Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The above comments have good advice, but also, do you use tampons or pads during your period? Because if it goes away with each period, and you use pads, you might be sensitive or mildly allergic to something in the underwear you use, which your vagina wouldn't be in contact with during your period if you use pads.

I actually wear panty-liners year round when not on my period. My vagina gives off a lot of discharge, and cleaning the ensuing stains are a pain in the ass. And I did consider that maybe the fact I wore them so often left me with some kind of irritation to the panty-liners themselves, but taking them away left me needing to change my underwear more often, and while the irritation went away for about a day it ultimately came back.

On my period, I use both pads and tampons - just pads during the day, pads and tampons during the night (I bleed a LOT - I usually go through around a dozen maxi pads and half a dozen regular tampons per period).

DA

The pantyliners might not be helping. I know it's a little granola, but you might try either making/buying some of those flannel menstrual pads on etsy or something. They don't sound like they'd hold up to heavy bleeding, but for day to day discharge it'll likely be easier on your genitals and allow more air circulation.

OP, I know this message is very late, and you probably won't see this - but you mentioned that you bleed a lot, and that makes me concerned.

I had a similar issue, and I thought it was totally normal that I'd bleed like a stuck pig, and it would go on for over a month without stopping.
I was constantly exhausted, and no matter how much I slept, it didn't go away.

It was only when I got some blood tests done that they found my iron levels were dangerously low, and it turned out I had anaemia, caused by a genetic blood disorder.

If you're bleeding a LOT, then please get it checked out. Seriously, it could save your life!

When I say I bleed a lot, I just mean that I lose a lot of blood during my periods. They do last a little long (my period average is about 5-8 days), and I go through more pads and tampons than most women apparently do. I did bring it up with a doctor in the past, and it isn't strictly normal but it's not exactly abnormal either, and while I do need to try to eat more iron-heavy foods, I'm otherwise fine.

That said, thank you for the suggestion. :)

I was going to make a separate comment about this but I wore pantyliners as a matter of course since I was twelve, for the same reasons as you.

In my early twenties out of literally nowhere my lady parts got so itchy and irritated that I had to have a coating of desitin on them all the time -- which was another reason to use pantiliners. In the end I desperately ditched the liners (and desitin) entirely and it cleared up within a week. I can still wear liners around my period, but I'm not risking longer that a few days at a time.

My assumption is I either spontaneously developed an allergy to something in the liners, or the manufacturer changed something in the liners. I was fine with them for ten years, and then it all went to hell.
(My liners are kotex longs, btw.)

Oh, I should add that it was always better around my period too.
