What are /r/badwomensanatomy's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You didn't ask for advice or suggestions, but... is it possible that what you have is not recurrent UTIs, at all, but rather interstitial cystitis? I only bring it up because you mentioned the standard preventive measures for UTIs not helping, and I have a friend in your situation who was recently diagnosed with this lesser known condition.

I use it to create my own vibration patterns but it's meant to connect up with a partners account so they can control it at a distance lol. It's pretty neat and its one of their main selling points lol

Incase you're curious its this one We-Vibe Sync Adjustable Couples Vibrator, Purple https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQ1S8MS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NAYHDb019F3X4

Also google tells me they were sued in 2017 over tracking their customers data lol. Sounds like something I should have researched better

Protip: Use deodorant on the area after shaving to reduce ingrown hairs. It will help keep you dry and prevent chafing and irritation. Also, be sure to clean your skin well first (I use antibacterial soap), and moisturize with shaving cream or a moisturizing body wash before/during shaving. Use a sharp blade (Dollar shave club is great for this because razors at the store are insanely expensive). I use a mens razor because they're sharper and have more blades, and they seem to contour to your body a bit better. Always shave with the grain. There's also an aftershave type product that I've heard women rave about, but I can't remember the name. Maybe someone else will know. Edit: It's called Coochy Cream.

For ingrown hairs, I usually just soak my tweezers in alcohol, and gently pull the hair out from under the skin--but not pluck it out entirely. Idk about you, but I get ingrown hairs in the same spot every time, so it seems to be something about that specific hair follicle that goes awry. If I pluck it out, it'll just grow back and start to be ingrown again, so that's why I just dig it out of the skin and let it grow above the skin.

I am not a cosmetologist so feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt.

Well have I got good news for you (LOL)! https://www.amazon.com/Poise-Impressa-Incontinence-Bladder-Supports/dp/B00ZGZSI80?th=1

Not scientifically measured, but someone did a lot of interviews and wrote a book called Orgasmic Birth.

I was sad because I read it and was all ready to at least have sex to try to start labor before my scheduled induction (pitocin is man-made oxytocin)...but my husband was like, "There's a baby in them thar lady bits," and was just too weirded out by the whole prospect.

(She's A Sentient Shampoo And He's A Living Conditioner Who Wants To Pound My Butt)[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YYWZNL8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9rgXDb8JQJZ6P]

Carl is a struggling actor with a huge audition on the horizon, and he’s determined to embody every aspect of the role. The man Carl’s hoping to portray is ultra clean-cut, which couldn’t be farther from Carl’s rugged ways, but his sentient shampoo wife, Rinby, is willing to help him out with a bit of a makeover.

It suddenly becomes apparent that Carl has never once used conditioner, and to obtain the look he’s going for, this is a must. Now the loving couple is bringing home a handsome living bottle of conditioner named Norb, and Carl is about to experience the bisexual encounter of a lifetime. But is this shampoo and conditioner combo enough to spruce him up for the big audition?

This erotic tale is 4,100 words of sizzling bisexual human on sentient hair product action.

Edit: how the fuck do links work

Is that Faith from Mirror's Edge? Because Faith seems to have this "East VS West" design competition, with Asian fan art giving her larger eyes and breasts.

For her book Learning to Lose, Dale Spencer used audio tapes to evaluate which gender spoke the most in mixed-gender university classrooms. Men were found to always talk more, and they could not perceive how much they spoke. Men perceived the ratio of being 'equal' when women spoke only 15% of the time, and thought that women were dominating the conversation if that percentage rose to only 30%.

Now I kind of wish through some corporate mishap, Sony ended up being legally obliged to make an adaption of the Vagina Monologues, but when some paperwork gets mixed up, it also becomes the sequel to A Talking Cat?!...

Since I can see the potential for this misinformation based on how you phrased the question...

Pee (urine) and menstrual blood aren't coming out of the same part of the body.

Urine comes out of the urinary tract, which on women is a small hole below the clitoris but above the vagina.

