It's possible it's an allergic reaction.

If you use commercial tampons or pads such as Tampax, Playtex, Kotex, OB, always, etc. these contain various chemicals that can cause allergic reaction. Try switching to other products such as hypo-allergenic cotton tampons or pads such as Cottons or Natracare, cloth pads such as Lunapads or Gladrags, menstrual cups such as Divacup or Mooncup, softcups or songes - all are also healthier than commercial tampons and pads.

It may not be related to your sanitary protection at all.

Often during menstruation women over-wipe after using the bathroom due to taboos about menstruation being 'dirty' making women feel unclean, which may cause irritation. Labia may also swell due to increased blood flow to genitals during menstruation.
