One thing that you can use is a feminine wash. You just use it like soap on your vagina whenever you bath.
Something else you could use is douch; I have never used this and there is specualtion that it is related to infertility.

Keep yourself clean. A large cause of infections happen simply because sweat or oils built up until there was nothing for it to do except fester and form an infection. Never fun. So bathe and shower regularly, and try and keep "down there" as clean as possible, without using a douche. Douches clean too much-- they take away some of the bad bacteria, but then they also take away massive amounts of the good bacteria. Unfortunately, the bad bacteria builds itself up, and you're worse off than before. Douching can also lead to increased inflammation (vaginitis). [1] A simple washcloth, with a small amount of mild unscented soap and water works fine, but do not wash inside. [2] The vagina is constantly flushing itself. So allow it to work the way it was designed.....minimize sugar intake, and maximize yogurt intake. Why yogurt? Simple, really. The bacteria in your vagina is a certain type that is in only a couple of foods that you can find in the grocery store. It just so happens, though, that yogurt contains good bacteria called acidophilus. Sugar, meanwhile, promotes the type of bacteria that the yogurt bacterias, if you will, try to kill off....Rinse Well. While showering or taking a bath, rinse your vagina with lots of water, especially if you use soap....Avoid sprays and scented soaps. Actually, try and avoid soaps "down there" as much as possible. They can get caught in the crevices of the vagina and fester. And you have an infection of the vagina in no time at all

I am 27 and i've noticed that your ph balance changes as your get older. When you're a teenager your vagina can take alot of uses of perfumes and soaps, gut you want the best for yourself so i recommend washing with only Summer's Eve feminie wash. Don't forget to use plenty of water to rinse away wash. Use water only to gently wash around your clitorus area. Vagina first, butt after that! Just to make sure there's no backwashing involved. I hope this helps you out too!

Your not suppose to douche, it CAN cause infection and other problems .. Some "vagina cleansing washes" can actually mess with your natural odors

I actually went to the gynecologists and she told me that summers eve can actually be just as bad and not to use that either. She said you dont really need soap of any kind bc the vagina will flush its self and you really just need a good amount of water to clear out what your vagina has flushed.

I just came form the doctors so what i have to say is very valid. DO NOT WASH WITH SOAP OR CREAMS!!!! USE ONLY WATER cut ur hand and fill it with water while you are in the shower. Open the lips to ur Vagina and simply wash the area. Do not use a towel, do not put your fingers up there and try to avoid thongs. Keep away from that area and wash with water everyday. Avoid bathtubs and jacuzzi's (however u spell that lol) Im 23 and i was freaking out, but if you dont take note of what i just told you, you will end up with BV an annoying bacterial infection

Apart from washing (cleaning) the vagina with water and soap, is there anything like a special lotion or soap that we can apply or use for smelly vaginal discharge?
