What to Do if Your Underwear Becomes Wet: Helpful Tips and Recommendations

Hello! Today, we will discuss what to do if your underwear becomes wet due to vaginal discharge and whether you should use daily pads. Let’s find out more!

Is Vaginal Discharge Normal?

The presence of vaginal discharge is completely normal. Women typically experience vaginal discharge, and it changes throughout the menstrual cycle. After menstruation, the discharge is lighter. In the middle of the cycle, during ovulation, discharge increases and becomes more mucous and stretchy. Just before menstruation, discharge may change in character and become thicker. These are normal changes during the menstrual cycle.

When to Worry About Discharge?

However, if you experience unpleasant odors, discomfort, itching, or irritation along with your discharge, it may be a sign of an issue. In such cases, it's important to consult a gynecologist. Relying on daily pads in these situations can actually make things worse, as they create a false sense of cleanliness and may lead to a "greenhouse effect" that could worsen the situation.

What to Do During Ovulation?

If you have heavy discharge during ovulation, it's okay to use cotton pads that are breathable. These will not create a "greenhouse effect," and changing them twice a day will keep you feeling clean and comfortable.

When to See a Gynecologist?

If you experience symptoms like itching, discomfort, irritation, or an unpleasant odor, it’s necessary to consult with a gynecologist. These could be signs of an underlying issue that needs professional attention.
