A yeast infection happens when Candida, a fungus, commonly found in the vagina overgrows. If you have weak immunity or diabetes, are on antibiotics, or have a hormonal imbalance, you are more prone to getting a yeast infection. Also, during menstruation the fluctuating hormones can disturb the pH balance in the vagina, which makes you vulnerable and can trigger a yeast infection.
If you have ever had a yeast infection, you would know how uncomfortable and disturbing it can get. The common symptoms of yeast infection are itching, thick discharge, swelling or redness in the vulva (skin around the vagina) and pain during urination and intercourse.
A warm moist environment creates the breeding ground for the fungus Candida leading to Candidiasis or Yeast infection. In summers during your period days the long sitting work or study hours, traveling in crowded buses or metros, or simply being out in the Sun, all these things make you hot and increase the body heat and sweating especially in the vaginal area.

FAQ’s
2. How can menstrual hygiene affect yeast infections?
Proper menstrual hygiene helps reduce the risk of yeast infections. Wearing clean, dry menstrual products and changing them regularly prevents moisture buildup. Poor hygiene allows heat and wetness, encouraging fungal growth. Using breathable, absorbent products like Sofy Cool pads helps maintain a dry environment, reducing the likelihood of yeast buildup.
3. Why should I change pads frequently during periods?
Changing pads regularly — ideally every 4–6 hours — prevents prolonged exposure to moisture and heat. Menstrual blood, when left too long against the skin, increases friction and bacterial growth, creating an environment conducive to yeast infections. Frequent changes help reduce irritation and maintain intimate hygiene.
4. How do Sofy Cool pads help prevent yeast infections?
Sofy Cool pads offer advanced breathability and cooling technology that reduces heat and moisture around the intimate area. By dispersing heat and promoting airflow, Sofy Cool helps maintain a dry environment, decreasing the chances of yeast proliferation and irritation during periods, especially in hot or humid conditions.
5. Can tight clothing increase the risk of yeast infections during periods?
Yes, tight clothing limits airflow and traps heat and moisture in the genital area. This creates an ideal environment for yeast and bacteria to grow. Choosing breathable fabrics and comfortable fits, especially during menstruation, helps promote ventilation and reduce infection risk.
6. Is wearing tampons instead of pads better for yeast prevention?
Tampons absorb menstrual blood internally, which can reduce surface moisture. However, they aren’t inherently better for yeast prevention unless changed regularly. Pads with good breathability, like Sofy Cool, also offer surface dryness and comfort. Choosing what suits your body and changing products appropriately is key.
7. How can I tell if I have a yeast infection during my period?
Signs of a yeast infection include intense itching, burning, redness, and thick, white, cottage-cheese–like discharge. Pain during urination or intercourse may also occur. If these symptoms are present, consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
8. Can diet affect vaginal yeast infections?
Diet can influence yeast infections indirectly. High sugar intake may promote yeast growth, while probiotics (like yogurt) and a balanced diet support healthy bacterial balance. Staying hydrated and eating nutrient-rich foods may help maintain overall vaginal health, alongside good menstrual hygiene practices.
9. Should I use scented menstrual products to feel fresher during periods?
Scented products may mask odor but can irritate sensitive skin and disrupt vaginal pH, increasing infection risk. Unscented, breathable menstrual products are generally safer for intimate health. Sofy Cool pads provide freshness without adding fragrances that could cause irritation.
10. When should I see a doctor for yeast infection symptoms?
See a healthcare provider if symptoms are severe, persistent, or recurring frequently. Intense itching, unusual discharge, pain, or discomfort beyond mild irritation may require medical evaluation. Professional guidance ensures proper treatment and prevents complications or misdiagnosis.
