Sores from wearing pads?

Very much TMI but is anyone else getting sore spots on their vagina from wearing a pad 24/7? It’s making peeing way worse than it needs to be! Any tips if anyone has?

I wish I had an answer as I'm finding it the same x

I found I had to wear lil-lets maternity pads as they have a really soft cotton top layer rather than a plastic feeling top layer that many others have. I just went down to the thinner ones when I didn’t need the thick ones

Yep- I had my son in June and still bleeding heavily. I’m raw!

Period underwear ( 3 for £16 in M&S) only problem is can’t track blood the same way. I’m 4 weeks and not bleeding so much at night anymore so wear them to give me a break . I was getting heat rash from wearing a pad at the top of my thighs. I change the type of pad to one without wings and then liberally applied petroleum jelly as a barrier and it stopped being irritated with in 2 days. Sudocream might work as another barrier cream ???

Sudocream is amazing! Works wonders

I had the same and feel like I've got thrush now. It's the constant wet feeling. My bleeding has pretty much stopped now but still uncomfortable from this. X

I will give sudocrem a go!

Me too! Sudocrem deffo helps and airing out time!
