Menstrual blood sitting on a pad can provide a warm moist area for bacteria and yeast to grow. You may also want to avoid potential irritants such as scented cleansing wipes or scented pads/tampons. There are other causes of vaginal itching such as bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. Avoid scented pads or toilet paper, creams, bubble bath, feminine sprays, and douches. Use water and a plain, unscented soap to regularly clean your external genital area. Always wipe from front to back after having a bowel movement.
