There could be three options for the reaction, burning etc.

1. You could be reacting to the sodium polyacrylate in them. That's the powdery stuff that turns to gel when fluid is added. It can cause anything from rawness to toxic shock if you are sensitive to it, so if you are reacting be careful with continuing to use them if you think it might be an ingredient thing. It's also one of the main ingredients in disposable sanitary pads and nappies as well, so if you are reacting to this you would or could also react to the sanitary pads (it's been removed from tampons in the 1980's so if you mainly use those then you'd obviously wouldn't react) and bubs might react to sposie nappies when it comes along as they get the initial immune system from us through the placenta.

2. It could be thrush. If you've been leaking a lot and haven't changed them often enough it does become a nice damp place for thrush to grow.

3. Disposable hygiene products named above do normally also contain trace amounts of PVC. It's only a very small amount and you would have to be highly sensitive to have such an extreme reaction (which you might be) but I would be more inclined to think it was one of the other two or perhaps the combination.

There are lots of places that sell them. Maz. The Cloth Pad Shop. Noonee Wilga. Outrageous Cloth.
I've always been a tampon girl pads were comfy for me
