Believe it or not, some of us are allergic to the material that is used to make condoms.
I'm sorry to say that just because you used a condom, it does not exclude the possibility of a std.
It may be an allergic reaction to the condoms being used or it may be a yeast infection.
There's a douche that you can get from the drugstore for cleansing. If you aren't allergic to iodine, eggs, or shellfish, try the douche first. It has a packet of iodine in it.
If this doesn't help the symptoms of the itch, then I suggest maybe seeing a doctor or getting some monistat vaginal inserts. These can be obtained at the drug store as well. You could also try eating some yogurt. Yogurt helps to kill the bacteria that causes yeast infections. Good luck.

Get checked for STDs anyway. Condoms arent 100% effective against all STDs. If not an STD, you could have some kind of infection.

Maybe a yeast infection which can be taken care of with a prescription or over the counter meds. Go to your doctor to have it checked.

You might have a yeast infection. You can look at the following link to check and see.

If it's not, it could just be increased discharge - some women will have more white discharge that's sticky-ish before their periods.
