You may have seen some tweets recently about the #PantyChallenge.
It's referring to people snapping pictures of their squeaky-clean underwear, supposedly showing that they're free of any bodily fluids.
Here's why that's bullshit: Vaginal discharge is a healthy, normal bodily function. And no one should be shamed for having too little or too much of it in their underwear.
That ~vaginal moisture~ is just a mix of cervical mucus and vaginal secretions.
The amount that shows up in your underwear can depend on a lot of factors.
Another cool thing about discharge: It's like a vaginal barometer that tells you if something is up.
The bottom line is that vaginal moisture is a normal physiological process.
So instead of posting pictures of your drawers and creating yet another thing for women to be scrutinized over, let's all celebrate the self-cleaning and moisturizing prowess of vaginas.
