A thread to talk about everything related to your menstrual cycle and ovulation! Please don’t be creepy or make any sexual posts about period “fetishes” that’s gross however discussion of sexual feelings during different times of your cycle is acceptable as long as you’re not being egregious or overdescriptive

Menstrual cups changed my life, they are easy to use and you can just forget about your period. Just get one with a loop and they are super easy to remove compared to a disc and don't spill over your hand.

I use period underwear, my favorite is from this brand called Aerie (https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/undies/period-underwear/aerie-real/9442_6835_073?menu=cat4840006&bvstate=pg:2/ct:r&gQT=1)

I want to buy more, its only available online, but its been out of stock in my size forever. I like them because the fabric is a cotton and the cut of them is really nice, there's a good coverage and the waistband doesn't leave red marks.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a similar brand/material make up and cut that's more affordable and in stock?

I use a Lumma, with the stem trimmed down to a little nub. What I love about discs is they don't create a vacuum, making them much easier to pull out. I picked after seeing a positive review on it by Period Nirvana on instagram.
Seriously check her out if you're interested in cups and discs. She has a great website with tons of info about many different brands. A webshop too although it might be more expensive to buy from her depending on where you live
Re: applicator. Honestly an applicator seems like way more trouble than just plopping it in with your hands. Insertion is super easy: just fold it double and slide it in. Once it's past the narrow bit the disc unfolds itself. The tricky bit is just due to my anatomy, not the disc itself. I have a very low cervix (another reason cups don't quite work for me) and after insertion I have to ensure the disc actually sits around it, rather than having slipped passed it. Which require a bit of digging for me. YMMV

I never used to have period cramps. I’d bleed heavy, but no real cramps. I got a copper iud earlier this year and since then, my periods have been hell on earth. The pain starts a day before my period and is genuinely debilitating. Right now I’m at work hiding in the bathroom so I don’t cause a scene. It comes in waves so it’s okay to manage in between peaks, but at the height of a wave I genuinely can’t move and am almost brought to tears. Is this what it’s supposed to be like? How can I manage this? I’m considering getting my iud out because it is genuinely so excruciating. Does anyone else have this experience and if so, how do you handle the pain?

A thread for women who are asexual or want to discuss asexuality.

I made this thread because unfortunately other community's on the internet that were made for asexuals got overtaken by trannys, kinksters and other degens. So there are rarely places for people that actually struggle with asexuality to talk about

Is there anyone here who legitimately has no sex drive (that isn't from medication) instead of just not wanting real life sex? Most anons just sound sex repulsed if anything. I cannot remember the last time I felt 'horny' and don't have sexual fantasies, never masturbated even when having crushes etc.

No. 448284

I feel like a lot of my "asexuality" is probably based on the fact that i strongly believe that having a sexual relationship with anyone is impossible. I used to really want a boyfriend when i was a teenager, but ever since i opened my eyes to how men truly are and found out about porn, i see them as repulsive. I come to realise that sex is most likely overrated and my sex drive in general is dwindling into nothing as i am reaching my 30s. I think i only masturbate once a month at most nowadays. I no longer have thoughts about romance or sex either, it has stopped being a curiosity to me all together. I can barely think about husbandos either and that makes me sad because it was a fun way to explore what little sexual desires i had left, but i don't have that anymore. Even masturbation feels dull when i do it. I want the urge dealt with as quickly as possible. I feel like it's being caused more by depression more than anything else, i've been feeling underwhelmed about everything for a while.

i hate having no friends irl that care about celibacy. everyone is having sex, theres such a prominent sex-positive mentality atm, people talk about it so often and so freely with no concern for those around that may be avoidant of such topics. its gross and i dont want to hear any of it. i think a lot of people these days just need to be having less sex.

I not only find anyone sexually attractive, even when I fantasize about intercourse, I'm literally not a participant in it, just a story that unfolds - sadly over the years it draws me to weird and taboo fantasies (yeah I'm still not an active participant in them)

What would you say is the best thing you learned as as a woman that you would tell another woman? What do you wish someone told you earlier?

Can be a word of wisdom from a woman in your life, a piece of media, a band, anything that moved you or you learned to be true

Just nothing detailed about killing men I think we all know about that.

For instance:
Be fully conscious about the feelings someone gives you and make sure you really want them in your life.

