Is it normal to discharge out of virgina so bad that you need to use a pad?

Vaginal discharge: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.

Depends: vaginal discharge can vary from woman to woman and at different times of the month. If the smell and color is different you might want to check with your gyn. Otherwise probably normal part of cycle.
