I remember a friend of mine once asking me to smell her because she was not sure if people could smell her. When she described it, she said that she had just stopped her periods and it has been 3 days since she started having a smelly brown discharge that she could not explain. She said that when she sat down, she, or opened her legs the smell became more pungent and she. I could see she was withdrawn, this was not the friend I knew.
