Does Sanitary Pads Cause Allergic Reactions Inside Vagina And Wall Of Womb?

If I am allergic to certain sanitary pads (itchy, swollen, soreness around my thigh and pubic area), is it possible that the sanitary pads also cause certain allergic reactions inside the vagina and or even the wall of my womb? I am asking this question because I notice that when I switch between brands (on the very same day), the level of cramps and menstrual flow varies. I have experimented it deliberately and the results have been consistent. Could skin allergy to sanitary pads also caused allergy inside?

Hello,

Best quality sanitary napkin DOESN'T cause allergic reaction inside vagina or womb. It may cause itching or rash due to wetness if you use low quality napkin with less absorbent power. I suggest to use top branded sanitary napkin and chose one which makes you comfortable.

Good luck.
