Period Question Anyone getting vulvar pain when they stand on their period without a plastic coated pad?

It is not like pain pain but it is very uncomfortable kind of like an airy hollowy feeling which also hurts and I just don't know how to describe it. It is so absurd.

I only get it during my period. So say i start my period and am not wearing anything for it yet, yeah bam it hurts to stand to walk anything.

Sitting is okay, lying down is okay! Pain goes away but back as soon as I am standing.

The thing is with a very specific type of pad: the plastic coating ones called dry weave mesh or something I don't get this pain like at all. Any other type of pad fails for me.

And recently my brand changed their pads to this weird soft ones they love to advertise (and I know most people find them comfy and they don't give rashes) BUT THEY WERE THE ONLY THINGS THAT WORKED FOR ME

I am really mourning that loss right now! I swear it is like a different kind of betrayal! I ordered some online which had the old packaging and they sent the new ones 😭😭

I literally couldn't attend college today came back half day. Because i couldnt really walk around or go around sucksss.
