Is a lot of wetness normal?

Unread post by maisychain2 »

With puberty do girls get wet a lot and often as their thing?

And how wet? I feel like it is a lot with what I'm dealing with...
It is sort of annoying

Ive looked online and it doesn't seem to be a medical problem with the colour or whatever.

I guess i wasn't prepared really for how much everyday, tho.

Like sure I've had those feelings of being horny but it isnt something anyone told me about and I feel kind of unprepared. Its a weird feeling to have physically with my body and also with my panties too

Hi there, Maisychain, and welcome to the boards!

By all means, particularly once menstruation starts, it's very normal to see an increase in vaginal discharge, especially during and around the time you ovulate, something else that started when menstruation started, all due to big increases in thwe amount of estrogen in your body. Additionally, discharges are part of how the vagina keeps itself clean and in a good bacterial balance, so you'll also see increases because of that, as well.

It's hard to really say "how much" because this isn't something we can really measure, but on the whole, if everything smells okay, and the discharge you're seeing isn't greenish or grayish, it's probably just your body working as it does now that you're at this stage of life. Know that it both will regulate itself some more as you get older and you'll also just get used to it.

Some people use liners in their undergarments or undergarments with built-in liners who feel like there are times or days when it's too much, so those things are always options if you want them!

If you want to find out more about puberty so you feel more prepared, especially since it's something you'll be in for at least another 5 years or so, you might find this piece helpful: https://www.scarleteen.com/read/bodies/ ... darn-close
