, everybody does that"
If you’re not tryna see her again just say “yo ngl u gotta lil stench down there, I’d check that out” if u wanna see her again say “hey I didn’t know how to tell you this but you had a bit of an odor last time I was there”
nicely, and not while in bed. save it for after and take a soft approach.
This is a fear of mine and why I constantly do a smell test and clean thoroughly. I will not be known as the girl with the smelly vagina.
20 years ago I got terrible strep throat this way. I'll never forget the sensation of burning hot sand the next day.
Tell her no lick without a shower. If you can't communicate with her in this way, you probably shouldn't be having sex.
I think you have to spin it in a positive light. Like if it was some strong fromage, and you are a cheese connoisseur. Ah, mademoiselle, jaime le fromage avec de puissance.
lmfaooo
Might make things weird, but just tell her. I had to tell a bf his stuff smelled really bad once, and suggested that he needed to clean up his diet and drink more water or something and it was definitely uncomfortable but he started to work on it - and it’s better to know the real reason your partner is avoidant than to make up reasons in your own head. Idk, but I’d want to know. Even if it makes it too awkward for the two of you to keep seeing each other, you’re potentially setting up her next relationship for better success.
“Damn, yo pussy stink!”
🤣💀
This girl is gonna be one of those girls who posts “guy ghosted me after sex why do all guys just want to fuck”
Shower with her and warm her up in the shower.
If it smells that bad a shower won't solve it. Likely bacterial vaginosis requiring antibiotics.
Good luck sailor
I just told her straight up. Turned out she had bacterial vaginosis….yikes.
Plug your nose with one hand and point emphatically at her box with the other
Depends on what kind of smell it was. Vaginas smell different depending on where she is in her cycle. There’s nothing you can do about it so it’s not worth mentioning. If it was an unhygienic smell like she didn’t shower or she has an infection then you should probably say something. If it smells fishy like an infection, then definitely bring it up as a concern for her health. If it smells dirty like she doesn’t shower or didn’t wipe well, then… consider if you really even want to be with an unhygienic person. Either way, I encourage you to be kind and gentle about it
Non chalantly say "let's go have some fun in the shower." And then be prepared to spread and scrub your asshole in a fun way. And try to do hers next.
Tell her why you are avoiding her. Either way, ghosting or telling her the truth, she is gonna make you the bad guy.
Last time it smelled like that for me I got chlamydia
You may not smell so fresh either on a hot day... just saying. Sometimes people go nose blind th their own scents. Also for women certain times of the month are less fresh than others. Just have a convo, start it with asking if you smell fresh and segway into "because I noticed a strong odor last time and I just really like you but it was a little bothersome"
Just a heads up: A Segway is one of those stand-up scooter things. Segue is the spelling you're looking for.
Or “I really like you, but I think you might want to get that checked out”
Don't tell her in bed!
I just told her one day.
Hey, sometimes you have a smell. I didn't mention that it was in bed because I don't want her making rhat association and being self-conscious in bed.
She knew and took steps to fix it. Now, it's not often a problem in bed.
Not often ?
Can you sing?
Shit brother ....my dick can't smell ...lol
if it could you'd use condoms more often
It smelled and you stuck it out? God damn that’s dedication.
Tell her.
Just encourage a shower together before. Or say you wanna shower and ask...you guna have one? Lol....id take the hint lol
Muskie or pike? Halibut a blob fish? Yukon get over it it ain't the worst case Ontario? Nah this bad behaviour. I'll have Nunavut.
You finger her, then pull her face in for a kiss with that hand. She’ll get it.
Play her smelly cat from friends. Obviously she will just get the hint.
Just leave the bed ok. She will get to go to sleep😂
Same way you just did here by telling them directly.
Tell her it smells like gas station sushi!
Just tell her her pussy stinks lol
It’s not a hygiene issue if it is that bad. It’s a health issue. Just let her know you noticed and concerned it’s indicative of something that should be treated.
Okay invasive question but OP are you A. A guy? And B. Engaged in penetrative sex? Often times that can mess up her PH levels and lead to that.
This is probably bacterial vaginosis. Tell her she needs to see a gynecologist because it smelled unusual and you’re concerned she may have some sort of infection. Unfortunately there’s no nice way to say it
Yah. "help me, O B Gyne, you're my only hope!" (couldn't stop myself)
Too many different possible causes - I wouldn't even eliminate long Covid.
