no, it is not normal. you probably have an infection and should consult a doctor. you should start wiping when you pee and practice better hygiene

you could have a yeast infections, consider wiping from now on when you pee.

You need to wipe all the time. Not wiping could lead to infections.

Anyways, a strange smell usually does indicate an infection, usually a yeast infection. I'd recommend going to the doctor as soon as you can because the longer you wait, the worse it gets.

For those who don't seem to know, urine is sterile. Not wiping after you pee CANNOT cause any kind of infection.

It's not normal for it to smell really bad. It could be the result of putting soap or scented body wash around your vagina, which changes the pH and hence the bacterial and yeast populations. This could be causing some kind of infection. Make sure that you do not put any kind of soap directly around it.

vagina's do have a smell but if it's really bad you should go to your doctor for a check up.
But it might just be old pee. You really should wipe after peeing.
Shower twice a day and wash your vagina well, but don't use soap or anything - just lots of warm water.
