1 If a female friend experiences symptoms of vulvar itching during menstruation, but does not have itching symptoms at other times, this is likely related to the sanitary napkins used. It may be due to an allergic reaction to the sanitary napkin you are using.

2 If a female friend has an allergic reaction when using a sanitary napkin, she will experience itching, redness and swelling in the perineum, and the more she scratches, the more itchy it becomes. The more you scratch it, the more severe the redness and swelling will become. Therefore, it is recommended that if an allergic reaction occurs, you should immediately stop using the brand of sanitary napkins.
