When you contact bacterial vaginosis, it can smell awful, and it's usually a fishy smell. There's an abnormal vaginal discharge too. No one likes to go through something like this, and under this impression, people make mistakes of using a bunch of products to stop the smell even before their BV has been adequately treated. Using products while having BV can worsen the situation as they irritate your vagina. The best way is to stop using fancy products and just use plain water to wash the area as many times as you urinate daily.  Wearing breathable cotton underwear, maintaining a balanced diet, and drinking plenty of water can aid in removing BV in its early stage. If your situation has worsened, then immediately refer to a doctor.
