Hey ladies... this is a pretty embarrassing post and I know none of you are gynos, or doctors, etc, but I'm just looking for advice or experience from others maybe.

Lately I've noticed that no matter how much I shower and wash my vagina, it smells. And not normal. I thought at first that it was BV or a yeast infection, but my discharge is normal, and there's actually a pretty light amount unless I've been outside or at work and have been sweating a lot.

I don't wear lacy underwear or thongs, etc. I wear "granny panties" that fit me and are fairly loose fitting. The bottoms I usually wear are shorts that aren't too tight because of my work. I can't wear anything "risqué", if that's the word I'm looking for. I work in a group home for the intellectually disabled and am constantly moving and doing something, and can wear what I want.

In the shower I never put soap inside my vagina. I wash my inner thighs and little soap on my labia because it is scented soap and I know it's not good to throw off the pH balance. I use Dove, which is supposed to be gentle. And no, I don't put lotion or anything on it.

My dog and my mom's dog are constantly stiffing at my vagina and my sisters have pointed it out. They make jokes like "ah, looks like you need to shower." I shower every day, at least once a day, most of the time twice.

I also don't shave. I wax every 6 weeks.

The smell doesn't go away even after I shower and I'm starting to get very embarrassed, confused and really just at a loss. If anyone has any advice, I'm willing to try anything.

Thanks in advance :)
