When I get my period I notice that there is an increase in odour. I keep myself very clean during my period (I feel gross otherwise) but still get this terrible odour. Is that natural?
Also I notice that my periods are very thick and almost....goopy. Is that normal? :$

Thick and goopy as you put it is not unusual. Maybe they didn't teach this in school for you but your period contains blood and tissue matter that's what gives it that consistency. Your diet has an effect on your period also for example if you ingest a lot of caffeine you will have a flood. Eating a lot of fish such as salmon, although healty, can give it an odor. You may want to consider making a change to your diet the week prior to when your period will start and see if that has an effect. I would also suggest changing your sanitary napkins more frequently to lessen the moisture build up which causes bacteria to thrive which leads to the smell.
