Thread: why do I get a rash in my menstrual period?

When I wax my bikini area,and when my menstrual period comes,I wear menstrual pads,and it really hurt but when my private areas like bikini area is hairy,I don't get a rash?why is it like that?

What you're getting is probably a similar sensation to diaper rash (no, really. It happened to me.) Pubic skin is sensitive, and shaving makes it moreso. Essentially your skin is getting irritated because of the moisture being held close to it for an extended period of time and possibly also because of any chemicals in the pads.

You can reduce the rash by changing your pad more often, trying different brands of pads OR using cloth pads, or using tampons. Hope it works out for you!
