I kept reading and hearing this and since it doesn’t happen to me I thought something was wrong with me. So I’d like to add that according to my gyn it’s also perfectly normal to not have this happen!
I keep hearing this but what is it? Is it a way the body regulates ph? Is it some sorta chemical reaction that happens internally that gets rejected by the body? Is it just mucus wherein the body just makes too much?
No they mean the pH of the actual secretions. Some vaginal secretions are more acidic than others and the pH of those secretions changes throughout the month and can be changed by the microbiome of the vagina.
Im not a vagina haver, and I hear that the PH levels can also slowly cause holes in a lot of fabrics. That sounds rough, my washing machine slowly ruins enough of my clothes on it own.
Id imagine friction between sock and shoe plays a bigger part there than friction can play with genitals and underwear. At least I hope so, I pity the poor bastards who got just as much friction there on a dialy basis lol.
Ugh so gross. So there’s only 1 possible solution, and they have to sell it to you. More options pleas3, not made of clunky, awkward pads which force me to wear Granny panties.
You know what’s extra fun about this?
Those secretions bleach underwear. That’s right, my cute black panties are all inevitably doomed to have a white spot in the crotch over time!

Depends on your Ph level. Everyone’s is different.
I have a phd.

Yeah I didn’t learn that until after I became one. That was a fun thing to be informed is normal after thinking something is wrong
My feet must sweat sulphuric acid then. :(

Yep, that’s why these things are sold

I didn’t say it was a good solution, just free.
