The Internet as a Knowledge Tool
The internet is an incredible resource filled with endless information. It’s “a never-ending source of shared knowledge” where you can find answers to almost any question. With just a few clicks, problems that once seemed unsolvable can now be quickly resolved.

Debunking Common Myths Online
Many old myths have been disproved thanks to online discussions. For example, some women have wondered why their underwear sometimes shows bleach-like stains. The answer, found through online research, is surprising and reassuring.

Understanding the “Bleach” Stains
Contrary to some beliefs, these stains “have nothing to do with your computer.” Instead, they come from the vagina’s natural acidity. A useful tweet explains: “It’s completely normal to discover lighter patches in a woman’s underwear due to the acidic nature of the vagina, with a pH range of 3.8-4.5.” This means the stains are not a sign of poor hygiene but a sign of a healthy vagina that can “bleach the fabric.”

Expert Explanation on Vaginal Health
Dr. Vanessa MacKay from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says the vagina “has a natural secretory system that allows it to clean itself” and is protected by good bacteria. According to the National Institutes of Health, the vagina’s pH “typically fluctuates from 3.8 to 5.0,” making it acidic compared to neutral pH 7. Dr. MacKay adds, “Disturbing the natural balance can lead to infections, but it’s perfectly normal and healthy for women to have clear or white discharge from their vagina.”
