So of course at the end of your cycle your blood is darker (old blood), but as my cycle is ending I can smell the blood through my jeans. Does anyone else have or have had this issue? If so how do you get rid of the smell. It only smells at the end of my cycle. On the first 2 days of my cycle I bleed heavier but not too heavy and there’s never a smell. And no I’m not leaving my pad on too long or my tampon in too long. I change often. My flow last about 4-5 days then just drags on to like 7 days with the old blood. It’s not enough to wear a pad or tampon...more like a panty liner. I know if I can smell myself others can. Once the bleeding is completely over everything is back to normal. So is there a vitamin or something that can help?
