- Smell, discharge and wetnessMany women are worried that they smell 'down there' or notice a discharge and wonder if that's something to worry about. It’s normal for your vagina to have a certain smell. Don’t use soap, douches or perfumes to cover up your natural odour. They can irritate your vagina.Discharge – a yellow or white fluid that comes out of your vagina – is also perfectly normal. But get a medical check-up if you notice changes in smell, colour and consistency of your discharge. It could be as sign of a sexually transmitted infection.And when you’re aroused, it’s perfectly normal for your vagina to get wet. It needs to. It's a natural lubricant making it easier for the penis to slip inside.
