I (F) am bad at hydrating, and I think that plus me having active skenes glands are producing excretion that smell like diluted urine. Other than hyper hydrating and a good shower tomorrow, is there anything I can do to make it go away more in the short term?

FWIW I shower regularly, wipe until dry after peeing.

  • Are you talking about when you squirt a little? If thats the case, hydrating is imperative. Your bladder will fill up with the fluid produced and it will mix with what is in your bladder- so undiluted urine, even small amounts will smell like urine. The more water you consume the more dilute it will be and smell less like pee. Not a scientist, but this has been my experience.

    Do you think rapid hydration will help me for tomorrow? 😂

    As a gusher myself, yes. Absolutely.

    Ohh it will and same is guys if you're worried about it drink some pineapple juice it makes a squirt sweeter

    Being dehydrated really increases the not great smell

    Perfect, thank you!

  • I use a cornstarch body powder , scented or not.. after shower especially it helps reduce the "nervous" body type odors... I do this daily not specifically for sex lol

  • This has nothing to do with an "active skene's gland," so not sure where that's coming from... but, general advice applies-- hydrate, bathe, don't drink moonshine, wipe with a wet cloth after you pee... if you are on a keto diet, that can make you smell like pee.

    What? I have never heard of the keto thing lol. Certainly hasn’t been the case in my life

    Smelling ketones is a genetic thing, like tasting cilantro you either have it or no, and some folks stronger than others.

    I don't have it, but as described to me it smells like sour fruit, much the way that diabetic urine smells.

    Ohh keto can make it taste strong

    And, if you are talking about while squirting, not just vaginal wetness (which i read it to mean), that's because it is diluted urine, essentially. Dilute the urine (which can happen rapidly) and you further dilute the diluted urine.

    Exactly. Also…if your partner likes big squirts, the more water you drink, the better.

  • Boric acid suppositories have been amazing for me!! Use at bedtime w panties and possibly a liner bc it makes you really wet/have discharge but not in a bad way- like your body is flushing stuff out. Helps me stay fresh especially with daily creampies lmaooo. Cranberry juice and coconut water with pineapple are also helpful for me. Good luck!!!

    Using boric acid daily is horrible advice. While it is available OTC, it should be used AS DIRECTED by the OP's Healthcare provider. As with all medicines, prescription or not.

  • We're supposed to get some of our water through food as well. The nutrients in food help the water do different things.

    She does help water get into the cells but it'll also absorb all of the water. It's not good if your main diet is sodium.

  • Eat some pineapple and yogurt with breakfast and lunch and it can help you smell sweeter in the evening.

  • It smells like diluted urine because it is partially if not mostly urine.

    Yes a strange kinda acidic flavor , actually i don't really mind it . But if you're dehydrated its a bit intense
