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
hi
well im 14 years old & i always like everyday of the month have discharge it is white & it smells ugly but ive never had sex i need help.
I have dischrage whilE period is on hellpppp!
i haven’t discharged heavily! every time the liquid comes out even after sex also is it normal for my health??
a few days after having sex i started to get this reddish brown discharge come out… what does this mean and is it not normal help please
i think if its red it maybe your period
probably just a little old stuff from inside being knocked out… no worries
it can also be from seeing an attractive guy not just right before your period
It seems like I have discharge way to much , and sometimes i can smell it through my “undergarments” and sometimes I will even have to throw them out, akkk what can I do is there something wrong!?
Same here. I end up wearing panty liners every day. Talk about sucky
Me too! When I went to the doctor, she told me I had a yeast infection. But it’s come back after two months.
I have discharge that’s really bad it goes right threw my underwear and my pants all the time and i can smell it! How do i make it stop going threw my pants i cant stand it anymore !!:/ whats your advice for???
Wear pantiliners. But if it’s THAT heavy, maybe wear a pad? I suggest you visit the doctor. In my point of view, I think of a vagina discharges heavily there might be a lot of Bactria and its trying to get it out. Visit a doctor ASAP.discharge going through your pants and underwear dosnt sound normal. I’m not a doctor. But this is all I know.

I wear pantyliners because i hate feeling “wet/gooy” it works for me.
When I masturbate I also get that goo…is that still considered a discharge?
I’m so glad it’s normal, I though something was wrong with me
I sweat like crazy bad too. But um On the side of the flaps or vagina thing down thee I have hick milky white stuff down there. I was trying to put Ina tampon and saw the stuff. Is it normal???
what if you get a lot of discharge before period, it gets so wet down there! once when i was at school it looked like I peed! but from the back….its so gross, i bring extra clothes to change and sometimes i wear panitlliners
also is it just me or what, i sweat a lot, like really alot! i sweat even if a havn’t been running or anything! it wont be hot or sweating i will be indoors and i am still sweating like crazy
is this normal?
omg same for me, and i sweat alot to, i dont feel all alone anymore. i think its normal though
I get a lot right before and after my period.
Everyone says they wear pantiliners… I cant cuz it causes irritation. But at least my discharge never stains my underwear… and if it did i wouldnt care
It’s not bad if it’s so heavy you have to wear pantiliners. I have to wear paintiliners sometimes too. You should only worry if it smells bad, changes colour AND increases in amount. So you’ll know if something is wrong
All of those things are normal i think
What if its like clumpy balls?
Infection!!
Sometimes its clear or a clearish yellow..ish…is that ok???
Okay, I want to know if it’s weird that I have whitish yellow discharge, and it stains my panties. I haven’t had my period, but I’ve had discharge for about a year and a half, maybe a little less. Is that normal?
That seems normal. In high school mine was like that every so often. Wear the thin panty liners if you can. They help the staining.
is it bad that my discharge is so heavy that i have to wear panty liners or else my undies will be stained??? helppp
Hopefully not. I have the same thing! I have no clue :/
It’s Perfectly Normal sweetie

Yeah, I just wear panty liners every day
It is not weird, britt. There are specially designed thin panty liners for such things!
