Both holes smell like stale urine. 23/F

I've washed with the gyno-approved soap, I've taken betadine baths. I'm a heavyset woman and I haven't had sex since December of 2020.

For some reason I can't put my finger on, both of my lower holes smell like stale urine. I make sure I clean up thoroughly after using the bathroom, but I just don't get it! If not even iodine or soap gets rid of it, what on Earth is making my lower body smell so funky?!

    Are you drinking enough water? If your urine is concentrated it will leave traces of ammonia on your skin and clothes. Is there any chance you could be pregnant?Sometimes ladies who are in the early stages of pregnancy are very sensitive to smells especially urine smells.

    You may just be overwashing your vulva area.Stop using Betadine...its not necessary. What is the gyno approved soap? a plain olive oil based soap is all you need. It may even be the combination of the chemicals you are using that is creating their own smell which you are thinking is stale urine.

      I drink two bottles a day, no chance of pregnancy (Depo hasn't failed me yet) but I do have a sensitive nose and I use those fragrance free soaps that are designed for sensitive skin followed by a light dusting of cornstarch powder.

      Dont use powder on your vulva. Again, not necessary. You are using too many products on a very sensitive area.
