Okay, now, this is getting ridiculous... Why is my dark underwear getting "bleached"?

So, now I notice that my dark underwear is getting "bleached" in the crotch.  What is going on?  Can pregnancy get any weirder?  I found info that says "it's normal", but I would like to know what is going on with my body.

IDK why this happens but mine is like that too.  :(  I just started wearing liners to prevent it.

There's a natural acidity to vaginal discharge and if they aren't washed right away it can cause the color to appear bleached.

I suggest panty liners.... But it's normal lol

So, is there anything I can do to counteract the acidity, or is it okay for my body to produce that much acid?  It doesn't seem like that is healthy, toxic discharge!

Totally normal, it's a feature to protect baby from invaders, lol

Nope nothing to change it.... Think of it the same as pit stains... It's the natural part of your body that stains the clothes.

Just wear a liner and you'll save your panties lol

Really?  Now that makes sense.  I just noticed it happening, all new to me...  Unfortunately, pantyliners make me itch immediately (I know, TMI), so I guess, I have to wear my granny-panties from here on out!  Only 10 more days left, I'll live.

Yup, only things you don't care if they get ruined
