I've recently changed jobs & have moved from a small organisation to a large one.
There are 2 blocks of toilets on my floor & one of them is near the canteen which is on my floor, so potentially gets more traffic

But Oh. My. God. The smell of unwashed foof is overwhelming. On top occasions I've opened the door to go into the room where there are 3 cubicles & backed out. It's revolting.
It's not crap. It's unwashed under carriages & to be honest I'm pretty shocked by it.

The toilets are clean & looked after. I see the cleaners in & out etc..they are internal so no windows & ventilation is obviously very poor.

I work in local government & there's a dress code etc so people look presentable but Jesus christ a lot of the women using these facilities REALLY need to improve their hygiene..

I don't remember this being so bad before but I might have been spoiled when working in small offices before.

I wish people would wash more 🤢 i read the threads here with people claiming not to need/ bother showering daily & that they don't smell etc but my experience says otherwise!

I shower every morning & wear clean clothes daily. And now I've become a bit paranoid about smelling....!!

Unwashed vulvas can smell.
It's a smell that I recognise from being in school/communal changing rooms/puberty and living in very hot climates.

I have also smelt the same smell when with women who don't have easy access to washing facilities.

The smell does linger.

The issue is not the reality that sometimes some women may have a smell.
The issue is that you are completely tone deaf OP.

Women have been shamed for their vulvas/vaginas and periods etc.
We are told we are dirty and that we have to be perfect at all times.

Women are under attack from every corner at the moment and we should be showing discretion and protecting each other rather than judging on public forums for things that are likely completely out of people's control.

Public forums where the things that are said here are frequently used against women as a whole.

Someone may look professional, but be struggling with mental health or physical health.

Women who have been abused can struggle with personal hygeine too due to triggers.

Regardless, the way you speak and the language you use is incredibly immature and unnecessary.
