If you find a “bleach” patch on your underwear, you’d better know what it means

When we are in need of certain information, the first thing we turn to

is the Internet. Unlike many years ago when people went straight to the library to seek knowledge, now that knowledge is just a click away.

Among the countless websites, there are those that deal with threads

where people ask questions, and honestly, nettizens never disappoint.

Recently, someone posted a question eager to learn why their underwear

appears to have bleach stains on it sometimes.

Well, it turned out that many ladies wanted to know the answer to the question,

realizing they are not alone and that many others have experienced this “issue.”

As always, many were quick to provide answers. It turned out that it is

the vagina’s natural pH levels that really produce these “bleach” spots.

According to experts, this isn’t a reason for concern. On the contrary,

it is an indicator that your pH levels, which indicate how acidic or alkaline a liquid or a substance is, are normal.

“Now that everyone is aware, it’s completely normal to discover lighter

patches in a woman’s underwear or knickers due to the acidic nature of the vagina, with a pH range of 3.8-4.5.

So, I suppose it’s time to abandon the notion of it being a result of poor hygiene.

In fact, a healthy vagina is one that can bleach the fabric,” Dr.

Vanessa MacKay of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated.

She explained that the vagina has a natural secretory system that allows it to clean itself. It is protected by the good bacteria that it contains.

 

The National Institutes of Health states that the pH of the vagina typically fluctuates from 3.8 to 5.0, which means that it is rather acidic compared to the normally neutral pH level of 7.

“Disturbing the natural balance can lead to infections, but it’s perfectly normal and healthy for women to have clear or white discharge from their vagina,” Dr. MacKay added.

If you were among those wondering what is the reason behind these stains now you can rest at ease. Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.

MY DAUGHTER SWITCHED SEATS MID-FLIGHT—AND I FOUND OUT WHY TOO LATE It was supposed to be a quiet flight. Just me and my daughter, Reyna, heading to Phoenix to see my sister. I’d packed snacks, downloaded a few cartoons on the iPad, and even brought her unicorn plushie that she won’t sleep without. We boarded early, settled into our seats—me by the window, Reyna in the middle. I had just started zoning out, watching the tarmac, when I realized she was no longer beside me. I turned my head and there she was, squished in next to a man across the aisle, looking up at him like she knew him. “Reyna,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “Come back over here, baby.” She turned to me with the most serious face I’ve ever seen on a four-year-old and said, “No, I wanna sit with Grandpa.” I laughed awkwardly. “Sweetie, that’s not Grandpa.” The man looked just as confused as I was. “I’m sorry,” he said, glancing between us. “I’ve never met her before.” But Reyna didn’t budge. She grabbed the man’s arm with both hands and leaned in like she was guarding him. “She knows me,” she insisted. “You’re Grandpa Mike.” My stomach dropped. Not because I recognized the guy—he was a stranger to me—but because of the name. Mike. That’s my dad’s name. The dad who left when I was seven. The one Reyna’s never met. The one I never talk about. I tried to laugh it off again, but something about the way Reyna kept staring at him made my chest tighten. The man looked just as shaken as I felt. Then he said something I didn’t expect.⬇️ Continue reading in the first comment 👇
