As the caption says every time I’m on my period I get this distinct “smell”. It’s not a gross smell or fishy or anything just a strange smell. Maybe kind of rusty but not really, kind of a must? Do pheromones release or something? I’m usually very clean on my periods, I change my pads/ tampons regularly, every time I go to the bathroom I wipe with a wet wipe and I take showers regularly. I just noticed that this period it’s a bit stronger and I can smell it in my bedroom, in the bathroom, not overwhelmingly but I notice it’s there. I’ve just wondered if other women had a distinct smell that is associated with their period and if you’ve ever experienced this or if I just don’t realize I’m gross or something.
