I've been thinking about this alot.I use disposable pads.About the 3 day in my menstration I get a rash on the outside of my private.It hurts to sit move or walk.It doesn't matter if I have hair down there or not( I shave but I stop when I'm on my cycle because it hurts worse).I still get this rash.It could be the cemicals in the pads or it could be lack of air cirulation while wearing disposable pads that causes it.I change my pad more often now then I ever have and I still get the rash.
I have very sensitive skin as it is.I'm thinking I might be allergic to the pads themselves.But I've never known what else I could use.So I keep using these pads and keep getting this rash every month.I've tried all kinds of brands and after a few cycles of using the same brand I get the rash again.
I talked to my Mom about this today and she told me that when she was younger she used cloth pads.She agreed with me that it's heathier for me to use cloth pads because of this rash that I get.She said I used to get diaper rash from disposable diapers when I was a baby and she had to use cloth diapers on me.
Thank you Mrs.Jones I never would have thought to use cloth pads without this thread.I'm going to try them.I can't sew so I've been looking to buy them online and I've found many great sources to get them.I think I'm going to get the organic cotten ones with a nylon lining to preven leaks.I was wondering what I should use to wash them??I was thinking of getting baby laundry soap because it has less harsh cemicals in it right??Also I read if you soak them in cold water and borax with a little soap they shouldn't stain.
