Episode 6- Discharge: The Dreaded Word

Dr. Emily Schwerdt and Dr. Lauren Puretz tackle the misunderstood world of vaginal discharge—with honesty, expertise, and plenty of laughs. Why does the word “discharge” make us cringe? Is it actually a sign something’s wrong? (Spoiler: usually not.) They break down what’s normal, what’s not, and why over-cleaning, shaving, and shame do more harm than good.

In this episode:

• What vaginal discharge actually is—and why it's a good thing

• How it changes with your cycle

• Common myths about cleanliness and odor

• Why we need to stop being weird about underwear stains

• A PSA on pubic hair and protective benefits

Bottom line: Your vagina is a self-cleaning oven. Discharge is normal. No shame.
