HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

Itchy down there after my period


 
I've just started my period and now, down there, has been constantly irritated! I don't want to itch but it gets so bad. Any solutions?

Resist the urge to itch! If you scratch yourself down there it could really hurt.

The number-one culprit behind itchiness during and right after your period is pads. Having a moist wad of papery fabric rubbing you the wrong way down there can cause major irritation. I know it sounds gross, but it’s sort of like diaper rash. Try switching to unscented and softer pad or a tampon.

Another possibility? Shaving. If you shave down there, the itchiness could be the result of the hair growing back in.

If neither one of these situations is the case, it is possible that you are at the beginning of a yeast infection or another type of irritation. If the pad ideas don't work or you are uncertain about anything, you should see a doc!

How do I know when I put a pad on properly? Because sometimes I leak because the pad wasn't covering the front part of my underwear or the back. Sorry it's kinda hard to explain. How can I avoid this?

Hey girl,

Try using a pad with wings and put the wing part in the center of your underwear. If you're still having leaks, try switching to a long or super long version. Smile

Hey babe! 

You might just have a heavier flow than you thought. Try putting in a tampon with a higher absorbency now! xoxox

Hey girl! 

The first few times you wear a tampon can feel kind of strange.  Here's an article about how to make the pain of a tampon go away: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/04/19/Tampon-trouble-It-still-hurts.aspx xoxox

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
