Period/ Sweaty Vagina ( sorry if wrong group! I will remove)

Hey ladies! So everytime i have a period i wear pads because tampons hurt but pads make me very sweaty down below and sore? I also get smelly like a sweaty smell and i shower everyday and change my pad often but it still smells.

It isnt a bad smell and its not bloody or fishy it just smells a bit stronger but i wanted to know if theres a way to reduce the smell and soreness from wearing pads? I dont want to try tampons again because they make the inside of my sore?

Please help! Im not that concerned but its not nice!

Thanks girlies💜
