Let’s talk about something most of us ladies have noticed but don’t always talk about - discharge before your period. If you’ve ever wondered why it happens or if what you’re experiencing is normal, you’re not alone. The good news? Most of the time, it’s your body working perfectly! So let’s take a closer look at what it means, when to keep an eye on it, and how Conni can help you stay fresh and comfy every step of the way.

Why Do We Get Discharge in the First Place?
It might not get a lot of airtime, but discharge plays a really important role in keeping things clean and healthy down there. Health Direct explains that it helps protect your vulva and vagina by keeping things moist and flushing out bacteria.
Vaginal discharge is slightly acidic which helps prevent infections. It’s usually made up of natural stuff like sweat, oils, cells, a little mucus and good bacteria. If you’ve noticed it being clear, white, or even a little creamy with a slight yellow tint, especially before your period, that’s all within the range of normal.
So, What’s Going On Before Your Period?
Right before your period, your hormones (hi there, estrogen) kick into gear, and that can lead to a bit more discharge than usual. It might be:
- Clear or white
- Mild in smell (or even odourless)
- A bit sticky or stretchy
Basically, your body is getting ready for your period. Totally normal.
But if you’re noticing anything unusual - like a green, grey or yellow colour with a strong smell, itchiness or irritation, it is time to check in with your doctor. Better to get it looked at and have peace of mind.
How Can Conni Help You Feel Fresh and Confident?
Dealing with extra discharge before your period doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or inconvenient. That’s where Conni steps in, with practical products designed to keep you feeling your best.
Our Ladies' Reusable Underwear range offers a range of styles to suit different needs, but two standouts are the Actives and Classic underwear. With both styles, you can stay confident and comfortable whether you’re tackling a busy day or winding down for a restful night:
- Conni Active Underwear: Featuring gusset-only protection, our Ladies Actives are lightweight and breathable, perfect for managing light discharge while you’re on the go. Whether you’re running errands, at work or hitting the gym, these are your everyday go-to for comfort and reliability.

- Conni Classic Underwear: Offering more coverage, with protection extending to the front and back waistband, the Classic style is ideal for light spotting, particularly overnight or as you prepare for your period to begin. Soft, comfortable and absorbent, our Ladies' Classics are designed to keep you worry-free during those “just-in-case” moments.

- Conni Ladies Reusable Liners: Conni’s reusable liners are the perfect everyday option. They can be used on their own with regular panties or paired with our Reusable Underwear for added peace of mind. Each pack comes with two liners and a convenient waterproof bag - ideal for quick changes when you’re out and about. Slim, lightweight and secure, they’re a reusable, eco-friendly solution that keeps you fresh and confident while also being kind to the planet and your wallet.
