My vulva stung yesterday, it was weird but it went away

Soso answered

It's super common for your vulva to feel a little weird sometimes, and usually if it goes away quickly, it's just a normal thing. Your body is always changing, and sometimes little sensations like stinging can happen for a bunch of reasons.

What it could be

Little changes in moisture or how clean you are can make a difference. Sometimes even the soap you use in the shower or chemicals in things like laundry detergent can irritate that super sensitive skin down there. Also, like, if you wore tight pants or were really active, sometimes it can just get a little rubbed the wrong way.

When to tell a grown-up

If it keeps happening a lot, or if it starts to itch, burn when you pee, or if there's any weird smell or discharge, then it's a good idea to tell a grown-up just to be safe. They can help you figure out what's up.

do tampons hurt when you put them in?

Soso answered

Putting a tampon in shouldn't hurt, but it can feel a little weird or uncomfortable the first few times until you get the angle right. Pads are just as good, so you never have to use tampons if you don't want to. If you do try one, being…
