Sensation of wetness

March 1, 2016

Question

I had a mirena iud put in about 2 months ago. I bled for a while afterwards and recently was able to go to the mikvah. This week I have had some sporadic mild staining on dark colored underwear but one day I did actually feel wet before I noticed the staining. Does that render me niddah?

Answer

A feeling of external wetness is not considered a hargashah and does not change the halachic status of a stain. Your stains may be disregarded because they were found on colored underwear.
