Gross question just wondering if I'm the only one...
I'm sorry if this is just too gross but I'm curious, and when I tried to talk to a friend about it she looked at me like I was crazy. Does anyone else just feel nasty b/c of your discharge? It's not that it's abnormal or anything, it's just gross to me. I wear panty-liners everyday, but it still makes me feel disgusting. How do y'all deal with it?
Re: Gross question just wondering if I'm the only one...
Mine actually embarrasses me.....especially when it comes out of nowhere! I hate the feeling it brings afterward when I can't just go and change my underwear. Not that it's a lot of it, I just don't like the damp feeling.

Discharge is normal; it's your vagina's way of self cleaning.
a healthy vagina has its normal discharge...
..now if the discharge is green/yellow with a horrible odor..then that is GROSS and DISGUSTING...
otherwise...it is very normal...

likewise! I wear pantiliners often, but sometimes its best to let yourself 'air out', for health reasons. Pantiliners restrict breathing in that um, region, and can create a moist area for bacteria and stuff to grow out of control.
So at the end of the day, know that you are perfectly normal and use pantiliners in moderation!!!
I did not know that, so thank you very much!! I know the last thing we all want is issues in that area. lol
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker
Like a previous poster stated a healthy vag cleans itself, ovulation discharge is also normal it means your ready for a baby
If your discharge is chunky and smells like a bread factory, or it is green/yellow or foul smelling then it's time to see the doctor.
Also be careful with wear concelling things like panty liners, nylon underware(even lacy undies) overwashing or taking multipule showers a day and douching because it can lead to yeast infections or worse.
Those of you who have heavy discharge I would also speak with a gyno about it you could possibly have an infection
I think the reason why some people find it gross is because no one talks about it. Or if they do, they have a reaction like your friend's. Such taboo.
Personally, I don't like the feel of it, because sometimes it feels like I wet my pants. That's the only reason I don't like it. But I know that it IS totally natural and healthy, so when I do see it, I don't worry.
