What if rubbing happens only on heavy days?

Use the bleeding day and product timing tables. They can show the pattern without guessing the cause.

Should I note walking, workouts, or tight clothes?

Yes. Activity and clothing can help tell the story of friction, heat, and timing.

Pad Chafing Period Notes

Q: Can Floriva hold these notes?

Yes. Floriva can keep short notes on your device. Paper works too.

A no-diagnosis worksheet for pad chafing, friction timing, activity context, bleeding day, product timing, skin symptoms, and care questions.

Pad chafing can be hard to describe.

It may feel like rubbing, burning, or raw skin.

It may change by the hour.

This worksheet helps you track timing.

It does not say a pad caused it.

It does not diagnose the cause.

It does not tell you what product to use.

For rash notes, use the vulvar rash skin change notes.

For wider product notes, use the period product irritation log.

This page is educational. It is not medical advice.

First chafing note

Fill this in when rubbing or raw skin starts.

Question Your note Date and time Period day, if known Where it rubs What it feels like rubbing / burning / stinging / raw / sore / other Pain or soreness, 0 to 10 Itching, 0 to 10 Burning, 0 to 10 Skin change you can see none / redness / dark patch / bump / crack / sore / not sure Pad or liner used before this Activity before this walk / workout / work shift / travel / sitting / other Main care question

Use short notes.

"Raw skin where the pad edge sits" is useful.

Do not guess the diagnosis.

Friction and chafing notes

Use one row for each flare.

Date Time Location Rubbing source Moisture or sweat Pain 0 to 10 Burn 0 to 10 What changed : : labia / crease / thigh / butt / not sure pad edge / underwear / skin fold / not sure dry / damp / sweaty / not sure

This table is a timing record.

It does not prove what caused the chafing.

Activity and context

Friction can depend on the day.

Use this table to note what was happening.

Date Context Clothing note Heat or sweat Sitting or walking time Note school / work / travel / workout / home / other tight / loose / new / usual / not sure yes / no / not sure short / long / not sure

These notes can help at care.

They are not a self treatment plan.

Bleeding day note

Use one row for each day of bleeding.

Date Bleeding day Flow Pad or liner change times Chafing today Note day 1 / day 2 / day 3 / other spotting / light / medium / heavy yes / no / not sure

This can show if timing matters.

It does not prove the cause.

If dryness shows up before bleeding, use the vaginal dryness before period notes.

Product and timing notes

List products or fabric that touched the area.

Date Time Item New or usual Where it touched Symptom timing Note pad / liner / wipe / soap / detergent / underwear / medicine / other new / usual / not sure vulva / underwear / thigh / not sure before / during / after

This is not a product plan.

It is not a product ranking.

For more product timing, use the vulvar irritation product exposure log.

Skin symptoms

Check what fits today.

Skin feels raw. Skin feels sore. Skin burns. Skin stings. Skin itches. Skin looks red. Skin looks darker than usual. Bumps showed up. Cracks showed up. Sores showed up. Swelling showed up. Discharge changed. Smell changed. Pain with tampon insertion showed up. Burning with pee showed up.

This checklist does not diagnose.

It helps you remember what changed.

If burning is the main issue, use the vulvar burning symptom notes.

Care questions

Pick the questions that fit.

Do my notes suggest I need an exam? Do I need a lab test? Could this be dermatitis? Could infection need testing? Could friction, fabric, sweat, or a product matter? Does bleeding day matter? Does activity or clothing matter? What should I track if this happens again? What symptoms mean I should call sooner?
