how long does the smell of my girlfriends "area" take to go away from her lingerie. we havent had for a month and as far as i know she hasnt worn the lingerie in several months. she says the reason we havent had is because we live with my parents and her kid is always around. she works the night shift at a grocery store and i work mornings. but we still have had a few opportunities. she is just always too tired when they are there. (by the way, she uses one of her toys alot and shes a bit freaky. could she be dressing up for her toy? i heard girls tend to do that on occasion.) Wow, a few questions at play here. Let's start with the obvious. Most lingeie needs to be washed out after every wear. Now, I'm not sure how much she spends on the stuff but some does get quite interesting to wash. I highly suggest Woolite. If that is too harsh of a substance, try a tad bit of dishwashing soap (something non-harsh Ivory or visit Victoria's secret they sell special stuff to clean lingerie)and throw them in the machine. Avoid hot but try warm. The smell, well I have to think there is something bacterially wrong there. Most women don't have "that smell" if they are taking care of the area. Summer's Eve sells wipes; maybe she should invest in some of them. Actually, a simple soap should take care of it. UNLESS, she is dealing with a yeast infection. If that is the case...go see a gynocologist...get it checked lingerie. toys. Well, hate to tell you this but, if they are not properly cleaned and disinfected they too can cause some sort of bacterial infection. Anyone who actually sells the things tells you the need to be cleaned after each use. Dressing up for your toy? Honestly, this is the first time I have heard this one but, maybe she's totally into enhancing the mood. Ask her.
