One of the most important things you need to understand is about vaginal discharge. It may sound a bit gross, but every woman who gets a period gets vaginal discharge. And it’s for a good reason, as it’s the body’s way of keeping everything clean and healthy down there. As long as the discharge is clear to white or pale yellow, you have nothing to worry about. But if it does bother you, try using a liner. If you notice your discharge becoming a bit smelly or changing colour, you should see your doctor because you could have an infection.