The vagina is where blood comes out. It's a larger, more flexible muscle lined canal leading from the uterus. The blood comes out in varying flow and thickness depending on the woman, the day, etc.

The vaginal canal isn't very sensitive to light movement until the very entrance, so the blood isn't really felt except for the actual leaving the body part, for most people. Unless there's like a clot or something.

here's a decent diagram that I found with a quick google search

Look into glass dildos.

I have a lovely one that has dichroic glass in the center and is shaped like a bunch of stacked spheres. No man can ever accuse me of trying to replace their penis with it. Because no penis has ever fucked me with motherfucking rainbow bubbles.

ETA: link for the interested.

All I can think with things like this is did these women not read the same body books as me growing up? Like, The Care and Keeping of You was such a formative experience for me as a girl, and really gently and easily explained how all bodies vary wildly. I seriously thought everyone read that book growing up. Now I'm just sad they didn't.

Even further, I got this great book called Body Drama when I was a teenager that used real women and photographed every inch of them and it helped me understand myself and other women better. How can people really be like this??

Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called Nine Months, here are some Trailers

I strongly recommend you send her a copy of "It's Perfectly Normal" by Robie H. Harris.

Haven't you heard? It does. When guys have too much sex, the penis becomes withered and thin. Get you a guy like this if it looks like this you know he's been sleeping around!11!!

Try a silicone pad for the smaller side. It's the only thing I've found that helps balance them out without actually bothering me. The silicone will warm up to your body temp and effectively disappear rather quickly. It does take some time to get used to, but it's a total sanity saver. I wish I could go braless, but the strain on my back/shoulders is too real and I'll actually have to lay down with something between them to get the pain to stop if I go too long!

This is basically what I use. Picked them up at Walmart for ≤$20. Obviously just use one on the small side, but that works out so you can air out one and wear the other every other day. They wipe clean easily, don't abdorb sweat/stink, and are the most comfortable padding support I've found.

No, that’s not the point. It needs to entice the customer to pick it up in the first place. However, a hanger appears two dimensional. So a lot of three dimensional clothes look like crap while on a hanger but fine on, and vice versa.

These style mannequins are also modeled off stylized high-fashion drawings, which again are trying to make a two dimensional drawing appeal to three dimensions. We don’t do that terribly well as a species and will think “oh! That’s how it looks on me!”

It’s all based in art and psychology. I highly recommend Overdressed: the shockingly high cost of cheap fashion. Very interesting and informative.

Do you also find this thread frustrating?

Since I'm not up in this thread trying to convince people that you need a big penis to satisfy vagina owners I will add some details from a cursory google search. It is hard to measure, but some sources suggest 3-6, this WebMD article says "When a woman is aroused, it increased to 4.25 inches to 4.75 inches." Personally I max out around 6.5" on a good day with a lot of work - so usually less than that. No sources suggest 7" is the average depth of an aroused vagina.

You’re right, breastfeeding for a minimum of 6 months (if possible) and then start introducing solids along with breast (or bottle). My understanding is that it’s globally. My medical professionals follow these guidelines here in Canada and we have access to healthy food. Breastfeeding is about the continued health benefits for the child. BUT, as a disclaimer, we all do what’s best for our families. Some women can’t or don’t want to breastfeed and supplement with formula or wean in the early months and that’s totally cool and right too.

I attached the WHO link and a Mayo Clinic link below

http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/exclusive_breastfeeding/en/

https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/infant-and-toddler-health/in-depth/extended-breastfeeding/art-20046962

Up until about 1986 about 40% of women were majoring in computer science, that number had since dropped to about 17%. Men did hardware, women coded. (https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/10/06/345799830/the-forgotten-female-programmers-who-created-modern-tech)[Here's a source for that.]

What about them? Are you suggesting a dildo can cause that? That seems pretty unlikely, do you have a source or do you think it's just the old bad anatomy idea that "big dicks destroy pussy"?

