Depends: You don't say how long you've had it. My first thought is that you may be having a reaction to some new soap, cream, fabric softeners, or detergent. Use fragrance free products. Also, generic pads and panty liners could be causing this. If changing those things doesn't work, get checked for other possible causes.
