Is it normal to get vaginal discharge on your knickers?
Ok. 13/F. For the past year and a half, I've been getting heaps of discharge on my undies. Its really heavy and I have to put toilet paper in so it doesn't soak through or anything. I don't have my period, but this has been going on for a couple of years so I don't know if its a sign or not. I guess I'm asking, do all women get this, is it usually this heavy, and why is it everyday? All answers appreciated.

To add to what Dragonflymagic said: Douching can also cause an infection called PID:Pelvic Inflammatory Disease which attacks your reproductive organs and can cause you to not be able to have babies later in life. I developed it 2 times from using douche.

Yes, its a sign your body is normal and getting itself ready to start having a period. As to when it starts differs with everyone. This discharge is your body's way of doing a normal cleansing of the vaginal area every day. So my advice is to start wearing pantyliners. Toilet paper is too flimsy.
Panty liners are made for this purpose...for the days of discharge and the days of spotting on period. This will stay with you for life.
One more aside, never douche because it washes away all the good bacteria that is part of this cleansing system, allowing bad bacteria to grow which can result in getting infection called vaginosis. Just plain water is enough.