Dildos are not even mentioned in any list of causes of uterine or bladder prolapse that I can find. Considering the popularity of sex toys, you would think at least some medical institution would mention it if it was such a risk. You can see the actual causes here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/uterine-prolapse/symptoms-causes/syc-20353458

Yes the vagina does indeed expand with arousal, in length and the muscles relax allowing it to accept larger objects more easily. See confirmation here and here.

So it does actually "shrink when not in use" in overall volume (length as well as circumference both decrease, which is why a woman can usually touch her cervix with her finger and why tampons don't just fall out, but when turned on she can accept entire 6+ inch penis or a whole fist).

The meme just misuses this information. Presumably because after being away for over a month his girlfriend is happy to see him and horny for him but he assumes she's "loose" from having sex with other men.

It’s spelled alum. Usually it’s Sodium aluminum sulfate. It causes skin dehydration, which can create a kind of tightening effect, and has a whole host of potential nasty side effects .

The theory goes that as humans have hidden ovulation (other mammals go into heat) there is a requirement to advertise fecundity. Other mammals have enlarged breasts only when nursing, as this is the only time there is a requirement for them. Breast development as a secondary sexual characteristic in humans shows the age at which humans can reproduce. In this case humans are unusual as (as another poster said) it is usually the males that develop secondary sexual characteristics (such as peacocks etc). I read about this in this book amongst others.

It's definitely possible to involuntarily urinate or defecate for both men and women. There can be different causes, often it can be triggered by coughing or sneezing which causes the sphincter responsible for holding urine in the bladder to release. This can be because of damage or weakening of the muscles involved due to accidents, illness, pregnancy and childbirth.

It does affect women more than men, more info available here https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/urinary-incontinence/symptoms-causes/syc-20352808.

There was one such “field guide” posted both here and r/MenWritingWomen a long while ago, took me a while to find it

Aside from the weird misogynist shit…dopamine is <em>not</em> some kind of &quot;pleasure chemical&quot;. Neurotransmitters have multiple functions and it's never so clear-cut as "DOPAMINE = REWARD" or "OXYTOCIN = LOVE" etc.

It actually is a thing. It's called intertrigo and can occur anywhere where skin rubs against each other. If you have breasts that touch the skin underneath and your bra doesn't lift them off correctly, you can get it pretty easily.

I have no idea how rare it is, but I do know that I've had it in the past and never told a soul (until just now I guess) so, like many other embarrassing personal problems, I find it likely that women that deal with it aren't going around shouting from the rooftops. Especially when other women make it seem super abnormal.

There’s a great 3pack on Amazon that I got and I don’t get that feeling at all. They’re the perfect overnight solution for me

Once again this is from a joke book the same book has baby's growing in a women's legs https://www.amazon.com/Story-Life-Chris-Simpsons-Artist/dp/1409175847 herenus the Amazon link to the book van we please stop posting pictures from it

https://www.webmd.com/women/picture-of-the-cervix

Simplified explanation- It’s basically at the end of the vagina (the inside end) and it closes up early in pregnancy to seal out any germs and crap from getting to the baby.

When labor starts, the cervix starts to thin and open up (effaced = thinning, dilating = opening). When you hear in movies the doctor saying “you’re 5 cm dilated” that’s referring to the cervix. The vagina itself isn’t opening up into like a tunnel or anything. When they check your cervix in the hospital (or wherever), they literally shove their fingers way way up there and it honestly feels like they’re scraping at you. It’s very painful. Of course they don’t show this in movies, they make it seem like they just take a peek and say “yep you’re ready to push” lol

I thought it was going to turn into a joke about craving manflesh and PMS but nope. I also like the bit about how Canadian women aren't fat and disgusting. I suspect the comparison is American women, who obviously only eat hamburgers.

Ok, maybe it was $15 but still...

I agree. I get mine at Walmart or Target. I've had my last brush since at least 2012. I do have one of those heavier bristle brushes that helps get the hair and dry shampoo out of it. So it's like new again.

