Vaginal discharge is normal and healthy. Not having discharge, on the other hand, can cause some problems. The only time to worry about discharge is if it is unusually smelly or green or cottage cheese-like, as those can be symptoms of infections.

I have that too and im so glad to hear im not the only one! I actually have to wear a very light pad every day, it feels like my period is starting when I get it. Ive been to my doctor and she is going to test me for chlymidia just to be on the safe side.

Yeah I was having alot of discharge too, so I went to a doctor to get it checked out. She said its because I have too much of the good bacteria down there. She said if you want to get rid of it, take a sitz bath with just warm water and two table spoons of baking soda. It works! But dont do it too often or you will lose too much good bacteria.

i have to wear a pantyliner every day, too. i thought that was really weird. its not? ive always been a little concerned about the whole situation.
but i know its not an STD, because im not sexually active, so i havent been too too worried.

There are infections women can get that are not sexually related. Yeast infections and bacterial infections are not necessarily caused by sex.
If you are having anything abnormal going on in your *ahem* 'area', it is always a good idea to be seen by your gyno.
