Noticed a “Bleach” Patch on Your Underwear? You better know what it means…
In today’s world, when our curiosity is aroused, we usually go online to get answers. Users no longer have to rummage through stacks of books to get the information they need; all it takes is a click of a mouse. Why do sometimes my underwear seem to have bleach stains? It’s a question that many people wonder, but it has recently gone popular online and sparked a lot of discussion.
The mysterious phenomenon quickly became an interesting topic once other women realized they weren’t alone in experiencing it. It all started with a single inquiry on a popular forum. As usual, internet users gave their thoughts, but experts provided a clear and compelling answer. The perpetrator? **Natural pH values of the vagi**.
Why Are Those Discolorations There?
No need to be worried about those lighter patches or “bleach stains” on underwear, according to health experts. In fact, they show how well the vagina is doing! Vagi** has a mildly acidic pH that ranges naturally from 3.8 to 4.5. In spite of its usefulness in fighting off harmful germs and illnesses, its acidity may fade the color of fabrics over time.

A spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Dr. Vanessa MacKay, said that brighter spots in a woman’s underwear or underpants are common due to the acidic nature of the vagi. I suppose we can now dismiss the notion that it’s because of a lack of hygiene. A healthy vagi** will really allow you to bleach the cloth.
How Does Vagi Get Its Acidity?Being acidic is one of the vagi’s natural defensive mechanisms. Maintaining it is the job of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus, which produce lactic acid. By creating an environment inhospitable to harmful microbes, this acidity effectively prevents infections.
The NIH reports that the typical pH range for vagi** is between 3.8 and 5.0. The pH of pure water, on the other hand, is 7. A lot of women notice discoloration or “bleach stains” on their clothes because of this, which means the vagi** is much more acidic.
