My 3 year old climbed into my lap while we were watching TV and said "ew mommy poop." She was smelling my front. And I just sat there frozen trying to figure out what to say. I told her "no baby, mommy's fine" and changed positions so she wasn't so close. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. Because if my 3 year old could smell it, who else could? I'm 38. I shower every single day, sometimes twice. And I still couldn't sit cross-legged on the floor to play with my kids without worrying they were going to say something. I couldn't let them lay in my lap without tensing up or crouch down to tie their shoes without holding my breath. And every time one of them got close I was just waiting for the comment. But the worst part is I knew they weren't trying to be mean... Kids are just honest. So when my daughter hugged me one night and said "mommy you smell funny" I knew I had to do something. I tried everything. PH washes, Probiotics from the drugstore and even those boric acid suppositories. But the smell would go away for maybe a few days and then come right back. And I found myself avoiding my own kids. Like I'd find excuses not to sit on the floor with them. I'd keep them at arm's length during movie night. I can't believe I'm writing this but I missed my son's school concert because I'd smelled myself that morning and couldn't stop thinking about sitting in those crowded bleachers. I kept thinking "I'm supposed to be present for them and instead I'm hiding from them." So I'm googling at midnight "vaginal odor won't go away after kids." And I found this thread where a microbiologist explained why this happens after kids. She said pregnancy and childbirth completely disrupt vaginal pH. Like your body goes through so many hormonal shifts that the balance of bacteria gets thrown off. And for some the bad bacteria take over and form something called a biofilm. It's like a protective shield they build on the vaginal wall. And once that hardens, the odor-causing bacteria get sealed underneath. So when I showered, used probiotics or tried pH washes, I was only cleaning the surface, but the bacteria underneath just keep producing that smell. Which was why it would go away for a few days and then come right back. And she said the only way to break through is an enzyme from pineapple stems. Because it dissolves the biofilm so the bacteria underneath are finally exposed. And then you need the right probiotics to rebuild the healthy balance once the biofilm's gone. And she linked these gummies that had both. The stem enzyme to break it down and the probiotics to reset everything after. I ordered them thinking this is my last try. And the first week nothing changed. But around day 8 I noticed I wasn't checking myself constantly anymore. Like I'd just... forgotten to worry about it. By day 10 I was pretty sure the smell was actually gone. That weekend my daughter climbed into my lap during a movie. And I didn't tense up or reposition her. I just let her sit there and she didn't say anything. She just watched the movie with her head on my chest. And I almost cried because I didn't realize how much I'd been holding back from my own kids. Last week we were all on the floor playing a board game. Me sitting cross-legged right in the middle of them. Not thinking about it or worrying at all and my son looked up at me and said "mom you seem happier." And I thought "yeah, I am." Because I wasn't hiding anymore. So if your kids have said something and you've been avoiding getting close to them because you're terrified they'll say it again... It's not about showering more or about hygiene. It's biofilm sealing bacteria underneath where nothing you're using can reach it. But once you break it down the smell disappears within 5 to 9 days. And if you've been keeping your own kids at arm's length because you're scared of what they might smell, that's where I'd start.
