Brief Answer:
Change the pads more often!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The interval between changing the pad is to blame. I will suggest that you try to change the pads at shorter interval even if you do not need to urinate. Urine would release ammonia which is very offensive. Also, cleanse the genital area as often as possible, at least after each stool/urination.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
