Have you ever wondered why you smell the way that you do? No, we\u2019re not talking about your choice in perfume, but rather your naturally-occurring scent that\u2019s coupled along with feminine hygiene.<\/p>\n

While you may think that the way you smell is simply something you\u2019re born with, it can actually be the result of the underwear you\u2019re wearing. \u201cCotton underwear or cotton-crotched panties help our vaginal health by naturally wicking moisture away from the area,\u201d says Dr. Carolyn DeLucia, the resident OB-GYN at VSPOT Medi Spa<\/a> in New York City. \u201cWhen you wear lycra or nylon, the moisture is trapped and bacteria can grow.” It’s this bacteria that causes odors.<\/p>\n

In addition to opting for cotton options, Dr. DeLucia recommends steering clear of thongs. \u201cAvoiding thongs also helps [prevent odors] because they hug into the creases and can pass bacteria from the anal area to the vagina, which is never a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
