Can guys smell when a girl is on her period?

I can smell myself when I am on my period its this gross copper/metal smell and I am paranoid everyone else can smell it too when I walk by or something... is this true? Can guys and other people smell it...from what distance? Like I usually have it under control but at the gym I really notice it...

  • There have been two times I worked with women who gave off an odor during their period. I have discussed it with a couple of women who said it's a matter of regular bathing. I was within five to ten feet at the time, and if you knew the situation, you would know I did not want to get any closer.

    For the most part, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I worked out in gyms for years, and the women were far from the stinkiest element.

  • Hi! You can smell it, somebody else can also! And the copper metal is it ! I can smell it too but from a distance I would say that it depends on the strenght since I can only detect it from close up.

    Don't worry too much since not too many guys realize what this smell is from! Of all the people I know just a few guys can ! ( 3 )

    And it does not push us away neither!

    Excuse my English I am french Canadian

  • Blood smells like metal. There is nothing you can do, it's blood.

    Don't worry guys like blood and gore!

    As long as you are healthy it's normal.

  • ... no. No not really. Up close maybe, but I mean think about this realistically - do YOU smell when people other than yourself are menstruating?

    • yeah but I use a pad and I feel like most people don't so I don't smell anything lol

    • I guarantee you that plenty of people still use pads, including myself. It doesn't change the fact that most people really can't tell without being all up in there. You're fine.

    • But if it wafts to me when I'm standing , isn't it also going to other people around me or when I walk by someone? :(

  • no

  • Is that your way of calling men dogs? Nice try.

  • not really noticeable with all the other smells around. you do not need to worry about it. us guys usually smell much worse and drown you out. .

  • No we can't smell it. At least I've never noticed it nor would I be able to recognize the smell. If you're self conscious about it, maybe mask it with perfume...

  • No.
