Is it normal to discharge a lot?

In a day I can discharge enough to soak my underwear, even if I have had no sexual stimulation. It's way more than a penny-sized amount and while it doesn't necessarily smell bad, it certainly has a smell. Sometimes I can feel it leaking out of me the way I can feel my period leak out of me. Is this normal? I am sexually active but all the guys I've been with were virgins.

Every girl is different, and it’s normal for some girls to have a lot of discharge. If yours is clear or whitish, doesn’t smell bad, and you don’t have any itching or irritation, chances are things are OK. To really know, however, your best bet is to visit your doctor or a health clinic – particularly if you are sexually active. Some changes in discharge can indicate a problem, and it’s always a good idea to get checked out.

Even if all the guys you were with said they were virgins, since you can't be absolutely certain about that, it’s always good to be cautious and use condoms.
