Hi Tracey99. I totally understand where you are coming from. I have the same issue & the only thing that I have found that works for me is shaving that area. I have tried wearing panty liners that are supposed to take moisture away from that area, but they don't work. But if I shave that area I do not have the smell or as much sweat & then the panty liners work a little better.

THANKS WILL TRY THIS.

Hi Tracey99. I am just wondering how everything is going? I hope that you have been able to find some sort of relief from the moisture problem. Have a wonderful day!
