Period allergy???

Question

So I came on here to see if there are any other girls on here that have something I’m going through. Every time I get my period my vagina has an allergic reaction to the pads I use. I use kotex U regular pads. But my vagina ends up getting this irritation and itchy burning after the first day of using them. It later turns into a rash-like situation, super dry, super uncomfortable AND!!! It starts to smell really really bad! If anyone can help me out with this situation it’s greatly appreciated 😩🙏🏼

Answer

I get really horrible rashes when I use pads. I break out in horrible red, itchy and painful bumps which hurt for weeks. I've tried multiple brands of pads (always, kotex, organic brands, etc) and none of them have worked and for me the organic ones were the worst. I always break out. According to my mum it was the same way with diapers when I was a baby. If my diaper was wet I had to be changed immediately- like you couldn't even wait 5 minutes otherwise I got a really terrible rash. 
Its the moisture that does it for me. And you can't escape the moisture with pads so I break out in a rash. The fix was switching to tampons and I now use a Diva cup. I haven't had any rashes since.

Answer

Could be you’re allergic to the scent/fragrance in the pads. Try unscented ones.

Sounds like yeast infection
