Meghan knew something was wrong the morning after they’d had sex. The 34-year-old from Manchester had slept with someone she met on a night out; the details were blurry, but it had been incredibly uncomfortable. “It felt really unpleasant and painful, but I didn’t think much of it.” The following week, she was on the train for a work trip when she noticed a “really horrible, pungent smell”.
“At first I thought it must be something on the train, but as the day progressed I realised the smell was following me,” she says. “I started to feel really confused, embarrassed and pretty disgusting, to be honest. It was only on the journey home later, after a colleague mentioned the smell, that it clicked.”