Edit to add: this is roughly what I use to clean my hairbrush

No, the cervix cannot open in this way. Not with a penis, anyway. You can use small dilator rods like these (you would use a 4mm to start) to get a very very very tiny object into the uterus (like an IUD), and that can cause contraction-like cramping, but in general the cervix is just an area that feels wrong to brush up against. The cramps you'd feel during sex are closer to menstrual cramps than contractions. If you had a surgical abortion, they used a combination of medications and these dilators to perform the abortion.

Came here expecting a comment like yours and was glad to find it. Here is some evidence to backup your thoughts on vaginal length and width change depending on situaitons.

Here it is for $9.

Get a wet bag. It's a little waterproof pouch to put the used ones in. Here's one of the sets I got. The first set came with an absolutely huge wet bag and not quite enough pads for my whole cycle. So I went with this set for my second purchase and the wet bag is the perfect size for two. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT09RUQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

every time you click the button, the number goes up by one. usually used at carnivals and things to count large numbers of people

Oda specifically mentioned in a fan-mail segment that he draws all his women like this even though female readers have been vocally upset by it.

this article detailing Oda’s fan-mail thing is literally full of him saying misogynistic shit. i can’t take One Piece seriously because the mangaka seems like such a fuckhead.

I'm so jealous of people who can just throw on a cheap sports bra and be comfy. They just don't fit my body right because I'm too busty to be able to just wear a bra made with S-M-L type sizing. They also tend to be painful, there's not enough support so my back hurts, and the straps also usually hit me way too high on my neck and dig in for some reason. I have to go with something like this, that comes in regular bra sizes and has cups and underwires.

I went with whatever was cheap and highly rated on amazon. I'm very happy overall l. My first set came with a huge wet bag and bot quite enough pads for me. The second set I purchased I looked for a smaller wet bag and got just what I was looking for. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYQTBRP?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT09RUQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I am so sorry. I am even more sorry to tell you there's another version of the foot-vagina that has the "vagina" in the leg-stump and is called "vajankle", but that was somehow even more horrifying and I just couldn't post a link for that.

But you can google it if you never want to sleep again.

Yasss! Get yourself this bra. It's in UK sizing though so make sure you aren't using US sizing. And it runs a little tight so you might have to sister size up for comfort. But it's true, it keeps those things in their place.

The instead cups are a bit different. They are larger around and supposed to fit closer to your cervix, kind of like a diaphragm. They are made to be disposable and some people can even have sex with them in. To me, they are super uncomfortable and I could never get them to work right. To be honest, after trying the Instead cups, I was very hesitant to try any other menstrual cup because I had such a hard time with them. The diva cup is around $45 dollars so I did some research and got the Athena cup instead. It was around $15 bucks on amazon prime and it is so much more comfortable! I love it and it has made my period so much easier to deal with. These cups are a game changer.

Considering how there's dinosaur erotica on Amazon, I wouldn't be surprised if this severely misguided woman actually wrote and published a book.

how about something like this one ?

i feel like the photographs are not only graphic, but also confusing... i guess obgyns wouldn't be shocked and would recognize what they are looking at, but i don't!

on the visual side, i'd make the two paragraphs clearly independent, either next to each other, or full width with one before and one after the pictures: but having it starting in the middle of a sentence ("know for understanding...") makes it hard to read;

i would put the contact info in a separate box, or on the bottom horizontal line;

might even want to move the subtitle up under the main title;

and if you find a good detailed picture, i would use it on its own: think clear, no distraction, easy to read.

by the way the little 1 is missing from the footnote!

ETA: I realized the pic i linked is actually the one used on wikipedia so you probably saw it and dismissed it already. if you don't manage to find anything better than those photographs, you could use it and caption it.

When my sister and I were toddlers, we were in the grocery store & my sister kept yelling "moooom, my VAGINA itches!!" Louder and louder. My mom was super embarrassed and pretended not to know us. lol. It was definitely my sister who said it, and not me 👀

Looking back, my Mom was probably just embarrassed that my sister said vagina when she meant vulva :P

In the nose? Now that book about getting fucked in the nose by a micropenis makes a lot more sense.

