If You Find A “Bleach” Patch On Your Underwear, You’d Better Know What It Means

Dr. Vanessa MacKay of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists clarifies that the vagina’s ability to self-clean through its secretions, which can lead to these light patches on fabric, is a normal function supported by beneficial bacteria. It’s a misconception that these patches are a result of poor hygiene.

In fact, they indicate a well-balanced vaginal environment. Understanding this helps demystify the body’s natural processes and emphasizes the importance of maintaining the natural pH balance for overall vaginal health.
