In the days before my period, my boyfriend always notices that I smell metallic. And it’s so funny because he always smells it like one to two days before my period!
I don’t mean my vagina either, he like smells it on my skin or my sweat. It’s so strange, does any one else or their partner ever smell their period coming? Is it a change in hormones or pheromones?
Comments
I’ve had several partners say the same thing
Some people just have crazy noses. One of my male friends can, as a creepy party trick, tell by smell which women in the room are on their period
I can smell her period and her arousal pretty easily. Just hoping if something ever doesn’t smell so good down there I can’t smell it as easily. 🙂
100%.
Some people.have a keen sense of smell, sometimes for very specific things. I am pretty much nose blind but I can tell when someone speaking to me is getting a respiratory infection before they get symptoms.
My high school boyfriend told me it was something to do with my breath, he could always tell! So weird!
Im so glad I’m not that weird now! I can always smell it regardless of perfume.
I definitely do on myself
I think theyre just perverts and have memorized when yall periods come around to make you think he has special pheromone sniffing powers (which humans biologically dont have.) Because boys are all about constantly trying to prove how animalistic and special they are
My ex told me he knew my period was coming because the smell of my breath changed. I thought this was crazy coming from a guy who smoked two packs a day and smelled like a wet ashtray drenched in Old spice.
I can smell it on myself too.
Same with me. Wife and I have been together for 34 years and I always could but I have an uncanny sense of smell. There is a woman documented and tested who can smell Parkinsons and Alzheimers disease.
My wife can smell my different moods. sniff sniff “are you ok?” sniff sniff “what’s wrong?”
my vagina smells different a few days before my period. not like period, just different.
I can smell it on myself. It’s not metallic though, just a very specific smell.
I could on one of my exes but not my current partner.
Yep
My best friend can smell hers coming.
It’s due to hormonal changes. I could always tell myself that way (irregular cycle due to endometriosis), and my partner often could also.
Not a smell for me, but a feeling. Hard to describe but kind of chemical. She always knows I know because I’ll ask her if she wants to go out for a burger. It’s sort of an ongoing joke we have
I used to think that way but then worked in a tampon and pad factory.
Turns out I could smell the odor control chemicals. They’re not perfumes per se but you can clearly smell it once you know what it is. I can now tell pretty much anytime a woman is wearing products containing OC around me. Metallic is a good way of describing it.
Yes. My husband has an especially acute nose…he can tell when people are on their periods when they’re just walking by him. Also could tell when I was pregnant before a test after the first time, and could smell when my late father in law came home from work from two rooms away by the cigarette smell.
Same for my ex
You can tell based on the smell of the exhaled air from a woman’s nose.
My girlfriend (wlw) swears when I’m about to start my period it makes her have like pseudo cramps
Is he autistic? I’m autistic and I can smell a lot of things others don’t like if people recently have gone grocery shopping I can tell which one you went to if I’ve been there before. Also if people don’t wash their belly button I can tell
I’ve never heard of that! Friggin cool!
