It helps to do some research b4 jumping to Nairaland.
See below, 11 reasons for vaginal ordor

Men have odor, too.

So, why is it that women spend more time concerned about odor than men, when odor happens to all of us?

Here’s my theory… Ready for this?

Men do not have to go and hang their knees up and spread their legs wide open with a speculum placed into a body cavity every year. All this just inches away from the face of a doctor!

I guarantee you, if men had to do this, they would have had this problem solved in two shakes about 100 years ago.

It took a woman to solve body odor!

Lume Deodorant for Underarms & Private Parts is very effective at preventing body odor in intimate areas (for both women AND men!).

However, you may be wondering what causes so-called “feminine odor” in the first place.

Here are 11 things that contribute to odor:


1. Long pubic hair
Hair increases the surface area for bacteria and bodily fluids to linger and lead to odor. Think of it as a dance floor. The smaller the dance floor, the smaller the area the bacteria and bodily fluids have to hang out and interact with each other. Pubic hair holds on to residual urine, vaginal discharge, blood and semen. Bacteria line up all along the hair shaft just lunching it up and creating odor. (Very appetizing, I know.)

Trimming your pubic hair reduces that surface area for bacteria, thus reducing odor.


2. Menstrual Blood
It’s actually not the vagina that tends to cause odor, it’s bacteria from our backside. So, using a diva cup or tampon helps to keep menstrual blood from coming into contact with bacteria commonly found in our gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria digest the proteins and fats found in blood and release odor. By keeping blood away from between our butt cheeks and vulva, we are reducing the potential for odor to form.


3. Urine
When you empty your bladder, residual urine happens. If you leak urine when you cough, sneeze or laugh, you have a little more than most. Bacteria digest it and that creates odor. If you want to use a spray bottle or a wet wipe and just good old toilet paper to pat dry, you will minimize this odor reaction from happening.


4. Intimacy
Semen is the worst offender for odor between our legs. Bacteria commonly found in our gastrointestinal tract digest semen slowly over time, and the vagina serves as a reservoir for it to leak out for the next couple of days. You can use a tampon after intercourse to minimize the leakage. Just remove it a few hours later.

These odors are indistinguishable from odors commonly noted with bacterial vaginosis. If it’s an external odor that is not from an infection and therefore doesn’t require antibiotics, the odor will go away within 3-4 days. If odor persists, you may have an infection, so you’ll want to see your doctor.


5. Tight-fitting clothes
If you are wearing clothing that is squeezing your butt cheeks together, odor is just brewing away. Think Ziploc bag. That’s exactly what’s happening with your jeans, yoga pants, and tights.


6. Poo residue
It happens. Especially in public bathrooms with cheap toilet paper. Or at a cheap friend’s house who uses cheap toilet paper.

You can imagine how even a little bit of residue won’t leave you smelling fresh and clean after you leave the bathroom.

I recommend using toilet paper and freshening up with a Lume Deodorant Wipe until it swipes white.


7. Man-made fabrics
If your clothing contains anything other than cotton or wool, it has man-made fibers.

These have been shown to promote the B.O. reaction.

Sweat and bacteria find their way to the fabrics every time you wear them, and you cannot keep this B.O. reaction from happening, no matter what product you use.

Next time you think your deodorant failed you, make sure you are not just smelling that reaction in the shirt from a previous wear.

Pre-hamper your fabrics with an enzyme detergent to help get those odors out.


8. Thong underwear
As a gynecologist, I always referred to this as butt floss. It is meant to be worn only briefly, in my opinion. Think of it like a rope on a pulley moving back and forth shifting bacteria from your backside to the front side. Thongs increase your risk of irritation and yeast infections.


9. Vaginal discharge
What happens is, when it is digested by bacteria commonly found in our gastrointestinal tracts (get the reoccurring theme here?), a mild fishy odor is released.
There is nothing wrong with you, it just happens.
Higher pH discharge is more likely to happen during ovulation, pregnancy and in post-menopausal years.


10. Retained tampon

Have you ever smelled a rotten potato?
This is even worse.

Most retained tampons are left in at the end of your period, and you forget about them. It is also possible to double-up on tampons in the vagina and not realize it.

About three days later (or more) you will begin to notice the smell of death.

We should be changing our tampons every 4-6 hours during the day and not leaving one in overnight for longer than 8 hours.


11. Vaginal infections
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and trichomoniasis both have a fishy foul odor associated with them.

BV is milder in odor and odor may be the only symptom you have.

Trichomoniasis is almost always associated with a change in vaginal discharge that is grey or greenish in nature. If you notice a strong fishy odor immediately after intercourse, chances are you have this. It is a parasite and needs antibiotics to treat it.

You can minimize those odors by trying some of the suggestions I have mentioned.

If you still notice odor despite using Lume for a few days, you need to see your doctor to rule out a more concerning issue.

I want to ask
Won't a lady notice when her veejay is smelling?

