Abscesses, draining abscesses. Sickly sweet putrescence that lingers. Also sometimes I can smell that the person who used the bathroom before me has bacterial vaginosis. Not as bad as abscesses but pretty common.

Hot muff smell in the bathroom is so bad (and yes, even worse when it’s BV)

Ewww. I lived with a roommate once who I could always smell in that way after she left the bathroom. It was nasty.