You will get what you tolerate in life, and this applies to relationships, jobs, situations, and everything else in between. Know your boundaries and don't tolerate anything less.

No. 454530

know that your very bodies are subject to aesthetic trends as well. the early 2000s would eat you alive for having a phat ass, just as now you get shamed for having a small ass. people get rhinoplasty to have upturned "pixie" noses, while in different time periods they were called pig noses and the straight and narrow was in style. hair textures go in and out of fashion, as do brow shapes and skin tones and textures. remember how freckles were suddenly deemed cute? see beyonce in straight blonde wigs, or ariana grande slathered in nutella to look blacker than the black madonna?
what im saying is, never judge your body by trends, because trends are not an objective and unchanging marker of beauty. what if popular now won't be popular today. if your face doesn't suit thin brows or vice versa, wear them the way you think suits you, and not what society -at this very moment- says suits everyone. and don't make permanent changes to your body to appease these fleeting trends.
also, stop shaving your pubes. no man's pornsick pleasure is worth the nasty scratchy feeling of stubble on your labia.

I couldn't find a recent thread similar enough on here so I wanted to start one myself.

Do any of you struggle with addiction to drugs/alcohol etc? Do you have advice for those who do?

Personally I don't think i have an 'addiction' but a habit which could turn into one. I struggle to go to sleep at night by myself without a few bottles of wine or weed. For the last couple of months I've been going out drinking/smoking every other day. I also picked up smoking because of the people around me even though I don't necessarily like it. I'm still a teenager and I have alcoholics and ex drug addicts in my family so this worries me. I've tried other drugs like Coke and Molly very briefly so I know it isn't very extreme case. Advice/thoughts are appreciated

Never tried drugs, but I also live somewhere with a major coke problem. Pretty much everyone under the age of like 40 seems to be on it. Not just the stereotypical coke users like young hard partying women with rich parents or lawyers trying to unwind from stress or whoever, but seemingly conventional, nice, normal middle class people are commonly on it. There are lots of people living otherwise normal lives, who after finishing their normal jobs on a Friday evening go to the bar after work, keep passing by you every five minutes because they're going into the bathroom to do more bumps, and then go home to their normal homes where their normal spouses and kids are. They're functional, sure, but the question is how long can they stay functional with regular drug use?
You're so right about how it limits socialising if you're not interested in taking coke. I'm basically a recluse at this point because I avoid parties and peer pressure and just hang out with my one friend whose also clean-living. I've drifted apart from people I used to be close to because I'm good at saying no. It's just really crazy how if you're in the younger generation and don't want to do a substance that could ruin your life, you're the weird one.
I really feel for you nona, I hope you get the help you need. Is it possible for you to ask your parents for a loan for the private diagnosis?
I don't have the solution to drug dependency of course, but I would suggest reading Mackenzie Phillips' biography High on Arrival for motivation. She's the daughter of Papa John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas (famous hippy group) and her father gave her drugs from a young age. Started off with weed and acid and was on coke by the time she was in her teens. She was a functional coke user for quite a while when she was starring on a sitcom until she got arrested, and then her addiction spiralled out of control. But she got clean after hitting rock bottom on multiple occasions and has been sober for over a decade now. I think if someone like her, who was literally raised to be an addict can get clean and stay clean, then anyone can.

An update after I've managed to stop smoking any weed for about two weeks now. I feel so much better overall and my self-esteem has significantly gone up since. Not gonna lie, the mood swings are way worse than I would've anticipated. I can handle being overly emotional, but having such a short-temper when you're in a relationship is hard to deal with. I haven't been this snappy and angry since the worst phase of my teens, but I feel so grateful to finally feel my emotions, really feel them and be in touch with myself. This emotional rollercoaster phase is supposed to last for the first 2-4 weeks, so I'm excited to be past that point. Besides that, I'm starting to slowly build an appetite back. I didn't have much trouble with sleeping since I didn't quit cold turkey.

This is it for the negative side effects and the positives already outweigh them easily. I didn't have much relapsing thoughts, I knew my mind was set to it when I decided to stop. When I did, it was easy to blow them away since I've written down all the reasons I had to stop and all the positives I'm feeling. Reading what I wrote and keeping that in mind was the most motivating thing, and I'm excited to write a new journal entry at the 1 month mark to keep myself motivated. Telling people I stopped also helped me staying accountable. Now the hardest thing is realizing that even though it had taken such a big place in my life, it is not my only issue and weed wasn't the cause of all my problems. I might have had that mindset beforehand and thought this would be a miracle cure-all, but it obviously isn't. But it's way easier to face my problems now that I'm not held back.