I’m sure you heard of the cups and they are great but I will say hands down the best pads are the Always Infinity. They are super thin, comfortable and hold a lot. I can’t use any other pad, it’s some patented foam material. Anyway, I hope you try them, they changed my opinion of pads. Oh and if you’re looking for a cup, I recommend the Athena from amazon, it’s only $14.95 so it wouldn’t be a huge loss if it didn’t work for you.

Same! Not OP but I still have to use tampons and pass the first 2 days because I am extremely heavy in the beginning and leak through cups in less than an hour. But after those horrendous first days I can switch to the cup and it’s like I don’t even have my period anymore, it’s amazing! I also save so much money because I’m using a lot less products. I wish I could use it for heavy days too (and believe me, I have tried) but I was staining everything again, even with the bigger cup! Also, hydrogen peroxide and cold water take blood stains right out :) And the cup I use is only $14.95 on amazon and I highly recommend it.

Well when they’re in their applicators they’re skinny for ease of insertion but they expand in the vagina when absorbing fluids. Some expand with “wings,” others expand in a cone shape. If you’ve ever seen a commercial for Playtex Sport tampons, they illustrate their “360 degree protection” by showing a tampon that has expanded into a cone. If you look the product up on Amazon, the product images will show the back of the box and you’ll see what I mean. Your husband has the right idea, but a tampon cone definitely wouldn’t be practical as a tree topper support 😂

Edit* it’s the second image

I'm going to defend legitimate evolutionary psychology. The shit in TRP is so far removed from the actual science it's sad. But there does exist valid evo-psych. Without evolutionary psychology we wouldn't have the really cool discovery of increased avuncularity in gay men and why homosexuality (among men at least) is technically evolutionarily advantageous.

But no, they want to draw piss-poor conclusions from statistics.

No, the term loli came from some Russian pedophilia book about some old guy going after a seven year old. (If my memory serves me correctly.) If someone uses the word "Loli" to describe something or someone they are more than likely thinking of something like this.

Exhibit A; &quot;Anime Loli&quot;

While there are differences between women's and men's muscle anatomy, the overall structures are the same (with the obvious exception of breast tissue and genitals) and this is pretty useless as the art reference I suspect it's meant to be. In general you should use actual people (or photos of) for art reference, or failing that an anatomical model. (something along these lines)

Here is a medical abstract with pictures of genitals years after infibulation (so it's "healed" and how it's supposed to look), but it also has a picture post operation opening the vagina back up, so click at your own risk. Obviously NSFW depending on where you work. (Since it's medical, it would be fine where I work, but everyone's different obviously).

awh, bless. Here, read this about 500 times for maximum memory retention and hopefully it will stick before you consider everyone under the sun who doesn't agree with you a bigot. poor thing.

I said they think it's western because white people are the most commonly associated with Christianity. That means that the current Bible is viewed as a Western/white thing(since "western culture" is strongly linked with white people). and then I went on to say the "Characters" weren't western. My follow up comments were all about how the Bible was written in the Middle East and Africa, and then changed. When something is changed, then it's not as "correct", because it's literally different. It wasn't written to be grouped together, and it wasn't written in the languages it's written in today. The changes that I said were based on Protestant Reformations. Do you not know what those are? They're not based on race. Christianity is the closest to the originals because they didn't have the major reform that created Protestants. Protestants are people who said "I don't like how the Catholic church says the Bible is written. I think it means this." We even had a King who got so pissed he had his own version of the Bible written (King James). Thomas Jefferson rewrote the Bible too, but his copy didn't get very popular. The Bible we have today, was not written 2000 years ago. The different parts of the New Testament weren't even written at the same time. There's been whole books added and removed over the centuries. You can even get a copy of ones that were removed. You can't say a book that's been changed as drastically as the Bible has been, is the original.

