so your pubes are really beneficial for catching bacteria before it can reach your skin and mix with your sweat, which is what causes BO. since there’s nothing to catch the bacteria, that’s likely what it is. next time just leave a landing strip, or you could try an all-over deodorant like URO or Lume!

it can! that bacteria can trigger the naturally occurring candida fungus (aka yeast) to grow more. you could be at the very start of a yeast infection, or that could just be a natural scent that you haven’t noticed before since pubic hair also covers up some internal odor
