252. It was narrated from 'Aishah that a woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about performing Ghusl following menstruation and he told her how to perform Ghusl. Then he said: "Take a piece of cloth perfumed with musk and purify yourself with it." She said: "How should I purify myself with it?" He covered his face then said: "Subhân Allâh! Purify yourself with it." 'Aishah said: "I took the woman aside and said: 'Wipe away the traces of blood with it.'"(Sahih)

Commentary
Since menstrual blood smells bad, a woman should, beyond taking a bath, take additional steps to clean her private area. For instance, she might think of using fragrance, so that the odor of the blood is eradicated.