You can admit that you misread my first comment, and have wanted to be right so bad that you've just completely ignored what I've said after that. It's ok to be wrong, as you said yourself.

I don't think there is any downside to trying. This is the brand I take. You can see the dosage is 1300 mg per pill. I find that buying it online is cheaper. The company that sells it also has free shipping if your order is above a certain amount, and they sell all sorts of things so if there is something else you normally use you can bundle that into your order and get free shipping. They even have some drugstore brand things, like Cetaphil and Eucerin and CeraVe.

If you have Amazon Prime you can get the same dose in this and get the free shipping.

Under $20! I got this cheap Sprite water filter because it fit my shower and they have it at my nearby Lowe's. There are tons of cheap well-reviewed ones on Amazon.

If you look at the other pics you can see exactly where the arms came from. I don't know how to attach more screenshots on mobile. I'm just hoping the link attaches.

It does exist...but is from a lack of bile...

(...Or apparently giving dogs a bunch of bone meal...or leaving it out long enough to get a white fuzzy fungus...)

Has she been to a GYN? Because the pelvic bone can be tilted. Some women also have a uterus that's at a weird angle. The cervix and vaginal vault are right below. I am not a doctor, but I had a friend who had that. Intercourse was painful in some positions, but her GYN was able to help. Putting pillows under the hips to change the angle helped.

If it's vaginismus , the earlier she gets assistance, the easier it will be for her. The muscles can tense unvoluntariably. It's not a conscious reaction because she's uncomfortable with her partner.

You're a great caring partner to be so concerned and want to help. Encourage her to see a GYN or go to a student clinic if she's having any concerns. You can go with her and sit in the waiting room if it makes her feel better.

If she's a teen who hasn't been to a GYN yet, she should for yearly exams anyway. In the US, the doctors are not allowed by federal law to give out any information to anyone else, including parents.

Teens: ask about the HPV vaccine against cervical cancer. Men can be carriers and get the vaccine as well. Cervical cancer is completely treatable if caught early. Which is why yearly pap screens for sexually active women are an absolute must. I recently lost a high school friend to cervical cancer. The vaccine wasn't available when we were teens.

Lube helps. Sometimes natural lubricant isn't enough. Do you have any issues with tampons being painful to insert and/or still feeling dry when you take them out after a few hours? For sex, Astrolube is available in most pharmacies and big box stores and knocks the socks off KY.

Try insertion while you're on top after you lube him up. If your muscles are tight, a dildo can help.

So will reverse kegels. The muscles are a tube, not a ring like it can feel when you do them normally. Do a kegel with a dildo or penis inside you. Or even a tampon with the applicator still on. Squeeze and then push like you do when you pee. Keep pushing and relax. You'll feel when the muscles relax. Repeat. This exercise is a great sex trick. He'll be able to feel you squeezing. Sometimes pelvic floor muscles can be too tight.

If you're still having pain, it gets worse, or it hurts when you touch your clit and/or vulva, go to your GYN. There's a couple of problems that are totally fixable, but the sooner you get help the easier it will be to remedy. Like vaginismus .

If you're dry outside of sex, try Replens . It's made for when natural lubricant decreases with age, but it can also help if you're just naturally on the dry side.

Vaginas are self cleaning. You don't need 'feminine products' or special vagina cleaners. No douches or sprays. Just mild fragrance free soap on a warm cloth to clean the folds. The other products can alter the pH balance and cause yeast infections, etc. Vaginas aren't supposed to smell like flowers or ocean breeze.

I’m in the UK so I’m not sure what ones you’ll have available (I believe you’re in India?) but I found these: https://www.flipkart.com/beauty-and-grooming/sexual-wellness/vaginal-dilator/pr?sid=g9b%2Calu%2Ck01 Now, they don’t have to be used under the guidance of a doctor, but it would obviously be preferable for a doctor to be involved!

Ah, Docecacil!

“We’re so close to beating that thing completely!”

