Vaginal Discharge

Ew. What is this white stuff in my undies? Vaginal discharge is totally normal. The inside of your vagina, just like the inside of your mouth and nose, is covered with a mucus membrane — a type of body tissue that produces moisture. In fact, if the vaginal lining stayed dry you’d be at risk for infections! Vaginal discharge is actually a sign of a healthy body — it happens to every girl!

Vaginal discharge is a PMS symptom. It’s clear and creamy and has a very slight sweet or soapy smell. If you notice a smelly, itchy or discolored vaginal discharge, you should contact your doctor because it could be a symptom of a yeast infection. Lots of women experience these so don’t worry. Your doctor should be able to get it cleared up.

Most girls produce more mucus during the middle of their menstrual cycle — usually a couple of weeks after a period. This is because you’re ovulating!

You don’t have to deal with damp undies. Always Sheer Liners are a quick fix to keep you dry!
