Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that foul smelling discharge from Vagina with increased wetness since 2 weeks can be most probably due to Bacterial Infection known as Bacterial Vaginosis..
It can also be due to fungal or Trichomonas infection but is most commonly bacterial infection..
I would suggest you to consult a Gynaecologist and get evaluated and she can do a clinical evaluation and also advise a vaginal swab culture and specific tests like" Whiff test" to confirm the diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
Treatment will be done as per cause.
In case of bacterial infection you can be advised:
1. Antibiotics like Metronidazole can be advised..
2. Abstain from sex till the infection resolves.
3.You should continue to put pantyliners to avoid soiling your panties if the discharge is continuous as the panties can cause re-infection..
4.You should wear loose fitting and cotton clothes..
5.Maintain proper hygiene..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
