As women, we often get big surprises from the queen—our vagina. And sometimes, when you don’t know what she’s trying to tell you, it can seem alarming when there’s really nothing wrong.
Here are 4 strange things you might find your vagina doing that are completely normal. Let’s get started!
#1. Bleaches Your Undies Over Time
You may have seen this all over TikTok, with girls sharing how their vaginas bleach their underwear. While this may seem strange or even scary, it’s completely normal.
Why Does the Vagina Bleach Undies?
Your vagina is naturally acidic. It produces its own acid, called lactic acid, which helps keep it clean. That acid makes your vaginal fluids, discharge, and even your period flow more acidic. Over time, these fluids can lighten the color of your underwear.
So if your vagina is bleaching your underwear, it’s a sign that her self-cleaning system is working perfectly. Even if this doesn’t happen to you, there’s no need to worry. Some vaginas are more acidic than others, and that’s completely normal too.
#2. Your Vagina Suddenly Releases Gas (Queefing)
This happens when air escapes from your vagina, often making an audible noise. It’s called queefing, and it’s totally normal.
How Does This Happen?
During activities like sex, air can enter the vagina, especially during penetration. Since the vagina is like a closed pouch with only one opening, the air can get trapped. When it’s released, it creates a sound. This is nothing to worry about; just laugh it off!
Note: If you experience frequent, abnormal vaginal noise, it could be a sign of pelvic floor dysfunction or a vaginal fistula. This Healthline article explains in detail.
#3. Releases Brown Period Blood
At the beginning or end of your period, you may notice brown blood. This happens because the blood sits in the vagina longer and is "digested" by the acidic environment.
If it comes out on its own, it may appear dark brown. If mixed with normal vaginal discharge, it will be lighter brown. Either way, this is a totally normal process.
#4. Creates Blood Clots During Your Period
Blood clots during your period may be due to the blood sitting in the vagina. When you lie down or sit for a while, the blood can get trapped and coagulate, forming clots. When you stand up, gravity helps the clots come out.
It’s normal to notice clots after periods of inactivity, like first thing in the morning or after sitting for a while. However, if you notice very large clots or frequent clotting outside your period, it’s best to consult a doctor.
