Itchy after period

[Halfsack]

Does anyone else get itchy down below after a period? I don't use scented products but am considering using something else. I've used a cup before but I could never get it to work for me. Has anyone got any experience with sponges?

Me too. I had to stop using towels. I use a mooncup now.

Yes, I've found that too. I use pads, not scented. It happens after every period for a day or so. I've always thought it was due to a change in the pH balance of the vagina; think it can change around that time. Don't quote me on that!

Maybe chafing from pads? I used to be red raw from pads, but switched to tampons and no longer an issue as nothing to irritate my skin. Still get it occasionally with a panty liner though!

Yes I used to get this! Would get irritated and swollen with tampons and irritated and itchy with pads. Tried a moo cup but that gave me a similar reaction to tampons, although not as bad.

I now have a mirena and no periods!

I get it before but not after. It's a relatively new thing for me.
