Although shaving underarms ( when I was younger and more hairy) definitely made me less sweaty by the end of the day I always use an anti perspirant. I don't think shaving pubic hair would have same effect as some of the bacteria and their breakdown products are different also lots more 'nooks and crannies ' for them to hide. I wash throughly in a daily shower but sometimes not happy with the whiff that I sometimes from that region put it down to coming of HRT and subsequent change in vaginal bacteria.
Sorry to go on but I find this a fascinating subject, but not when it's me that pongs Flutterbyx

"even your best friends don't tell you" …………    I do get Himself to sniff me occasionally but he reassures me that I smell 'normal' ……….

Yes that might be an idea CKLD, if I pick the right moment 
I can smell other people sometimes but I am hoping it's only me that can smell myself as its only when I remove my knickers I occasionally get the strange smell. Flutterbyx

As long as you don't have a low-grade infection down there, this too will pass .  I also note that my urine smells of sulphur occasionally or, well I can't describe it.

No not an infection, my wee smells strongly after eating onions

I've had a definite whiff about me  .  We used to buy 'shield' blue soap which really worked, it seems to have been withdrawn from the Market  with noticeable effect

Being partially sighted I have phenominal sense of smell   and I used to not overly like the pre meno smell but oh dear please bring it back as it was much preferable to this old goat smell of post meno

oh errrrr ...........

Bumped

Yes.  One of the first things I noticed while periods were still a bit awry; a change in armpit sweat smell.  I was never a very sweaty person (I hope!) but this was weird, musky.  No one else ever said anything, including OH.    I don't notice it so much now but I definitely smell differently from my youth!   I seem to remember reading/seeing it as one of the many symptoms of meno (on here probably.) 

Have noticed my lovely Mum has a real old lady smell now. Just a sort of mix between old stale perfume on scarves and a slightly musty body smell. 

Something else to look forward to huh
