embarassing question...


This is a bit embarassing. So, I shower every day but still find that I get a tad funky um.."down there" the day after I BD. I've showered twice since yesterdays BD session but I still felt funky. Any tips?

Hmm, I have to admit that after a big BD session I can get a little...err the same. I think it's the fluids that are still leaking out a little. The only real thing that could probably fix it is douching. But I wouldn't recommend it at all, because it's going to wash away the swimmers up there!

There are female sanitary products available, I know there's some deodorants/perfumes for down that that can be used without any danger. Although check about TTC and using them first...Don't want anything to harm the chances.

I had that problem once,I had a bacterial infection and all the douche in the world didnt get rid of it, for me the sprays and powders only intensified the smell, finally went to the dr found out it was a bacterial infection,so if it continues I'd see a dr

I'm sure its not an infection its basically the stuff leaking out and now wonder how much I clean I can't get it all out....if that makes sense. So yeh, I don't want to douche in case I get rid of swimmers that I want in there!?

Don't worry at all. It's totally normal. I have that too and I've had lots of tests that showed no infection and everything normal. It's the smell of old semen that's leaking out of you slowly. I know it's gross. When we BD often around ovulation time, I have to deal with the grossness all week long! UGH!
I think it's totally normal. Don't worry about it.

I think its normal.

Douching or over enthusiastic cleaning down there is not a good thing and actually causes infections. I have a massive paranoia about smelling and have a tendency to overwash - esp after BDing! Basically you wash away the 'good' bacteria and the not so good take over. I have had to take very strong anit-biotics to sort it out and it also makes for a more hostile environment for the 'boys'! When I wasnt TTC I just took the anti-biotics every so often and washed to my hearts content - now I'm very careful and only use water if poss or one of the feminine washes.
