A member asked:

My vaginal fluids take the color right off my underwear is that normal? they look like the crotch has been bleached

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discharge: Vaginal secretions take the pH of the vaginal canal. Normally, it is acidic. This could possibly explain the "bleaching effect" on your underwear. An alkaline pH is not a normal condition, though.
