A health expert, Dr. Toluwani Binutu, says women should not be worried about the bleached spot that appears on their underwear, noting that stained underwear is a sign of a healthy vagina.
According to Binutu, the bleaching stain on underwear is an indicator of the health of the vagina.
Speaking via his Instagram handle, @tolubinutu, the UK-based health expert said it is normal that a woman’s vaginal discharge bleaches her underwear.
He said, “Sometimes women get worried when they notice their underwear has bleached spots on them.
“Some may even think that it means they have an infection down there. It is not true.
“Most times your normal vaginal discharge leaks to your undies and because vaginal discharge is acidic in nature, it interacts with the dye in your underwear and causes those ‘bleached’ areas.
“Basically, the bleached areas are proof that your vagina has a normal healthy pH level.
“The acidic nature of your vaginal discharge creates those bleached areas. It is a sign that you are healthy down there,” he said.