Sending lots of positive thoughts and strength to nonas struggling. A lot of you itt are past the denial stage, already know why you're abusing drugs and what sets you back from stopping, so you have all the cards in your hands to make that change.

thank you for this nonnie. 'casual' coke use is commonplace where i'm from too (might as well just say it: the UK) and what you've said about conventional middle-class people using on weekends with a spouse and kids at home is par for the course here too. it's probably less common in small towns, and i know that being a graduate in a city where nearly half of the population are under 40 means i have far more exposure to it. but in saying that, when i lived with my parents in a smaller town about an hour from a major city, i was still working with people my age who'd talk about their habitual weekend drug use, even when the local bars/clubs/pubs would only be open until around midnight.

slight tangent, but it's also standard to start going to festivals and parties at around 14/15/16 here - so naturally, when teens are away from parents for a weekend in a big field, sharing a tent with 10 mates and as much booze as their car can carry, they're going to be heavy and irresponsible with their drug use, and this is just accepted as a regular teenage experience. i'd probably be a hypocrite if i complained about the normalisation of it (as someone who partakes, largely enabled by the ease of being able to access drugs), but being able to source drugs at 16 for leeds fest should absolutely not be standard.

my parents wouldn't be able to lend me that amount of money unfortunately, and even though i have a great relationship with them and am open about my mental health, i'm not sure they'd consider a private diagnosis 'worth it' unless i told them about the coke addiction and it being the reason i need the medication. i'm fairly sure they know i've tried hard drugs on nights out and are kinda on a 'don't ask, don't tell' basis with me. they're cool with weed but confessing to being a cokehead is going to cause far bigger issues than i can handle honestly.

thank you for the recommendation, i love reading about success stories/watching intervention because it kinda humbles me when i start thinking things can't get any worse kek it might sound bad but it's genuinely really good for putting things in perspective and motivating yourself to make those changes.

Ever since I was a child I've been afflicted with a horrible disease: collecting.
For as long as I can remember I've been addicted to buying and collecting things from toys to clothes. Right now my focus is clothes. I spend all day refreshing mercari and hopping through my list of sites over and over. It's so exhausting. Every time I make a purchase I tell myself "This is the last one," but it's never true. I see something I want and it's like a horrible itch on my brain that I can't scratch unless I buy it. I hate it so much. I've bought and resold thousands of things, I get rid of one collection just to spend the money on a new one. I literally do not know how to stop myself, because I'm constantly selling things so I'm always exposed to other things to buy on these sites. How do I stop this has been a vicious cycle for over 20 years for me.

I'm very concerned. I can feel this hard spot on my left breast just bit above my nipple, but can't quite tell if it's a lump or not. Yesterday it only hurt when I press down on it, but now it's a consistent dull pain in that area. When I touch the underside of my breasts and the outer sides it also hurts but they're still squishy and soft unlike that particular spot.

It's not period pain, but on my last period, which ended a week ago, my breasts hurt more than they ever have in the past, like a stinging stabbing pain. I cried all night last night because I'm afraid of the worst. My family has a history of cancer. What's making me panic now is when I came home from work I noticed a faint redness around my left nipple. I am so, so sad.

This is a thread for biologically born women who decided to transition or play a part in the gender scene at some point and since have decided to stop. This thread welcomes women who chose to take hormones, have surgeries done, crossdress as a man, live as a man (on the internet/irl), or simply once thought to transition and then refrained from it no matter how far/not far into the process you were. Women who self identified as nonbinary or similar can also join the discussion.

Talk about your journey from transition to detransition and how it is going for you now.

i can't believe i wasted so much of my life waiting to take hrt. i feel like "knowing" i was trans at the age of 13 and waiting until the big age of 24 to take hormones is sadder than if i just went on puberty blockers or some shit. i spent my entire adolescence and early adulthood absolutely loathing myself and assuming hrt would fix all of my shit. been off T for a little under a year now after finally realizing i wasted all of that time for nothing. the curse of being a lonely autistic tomboy as a kid lmao. good thing i never "passed" and never got any surgeries, i just have my voice to deal with post-t.

