I’m 3w pp today. For the last week my pum pum been really itchy. I’ve been keeping it as clean as I can and it’s not the actual vagina part that’s itchy. It’s like my lips around the clit. I have pp spray but tbh I think that’s making it itch even more. At first it was working but now I noticed earlier that right when I sprayed it on I instantly started itching. But even without using it I itch but definitely not as bad.

My OB said put some aquaphor baby ointment on it. It helps the itching and chafing. You have probably been wearing a pad consistently for the bleeding and it irritates the labia and Vulva. Eventually you might get dry vulva … just aquaphor.
Aquaphor helped more than anything else for me… I was doing the penguin squat waddle postpartum.

Are you still bleeding? Switch to some period pants. The pads are not breathable and wearing them 24/7 for weeks will cause itchiness and other issues. Try not to wear tight pants either. Loose pj pants, cotton or bamboo period undies. Having the period undies on hand means you won’t need to buy pads for future periods when you do get them. Cloth pads work great as well

Look up Dermoplast, this helped instantly with all that postpartum! Was a life savor lol

What do you mean diaper? Is there one for periods ?

So pum pum is a vagina?
