>>113716I try to feel around it and I always feel like it's alright but then it still leaks, so I must just absolutely suck at this.
TSS is apparently caused by just air being inside the vagina where it shouldn't be, so cups don't help here at all.
No. 113721
>>113720Nah, maybe it’s the shape/size or your flow is too heavy and you’re not changing it enough? Doesn’t work for everyone.
Also, I think tss caused by bacteria growth. I only really hear about it because tampons made of certain fibres/anything left inside long enough encourages rapid growth.
People with burns and cuts can get it too.
Never heard of it being because of air in the vagina but considering how many things can and do go wrong, that’s probably a factor.
I boil mine every two days or so to be safe and don’t leave it in for longer than 8-10 hours.

>>113721>I only really hear about it because tampons made of certain fibres/anything left inside long enough encourages rapid growth. Yeah I think cotton is more bacteria-friendly than silicone. Plus, the string may be a source of bacteria as well.
I‘ve talked to a girl who almost died of sepsis from using the cup (and only had it in for like up to 7 hours) though, so I think neither of the methods that require you to insert anything into your vagina is really safe. The cup has less risks though. If handled correctly, that is.

TSS is rare and you guys should really not be as worried about it as you are. I posted a substantial rundown about TSS in a previous thread but I can't find it unfortunately so I'll rewrite it.
Basically there was a TSS "outbreak" (obviously it can't be spread from person to person, but in a short period of time there were many cases) in the late 70s and early 80s because of a new tampon brand called Rely, which were marketed as ultra-absorbent and could be kept in for hours and hours. Carboxymethylcellulose and polyester, which made them super absorbent, caused dryness in the vagina and lead to a higher possibility for ulcerations in the vagina upon removal. This, combined with the fact that they could be left in for an extended period of time, led to an abundance of cases of TSS.
Rely tampons were eventually taken off the market because of the extreme volume of TSS cases associated with them and they were found negligent in offering the product. Carboxymethylcellulose and polyester can no longer be used in tampons. The FDA now requires that tampons are regulated as medical devices, absorbencies are regulated, and pamphlets warning users about TSS are included in boxes. The rate of contracting TSS is now 1 in 100,000 - very low.
TL;DR: the chance that you will get TSS is very low and the reason that people think TSS is so widespread is because of FDA regulations stemming from super-absorbent Rely tampons in the late 70s.
No. 113732
>>113725I‘ve been using tampons for about 10 years now. I sometimes (but only like 5 times in all those years) had to leave it in for 8+ hours and nothing happened. Wouldn’t recommend trying it - at all - and avoid it as much as possible, but it’s supposed to show that it’s not happening as quickly as it sometimes seems.
Wash your hands before changing your tampon, use the smallest possible size and only leave it in for up to 6 hours and you should be fine.
Also: I noticed that in most stories (at least in the news etc) of people who (almost) died from TSS it’s also people that ignored unusual symptoms like fever, throwing up, etc. and thought they had the flu or similar. It’s mostly people that aren’t aware of TSS and its symptoms.
If you go see a doctor as soon as you show flu-like symptoms, get an unusual rash or similar, you’ll be fine. It’s not a death sentence.
It’s more likely you’ll catch the flu (which could also kill you), yet you won’t stop going outside or seeing people.

>>113721Bacteria can grow because of the air introduced into the vagina. No air, less growth. That was the problem with these super-absorbant tampons they had in the 70s or 80s as well. Here's an interesting article:
https://vitals.lifehacker.com/everything-you-think-you-know-about-toxic-shock-syndrom-1831047669
> “Menstrual blood can multiply Staph. aureus organisms from 1,000 to 10 billion,” he said. But in order for all that bacteria to result in TSS, “you just need something to turn on the toxin.”
>That something, Schlievert said, is air.
>Anytime a woman inserts a tampon—or anything else, like a menstrual cup or a diaphragm—she risks introducing oxygen into the normally anaerobic vagina. I quite like the cup actually, even if I have problems with it fitting (it doesn't overflow, just flows past it, my period isn't that strong) because it feels less intrusive than a tampon with the string etc. Maybe I'll go back to the cup and period panties on my next period. I unfortunately get skin irritations from actual pads.

I went ahead and bought some Japanese pads because they looked like they were really high quality and held a lot of blood. They were measured by centimeter too instead of being small, medium, large, XL which was awesome because more variety of sizes.
Well, I finally wore them. They suck. I seriously thought the pad was going to start to rip apart. I only wore it for about 6 or so hours. They were nowhere near the same quality like the generic ones I get from Walmart and Aldi. I could wear those practically all day and overnight.
I dunno maybe it's just this brand. I'm glad I got a package of them for only $1. I feel sorry for all the women with a heavy flow and this is all they have. Is there a better brand out there?

Vaginal health is such a nightmare. I felt like I had a UTI for 2+ years straight, and no one could tell me why and my tests kept coming back normal. After being shuffled around to different doctors that would just shrug their shoulders at me a urologist sent me to a physical therapist that dealt with women's issues. Turns out pelvic floor dysfunction was my issue (high tone to be specific, basically the physical therapist said "it feels like you're trying to break my finger" when examining me). All I've had to do is some minor stretching, and I almost instantly felt better. I have a set of dilators I'm slowly trying to use, but even just my fingers worked fine.
The fact that it was such a simple fix and it took years to figure out, even speaking to more than one gyno makes me so frustrated. Just feels like just when I think we have Women's Health figured out, something like this – something I had never even heard of in all of my years of trying to figure this out – was the problem. Took finding an ultra-specific specialist to say "pussy 2 tight gurl, you're basically permanently clenching"
idk, just wanted to throw it out there in case someone out there was experiencing something similar. pic related was exactly what I was feeling: desperately hoping for a positive uti result for years so I could just finally fix my issue with an antibiotic. ugh.

