Ever found mysterious bleach spots on your underwear and wondered where they came from? You’re not alone! A lot of women have been asking the same question, and the answer might surprise you.
In today’s internet age, we can find answers to almost anything with a few taps on our phones. What once felt like unsolvable mysteries are now just a search away. From life hacks to debunked myths, the web has it all.

So, what’s the deal with those bleach-like stains on your underwear? Some people have blamed the washing machine, but it turns out the cause is much more natural—and totally normal!
Dr. Vanessa MacKay, a top expert from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, explains that the vagina has a natural self-cleaning process. Through healthy secretions, the body keeps everything in balance. These secretions, which are perfectly normal, can sometimes cause the spots that look like bleach stains.

The National Institutes of Health also adds that the vagina’s pH is naturally acidic (around 3.8 to 5.0), which helps protect it. So, those spots? No need to panic—they’re just a sign that your body is doing what it’s supposed to.

So, next time you see a mysterious bleach stain on your underwear, remember it’s not something to worry about. Your body is just keeping things clean and balanced.
