Question: Clear watery discharge?
So I'm about a week away from my period and these last few days I've had a lot of clear, watery discharge. It makes me so uncomfortable because it just feels like I"m leaking through my pants.. what I'm asking is what does this mean? and is it normal?

that happens to me and it is gross. its very normal and mostly every women gets that. its probably just from ovulating. hope i helped :)
*if you wear a panty liner, itll make it not leak through..thats what i do and its so much better.



Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is a lot of mucous produced, up to 30 times more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.

The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor.


?Different Types of Discharge

White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.

yes it's completely normal, the amount and type of discharge varies considerably throughout your cycle. The amount of discharge you are experiencing is because the body is getting ready for it's menstruating point.
So yes it is completely normal
and for the feeling uncomfortable thing, make sure in the morning you wash well, inside the labia to remove all discharge, throughout the day when you go to the toilet take some wipes with you and you can clean up or just use toilet paper well to clean up the discharge. When i have this problem i take spare pants, and just change them in the middle of the day, it makes me feel so much better and i just put them in a little toiletry bag in my handbag and i mean little. It doesn't take up any room and i use some wipes and i wear a pantyliner which really helps, just change it once or twice a day and this will stop it from leaking through your pants and keep you fresh .
Hope this helped and don't worry it's completely normal especially before your period! x x x
