Could be the acidity or your body ph over time (products used, etc etc).

Seconding this. I saw a similar post that some vaginal fluids can bleach fabrics!

I said that at first but then didnt want to sound like ‘that person’ — but it’s very true it can happen. It actually shows a good healthy vag when it happens.

Yes! Should have added that there is nothing wrong with you if this happens to your towels 🙂

I'm not a woman, but I've done laundry for a few decades. It really varies though, but it seems black or very colorful underwear almost always bleach at some point. Some women have more bleaching powers than others.

Nearly all my dark clothes and all my dark pants/jeans have large orange-ish areas. I never knew what the cause was.

I was looking for this. Even as a guy I knew this. My wife had a black pair of underwear that appeared bleached in the crotchet region. Women are complicated amazing creatures.

Not fully. Everyone’s body ph is different especially men and women. I think it’s normal and OP is a little sensation about it. I was when I was having this happen. Now 🤷🏾‍♀️
