I have asked if something hurts or itches (she wears a pad) but she quickly says no and takes them out. This just started and not sure what to make of it.

My aunt does that. She used to be bad about it. She stopped for awhile. She recently started wearing pull ups and I think she rests  her hands inside the elastic top on top of her belly.  I don't say anything to her about it. Hoping it will pass again.

She may be too modest/embarrassed to admit she is uncomfortable. It could be a yeast infection, or it could just be the pad causing discomfort (I used to be irritated by menstrual pads and we only need to wear them for a few days a month, having to wear something 24/7 ... yikes!). If it is yeast it needs to be treated, and there are soothing creams if it is something else.