I hope you can find like minded people in real life nonna. Acceptance is a long road ahead but it’s honestly the only thing that truly sets you free. Once I detransitioned (and actually went to therapy and talked about my traumas) I started to feel better, in the real sense at least. I still struggle obviously but I can finally understand why I feel this way in a sense.
When I was trans (l started when I was 19 and stopped at 24 and yeah, I even got a mastectomy done too, which greatly affects me now ironically kek) I always felt like I had to somehow prove myself constantly, it was like chasing a goal after goal, I was never satisfied in a way although it also helped me escape in a sense.

Also what did you experience once you stopped? Did your friend group react in a particular way? I got sort of gray rocked by the people who I thought were my friends kek until they stopped talking to me all together.

No. 453307

>>453271
thank you. a pretty prolonged period of therapy as an adult (intensive outpatient/partial hospitalization) as well as getting my eating disorder treated is what made me realize being "trans" was never the issue.

in terms of how people around me reacted… well i pretty unceremoniously detransitioned. i haven't changed my appearance at all (i never really presented as super masc even while pretending to be a boy lol no super femme stuff but i just wear sweats and keep long hair) so my friends haven't really said anything. i just told them i'm going off T for personal reasons and moved on. the only person i really "came out" to is my partner. i can tell i'm being treated as nonbinary just because i think there was some expectation that detransitioning i'd be piling on makeup and wearing dresses and whatnot….

i'm sure if i ever actually voice why i detransitioned and my general criticisms with gendie stuff i would get the terf label slapped on me and very few people would still speak to me. i feel a little embarrassed i'm not ready to face that yet.

No. 453310

I have a theory that detransition is not often talked about and easily dismissed because detrans usually do it quietly and without making a public case, wanting to bury their troon mistake. Is this true?

If you're an online/otherwise prominent public person, you reduce your identity to that of an anti-trans activist if you make a big stink about it. You're not going to hear from the quieter, more typical kind of person because they'll be healing in private.

Thank you nonnie! Hmm, when I first started sewing I also had the problems of fabric getting caught, it usually happened because of any of the following:
-too short sewing allowance (I started using bigger allowance than needed and trimmed it down afterwards)
-too blunt or too thick needle (best to start a project with a new needle, also pick a thick needle for thick fabric and vice versa)
-incorrect threading (just rethrrading solved the issue)
As for the face embroidering, yes it's always by hand. I use a water soluble topping stabilizer / embroidery film whenever I'm embroidering on plush fabric with long fur, see picrel.
First, I place the transparent embroidery film on either a printed copy of my embroidery design or the digital image I drew on computer monitor/tablet and trace the design with a water or heat erasable pen. Then I place the embroidery film on top of the project fabric, making sure to align the drawing on the film with the fabric properly. Then I secure the fabrics together with basting stitch and start embroidering the face, first stitching along the design on the film using outline/stem stitch (backstitch for tiny parts) and then filling up the pattern with satin or long and short stitch.

Here are some links to purchase the film if you're unfamiliar with them:

your hand embroidery is incredible and almost indiscernible from machine embroidery! how do you manage to make the satin stitching look so smooth and flat?

Using the embroidery film helps a lot, since it then feels like I'm just emnrodering on a flat furless fabric. The film can be gently torn off after I'm done embroidering. As for the uniformity of the satin stitch, stitching the design outline and then filling it helps with making all the stitches the same length. Using single strands (most cotton embroidery floss had 6 strands twisted into groups, I take out only one) a longer time. Satin stitch also looks a bit weird if the area is big, so I use long and short stitch (the eye in picrel) for those parts.The rest of it is practice~

>Using single strands gives a neater result but takes a longer time
Bleh, typo

I’m obsessed with picrel. I’ve used tissue paper and printer paper as tear away stabilizers before, but I always hated the aftermath. I bought the wash away stuff and it’s such a joy in comparison. No tiny bits of paper to tear out of seams, no worries about accidental added bulk, no concerns about a papery mess in your washer.

I originally bought it to stabilize a stretch knit that would have extensive machine applique on it. Worked like a charm. I just used a scrap from that project to help me in finishing the edges of a patch I am making, also by machine satin stitch. It turned out so good compared to my tests without. It looks like I used an embroidery machine or serger for my patch’s edges it turned out so neat and tidy.
