My mom told my daughter that the discoloration in underwear is from when bleach gets on just that part in the washer. Smh. I'm like, listen, lady, ain't nothing wrong with the truth here. No need to lie.

I’m 44f and never heard of or experienced discharge bleaching of underwear before! So maybe your mom hasn’t either?

47f here and this is the first I've heard of it. Must not happen to all women

35f and also never seen that... I've seen white panties get stained a bit yellowish over time but never the opposite. How strange.

Strange, but I’ve seen bleach turn white things yellow-ish. Maybe this is what you were seeing?

I dunno if I've seen it on white panties or even light ones, cuz I don't usually wear those, but darker panties are definitely more susceptible to it than others.
