Madhi is a thin, white, sticky fluid that flows, without lust and ejaculation, from the male and female private parts, owing to foreplay and making love between wife and husband; and a person even does not realise its flow. Manī is a white and thick fluid, which ejaculates with lust and pleasure; and a person feel its pleasure and is then relaxed. Wadī is muddy, white and thick fluid which flows, from people, after urinating or normally before.
