Bleach-like stain on underwear: what does it mean?

No, it’s not dirty. Yes, it’s natural!

For a long time, some women believed that these marks were synonymous with poor hygiene or health problems. The good news is that it’s quite the opposite! According to Dr. Vanessa MacKay of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a vagina that can “discolour” tissue is a healthy vagina.

In reality, wanting to eliminate or hide these natural losses at all costs can sometimes be counterproductive. Using aggressive products, washing too frequently or with unsuitable gels can disturb this precious intimate flora.

What to remember (and above all to play down)

These light spots on your underwear are simply the result of normal vaginal discharge, a totally physiological phenomenon. They can vary in color, texture, and quantity depending on hormonal cycles, but as long as they remain odorless and uncomfortable, there’s no need to worry.

Practical tip: to preserve your underwear longer, choose cotton panties and avoid irritating products. And why not opt for dark models if these brands bother you visually?

In short, these small, discreet marks are a reflection of a well-orchestrated intimate balance: one more reason to trust your body.
