Molested at 7 and have to keep toilet paper in my underwear to this day (27)

I have no memory of being molested or sexually abused, although I have my suspicions based on the symptoms I experienced as a child and now as an adult and this is one of them. I don't always put something in my underwear but some of my earliest memories are being extremely uncomfortable with any kind of wetness in my underwear.

I have a very specific memory, under the age of 10 for sure, where my mom was asking me why I was going through so many pairs of underwear. It's because I changed them multiple times a day because I couldn't stand the sensation of being wet down there. I still do this at the age of 28. Me and my partner laugh about it because it sounds silly but I've always felt weird about it and wondered why. It got worse when I went through puberty because, you know, discharge and all and that drove me nuts and still does to this day.
