I kept reading and hearing this and since it doesn’t happen to me I thought something was wrong with me. So I’d like to add that according to my gyn it’s also perfectly normal to not have this happen!
I keep hearing this but what is it? Is it a way the body regulates ph? Is it some sorta chemical reaction that happens internally that gets rejected by the body? Is it just mucus wherein the body just makes too much?
No they mean the pH of the actual secretions. Some vaginal secretions are more acidic than others and the pH of those secretions changes throughout the month and can be changed by the microbiome of the vagina.
Im not a vagina haver, and I hear that the PH levels can also slowly cause holes in a lot of fabrics. That sounds rough, my washing machine slowly ruins enough of my clothes on it own.
Id imagine friction between sock and shoe plays a bigger part there than friction can play with genitals and underwear. At least I hope so, I pity the poor bastards who got just as much friction there on a dialy basis lol.
So when you say “after I became one” are you saying you’re trans and have begun to experience this after bottom surgery? If so, I’m wondering if there are the same kind of secretions from the penis that I’m just not noticing. I mean there are times when I drift off in thoughts of sexual fantasies and end up with “pre-cum” in my underwear. I wonder if it’s the same process.
As a trans woman, we definitely can get a similar phenomenon, but I can’t vouch for how common it is or if it’s the same thing.
If it does happen, it generally starts a while after your hormone levels get consistently in the right place. Don’t need surgery. For me, it’s even straight up dependant on what brand of estrogen I’m taking. I take injections, and if I’m on 10mg/ml, it happens, but any time I have to take 20mg/ml, it stops. Doesn’t matter that my hormone levels haven’t shifted even slightly.
It is known that it’s the same organs producing it as males have, but why it begins to behave like that and why it doesn’t happen to everyone is, as far as I know, completely unknown.
Ugh so gross. So there’s only 1 possible solution, and they have to sell it to you. More options pleas3, not made of clunky, awkward pads which force me to wear Granny panties.
You know what’s extra fun about this?
Those secretions bleach underwear. That’s right, my cute black panties are all inevitably doomed to have a white spot in the crotch over time!

Depends on your Ph level. Everyone’s is different.
I have a phd.
I just have a d

And this is how I found out lol

My feet must sweat sulphuric acid then. :(

Yeah I didn’t learn that until after I became one. That was a fun thing to be informed is normal after thinking something is wrong

Thank you for sharing
Yep, that’s why these things are sold

I got a free solution, go commando.
I didn’t say it was a good solution, just free.
