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.\n

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 \u201cissue.\u201d\n

As always, many were quick to provide answers. It turned out that it is the vagi**\u2019s natural pH levels that really produce these\u00a0\u201cbleach\u201d\u00a0spots.\n

According to experts, this isn\u2019t 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.\n

\u201cNow that everyone is aware, it\u2019s completely normal to discover lighter patches in a woman\u2019s underwear or knickers due to the acidic nature of the vagi**, with a pH range of 3.8-4.5. So, I suppose it\u2019s time to abandon the notion of it being a result of poor hygiene. In fact, a healthy vagi** is one that can bleach the fabric,\u201d Dr. Vanessa MacKay of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated.\n

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

 \n

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

\u201cDisturbing the natural balance can lead to infections, but it\u2019s perfectly normal and healthy for women to have clear or white discharge from their vagi**,\u201d Dr. MacKay added.\n

If you were among those wondering what is the reason behind these stains now you can rest at ease.\n
