Please stay a virgin if you prefer to be fresh. Sweat and other fluid exchanges during sex will tip off your pH balance and might make it more stinky.
It's normal to get wet and there are days when you will feel more wet and slippery there. The smell is also normal. If you want it more fresher, just let it clean itself from the inside. That wetness going out of your body (discharge) is how it cleans itself. If it's possible, try not to wear any panty during your wet days, like when you go to sleep and you have your own room and you can lock the door. You can also wear something loose, like an old underwear. Choose a panty that is 100% cotton and breathable, and change as often as you can. Be careful not to use any strong detergent to wash your underwear. Think twice in deciding to use panty shields and wipes as the scent or other chemical content can also affect your sensitive part.
Clean only the outside part, like the hair, never on the inside. Be sure to use clean water and when you wash or wipe, do it from front to back only, without returning to the front.

What's Going On?
For decades, there have been an abundance of products marketed to people with pussies*, claiming to clean pussies* and stop their natural odor. These products not only contribute to the myth that vaginas need cleaning, they are also associated with serious health risks. Pussies* have a bit of an odor which can intensify with physical activity and that?s healthy and normal!1 Vaginas clean themselves. Keeping your p***y* clean and healthy does not involve anything complicated.
Your p***y* is composed of different parts?all of which have different functions and different cleaning needs. We?ll start off by distinguishing them.2
Outer parts of the p***y*: The outside of your p***y* can be referred to as your vulva. The vulva includes: the labia, clitoris, opening of the urethra, opening of the vagina, mons pubis, and some people also include the perineum and anus.2
Inner parts of the p***y*: The inside of your p***y* holds the vaginal canal, a tube that connects the vulva to the uterus.2
How Can I Take Care of My p***y*?
Outer parts of the p***y*: You can wash your vulva (the outside of your p***y*) with plain, odorless soap and warm water while you?re in the shower or bath. Avoid scented soaps and make sure to rinse off all excess soap. When you?re finished, pat your vulva dry with a soft towel.3
Inner parts of the p***y*: The best way to take care of your vaginal canal is to let it take care of itself. Vaginas clean themselves naturally by making mucus, which washes away blood, semen, and other things that shouldn't be in there.1
Other Tips for Keeping Your p***y* Clean and Happy
Stay away from products such as douches, scented tampons, scented pads, powders, and sprays. These often mess with your vagina?s pH and and disrupt the vaginal bacteria necessary for keeping your vagina healthy.4
Always wipe from front to back. Wiping the other way can transfer unwanted bacteria (poop) to the opening of the urethra (pee hole), leaving your body vulnerable to urinary tract infections.
Choice in panties also plays a role in keeping the p***y* clean. 100% cotton or cotton crotch panties are ideal to keep the vulva healthy?allowing air in while absorbing perspiration/moisture. Panties with synthetic fibers have been proven to increase temperature and retain heat, promoting the growth of fungus and unwanted bacteria.6
Remember: it?s normal for your p***y* to have a bit of an odor! That said, If you either have discharge that smells bad or itchiness with thick, white, or yellowish-green discharge with or without an odor, they might be signs of infection, so you should get checked out by a doctor as soon as you can.1
