It's because of your vagina!
The cause of discoloration in underwear is the vagina, it is something completely normal due to the vaginal pH, that is, the level of acidity in your vaginal discharge.
The pH is the scale used to measure the level of acidity or alkalinity of a substance and its numerical values go from 0 to 14. Those substances that are in position 7 are considered neutral, such as blood and pure water .

The vagina has a pH between 3.8 and 4.5, which makes it slightly acidic. This vaginal acidity has the objective of generating a protective barrier to avoid infections, so in reality, it is something positive. However, vaginal discharge can have a discoloring effect on underwear, which is why your black panties fade.
Stop prejudice!
The patriarchal system has made us believe that female sexuality and the intimate area is "dirty", thanks to that belief, marketing manages to sell many personal hygiene products, such as the famous intimate soaps. Fortunately, more and more female voices are raising their voices against the prejudices of the female body and pointing out that the vagina is not dirty.
