Vaginal infections are more common than we think. They are often experienced after periods, due to moisture build-up during periods. Infections are also caused by irritants present in sanitary pads. To prevent vaginal infections, most women prefer antibacterial pads because these are known to keep infections and skin irritations at bay.