No time for debating


No prostitute is less a person

No prostitute deserves any disease for being a prostitute

Make I pray for you na in line with what said


May you marry a prostitute

Where ever you are say amen!

bonnyhope:
None of these categories in this your list can be billionaire.

These are business men who are into clearing and forwarding, importer, Depot operations, high profile clubs. They are made

Those ones you mentioned are just being engaged to be able to feed themselve and nothing more

I disagree with you on this, some big business men you see today started from something small

They are called business men doesn't mean some didn't went through struggle, boyboy, petty skill/trade, apprenticeship etc

Not doubt some have means to establish those big business you mentioned. But there are some who went through gradual process.

Anyone, can become anything tomorrow

NwaOhafia:

This stuff still baffles me how people get excited when the see these guys

I though they were suppose to have security for overzealous fans

Back to your comment, the thing dey baffle me sha, even those day when I was in School when usher, two-face, ruggedman, Idris, styleplus etc bin dey reign. I no one dey get overly exited.

I just enjoy the show, cheer when others are cheering and go my house when all was over

2special:
This is a Yahoo man

It is connoted with boy... Even if the person na 100years..

Even thought it's not an English word, I think it's similar to words like
Callgirl- a 100yrs woman doing the work will stiller be termed callgirl

My thought though

The man wasn't dating her... They were just fuckmates. perhaps she wants something more but the guy no gree and she had to abort

When a man is not serious with you, you will know, no matter the amount of love he showers you. unless you just decide to ignore the signs

I don't believe that a lady and a man will be in serious relationship and the man will plan traditional marriage and wedding and the lady wouldn't get a clue.

Unless it's a man u only meet up for sex

All these na problem wey N100 condom for solve

The apology sef reeks of pride

GoooodHardDick:
She means her mother and this generation of girls started hookup business.

If govt banned hookup, most Nigeria girls including the one above me might commit suicide

I swear...
Wetin dey shock me join na say even working class girls dey do am too. bankers, company receptionists, teachers, nurses, broadcasters and ladies with businesses

though with higher price because they have something to fall back when there is no client

However, when they find a client willing to foot it, they are game

Chie... If this babe decide to retire from football just this minute, I bet you she will be fulfilled

See the fame, name, identity, recognition and indeed money football has brought her

He parents would reminisce and thank God they didn't stopped her when she chose to play

Kudos to her

cococandy:
If the finances is the issue why you can’t leave him, you already paid him back x10.
What’s your real excuse for not leaving?
It has to be more than financial.
Do you still love him? Are you staying for the kids like they say? What’s the main issue? Because you’re not financially indebted to him so I don’t see why that’s in your topic

Don't say that... There is nothing as priceless like a needed help/assistance. You may have millions today, but somebody's N500 can save your life.

Secondly, The man didn't saw her through school to be repaid. In my opinion, they should find a way to settle

You are not telling the complete truth...
From your story,The problem you guys has before then was his refusal to go to school
your husband turned violent after the your cheating incidence. Non violent men don't just turn violent overnight without a cause

He even forgave and continued with you sef. I believe those incidence where he hit you generated from argument concerning you and your dealings with some others people even though you won't mention it.

That man has sacrificed a lot for you, he sent you to school to lift you from poverty and today you and you family are better of.

Try to settle with him. That man be him a plumber loves you dearly. You may not fine someone who would love you as he does

He called her boss and so what. What if she was in real trouble at that time if the night.

I don't see that as enough reason to entirely block the person you intend to marry

That girl is not ready for marriage at all. simple

Poster stop misleading people. Go and read the cbn circular very well. Where it asked for the details you mentioned Is for cheque above certain limit

You can withdraw more than 20k a day if you want, just that you will be charged 5% cot for additional amounts beyond the daily limit.

Xchii:
you're very ignorant. And you shouldn't generalize your selfhate on others. Yes several ethnic groups were isolated from other civilizations for thousands of years and it affected the technological advancement of SSA but that doesn't mean others are better than us, it only means other benefitted from trade of ideas, technology, culture and so on... Example. The English, french, germans all never had any writing system. The Romans you mentioned got their writing system from the Greeks while the Greeks got theirs from the Phoenicians, the Phoenicians and Arabs all got their writing system from the ancient Egyptians. If you read carefully you'll understand that most of these civilizations were Mediterranean Civilizations that were able to trade among themselves for a long time and influenced themselves. Even the East Asians benefitted from the global trade back then with the silk road networks... But black Africans didn't because of the large barrier i.e the Sahara desert. Infact most people didn't know the Americas existed until the Portuguese started using the Atlantic ocean. Pls just read history bro, stop coming here to push anti-black rhetorics. Global academical researchers, historians, anthropologists all concluded that race has nothing to do with progress has far as history is concern. Nature didn't do anything to us, if you're suffering from depression or anything pls seek help.

