Is it normal to smell like sweat down there?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes—your groin can smell sweaty, especially after exercise, in hot weather, or in snug clothes. A persistent strong or unusual odor, especially with irritation or other symptoms, is worth getting checked.

Yes. The groin has sweat glands, and warmth, moisture, exercise, and snug clothing can make the area smell like sweat. That’s a normal body smell, and a quick wash and changing out of damp clothes is usually enough; avoid putting scented products inside the vagina or on sensitive genital skin, since they can irritate it.

If the odor is strong or unusual and sticks around, or comes with itching, pain, or an unusual discharge, get it checked by a healthcare professional.
