douching is really not recommended unless your doctor tells you to or if you use plain water. Douching messes with your natural bactria balance...and can cause more harm than good. If you are healthy I wouldnt recommend it. ANd the tastes is supposed to be musky. Men love your natural smell and taste above artificial tastes and smells...trust me

Your smell is designed to be attractive to a man...unless you have an infection or havnet bathed for a few days you have nothin to worry about

I know my period can leave me smelling not so fresh...I usually wash my vulva(the outside, lips and clit) with light soap and water and thats it...my hubby has never complained

you should be fine! make sure you just regularly clean yourself down there. some men love the taste some dont. but if he's willing then i'm sure youll smell and taste fine. really all he (or she) needs to do is lick around the top of your vagina. thats where the clit is, and the more stimulation, the better. thats the main area. just keep yourself fresh down there, mow the lawn (shave) if you don't already. its easier if you shave sometimes.
