What IS that stuff, anyway? | Source: Shutterstock
The good news is that discharge is totally normal and healthy. In fact, it’s something your body needs to stay clean and in tip-top-shape.
If you’ve ever wondered about that down-there goo, here’s all the info you need:
* Most girls start noticing a little bit of discharge before they even get their first period.
* Discharge helps keep your vagina clean and healthy by washing out any irritants or bad bacteria that might be up in there. It’s a good thing!
* The amount of discharge a girl has will vary throughout the month. Sometimes it might be thin and watery, sometimes it can be thicker.
* If you ever notice your discharge smelling strongly, or having a color other than clear or milky white, you could have an infection. Get to the doctor as soon as you can!

This or That
I dunno if it i because of heavy petting or because Ive just started havin sex. I have a lot of discharge and OMG I feel so embarrassed when my bf goes down on me. He keeps tellin me wat it looks like and he wipes it off. He told me not to worry and said it was because I am young and will start my periods soon. He said most gurls will have a discharge before they start their periods for the first time.I get so tense when he goes down on me because of this
