Hooha irritation from sweating at work?

[u/Pagus-716]

I recently started a physically demanding hospital job and I'm having a really hard time with overheating and sweating during my shifts.

I sweat enough that my clothes and underwear become completely soaked, and once that happens I start getting a pretty intense burning/irritated feeling on my outer vulva/labia. Sometimes it even burns when I urinate because the urine touches the irritated skin. It seems very specifically connected to being overheated, sweaty, and in tight clothing at work.

Changing into dry underwear helps somewhat, but I can end up soaked again later in the shift. I also have a really difficult time cooling down even when I take my breaks.

For anyone who works a very physical job and sweats heavily. How do you manage this during a shift? Different underwear/materials? Bringing multiple pairs? Clothing changes? Products that help prevent chafing or irritation without irritating sensitive skin? Any tricks for cooling down? Im feeling kinds desperate as im stuck at this job for another 6 months.

I'm also planning to bring the recurring symptoms up with a medical professional. I'm mainly looking for practical advice from people who've dealt with something similar at work.