Meanwhile' it's neither an excuse for shaming nor something to be dismissed.
Don't do it while you're in bed
👆🏾
At least, not until after you've had your jollies. Say something afterwards, right before rolling over and going to sleep.
You've gotten to know your couch pretty well over the years haven't you.
This is my wife; my muse, my flame.
I had this encounter recently. I slowly came up and told her straight up. She was super embarrassed and it completely killed the mood.
I don’t regret it. If there’s one acceptable standard, it’s proper hygiene.
Dude this happened to me once and I couldn't keep going so I left the room and slept on her couch that night. I needed a ride from there the next day. I washed my hands with everything I could find and the smell would not go away for like 3 days. I even tried vodka. I found out later that it wasn't the first time this happened to her as she was my roommate's girlfriend's best friend. I never told her anything and just said I wanted to remain friends
You're a champ for not running away
Wow so you all are talking about her vagina behind her back? Who needs enemies with friends like these..
You act like women don't discuss men's genitals behind their backs dude.. get over yourself. This is normal. I didn't WANT to do it but when I'm being grilled as to why I didn't sleep with her, it came out. They all thought it was a done deal when I was going to spend the night at her place.
No I'm saying that if that was my friend with the fishy vagina, I'd TELL her instead of gossiping about it. You say her best friend knows but doesn't tell her. That's just shitty behavior.
Maybe it's because I'm from Europe, I don't know. But I would 100% tell my friend so people DON'T discuss her stinky vagina.
It's not about the guys vs girls. It's the fact that she stinks and apparently people talk about that behind her back but no one tells her so she can act on it.
If you smell THAT BAD you definitely know it.
Women talk about men all the time and the reverse is offensive time to grow up and clean that pussy damn.
If you’re doing some casual date out of the blue jump into bed you gotta finger smell test. I would see her again, suggest a little bath or shower romp and if still bad just be honest but nice.
As a woman this blows my mind. How does she not know? I know my I smell like at all times…I mean how can you not unless you don’t have a sense of smell. Not being rude, Genuinely curious.
HAWK TUAH you spit on that thang
Whenever I have info I need to talk about and I think it’s going to cause offense I Invent a parallel story to ease the message. You are just relaying info about someone else who had BO.
Generally this will make her self conscious and asked “do I have a smell?” “Not usually but a few times I noticed a smell. Nothing horrible but I figured you hadn’t bathed recently and shrugged it off”
Ok now you communicated her smell problem in a non direct manner. You want to create concern about her smell without being threatening. You want her thinking about it as a hygiene item.
When you go out again if she hasn’t figured anything out then you need to just be direct.
That's disgusting
My ex had a tattoo of a sea shell on her inner thigh. If you put your ear up to it, you could smell the ocean.
I'm not gonna sugar coat this...
It’s usually her nose, but we’re all built differently I guess
Your vagina smells
Why would you continue to go for it? That could be a symptom of nasty crap. Normally just a ph problem but I wouldn't take that chance. F that.
I told a woman once and she ghosted me.
Same thing happened with another that had bad breath.
I told them directly without any real intention of offending them, I mean... we are already naked having sex, what's the problem with being honest?
Let's take a shower together!
When you get ready to go down her. Stop. Look her in the eye. Stand up. Start a bath/shower. Hand her a wash cloth, soap, and a towel. Or just tell her.
If you are into dating her them Tell her you'd like to go slower and before any more sex you'd prefer to exchange recent sex health reports. Maybe she just needs a checkup,
Just say it honestly but gently and understandably
Hey she might not know. Pretty sure its not intentional.
As people said, jus tell her u felt her u felt a lil funny when u went down on her.
If she a nice person & got a good body why dump her for something that can be fixed? That jus a temporary setback .
Would u prefer going after qomen who play with ur head, time ,money or rather a good catch?
You show her this post and ask how she cleans her self. You can add a comment telling, wow do OTHER woman don't clean their cave?
Some people has a stronger parfume;)
Sweat happens. Just suggest a shower or say you like a clean plate.
Simple solution: lick it then kiss her.
You need to find the nicest way possible to tell her because you’ve already ghosted her not too long after sex.
- Please don't go down on her if she smells this way I understand that not everyone smells the best, especially after like a workout or whatever or a long date and it's hot outside yk? but if it's that off, it's either bad hygiene or an infection and you don't want that in your mouth. Please don't "stick it out" next time. Thats not safe..
