C.M.
The heavy discharge is an indicator that periods aren't far away. I had the same problem when I was young. Only I didn't know that was a warning. I thought there was something wrong with me and didn't talk to my mother about it. I just worried all the time needlessly. Be thankful that she feels comfortable talking to you about it. If the discharge is worse sometimes than others, she may even be ovulating w/o having the periods yet. Here's a secret....Carefree has pantiliners that say "breathable." They really are better than the others. Because they do get the air (somehow) you feel much cleaner and won't have the odor problems. I can't say enough about them. They are harder to find. They must say "breathable." The only place I find them all the time is CVS Drug Store. NOT Meijer or Target.
