The vagina has a natural discharge, that is how it keeps itself clean. The discharge should be clear or white, and not have an offensive odor. Some women have more discharge than others, and find it helpful to wear a pantyliner.

It's called discharge, and most women do discharge. It's normal. Glands inside your vagina and cervix make small amounts of fluid. This fluid flows out of the vagina each day, carrying out old cells that have lined the vagina. This is your body's way of keeping your vagina healthy and clean. The discharge is usually clear or milky and doesn't smell bad.

The color and thickness of the discharge change with your monthly cycle. The discharge is thicker when you ovulate (when one of your ovaries releases an egg), when you breastfeed or when you're sexually excited.

Changes that may signal a problem include an increase in the amount of discharge, a change in the color or smell of the discharge, and irritation, itchiness or burning in or around your vagina. This is called vaginitis. A discharge that's stained with blood when you're not having your period could also be a sign of a problem. If you have any of these signs, you should talk to your doctor.

Tips on preventing vaginitis:
After using the toilet, always wipe from front to back. This may help prevent getting bacteria from your rectal area into your vagina.
Wear cotton underpants during the day. Cotton allows your genital area to "breathe." Don't wear underpants at night.
Avoid wearing tight pants, pantyhose, swimming suits, biking shorts or leotards for long periods.
Change your laundry detergent or fabric softener if you think it may be irritating your genital area.
The latex in condoms and diaphragms and the sperm-killing gels that are used for birth control can be irritating for some women. If you think one of these things is a problem for you, talk to your doctor about other types of birth control.
Avoid hot tubs.
Bathe or shower daily and pat your genital area dry.
Don't douche.
Avoid feminine hygiene sprays, colored or perfumed toilet paper, deodorant pads or tampons, and bubble bath.

HOPE THAT HELPS!

Well one thing that you might do is wear a pantie liner. It is not thick like a pad so will not be so noticeable and will help keep your underwear less messy. I have the same problem I know exactly what you are talking about and yes it is ovulation.

you dont smell bread or beer do you if so the white stuff is an infection called yeast if its not smelly and giving you itches in the vagina then it could just be that you secrete a lot of vaginal lubrication more than some folkes less than some wear a light days pad use only panties that breath like cottons and enjoy being a girl

ur fine its not ovulation that happens inside ur body, its discharge and unless its green or another weird color its normal , u could be getting it cause its near ur period or u could just get it, i know it makes u feel dirty and its gross but it is normal, i wouldn't wear pantie liners all the time , maybe u could try using vaginal wipes to help u feel more clean
