I am apologizing in advance for the TMI in this post. I have been wearing panty liners nearly every day for quite some time now. They have completely rubbed me raw down there. I made the mistake of viewing it through a hand mirror and cringed in horror. I am going to Target today, and I was wondering what I should get to help with the discomfort and healing? It pains me to even walk, and I've kept the panty liners off today but I am going to need to put them back on again at some point. TIA for any and all suggestions.

Re: Raw and sore (TMI, but I need your help!)
While I hate to hear that you are experiencing the same discomfort, it is comforting for me to read that I am not the only one with a sore and ugly vagina right now.

Oh no! My doctor suggested just changing underwear a few times a day vs panty liners. Wear cotton underwear - nothing synthetic - because it does the best to keep moisture away.
I don't see why the Tucks spray wouldn't work right now though - I know after birth I want it in an industrial size! haha.
Have you thought about getting Poise pads instead? I know those are built more like traditional pads with wings, so they lay a little flatter.
Also, to sooth the ouch factor, can you use some triple antibiotic?
Good luck!!

Oh wow. Well, I've been meaning to buy new underwear since the ones I have are either too tight or just uncomfortable these days. So, I will definitely buy some new underwear today. Now I need to know if there is a cream or powder I can put on to help in healing!

I haven't, but I am not opposed to giving it a try. Will add it to my shopping list now!

have you tried different brands? some pads do this to me as well, but not all of them.
I agree, "free ball" as much as possible when home. cotton undies are best, not too tight to restrict the area.
be careful of a yeast infection with all that moisture though!
This! I don't wear them
I had this issue when the temperature was really high and the doctor gave me samples of Alcortin A Gel. It did wonders and I felt better even after the first application.
