The woman and her vagina!! Watermelon smells like watermelon, apple smells like apple, and the vagina smells like the vagina. The question is how does a good vagina smell? What are the remedies for a foul smelling vagina? Here are the things you need to know about how you should treat your vagina.

Most people believe that the vagina is some foul smelling and dirty organ, and this belief has caused a lot of females to be ashamed of, and uncomfortable with their vagina.

Dear woman, leave the flowers in the garden to smell like the flowers in the garden, allow your vagina to smell like 'herself'. Unless your vagina brings a very offensive odour which most times, is in a form of a fishy smell, you should have nothing to worry about.

How should you treat your vagina?

  1) Practice a good hygiene.

     • Have your bath at least twice in a day, especially on hot days. Endeavour not to go to bed sweating.

     • When you pee, always wash your vagina with just clean water.

      • Do not leave your sanitary pads or tampons for long. Endeavour to change them every four hours.

      • Do not dip unclean objects or fingers in the vagina. Wash your hands thoroughly if you have to dip it down there.

       • Change your pants everyday!

       • Do not keep unnecessary pubic hair. Those hairs down there trap sweat and can give off an offensive smell. Shave regularly.

       • Do not expose your vagina to dirty environments.

  2) Do not use harsh chemicals on your vagina

       •A healthy vagina already contains microorganisms called lactobacilli which help to maintain the pH acidic level of the vagina, hence, fight infection. In other words, your vagina cleanses 'herself'. You do not need to put harsh soaps down there, you do not need perfumes down there, you do not need douches down there, all you need is water! Harsh soaps or douches can alter the pH of the vagina, hence, infections can set in. Stay woke, ladies, don't use your money to buy harmful substances for your VeeJay, trust her to clean herself, all she needs is some water.

  3) Practice safe sex.

        •What comes to mind? To use condoms? Yes! But what type? The ones best for your body. Some people are hypersensitive to certain condoms. If your vagina doesn't feel comfortable after the use of a particular condom, then, you may want to check the counter for another type.

Flavoured condoms are not for your vagina! You stand a risk of having yeast infection if you use flavoured condoms for your vagina. Use them for oral sex.

       • Safe sex is not only about condoms, it is also about healthy sex.
Do not allow your partner dip a dirty finger inside your vagina, do not use unclean objects on the vagina, and be sure to have a partner with a clean mouth before you allow them give you a head.

4) Your vagina is what you eat

    •Avoid caffeine, it alters not only the smell but also the taste of your vagina.

    •Take enough fruits especially pineapple, cucumber and watermelon. Although, your vagina will not smell or taste like these fruits, but 'she' will have a more pleasant taste and smell.

    •Take enough water, it aids the hydration of the vagina.

6) Allow your vagina some breath

    •Do not wear tight pants, let your vagina have some air.

    •Wear pants with cotton fabric, it absorbs moisture than other fabrics

    •You do not need to wear pants all the time. At night, when you are sure you are safe, you can let go of the pant, let your vagina have some fresh air.

7) Understand, cherish and be confident in your vagina.

    •Study your vagina, study what comes out of it and when. Study it enough to know its smell and when it changes. And if you have any problem with your vagina, be free to visit a gynaecologist.
