Have you heard of"TRANSIENT ADAPTATION"??
👂🏻Come closer let's talk👇🏻
Transient adaptation is the phenomenon whereby the eyes makes a quick and temporary adjustments when moving between different light levels.
👁️When you are out on a sunny day the pupils construct to limit the amount of light entering the eyes,but when you enter inside the pupils take a little time or seconds to dilate as well as adjust to the new light levels hence causing temporary visual disturbance or blindness. I believe everyone have experienced this at one point or the other.
👁️As a matter of fact this is temporary and normal.

WHY BLEACHED UNDERWEAR CAN BE A SIGN OF A HEALTHY VAGINA👙

A healthy va**na has a naturally acidic pH (about 3.8–4.5). This acidity is maintained by good bacteria known as Lactobacillus, which produce lactic acid. The acid helps prevent harmful microbes from growing and causing infections.
When this normal acidic va**nal discharge comes in contact with coloured underwear, it can react with the fabric dye and cause light or bleached-looking patches. This is often a sign that the va**na is functioning normally and maintaining a healthy environment.
The va**na is self-cleansing and constantly produces discharge. This fluid helps:
✔️ Keep va**nal tissues moist

✔️ Protect against infections

✔️ Remove dead cells

So, in many cases, bleached underwear is normal and healthy, not something to be ashamed or worried about.

Healthy va**nal discharge is;

✔️Clear or milky white

✔️ Mild-smelling or odourless

✔️ Not itchy or painful

✔️ Normal pH 3.8-4.5

🚨ABNORMAL IS🚨

❌ Strong or fishy smell

❌ Green, yellow, or grey discharge

❌ Itching, burning, or pain
