It is normal for a vagina to be moist but it is the color and consistency of the discharge that you should keep an eye on. Any sudden changes can be a sign of infection or something as little as hormone fluctuations. Either way, it is important to know what each color may mean and for your partner to know the same. Your partner can probably inspect you better than you can anyway.
Before you start to inspect make sure you’re aware of the menstrual cycle. If a woman is ovulating it’ll change the discharge. The same goes if she’s a few days away from her period or if she just got off of her period. During ovulation it’s completely normal to have a thin and filmy clear discharge.
