There is no delicate way to bring it up, and unless she's a chain smoker with no sense of smell, it's pretty much impossible for her to not notice her own odor. She knows something is not right. Non-cotton panties alone will never make a woman smell that bad.

There are a couple of things that come to mind that would promote such an odor:
UTI or yeast infection, which can be caused by any of the following...
Leaving in tampons for too long
Anal & vaginal intercourse in the same session
Douching
Poor hygiene (some women never bother to clean that part when showering)
Not changing or washing underwear daily
Or...
Atkins or other meat-heavy diet

A friend of mine really struggles with that last one. Since she started a modified Atkins diet to minimize seizures, she has been very careful about wearing cotton panties and using cleansing wipes, but she still struggles. Abrupt and significant changes in diet can wreak havoc on the vaginal flora.

Your friend - since her divorce, has she had good health care? Does she seem especially stressed? These factors could be impacting her health more than she realizes. Perhaps you could shower together, or encourage her to relax by running her a hot bath - find a way to incorporate cleaning into your foreplay.
