A member asked:

I always have itching at my vaginal opening after a few days of using super absorbent tampons. itching lasts until my period is over. what's the issue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reaction: Sounds like you are having a reaction to the tampon. If the itching goes away as soon as your period is over, likely not a yeast infection (which is what typically is associated with itching). It could be that your skin is somewhat allergic to the tampon. You might try another brand, maybe a more 'natural' tampon? Since you're using super's, a pad might not work, but that's another suggestion.
