And so you clicked on the thread why? Not like you didn’t know what you were getting into, right?
To all the delicate flowers in here, maybe time to move on? Thank you OP for posting this. I’m not really a fat girl, but it had never occurred to me that some fabrics could make you smellier potentially. Good to know, good to know.
::hangs head in shame::
It seemed really funny at the time. In my defense, I’m on prescription drugs.
OMG. The threads I’ve read from men OP’s about shit, piss, vaginas, vaginas, vaginas (what do they smell like, taste like, feel like, etc. etc.) nuts, balls, testes, penises, dicks, poles, weinie waxings and on and on and on adnaseum.
And you guys have the nerve to get all “gross, how dare she?” over a body odor question?
Get over it. Sheesh.
I don’t think it’s just guys who think this is gross.
I don’t think this is especially grosser than a lot of other subjects but I do think it’s weird. My first reaction to a bad vaginal odor wouldn’t be to change my pants but to consult a doctor. Normal vaginal odor is one thing but I don’t get anything I would characterize as…er, “crotch stink.”
Share, and all is forgiven…
Sorry, I just think it’s mostly the men who automatically went to the “fat girls stink” place.
And, depending on the frequency/fabric/weather/time-of-month, women can stink too without having a genuine medical issue.
It’s a human problem, not a male/female or fat/skinny one.
I think I would have gone with ‘Snu Funk’ in the OP’s place; however, this is an issue I’ve managed to avoid.
I wear only natural fabrics because synthetics irritate my skin in a really unfortunate way. I assume that is what has saved me from snu funk.
I can certainly imagine/understand why skin wrapped in a non-breathing fabric on a hot day would get a bit funky. I don’t think disease or personal hygene necessarily has anything to do with it.
HEh…gotcha.
No I’m pretty sure it’s the polyester. I’m not even fat but synthetic fabric are the cause in my case. Natural fibers are your friend, cotton (pants and panties), linen, etc. Try it, you’ll see.
Yeah, I’m with the 100% cotton crowd.
I play tennis. Most tennis apparel is made of “sweat wicking” material, which are all just other names for “polyester.” Can hardly find cotton anymore, so polyester it is. If I’m going somewhere after my match, I bring along a change of clothes because the fabric absorbs odor.
I recommend Tide plus Febreeze Freshness Sports Scent. It definitely works on getting out sweat stink. I’d try it on your business casual clothes, too, because sometimes washing once doesn’t work, especially if you have one of the new low-water washing machines.

mmmm underboob.
That’s what I pretty much use already. This thread has convinced me to stay the path.
Being a woman, I know it’s not ALL sunshine and roses. But when I read a thread like this, it makes me glad that my girlybits are more or less cooperative.
Sort of off topic but has anyone read the memoir Fat Girl by Judith Moore? There’s a part where the author talks about how as a young girl, she lived with her mother (a slim to normal sized woman) and how the whole apartment would start to smell like her mother’s…um, vaginal odors? And she also talked about her mother using talcum powder down there which didn’t seem to help, I guess. It was pretty incomprehensible because I’d never heard of anyone having to use that stuff. I’m just a soap and water kind of gal, and I’m thankful my vulva doesn’t require anything else!
This is one of the gag gifts I’ve given to my son for Christmas over the years. Can’t speak to its efficacy, though.
Baking soda.
I use it nearly every day in the hotter months. It works exactly as advertised. No stanky balls, chafing, or monkey butt of any sort. 
Um, I’m not that educated when it comes to chemistry, but isn’t corn starch pH neutral? I’d be much more cautious about getting baking soda up in my hooter, sodium bicarb being an acid neutralizer and all. I’m pretty sure you don’t want to mess with the pH there. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I heartily endorse bbq sauce, or perhaps honey mustard. You won’t have to worry about stink, and the mons makes a handy bowl for dipping.
Can all of the haters honestly say you’ve never had swamp ass? Seriously? Not once in your entire life?
LIAR!
Well, in this case, yes. If a normal sized person asked the same question, the replies would be simple: natural fabrics instead of manmade, and maybe check with your gyno to make sure it’s all good 'round the hood. It wouldn’t involve fat folds and what may or may not be going on between them.
I think one of the benefits of regular showers and an 18.3 BMI is not having to deal with “swamp ass.”
