Yet though there\u2019s seemingly no end to the advantages it brings to our daily lives, it\u2019s perhaps the fact that it\u2019s a bottomless well of shared knowledge that makes it arguably the greatest invention of recent centuries.\n

There is no topic that you can\u2019t read up on, no answer that\u2019s beyond your reach if you know where to look. Mysteries that would have remained elusive in all the decades up to now can be solved quite literally with a few clicks of a mouse, a few stabs at a keyboard.\n

Over the years we\u2019ve seen many old myths debunked online, just as we\u2019ve seen life-hacks and helpful hints become common knowledge, whereas once they would have been wisdoms held by only a small few.\n

Have you ever wondered, for example, why your underwear ends up looking like it\u2019s been stained by a bleach spot? If you have, you\u2019re apparently not alone, with the question being posed online by women seeking answers.\n

And answers they found. As it turns out, said patches of coloring have absolutely nothing to do with your machine (as some have speculated).\n

No, reports claim that the actual cause of these \u201cbleach\u201d patches is a result of the natural pH levels of the vagina.\n

As we know, pH levels determine the acidity or alkalinity of a given liquid or substance, and according to one helpful post on Twitter:\n

So, I suppose it\u2019s 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.\u201c\n

Dr. Vanessa MacKay, with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, explains: \u201cThe vagina has a self-cleaning mechanism through natural secretions. It contains beneficial bacteria that serve to protect it.\u201d\n

As per the National Institutes of Health, the usual vaginal pH ranges between 3.8 and 5.0, making it moderately acidic in relation to the naturally neutral pH level of\n

Dr. MacKay adds that it\u2019s perfectly normal and healthy for women to have clear or white discharge from their vagina, while disturbing the natural balance can lead to infections.\n
