1. What is the so-called white discharge?
The vagina is constantly busy keeping its environment clean and healthy . The white discharge acts as a kind of bouncer that kicks out all unwanted intruders. The tissue fluid is transported from the lower tissue layers of the vagina to the surface, which in turn ensures that everything down there is always nice and moist .
This allows dead cells to be easily flushed out, keeping everything naturally super fresh.
It also protects against bacteria getting in . The white discharge starts about one to two years before your first period. Your sexual organs wake up from their slumber and become active. But don't worry, you still have enough time to prepare for your first period.
2. How does the discharge change over the course of the cycle?
Once you have had your first period, the discharge will continue. However, on some days you will have more discharge and on other days less. This depends on the course of the cycle. Shortly before and during ovulation, the hormone levels change . This tells the ovaries that it is time to send an egg on its journey.
During this time, wet panties are inevitable due to the increased white discharge. This is because the watery, protein-like discharge plays a crucial role in fertility.
When sperm are on their way to the newly released egg, they can survive long enough in the uterus. After ovulation, the discharge becomes a little thicker and stickier. Your discharge can therefore tell you quite a lot about the course of your cycle. Who would have thought?!
3. Discharge during hormonal changes
Have you recently switched from a hormonal contraceptive method to a hormone-free contraceptive method? Then it is completely normal that your body needs to regulate itself again due to this hormonal change.
During this time, you may experience increased discharge, sometimes so heavy that your panties cannot contain it.
4. Stop discharge with panty liners
As you can see , white discharge is completely normal and does not have to be unpleasant. In fact, it is a sign that we are completely healthy. However, if the discharge is greenish or is accompanied by burning and itching, you should have it checked out by a doctor.
If you still feel uncomfortable with very heavy discharge, panty liners can help - but they are definitely not a must. On normal days, panties are completely sufficient as protection, because that is one of the things they are there for. However, you should avoid too much intimate hygiene with shower gel and the like, because they can really mess up your vaginal flora. The discharge serves as a natural cleansing agent. To help, you can wash the intimate area with clear water or an intimate wash lotion (with the same pH value as the vaginal flora).
We believe that discharge should not be a taboo subject, just like periods. Society simply doesn't talk about the subject enough or doesn't talk about it at all, so we're doing it now!
So, be proud of your discharge.
