Will venereal diseases or other else be transmitted through water? yesterday i accidentally put my clothes into a washing machine, however, with water in it! when i tried to take my clothes and beddings out, i found others sanitary pad in water!

Through water...: Through water means different things to different people in different situations. If "through water" means a couple having sex in the shower... diseases can be transmitted. If "through water" means wearing clothes after they've been cleaned via a normal washer-dryer cycle, no worries. Haven't seen any epidemics transmitted by clothing that has been through modern washer-dryers using detergent.
