Why does my vagina smell bad?

I've never had sex before but I find my vagina smells bad.. when I wear tight pants or a thong and go inn to the bathroom I notice a smell.. is that normal

Ummm with some gurls yes...
Does it like itch or burn down there? do you clean yourself too much?
if it itches down there maybe you have a yeast infection, when this happens it hurts to have sex and even to pee, and some milky white stuff comes out of you. If this is what you see go to the store and buy one a day monistat it is like $20-25 but it works...
When you wear tight clothes for some reason it causes yeast infections and so do tight underwear, sounds like a yeast infection! Yeast infections can be dangerous if you don't treat it... go asap!

I agree with the above, prob a yeast infection. Every woman's vagina has its own smell but it shouldn't be a bad smell and the smell can change depending on the time of the month in conjunction with your period. Tight clothing, jeans, underwear made from man made materials will make matters worse. Get a swab done from your doctor so you can clear it up...if you also have a white thick discharge. you are defnately showing signs of candia/thrush. But a doctor is the one you need to see. Make sure you bath daily, wear clean underwear that is made of cotton, avoid tight clothes and scented soaps, washes etc. You don't have to have had sex to get a yeast infection but it can be passed on to another if you don't get it cleared up and decided to have sex.

good luck

I've'e asked my GYN this question also and she told me that because there are there are so many sweat glands in that area is the reason for what may seem like bad odor, but it usually normal.

You might have bacterial vaginosis. It's a condition that develops when the 'good' bacteria in your vagina is out of balance. To be sure, you'll definitely need to see your gynecologist. There's nothing over-the-counter that helps with this common female problem. Only a prescribed pill called FLAGYL will help.
