Itchy down there after my period


 

Check these out, too...

  • Turning 16--but I don't want to grow up
  • I'm only 13--why did my breasts stop growing?
  • Why do my fingers turn red when I'm cold?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Why is my tummy so rumbly?
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!

okay so i want kind of a new wordrobe for school, the problem is i can fit into ANYWHERE! not wet seal, not forever21, none of those kind of places and those are the kind of places that hav my style of clothes...i can fit into places like hollister and stuff but their stuff is SOOOO expensive, and i hav to pay for my clothes....my mom has tried convincing me to keep going to justice :/ ..i just rlly dnt like those stores, i like vintage looking clothes with lots of detail, what are some places that would fit petiet ppl and hav cute clothes...srry this was so long




Hey girlie,

I know it's hard to remember this, but it doesn't matter where you get your clothes or what size you are in them - it's how you wear them, combine them, and use them to express yourself! Try going to Justice and trying on pieces, even if you wouldn't normally think they're your "style." They look a lot different on your body! Keep an open mind and plan what you can mix them with. Jeans from Justice paired with a size-small crop top from Forever 21 (designed to fit shorter on larger sizes but, on you, will be the perfect length!) will look super cute. You can also try department stores like Macys or JCPenney, which have XS sizes and juniors departments with a wide range of cuts. Try to be creative and don't underestimate the value in actually going to the store and trying stuff on. Online shopping can be daunting, but going in person makes it so much easier to imagine outfits together!

MOD MOD MOD MOD? I have a huge problem - I'm bi. I know that doesn't sound that bad or anything, but I really, really don't want to be! I have a girlfriend, we've kissed and I loved it, but I just feel terrible because I am in a relationship with another girl. I don't want to tell anyone else. Only 2 of my best friends (who are fine with it) and my girlfriend. But I DON'T want to be bi!! Help D: -Confused..

 

 

Hey chica! There's absolutely nothing wrong with being bi. Or, experimenting with your sexuality when you're young. It's possible that you may grow out of this stage, or you  may truly be bi-sexual. And either one is OK. If you don't feel comfortable telling certain people, then you don't have to. It's your decision, and your life. And, you should what makes you happy with people who make you happy.
