Hi! As of right now I’m on the pill, so I know that soon I’ll be on my period. My mom always tells me that I smell like blood whenever I wake up… I also notice the smell sometimes and it’s kind of… Acrid…? I don’t really know how to describe it but it smells!🫩😖 Talking about period, I don’t really bleed? It’s mainly dark brown clots and my blood is never really fresh. (I think that means I have a slow light-moderate flow, correct me if I’m wrong.) Usually I shave before having my period to try reducing the smell, as it makes it so the blood and odor doen’t have any hairs to stick onto. How can I reduce the smell more? I’m starting school tomorrow and definitely don’t want to bother anyone with my body odor! Please help a girl out! 🙏 😭 submitted by /u/jinxies_IC
