No, according to reports, the real reason for these "bleach" patches is due to the natural pH levels of the vagina.
Before we continue, it's important to emphasize that there is no need to worry about this. Instead, discovering the mentioned spots on your underwear is a good sign. As we are aware, pH levels show if a liquid is acidic or alkaline. According to a useful tweet:
"Now that everyone knows, it's common to find lighter spots in a woman's underwear because of the acidic environment of the vagina, which has a pH level between 3.8 and 4.5." I think it's time to stop thinking that it's because of not being clean. A healthy vagina is one that can whiten fabric.
Dr. Vanessa MacKay, from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, says: "The vagina cleans itself with its own natural secretions." It has helpful bacteria that help keep it safe.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the typical pH level in the vagina is between 3.8 and 5.0, which means it is somewhat acidic compared to the neutral pH level of 7.
Dr. MacKay explains that it is completely normal and healthy for women to have clear or white fluid coming from their vagina. However, disrupting this natural balance can cause infections.