I though I was arguing with a sane human. Since you can not hold an argument without throwing insult, it tells who you are.

No need to wast my energy

BigBashiru:
Africa and Nigeria had well developed languages - if you think less of yourself i dont hv a problem with it...what i hv a problem with is you trying to infect others with it.... africa's problem is they hv a culture of laziness...thats why nothing works...however laziness cuts across all races... be balanced in your analysis.

U nor dey understand me
I said some languages in Africa were not fully developed even as close as 250 years ago.

That aside sef, even the well developed Nigerian languages don have indigenous alphabets with wish to write it. Am using writing and communication here cos they are essential aspects of civilization.

I don't want to argue much . But there is no way you we say we are doing well or had a better civilization. We had our own civilization quite alright, but it was far behind hence thy had us easily deceived because their level made us see them as demi-gods when they came

When our ancestors had problem, they consulted oracle rather than finding real solution, they killed twin babies, send children with rhesus factor issues and circle cell to evil forest because they were believed to be cursed, bury kings with live humans etc

Am pointing out some archaic culture doesn't mean when don't have good ones too.

But as for civilization, we had ours, but I don't agree the it was better then the west as at then

BigBashiru:
There's nothing wrong with Africans or blacks....we had a better civilization than the Europeans prior to their invasion. It is they that came to us that are less powerful.

Just like Africa, Canadian Furst Nations and Native American tribes were erased by colonization....

Check Timbuktu et al. They tried to erase African history just as they did to North Americans....

The only fault of the black man is laziness, docility and unseriousness....the vast majority of Africans are LAZY

I just bolded your confession, at least you know why we are backwards to some extent

I don't know your definition of better civilization . The ancients Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Arabs, Chinese, Cretans and the likes; had well developed languages with indigenous alphabets thousands of years ago even before Christ...

Yet just 300 yrs ago, some African languages were not fully developed, let alone developing a writing/scripting process for it. Our civilization was nowhere better abeg

I just believe nature made SSA to be highly backward for a reason which I don't know

Xchii:
SSA is not a monolith.

Whether monolith or not, SSA wouldn't have been better off without western invasion.

The only negativity of western invasion on SSA is slavery. aside that, the rest are advantageous. The state SSA was 250 yrs ago, the western world wasn't like the 1500 yrs ago

Let me not even mention some of our cultures that are barbaric and unthinkable. Give and take, western invasion/civilization has done Africa more good than harm

Isn't this thread supposed to be for Ladies?

Some Nairaland Guys Sha.

So na only ladies get ex?

All those saying sub Saharan Africa was doing fine before the coming of the white man don't know what they are saying

Perhaps those that blew whistle didn't get the right and/or agreed compensation

Erwinia aroideae causes soft rot of the leaves with yellowish ooze; it also affects the fruits.

Harvesting of ugu:
Ugu can be harvested after about 5 weeks after planting if it's for personal consumption.
However on a commercial basis it is advised to harvest at about 8 weeks after planting, then
ugu can be harvested repeatedly for about eight months at an interval of 2-3weeks.
Harvesting the right way will ensure that they regenerate after 2-3 weeks...the more you
harvest, the better and faster it grows...
You need to very careful with your first harvest as that has a way of affecting the sprouting
subsequently.

MARKETING
You can sell your ugu directly at the market, or you invite the market women to come to your
farm, they harvest and pay you.
The former is better as you'll make more gain from it.
To ensure a constant market, I'd advise you register with the market vegetable association, this way, you're guaranteed to bring in your produce to the market freely and immediately get buyers anytime you bring your produce.
It is important to do this and it's very cheap (5,000 per year) or 15,000 for a lifetime... Depending on your area.
Also note that market price fluctuates depending on the supply of ugu in the market.
Also, prices drop during the rainy season and skyrocket during the dry season.
If too many farmers bring their produce to the market, prices will drop.
Furthermore, you can become a supplier to Eateries, Restaurants, and supermarkets.
You can process by drying and cutting and package to sell at premium price...you can even export.

That bolded part is da bomb, I know of a single mom who saw 3 of her kids through higer institution by growing and selling ugu

My mom had some aswell but on subsistence bases. If I have access to land, I will do it, even if it's just for personal consumption. And Not just ugu,but along side water leaf and green

In my opinion, Leafy vegetable farming provides quick and faster return on investment than any other form of crop farming.

If you have access to watering your farm during dry season, it gives you an opportunity to sell all year round, na you go tire for customers. I remember some people used to book my mom's own even after cutting it. They book down awaiting the next regeneration

Yimu, Aboki's won't leave Atiku, their own to vote for Tinubu.

That's the certainty.... Kwankwaso may even step down for atuku later on.

Most of us southerners only know how to make noise on line. Northerners don't have time for that... They believe in the real thing and that's why they are termed better politicians.

Am not in support of any cos they are all thesame. Am just expressing my thoughts as regard tendencies in the 2023 polity
