Today, I found a diaper in the parking lot. It's been raining all morning. This was the wrong day to wear flip-flops. FML
It burns down there
Today, I used a new fragrance-free hypoallergenic laundry detergent for my underwear, as I have sensitive skin. I got a rash. FML

Pissed
Today, at work, I wet my pants. I had to throw my tighty-whities away. Since I didn't have underwear on, I chafed real bad and got a rash on my butthole and near my balls. I had to push my boyfriend off of me, all because it hurt too much to touch. FML

Splatter analysis
Today, after I wore a pad last night, I woke up this morning, took off my underwear to use the bathroom, and a huge period glob flew hit the rug and splattered everywhere. The globs got on every piece if clothing I wore. I then had to clean what looked like a crime scene. FML

Leaked
Today, at the ripe age of 29, I pooped my pants. It was a little diarrhea and I had expected it to be a fart, so I quickly had to grab my shorts, waddling to the bathroom, commando. FML

What even is that?
Today, I felt an itch on my butt so I went to the bathroom to scratch it. It was actually a dried layer of skin that broke from years of wear and tear, and now every time I shit I feel immense pain for the next hour. FML

Shitty situation
Today, I had explosive diarrhea. I got off the toilet to change my 3 year-old's poopy diaper. He was being stubborn, so I was going to go back to the toilet, which is when he laid down. I thought I could do it. I couldn't. He ran around diaperless as I ran back to the toilet with liquid shit running down my leg. FML

Today, my mom told my dad to get me extra absorbent pads, very loudly, in a crowded mall. FML

I feel your pain. Due to a medical issue I once had to wear one for 4 months and my job required me to walk 10 or so miles every day. The end result was painful af

I've had this happen. I've found it happens if I'm a bit lax on changing it. Some sudocream will sort it out quick smart. :)

I've had it happen to before OP. no worries. Although mine was because I was in another country with a medical team for relief work and worked all day. It wasn't that it was hot, but i sweat a lot anyway.

Get some cloth reusable ones, that will cure your ails, however you have to soak and wash them which could become your new ails. Tender skin person here who knows your pain. Best to change often to avoid skin issues.

Same as cloth diapers don't stop diaper rash on babies, a cloth pad won't stop a rash on a woman. Changing the situation is what would help. Change the bad often, use powder, try a thinned pad, use tampons, if possible, when exercising, that kind of thing.

Depends on what cause the rash. If it was an allergic reaction, cloth pads might help, especially if they don't like tampons.

That is why I switched to tampons. Or, if you're comfortable with it, Diva Cup.

Switch to a diva cup. 100% worth the investment. It saves time, money, and it's convenient af. As long as you have the patience to get used to it, that is.

Reason #30456 why being a uterus-having, period-experiencer sucks. I've had that before. Clean pad, forgot to change to a tampon before school mountain biking. Rash within half an hour =[

Considering the larger crotch to nose distance as compared to babies and standing/sitting posture during use, the talcum inhalation risk would mainly affect her boyfriend - or her pets. I wonder if diaper rash cream works for this too.

When I got this issue when I had my period I switched brands, made a difference

I switched to cloth for that exact reason. The cloth breathes better so you don't stay damp (dampness leads to the diaper rash). Also diaper rash cream may feel silly to buy but helps so much.

Switch to cloth! It is so much more comfortable and they don't smell the way disposables do. Plus the come in all kinds of shapes and cute patterns.
