Question
Why is there a brown coloring on my underpants? I have not gotten my period yet and I don't know why it's there. And it's toward the front of my underpants. Why?
Answer
Please mark the calendar and see if something like this happens again next month. Chances are good that this was your first period -- or your body's way of "practicing." Good luck!
