5 Myths About Feminine Odor That Need to Die

5 Myths About Feminine Odor That Need to Die

Feminine odor is one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s health. Let’s debunk the myths that cause confusion and shame.

Myth #1: Odor means you’re dirty. False. Odor changes are natural and often related to hormones or diet—not hygiene.

Myth #2: Scented products are better. Nope. They often make things worse by disrupting your pH balance and irritating sensitive skin.

Myth #3: You can 'wash it away'. Overwashing strips protective bacteria and throws off your microbiome, increasing discomfort.

Myth #4: Everyone should smell the same. Completely false. Everyone’s natural scent is different—and that's normal and healthy.

Myth #5: Odor means something’s wrong. Not necessarily. Slight changes can be due to sweat, hormonal shifts, or even diet—not infection.

The truth? Your body has its own balance. Support it—don’t fight it—with gentle, fragrance-free options like PureLux Naturals.