There's some science about women showing increased genital blood flow when being shown violent rape scenes but they vocally expressed disgust with the video. The best explanation is that to protect the female body, life, and reproductive system from harm so that we can propagate our genes us women respond physically positively to rape so that we don't die of infection or have loss of reproductive function due to physical damage or infection from injury.

So honestly, while his statistics were off women do experience increased physical arousal in anticipation of rape even if they mentally have no desire or enjoyment from it and its to keep us from dying.

A PAPER ON WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT

Reminds me of the "this X does not exist" sites that use GANs to create images. Sometimes surprisingly realistic... sometimes monstrosities.

https://thisrentaldoesnotexist.com/ is a good one, as is https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ there used to be one for cats but seems to no longer exist. Have to hit refresh a few times to start seeing weirdness usually.

Actually, this has happened at least once. Source: <strong>https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Oral-conception.-Impregnation-via-the-proximal-in-a-Verkuyl/1960acec02af887628116c77caf1079f726d2c89</strong>

Bloody /u/Crystal_Dawn ruined my world-changing, eco-friendly enterprise by pointing out that Tampax just wrap them in paper!

And now...and now you’re telling me some bloody fashion mob already make women’s jeans with functional pockets!

It’s been a night of highs and lows, let me tell you that for free!

Edit: in fairness, it was really Tampax that ruined my tampon enterprise.

of course! Back Brace!

If anyone is curious, this is the book they're referring to: https://www.amazon.com/Times-Were-Changin-Sixties-Reader/dp/0609803379

It's really just a collection of documents/speeches/whatever from the '60s.

Same. I only play it when I'm bored. The only mobile MMORPG I have seen that's alright is This one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madotter.vhmmo

And maybe this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ee.mo.rpgnew

There was another that I forgot the name of, but it looked like one of those old school dungeon crawler games without much animation. It was alright, but kind of empty of people.

So I took a little saunter over to amazon to look at shapewear for the upper body, and found this. Even though this one has a cami style, you can see the clearly separated boobs, because the idea here is to smooth the stomach and the back, without affecting the breasts. There are also many styles that omit covering the breasts entirely, but those look very uncomfortable. I wouldn't be surprised if a style like the one in the link, or the shirt in the picture, was much more comfortable.

Those monitor stickers are the WORST! Those fuckers and the clear patch they put over IVs have been tearing me up since childhood, and then a few months ago my housemate's dad told me about this stuff they were using while changing dressings around a skin graft he got.

If you don't want to click the link, Google "medical adhesive remover."

Life. Changing.

RES adds little buttons next to image links that let you open the image without leaving the current page(like this). Albums dont get those, so when there's just a single image in the album, imguralbumbot makes it way more convenient for RES users to view it.

(Or, at least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I could be wrong.)

Random advise- I have trouble remembering if I took my morning meds- I started using this cap with a timer so I can tell at a glance if I have taken them or not

Thick, no 'toe, pockets.

I have them in a bunch of colors. I wouldn't hesitate to wear them out of the house if I was someone who wore yoga pants in public.

I think the point is that an elastic tube is generally not only elastic in one direction. There is definitely evidence to prove there is a range in vaginal length.

She's almost got it right. You have another guy fuck you, but not nut, so that his dick pulls the other sperm out like a squeegee.

I'm mostly joking but there is some speculation on this theory

Sperm thrives is a warm moist environment. Outside the body, sperm will die by the time that it’s dries, but if a man ejaculates inside a woman, they can live up to 5 days.

Get the Liberator blanket.

It's a touch pricey, but imo worth EVERY penny. It no-joke completely reworked our bedroom life. No self-consciousness or worry about ruining the comforter/sheets/mattress. My wife's able to really just let it all go, it's fantastic. Can't recommend it enough.

Pretty sure they're talking about something like this

...I call this tale...

I found it through Amazon Kindle store. I remember reading her books priorhand but now, I cannot remember if there was anything off like this or not due to memory issues but I do like her books to the thriller aspects.

