Can you get a yeast infection wearing a pad in humid weather?

Question

I’m from the west coast, there’s no humidity it’s all dry heat. But currently I’m in Ohio on vacation (this is my second coming to the east side; first time on my period here), and my period started. But I think I have a yeast infection now from wearing the pad and being out and about.

Answer

Yes it can. Yeast grows in damp hot environments. Therefore if you’re always sweaty and warm (which commonly happens with pads) it can cause a yeast infection.

Answer

I used to live in Ohio. I just moved away last month. I never got a yeast infection from a pad. I change them every time I go to the bathroom which is often on my period.

Answer

The short answer is no. But you can carry a small pack of baby wipes or vajajay wipes to keep you fresh and less irritated.

Answer

I don't think so, I use to wear pads all the time and I've never had one. I've lived in NY and NC, both get very humid
