Gross TMI Poll

[cl8badb]

My obvious answer is yes.

[ordinaryme]

I also voted not sure, because I haven't really noticed anything. It very well could have and I just never noticed.

Anyone else want to post about their smelly bits? Or should cl8badb and I just hang out here and stink each other up

You made me giggle! Hahaha
Stinky party of 2!

[nachellebeck]

No...?

I don't think it changed.

[cl8badb]

Total TMI
I used to like the way i smelled.
A. I dont like the way i smell anymore.
B. I smell frequently now. I showered before bed and woke up not fresh. :/

I was wondering if any of those PH balance (bullshit??) cleansers out there actually do anything?
I know douching isnt the best thing to do (never did that) but i want to try something.

[daffy2k]

Yes. But like classictwitch said, it seems to change with my hormones. Even pre-preg it would change depending on where I was in my cycle (like when I was ovulating was totally different than a few days after my period, for example). Right now my current pregnancy is probably contributing to the different smell. It's not too bad, just different than it was.

[graceinca]

It smelled differently during pregnancy, but it's back to "normal" now.

Same. Never noticed anything different.

[musicalsilver]

I had to ask DH. ;-)

He said no.

[lioness13]

This is cracking me up.

But sadly, yes I smell different. I hate it. I figured it wasn't just me but I haven't been brave enough to ask.

Totally going to do the same thing, but I'm going to ask my DH, not yours. That would be weird. (I started typing and realized how it would sound, then kept going. It's been a long day.)

[kames12]

Yes, but then again I have had more odor problems since giving birth. Damn hormones

[workinit]

I still smell like a rose! For real though... No change here

General odor or ?

My arm pits smell WAY worse since having a baby. I never used to get under arm stink and now it's all the time

This. I couldn't believe how bad my B.O. had gotten. My deodorant would only last for a couple hours. I switched to a different clinical kind and it's working ok.

As for the original poll. Yes..I hate the way I smell now. Having a baby screwed up my hormones.

[kmck]

No change that I know of? I'll have to ask my husband.

This is me too.  I'm glad to know for sure I'm not alone.

[ciahanna]

thatblondie If you want super comfy undies that are kinda like the mesh ones, try Hanes womens boxer briefs. The thigh length ones. I wear them to bed and they're awesome. I won't leave the house in them, but don't care when I'm home!

[amv]

Yes, just different. I can't get away with skipping a shower since having DD

Stupid hormones

[subliminalrabbit]

Nope.

And since we're talking about pits too, I used to sweat a lot before I was pregnant, totally stopped sweating (unless I was vigorously exercising) when pregnant, and I haven't gotten back to my pre-pregnancy sweat levels. Thank god.

[musicalsilver]

I shall thank my lucky stars that I've been able to continue my non-deodorant wearing ways. DH has no problem in telling me if I need to pony up and wear some deodorant. Obviously, we have a very frank relationship regarding smells ;-)

This is a good way to put it. I dont smell "bad" just different but its bad in my opinion.
It could also be a hormone thing. Im in between my friend and ovulating so maybe thats why. Im going to start to pay more attention to timing.
My armpits are ok. When i was breastfeeding i smelled like an animal but that stopped once i stopped breastfeeding.

[wheresmyspatula]

Yes, its definitely changed. Maybe because I'm still breastfeeding? Let's hope it changes when I wean!

I shower every morning and I definilty get some odor by the end of the day. I first noticed it after Jack was born, I've tried douches, they work for a week or two and sprays just seem to mask the odor.


If it gets really bad go to your OB because it could be bacterial vaginosis and you need antibiotics.

[melohdy]

Not that I've noticed?

[madlizmom]

I voted yes because I think so - especially after having two now. But DH swears to me that it smells fine and is not all "gross, disgusting, yucky and swampy" like I think it is.

I think this fits me...but maybe it is still different and I just don't notice it.  Should I ask DH?  

[vitafelix]

I'd have to ask DH, but at the moment my ladybits smell like sour milk because M just spit up all over my lap. On the only pair of clean pants I have that fit right now. *sigh* I love my awkward pp body.

[peachey]

It smells different. I was all about to post that my BO is less then it was pre baby, but then I remembered that I usually smelled pre baby becuase I did manual labor and worked outside in the heat and stuff.

[anw39]

I voted NO because I've always had issues down there...for years...and I always think "it" smells bad but dr said it was normal and dh hasn't said anything...