Now I gotta go back and read more to see if there is anymore like this

Start looking for the right doctor early. I knew since my teens that I'd want an elective c-section. I saved every article I saw on the subject. There's also a useful book on the subject that's probably available through your local library.

When I finally became pregnant (at nearly forty), I had an article from more than a decade before about a doctor in my state who strongly believes that the patient should have the right to decide how she gives birth. I had to go a few towns over for my appointments, but I had the birth I'd always dreamed of :)

It’s possibly a fungal infection. Typical acne washes/creams won’t work. Try this.

According to this book, they used to be back in the day, prior to indoor lighting. I'm a bit skeptical, but the book is otherwise incredible... If i could just find a partner to practice with...

Women's Anatomy of Arousal: Secret Maps to Buried Pleasure https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B075DT1N3C/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_NXJ3AP5XAHPDGHVCEKEP?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I found this one on a different site (same dress picture) msdark

And then I found this one on Amazon which I think is the same dress under a different brand [Amazon version](smile.amazon.com/dp/B09FDYK3FX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5WKJ6H542DCWK05T85NP)

This book is about everything, and has a whole chapter about masterbation. https://www.amazon.ca/Lets-Talk-About-Teens-Relationships/dp/1984893149

A lot of positivity and guidance. It's a graphic novel about sex, so it is graphic. It doesn't shy away from proper anatomy and body diversity. And it treats sex and sexual pleasure so naturally which is refreshing. Very easy to understand and conversational.

Kay's Anatomy: A Complete (and Completely Disgusting) Guide to the Human Body https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0241452929/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_024TQX95DER6EW1ZKYBK

Written by Ex Doctor turned comedian Adam Kay. He was an obs and gynae doctor for several years and kept a diary which he published into “this is going to hurt” and he’s written anatomy books for children and other books on anatomy I think.

People seem to mistake not openly talking about sex with not talking about it at all. If you look at the Wikipedia page on Victorian Morality you see that they mention erotica existing in private letters. And to use your terminology all the freaky shit occurred in pornographic novels. I have read some of the novel A Romance of Lust and so far it has oral, vaginal, anal, incest, and male on male.

Is it something that happens? My SO and I were comparing elbows when we saw it, and both of ours, despite our different builds and genders, were at the bottom of our ribcages in length. I've never seen someone with arms that long. Please do correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seemed like a poor photoshop.

this is the link we had to the listing

It's a bit exaggerated, but the ribcage does stick out to a degree with that pose. The human ribcage isn't flat, and has all kinds of curves you wouldn't normally notice outside of certain positioning and/or viewing angles.

This example is the closest I can find to that pose: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/girl-bikini-arched-on-her-back-2487006

If you want, this episode of You're Wrong About really challenged my views on obesity and fat shaming and how i think about fat shaming in particular. I first listened to it a year ago and I've thought about it regularly since. They also list all their souces in the article one of the hosts also wrote about the topic.

Ah, I understand what you're saying. I wasn't trying to argue, just provide some info about this condition in order to explain that it doesn't necessarily indicate the person is intersex as it can result from disorders like PCOS and other conditions that cause endocrine hormonal output disruptions, which are disorders that can and do affect non-intersex people.

It may be more likely than what the other commenter suggested, but it is not the only possibility and may not even be the most likely of all the possibilities. My point is that it is impossible to say and that's why we shouldn't assume anything, but just know that it can stem from a variety of causes, not just from being intersex.

Also, thanks for taking the care to use the term in the future. I know it can be confusing because hermaphrodite is what we learn in bio and what we use for other species, but as the wiki paraphrases what this study notes,

> These terms are no longer used: terms including the word 'hermaphrodite' are considered to be misleading, stigmatizing, and scientifically specious in reference to humans.

I appreciate your sensitivity to these issues and applaud your inclusive approach, thanks again for taking the time and consideration.

That is when you get like wrinkly dimply areas due to uneven fat distribution.

Hey! Look at this Link I have constantly open so I can reference whenever I need it, I don’t know if you’ve read it but it’s a good read about this very issue!

It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!
