9. Vaginas are supposed to have a smell

This should be common knowledge by now but it's not. The bottom line? The vagina contains a highly specialized army of bacteria that work 'round the clock to keep your vaginal pH healthy and balanced.

And like other bacteria, these do have a smell.

So that oh-so-special tanginess you occasionally get a whiff of is totally normal and nothing that needs to be covered up by scented body washes or perfumes. Of course, if you're noticing a new scent that's odd or pungent, see a doctor.
