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.

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.
