Vaginal discharge is a mixture of liquid, cells, and bacteria that lubricate and protect the vagina. The composition, amount, and quality of discharge varies between individuals and can vary throughout the menstrual cycle and throughout the stages of sexual and reproductive development. Normal vaginal discharge is composed of cervical mucus, vaginal fluid, shedding vaginal and cervical cells, and bacteria. The majority of the liquid in vaginal discharge is mucus produced by glands of the cervix. In fact, they can protect the individual from other infectious and invasive bacteria by producing substances such as lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide that inhibit growth of other bacteria. Normal vaginal discharge is clear, white, or off-white.

Of course, we're sloooowly starting to get past some of the weird taboos about periods and pit hair , so who knows — maybe someday discharge won't be such a hush-hush topic either. After all, discharge is not only totally normal but it's actually crazy helpful too.
