The Mom’s Guide to Talking About Discharge
Talking about vaginal health with your daughter can feel a little intimidating; even for the most open and confident moms. But the truth is, your voice is one of the most powerful tools she has when it comes to understanding her body and feeling comfortable in her own skin.
And one of the first topics many moms navigate? Vaginal discharge.
Why This Conversation Matters
Discharge is a normal, healthy function of the vagina, but without guidance, your daughter might interpret it as something “wrong” or “embarrassing.” This can lead to unnecessary shame or secrecy.
By starting the conversation early, you help her:
- Recognize what’s normal vs. what’s not
- Understand that her body is capable, self-cleaning, and nothing to be ashamed of
- Build confidence in speaking up about health changes
Tips for you Momma
Start Simple & Stay Age-Appropriate
You don’t need to deliver a full anatomy lecture on day one. Instead, start with simple, clear language she can easily understand:
“Your body is cleaning itself. This is something every girl and woman has, and it’s completely normal.”
As she gets older, you can add in more details about periods, hormonal changes, and how discharge plays a role in vaginal health.
Be Honest (and Human)
Sharing your own experiences and crazy stories can help normalize and what she’s going through:
“When I was your age, I remember wondering if I was the only one. But every girl goes through it — it’s just not something people talk about a lot.”
Remember when you were her age? You probably felt like all adults had NO clue! Share your horrific experiences that happened in school, at home, or even when your siblings embarrassed you. We know brothers, older or younger, can be the worst.
Cover What’s Normal… and What’s Not
Explain that normal discharge is usually clear or whitish, changes texture during her cycle, and has only a mild scent.
Let her know to pay attention to:
- Strong, foul, or fishy odors
- Green, gray, or chunky textures\
- Discharge paired with itching or irritation
If she notices any of these, tell her it’s always okay (and encouraged!) to tell you so you can help her get checked out.
Normalize the Conversation
The more matter-of-fact you are, the more comfortable she’ll be. You can:
- Keep pads or panty liners in the bathroom as a subtle visual cue
- Talk casually about fresh underwear, breathable fabrics, and hygiene habits
- Reassure her that discharge is just a sign her body is working the way it should
For Moms: What You Need to Know About Discharge for Yourself
As much as this conversation is about guiding your daughter, it’s also an important reminder to stay in tune with your own body.
1. Discharge Changes with Hormones
Your discharge isn’t the same at 40 as it was at 20. Hormonal changes from birth control, pregnancy, perimenopause, or menopause can alter color, texture, and amount.
2. Your Cycle Tells a Story
Pay attention to patterns throughout your cycle:
- Clear/stretchy: Around ovulation (fertile window)
- Creamy: After ovulation
- Minimal or dry: Before/After menstruation
Noticing sudden, unexplained changes outside your norm? That’s your cue to check in with a healthcare provider.
3. Odor, Color, and Texture Are Key Indicators
Just like your daughter, any unusual odor, green/gray color, or chunky texture in your discharge can be a sign of infection or imbalance.
4. Discharge Can Flag Bigger Health Issues
Chronic changes may signal underlying hormonal or reproductive health concerns — sometimes before other symptoms appear. That’s why regular check-ins with your OB-GYN are essential.
To really protect yourself, keep a regimen that keeps you on track daily.

The OG glaze is something special!
The OG glaze is something special! It feels intensified as I use it right out of the refrigerator. The instructions on the different ways to use it was helpful as you can do a firm type or more of a creamy.....both are amazing🙌🏽 the moisture locks in and you feel and look healthy and vibrant! All I can say is, I see what the hype was about, this exceeded what I imagine and gives you a newer definition of peppermint patty! 🌸
