Sweating between your legs is completely normal — especially during puberty. That’s when your sweat glands in the groin and underarms become more active because of hormones. Sweat helps your body stay cool, and the area between your legs is warm and closed, so it’s more noticeable there.

Many people worry about odor, but sweat itself doesn’t smell much. The smell appears when sweat mixes with bacteria on the skin, especially if you wear tight clothes or synthetic fabrics that don’t breathe. It doesn’t mean you’re dirty.

To stay fresh, wear cotton underwear, change daily, and try to skip pantyliners when possible. After workouts or hot days, changing clothes isn’t about hygiene — it’s simply to feel more comfortable.

If you notice itching, irritation, or burning, it might be yeast or skin irritation. Talk to a nurse or youth clinic — it’s easy to treat.
