This is the real reason why clear spots appear in your underwear
Friend, pay attention to what we are going to say: you are not the only one who has clear spots on her dark underwear.And no, it has nothing to do with your hygiene, with your menstrual flow or with any shameful reason that could occur to you.The reality is that the vagina can fade dark underwear.
The debate has been promoted on social networks by millions of users, after the Museum of the Camden Town market vagina, in London, the United Kingdom, published a series of images of its Muff Busters exhibition.In one of the images shared on Twitter, we see some gray and blue panties with small clearer spots in the intimate area.
Why does this happen?
The explanation of this ‘phenomenon’ that is more common than you think is simple: the acidity of the vaginal pH can fade into the underwear.Experts explain the vagina is acidic and has a pH of 3.8 to 4.5, that is, acid enough to bleach the fabric.This serves as a microbiological barrier to prevent infections caused by bacteria, fungi and other pathogens.
The pH is changing according to the stage of the menstrual cycle, the age of the person and can also do so due to other factors, such as obesity, diabetes, the use of contraceptive method such as IUD or antibiotic treatments.In childhood it is usually neutral (7.0), and during menstruation and slightly acidic menopause (6.8) or slightly alkaline (7,2).In the premenstrual phase and pregnancy, the pH is acid (between 3.8 and 4.2) and, finally, during the rest of the cycle it is less acidic (4.0 and 5.0).
As the vagina museum has said: “Then, you are not just you.The clearest patches in the panties are normal, and there is nothing to be ashamed of! ”.@mundiario
