A smelly problem.

So, to be brief, the last time my girlfriend and I fooled around, she had a bit of a smell coming from her nether regions. I feel I should tell her, as I would expect her to do the same if I had a bit of an odor. However, I'm not sure how to do it. I'm sure it's a delicate matter, but I can't even tell a woman when she has bad breath, let alone stinky cheese. How should I go about this without embarrassing her?

This wasn't my first rodeo, my friend. I'm fully aware of what it's supposed to smell like. This wasn't it.
I'll just be going.

Oh no, first time with her. Everyone else has been fantastic.

Bad advice. Any kind of baby powder or talc powder can cause extra bacteria growth which can increase the smell and even cause a yeast and/or bladder infection.

Really? me and my girlfriend baby powder right after every shower and it keeps up fresh. Practice vs theories? Dunno, this is my advice from experience.
Not all women small the same down there, and not all women have the same ... potency, either. A strong smell is not necessarily indicative of a problem.
I will also say that when a girl has an infection, you can definitely tell by the smell, and it's not mistakable for anything else. If you think this could be the case, her discharge will tell a tale as well. If it has an almost solid-seeming consistency, that's one sign of a potential problem. And uh, just so you know, if she has a yeast infection it is not impossible for you to get one as well, so be aware of that and consult a doctor or pharmacist if you need to.
If she does not shower every day, this could also cause a stronger smell.
edit: Also, truth: You should never put anything down there that isn't soap and water, and even then you should be careful of what soap you use and how much. Ph balance is a tricky business, and that region needs to maintain a very specific one, so anything that messes with it at all (talc included) should be avoided at all costs. Messing with that is a really good way to cause infections of various types.
But, if it's just a little smell, something you're not used to, just have her clean down there beforehand.. Not a biggie. If it doesn't change, you'll just have to get used to it, and you have frequent sexual romps with her, it's bound to be unnoticable eventually.
I seem to notice an increase in odor with the same increase in hair (not saying shaved chicks can't smell too just my field experience seems to link hair with stinkyness)
The shower idea sounds like the best. But yeah If im about to go downtown and its cheese/fish city I pull a wave off and inform them of the problem. It's nothing a fast shower cant fix. Just dont be a dick about it. I mean you would def want them to tell you right?
This.
Also, about confronting her about the problem, don't make a biggie. It's as simple as 'Hey sweety, do you think you could wash up before we make love? I will too, so we're both nice and fresh for it.. Maybe we can together?" Now that's sweet talkin.
2 things.
1. If it's strong but without a "punch" of pungency, it's probably normal, girls are different (and the oils from hair tend to exacerbate, like BO)
2. Barring a yeast infection, I'd say:
Bacterial Vaginosis. Girls can have it for a long-ass time, there's really not much in the way of symptoms, except FISHY BADNESS NO NO NO
Limp moose, you're absolutely right. If my wang was a little ripe, I'd certainly want her to tell me. It's just the fact that I would be responsible for bringing on a potentially awkward situation for her that I don't like. Oh well, I'll get over it and tell her.
Note: she does trim, but doesn't shave. I'm sure that had a role to play in it.

I did that once and embarrassed myself because I took in a good bit of water through my nose and coughed up a storm. What sucks is something like this is such a huge turn off. I mean, to be honest, I'm not sure I want to give it another try hoping it was just a one-time thing. I feel dumb to admit that, but it's true.

It's all economic. But the going rate for a shave/trim is at most twenty minutes. Really, it's about value. Check back with her on Black Friday for deals.
I would be creeped out if a guy wanted to shave me.
Me too.. And scared. O.o
Then you're one of the lucky ones. Neither I nor any of the ladies I've been with have ever had a good experience with baby powder/talc. As well, my OB/GYNs over the years have told me to not use it, rather to use breathable cotton underoos.

really not a big deal. like letting a gf cut your hair.
Anyhow, hope you can figure this out, guy.

The idea was to basically bring it up as a "I wonder if something is wrong that you should get checked out". That way you're telling her about the odour issue as well as giving her the heads up that something might be wrong and you don't have to worry about her taking offense to it as much.
also something that i did not see brought up in here is diet. a female's ejaculate and odor can very greatly depending on their diet, just like a male's.
also if you bring it up, be very very gentle about it; it is embarrassing, she'll be horrified. i would follow the 'let's take a sexy shower time' suggestion.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO! NOT THIS!
Went down on a girl who had baby powdered down there, and yeah...no...
