Are cloth pads good for women with vulvodynia, vaginitis or allergies?
A. I’ve sold pads to women dealing with these conditions who find the pads helpful during their cycles. While many women have noticed that tampons and disposable pads can be a source of vaginal irritation, most are unaware that disposable products are highly processed and may contain chemicals to keep you dry . Vaginal irritation, allergies, burning, itching, frequent yeast infections, can all be the result of, or exacerbated by, highly processed disposables. Several women (having suffered long enough) have started using cloth as a last resort , and found them to be a lifesaver. My customers are my main source of information. Please check with your Health Care Practitioner/OBGYN or tell her or him about cloth pads. Many doctors are happy to find out these exist so they can recommend them to their patients.
