Darkening of skin around the vagina" after" use of sanitary pads, is seen in some. It may be a sort of abnormal reaction or allergy to the constituents of the pad, esp material. So she can try to change the brand of the pad and see. If that too causes the darkening then better to use cloth pads (as was and is still used by some women) or you can use tampons. Tampons are small chalk like looking sanitary measure which has to be inserted in the vagina at menses. The tampon swells in the vagina and prevents to menstrual blood from coming out of the vagina. When the woman using a tampon gets privacy, she can change the tampon and get herself cleaned. Since a tampon lies in the vagina, it will not darken the skin around the private parts.
