    Ok..so no matter how much I shower, bathe, perfume, deoderize...I still have an odor. It's not an infection odor(like yeast..ect) it's just omnipresent. It's been this way for aslong as I can remember. I can smell it and it lingers...especially in cars.

    Does anyone else have this issue?

    could it possibly be something you eat?

    If it's an underarm type oder, try and find some stuff called Lavelin. They sell it at most health-food type stores. It's mostly just Zinc, I think, in a petroleum jelly-talc base. It works REALLY well if you follow the instructions (apply after bathing, before bed, and wash off in the morning). This stuff really does just kill the bacteria that CAUSE oder.
    Good luck!

    I don't think it's what I eat. I have been ominvorous, vegan, raw foodist, fruitarian...I've dabbled in every diet imagineable.

    It's not an underarm odor...I have that under control.lol.

    what kind of an odor is it? is it an offensive body odor, or a musky woman odor? some women's sex just smells a lot stronger than others'. if it's that and it bothers you, shaving helps. hair carries a lot of scent in it.

    Maybe drinking more water, if its a ladies odor....Perhaps it could be a imbalance of healthy microbes in there? Try to eat my yogurt or take acidopholus supplements, and perhaps a little water and vinegar wash.

    Goodluck

    drink lots of water, stop eating red meat I don't know any non-meat eaters who smell or even get yeast infections I swear red meat is horrible for odors-both men and women. diluted teatree oil works great for 'down there' odors I have heard.

    unfortunately red meat doesn't do too much for yeast infections... didn't change a thing for me. however, yogurt is great, and so is cutting down on sugar.

    unless it's very unpleasant & smells unhealthy, i wouldn't worry about it. there's supposed to be a little scent, it's reproductive evolution...

    Try eating more leafy greens and taking a supplement from the health food store that contains chlorophyll.

    You also might consider switching soaps and getting a checkup at the doctor to make sure an undiscovered illness or a hormonal imbalance isn't causing it.
