I'm young...curious...someone help! -sigh- Smells...

[curiosity]

Ok, I've got lots of questions! I'd really appreciate if someone would answer my thread...these questions are embarassing but worth asking.

My question #1/2 involves smells!
I know your vagina is supposed to smell, but wow, I get some strong odors! One kina smells like...uh...armpits teehee....sometimes its so strong i can smell it while going to the bathroom. The smells goes for quite a while after showering, etc. I have good hygiene, but why do I smell so strong? Is there anything I can do to prevent such smells?

I noticed that when I get hott or sweat, my breasts develop an armpitty smell too...thats when I have to wash my bras. It's embarassing because when making out with a hott senior, he decided to put his mouth on my breasts and i could smell and taste it when he kissed me after that.

I also need to know if it's normal to have small bumps on your lips[vaginal] (mine are like on the inside, when i spread my lips) they dont itch or hurt or anything...theyre just there...i asked my mom if it was normal..she said yeah, that she had em too....but is it? I'm pretty sure I don't have an STD, so what could it be? They kinda seem like pimples...i can squeeze them and a super small spot of white stuff comes out, hehe. Ah...embarassing...

Ok I'll take a stab at it.

It's normal for the vagina to have some odor.....but it shouldn't be so strong that it's overwhelmingly unpleasent. I guess I'd suggest if it's that bad definately get checked to see if you have an infection. Also I believe wearing cotton underware allows you to breathe and cuts back on the smell.

are you sure it's your breasts that smell and not your actual armpits? I believe that your diet can affect the way sweat smells so you might want to examine what you've been eating.

As for the lumps...hmm can't quite say that I've got lumps...let alone ones that leak a white substance....

Do you shave down there? If so then the little bumps could just be shaving induced pimples or ingrown hairs. I get those from time to time, nothing to worry about.

As for the other stuff. Cottan undies, deodorant, bathing daily, baby powder. Otherwise a trip to your OBGYN.

OH and don't freak so easily about people not posting responses to your questions just keep asking.
