I'm 47, I had a partial hysterectomy 2012, I have 2 sons but never had a vaginal birth I had 2 C-sections & a couple weeks ago I started experiencing a super super wet vagina??? Like omg where did this come from it is very uncomfortable especially when having sex.  It has no odor, it was cloudy clear & my partner thought it was him & I was just super excited. NOT!! I hated it. It felt like he was in a washing machine, my vagina was the washing machine & he was one piece of clothing inside that machine, it was horrible. So I started doing research on this issue I came across this site & one of the commenters here mentioned similar symptoms she said that she had a bacterial infection & she used Betadine Vaginal Cream & or the Betadine Vaginal Douche which is now called in stores Medicated Disposable Douche with the ingredient povidone-iodine. Douche for 7 days straight using a new douche & douche tip for each day. I think I got this infection due to using Norforms they are vaginal deodorant suppositories ( I used this product over the the past year), it comes with 1 applicator for the suppositories. I would wash the applicator with warm soapy water after inserting then dry it & wrap it with a paper towel for the next use. I did know you needed to sterilize it before each use.  Be sure to remember that anything you use to insert things into the vagina has to be sterilized before each use or better yet have a new applicator for each vaginal use to be sure you will not give yourself a bacterial infection like I did. Hope this helps somebody else out there.

Interesting post. Looks like many of you here are expressing something I kind of wondered about myself, but felt too awkward to talk about.

It seems I have a couple phases that the wetness gets bothersome, the 2nd being the worst. If I am at home, I'd grab a tissue, or in the bathroom a small wad of toilet paper. It's not as good as pantyliners, but in a pinch it may work... It does seem to cause irritation, though and if not secured can kind of shift out of place, lol... I guess what has kept me from  bringing it up with my dr, other than just not wanting to talk about it, was remembering something I read as a 12 year old. My parents got a book called  "What's Happening to My Body?" (I hope I got the title right? Maybe it was What's Wrong With My Body?")

Either way it was a book written for preteens going through puberty and stated really detailed information written in a casual way (no medical jargan) about the process. One of the things brought up was about the wetness. They said there were a couple phases. One is during ovulation, as redheadaussie, mentioned, and the other actually kills sperm or makes it difficult for them to get through. I can't remember why the 2nd phase. Maybe it was after ovulation and it's the body's way of preventing fertilization after the ova dies and disintegrates.


(You may want to check google before taking what I said as "fact". I haven't read the book since I was probably 14, lol.

A lot of times extra wetness is attributed to emotions... no matter what emotions they are.  Also things like diet (PH balances and good bacterias like yogurt) make a difference...  Keep in mind that your body knows what it needs and will produce (or over produce) if something is not right.  
Also a thought to consider is if you are on any medications (although those usually produce the opposite effect)

I had a problem like that and thought I was wetting my pants. I went to quite a few drs and they never saw anything. My bladder was healthy. Turned out I had an infection. I used Betadine Vaginal Cream, which I have not been able to find in the past years. They do make the Betadine Duch (they blank it for some odd reason). My dr said to lay in the tub and hold it in as long as I could until I used up my dose. He said to do it for 7 straight days. I have found the Betadine Cream to be the best. Trichomonus  normally has an odor that will smell fishy. Mine was a bacterial infection, but it smelled like ammonia. I started using baby wipes when I had bowel movements to keep anything from getting on my underwear and the problem stopped. I mixed my own rather than the little bottles but the inserter has to be sterilized for each use, alcohol, warm soapy water, then hot water rinse. I put it in the bag and let it run all through it to prevent any germs on the inside.

I have had this problem, my doctor says it is due to fluctuating hormones. I am 52 however and probably in pre-menopause. She told me to do Constitutional Hydrotherapy. You put a very cold towel on the abdomen for 2 minutes, then, right away, switch to a very hot towel. Do this for about 20 minutes, this will help to open the blood vessels, etc in that area and it might also help to stop the discharge.

I miss those days.  I'm starting to dry up and would relish having this problem again.  Try and think of it as sexy.  You are hot and fertile!  Pantyliners are a good solution.  But DO NOT USE POWDER.  They have linked ovarian cancer to using powder in your vaginal area.

i have this problem too but the vagina is "self cleaning"  so some of us women are naturally more wet then others.... its drives me CRAZY some day too... and the week b4 my period its the worst!..... i always gotta use panty liners, everyday cause i hate it getting on my underware.....this might sound crazy but i used to use paper towels everyday, i hated sitting in my panty liner all day, so i would use paper towels and just throw away and replace if needed....lol...( i know im a weirdo).... so i dont think you have an infection, espically since you went to the doctor and they said all was ok... i wouldnt douch, it takes away the good bacteria that protects your va ja ja just like lucey said.....so just do what you can during the day, dont let it ruin your life, its not the end of the world.... and yes it makes for a GREAT sex life like msniki said!!....lol good luck!

My partner says I'm to wet sometimes so he doesn't get much friction and this is why he doesn't come inside me. So what can I do about that? X

Unfortunately some women are just more wet than others. It can also be during your cycle you are noticing more at ovulation time, which is when it will be more wet than usual. That's to help the little wrigglers get inside the big oven for baking a bun. (medhelp won't let me use real words as they block them!)
Best you can do is wear a pantyliner. I do. I noticed one day that the wetness was going through my jeans and onto the cloth seat at work! Embarrassing! So pantiliners are the go for me. Plus as the ad says, Keeps your knickers nice!
  Unless it has a really strong odour that OTHERS notice, then you ought to go to the doc for help..otherwise it really is just normal. Just think of this...how many teenage boys get a hard.....on......in front of girls and get a wet patch...bet you didn't know they did!

I have this problem too since going off the pill. I have no smell at all, just really moist down there. It's great for sex (natural lube) in my case. My BF thinks the wetness is from him....lol I haven't told him the truth on that one! I'll let him have his moment!!!

But honestly, I would go to the doctor to make sure you dont have an infection. Normal fluids generealy have no oder and should be clear/milky depending on that time of the month. I use to have this real bad in HS. It would smell like amonia. Little did I know I actually had a problem. It was PCOS and thts what I deal with now.

REmember that over washing and douching takes away the good bacteria that keeps infections away, so you could get a yeast infection. I have the same problem so I just go to the bathroom alot to dry off with toilet paper.

reminds me of the good old days, long past.......I used to wear a tampon when things got bad..!!......you have to realize also that there is also a faint smell to that wetness and you really don't want people to think you never bathed.....I had a serious problem with that and could never get the nerve up to tell my Doctor.
