This is something totally new, so I wanna be sure everything is ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slight-bleachy-smell#post-406513 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:54:25 +0000 MsMini 406513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh so TMI - but naturally my discharge has a bleachy smell, and it actually bleaches out spots on the cotton lining of my underwear. It sucks, but my gyn told me that is normal for some people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slight-bleachy-smell#post-406453 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:30:51 +0000 blackbird 406453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wearing pantyliners could also be causing the problem. They really advise not wearing them every day; they can actually cause you to make MORE vaginal discharge to compensate. Because they aren't as breathable as cotton undies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slight-bleachy-smell#post-406445 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:26:37 +0000 Minnie_Girl 406445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of feminine products have chlorine bleach in them. :( Seventh Generation makes theirs chlorine-free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slight-bleachy-smell#post-406368 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:02:09 +0000 tororojo 406368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's the chemicals in the liners? You could try another brand and see if you have the same problem...I don't know. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slight-bleachy-smell#post-406353 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:54:09 +0000 boiledpnut 406353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I change them quite a bit. If I didn't use them, I'd have to change my undies multiple times a day! It's definitely not a vinegar smell though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slight-bleachy-smell#post-406339 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:48:49 +0000 tororojo 406339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use pantiliners normally because they always end up smelling...vinegar-ey? You may need to change more often, or quit using them so your crotch can breathe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slight-bleachy-smell#post-406329 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:43:21 +0000 boiledpnut 406329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wearing panty liners for several weeks now because of the lovely increase in discharge. Yesterday when I was changing it, I noticed there was a slight bleachy smell. Is that normal? I haven't noticed it before. </p>
