NG and pig are most spot on (in my opinion) about how to handle this. If you're big into garlicky foods and such, it's going to affect everything, including vaginal secretions. Inexperience is also a bigger factor than you realize - frankly, cooters take some getting used to. The first time I saw one that wasn't mine, it looked like some kind of alien life form. It's difficult to get used to all that wet stuff in your face, too. So give yourselves some time with this! Try some purely exploratory days, where you're just looking and inspecting every square mm of each other. That can help, and it's fun.
As far as cleanliness, kirk might have a point. Closer shaved (you can get a cooter trimmer with an attachment to trim the hair, it's pretty cool) is easier to manage, and since bidets aren't possible for most of us, consider those cottonelle wipes - very handy and I sure feel better using those than plain paper.
Most of all, you just get used to each other. Remember, when you first started dating, I bet bad breath was noticeable on him once in a while, right? At least in the morning? And now, well, even morning breath isn't bad, it's just the way he is. It's gotten to the point where I kinda *like* Q's morning breath. Cooters are the same way. Familiarity breeds affection in this case.
