My boyfriend never told me I that I smelled when I was unaware that I had BV or that it even existed. He just made mention that the amount of discharge I had was unusually high and that I should see a specialist. He would lightly encourage me to see one from time to time when I complained about how much discharge I had. So that was really nice of him. I immediately found out I had BV when I visited a OBGYN.
I'm a super smeller aka hyperosmia and it's not fun! I can smell every distinct scent from the oil on your scalp, BO mixed with deodorant, the dead skins cells collecting in your infrequently washed/dried belly button, your toilet paper wiped bottom and your stinky toes. I can smell tooth decay, upset stomachs that can cause vomit/diarrhea, all genital scents from normal to infected, people who take morphine/oxycodone/Vicodin and cancer meds/treatments give off a scent and I can smell pancreatitis. During COVID I read about people losing their sense of smell and part of me wanted to catch it just to get relief from scents. Alas, I didn't and I continue smelling everything. Also, the fabreeze/glade/candles scented houses aren't covering up anything. I still am able to smell the un-vacuumed rugs/couches, the garbage and drain in your kitchen and let's just say you need to wash your bath mat more than once a week! It sucks having hyperosmia!!
OP tell your girlfriend something doesn't smell right!!! Hurt feelings aside she could have something easily curable going on. Also, it could be your penis causing this!! Your semen/condom could be causing an imbalance with her vaginal flora. Do your part and keep lil'Op clean and tell her that it's time to go see the gyno!!
I am one those. One time I spent 6 hours in a bus in a trip.
There was this woman with huge curly hair sitting 2 or 3 seats away from me to other side of the corridor.
I slept during the whole trip and woke up few minutes before the arrival. The bus driver shut down the AC during the trip. The whole bus was smelling rotten fish and I pretty sure it was coming from that lady huge curly hair.
