Pineapple</h3><p>According to writer, <a href="http://jezebel.com/5915592/how-to-make-your-vagina-taste-awesome">Erin Gloria Rya</a>n from Jezebel.com, the sweetness of pineapple may have something to do with how well you smell downstairs.

Switch to Cotton</h3><p>If you're wearing satin or lacy underwear, stop. The buildup of sweat is one of the top causes of vaginal odors.