Just mid thrust just go sp there was the blind man right? If ya knkw ya knk and also if u haven't th3 /fuckimold a check chz u belong there with the rest of us
I would use hand puppets or learn the art of ventriloquism and have the dummy doll tell her. This way you're off the hook.
There is nothing worse than being face to face with a skunk pussy. It’s seriously the most vile smell.. I’ve been in that situation before. The smell was so nauseating that it turned me off from sex for months.
Take an audible whiff and gag very loudly.
A trooper and pulled through? 😭
Invite her over and give her a pussy shampoo
just ghost
"Your vagina smells"
We seem to have a dead animal in bed with us
I told a woman I previously slept with she had an odor because it stunk up her very small studio apartment. I was tactful and tried to make it a story about someone else and she realized I was talking about her.
She got angry blocked me and that was that. I wasn’t planning on sleeping with her again before I told her she was pushing as to why I stopped, We weren’t sexually compatible (she had no oral skills and her sexual experience I later found out was basically one nighters where guys just bent her over and pounded her while she was drunk and or high, she had a body and was very tight but had I know I wouldn’t have slept with her if I had known of her sexual actions she was an std risk anddddd she apparently didn’t like to shower very often)
In her mind if she could be bent over the smell wasn’t a big thing, thing is I wasn’t drunk, the smell was bad since there are men who will fuck anything smell or not…
Some women cannot handle the truth and even if they know they will ignore it.
The only point I got to make is that you KNEW that you didn't know.
Why don’t you just tell her you’re dating someone or you don’t think you two are compatible rather than ignoring her calls and texts?
So you’re recommending just to lie?
If the alternative is him just ignoring her calls/texts because he doesn’t know how to tell her about the smell, then yes. You don’t know what mental state she is in and what effect ghosting can have on a person. He sounds like he thinks it’s funny.
Your last sentence is an assumption. Telling the person you’re actually dating someone and you had sex with them.. probably worse? Grow the fuck up and tell them if you want to see them again or tell them sorry not interested.
He said it was a casual date… they aren’t “dating”. Typically when someone is going on dates they aren’t exclusive with that person. Yeah, exactly he should grow the fuck up and not just avoid someone because they smell bad. But if he’s not going to be honest the least he could do is text her SOMETHING.
My last sentence wasn’t an assumption. The tone of his post is very insensitive and shows no remorse for ghosting.
How can you interpret a tone from words on a screen? You said to tell the person “you’re dating someone” which means he would have been actively dating someone and slept with her.
By dating someone, meaning he found someone else he was more interested in. “How can you interpret a tone from words on a screen?” Don’t play dumb. The way he worded his post, that he refuses to see her again and is ignoring her calls/texts shows his mindset. He’s ghosting her over a smell and doesn’t have the common decency to say anything. Saying SOME excuse is better than saying nothing at all. You’re unnecessarily argumentative.
I’m not playing dumb. I’m not making an assumption about someone’s remorse here. I don’t see lying as anything better than ghosting, but that’s just me. Not into excuses. If you can’t say it then say nothing
I don’t need to know everyone’s life story to infer peoples attitude form an internet post. I can only go by the words that he wrote, which shows him to be insensitive towards women. Looking on his profile he’s also bragging about how many women he’s slept with. I still stand by opinion :) ghosting is one of the worst things you can do to someone. If you don’t like my opinion, too bad, so sad!
You're cooked homie. Theres no coming back from telling a girl her vj smells bad. No matter how nicely, from a place of care and concern, with her health as your priority, etc. There's just no way she doesn't get super weirded out and never talks to you again. Don't get me wrong, i think you should do it, for her benefit, just make sure you have the proper expectation going into it that it's probably over as soon as you say the words.
....You know what, I'll give you a 1% chance of success that she cleans up her vj and doesn't kick you to the curb. If that happens, you should marry her.
That the most sicking smell in the World.
Just febreeze her up before you eat it I dunno 🤷
Say nothing and indicate nothing. Let the smell develop further, so that it can be used in war. Also, BE A MAAAANNNNN!
I would do what you’re already doing 😄 that’s the next dudes problem.
Just grow a pair and tell her? This is the best way, she might apologise, get it checked out and then ur sorted. If ahe gets defensive and refuses then you stop seeing her.
Ignoring her here is the worst thing because it makes you look like a dick