Here's what I learned.
1. I bleed way more than I thought.
The first time I entered in the cup it must've not unfolded properly. I couldn't tell cause my fingers wouldn't fit in with it as it was too deep. Anyways, I bled through a lot. Honestly the cup filled up too and was half full, so it did it's job despite the mess.
2. The recommended C-fold the instructions recommended hurts and is hard to enter.
I discovered the push method works much better. I attached the video for anyone interested.
3. It's such a pain to get out. If I can reach the cup to pinch it, then it's too low (and the stem sticks out).
If the cups too deep I can't reach it without yanking on it (feels like a vacuum cleaner attached to my cervix).
4. Despite everything, I am converted now. Tampons good bye, cups for life. When it's entered right - it's honestly perfect. I can't feel it. It stores so much blood and it doesn't smell. I don't have to change it as often and when I need to re-enter it, it's not impossibly dry. I'm excited I don't need to blow cash on tampons anymore (especially since I have a irregular every 2 week cycle). Also it's better for the environment. I can't believe the amount of waste we produce from tampons and sanitary products alone.

Period stuff. I never really got clots until a few years ago (I'm 27) and they are HUGE! Seriously, I just bled through a super tampon in 1-2 hours and when I pulled it out there was a gigantic clot that wrapped around the whole tampon. This happens every period and I sometimes have periods where I use 10-25 super tampons a day for 2 days (I'm serious. One period I bled through them in less than an hour for at least 8 hours straight).
It doesn't really hurt too bad, the worst part is I get bad mid back pain, which I tried looking up info on but it seems that women normally have low back pain. I don't have pain in my low back, only in my mid back. And I get bad digestive issues but I have IBS so I just thought the period made it extra bad.
I'm just getting worried because I was reading online and this is supposedly not normal. I read that on a normal period women only have 2-3 TABLESPOONS of blood for the entire period????? WTF? Even when I was a teenager I started using super tampons. And clots bigger than a quarter are also abnormal? I really am getting scared because my mom had to get a hysterectomy when she was 40ish because she had similar issues for years and ended up having her period for months straight, extremely heavy.
Should I go to my doctor? Or do you ladies think that I'm overreacting and Dr Google is just making it worse?
>>115031Don't shave that part totally. That's really the only way to avoid those nasty bumps. A bit of hair looks better than a bunch of pus filled boils on your mons. I don't use a razor on my VULVA or pubic area at all because of this, I trim it up with scissors or a trimmer. I only use a razor in the bikini area so that pubes aren't sticking out of my underwear. An easy way to thin out the hair on the mons is to shave with the hair instead of against it.
Also can we all as women stop referring to our entire genital region as our "vagina"? This shit is so annoying to me like…your vagina is a very specific part of your crotch and it is on THE INSIDE. Call it a pussy, cunt, vulva, lips…something! But don't call the outside area your vagina.

>>115031Truth be told anon, I haven't figured out the trick to banishing them completely either. What does work for me though, is using tiny bikini razors (pic related) and trimming first. Shave with the grain. I use coconut oil, but there are different options. After shaving I use something with alcohol to disinfect the open follicles and moisturize as well. It's not perfect but has helped.
I know it's "dangerous" but to be honest I just use hair removal cream and shave to touch up, it takes a while to grow back and I don't get ingrown hairs.
No matter what you choose for hair removal it's a lot easier to deal with if you trim first. And cleaning the area and the razor first probably helps prevent ingrown hairs.

-exfoliate the area first using a rough washcloth or shower brush
-use a new razor every time (or as close to new as possible. If I've used the razor more than 3x on other parts of my body I will use a new razor and shave my pubes first so they get the sharpest of the blade.)
-use shaving cream or conditioner every time
-swab the area with alcohol and a cotton ball immediately after exiting the shower.

On the topic of shaving: does anybody remember this cow named Asha?
I remember reading in one of her threads and somebody posted that she likely has some illness (can't remember the name) that makes it difficult for her hair to break through her skin and therefore her body was littered with ingrowns.
I fear that I have the same thing.
My armpits are fine, on my legs it's also still somewhat okay, but regarding my pubic her it's so bad, that I don't dare to shave it at all.
I'm "blessed" with being extremely hairy, so the hair on my inner thighs, around my crotch is also already very pube like and whenever I shave, 2 days later it's so itchy that I can barely keep from scratching in public and not a single hair breaks through. Like there's always at least 30 little pimples that contain a hair. Sometimes I can't pop them to free it and it turns into a nasty big bumb and scar.
I already tried so much: shaving cream, normal shaving, shaving foam, shaving gel, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, shaving dry; then afterwards different lotions, baby powder, toner, aloe gel,… I also tried whether to exfoliate before or afterwards, but nothing helps.
Maybe waxing would be better, but I'm too much of a chicken for that.

God, I haven't shaved in over a month and I keep getting ingrown hairs. Could their be another reason why? Or is it just from the random hairs that fall out?
It's only one or two at a time and usually only on the right side of my pubic area. Popping the ingrown hairs feels so weird, like there's a bit more pus still in there I'm not squeezing out, but it usually goes away a day or two after I get it to pop instead of get bigger.
Also I have a slightly itchy area where my clitoris is, the thing is I'm able to scrape some dead skin off every couple days. I happen to have psoriasis and my crotch used to be really itchy and flaky over 8 years ago, it slowly went away out of nowhere. I was wondering if that might be a reason why? My gyno has never said anything was wrong with how my pubic area looked.

since some anons are on the shaving topic: if u get razor bumps or ingrown hairs easily i have found that using peppermint oil before u shave is a good idea. just dont get it u kno… on ur actual vagina its hell.
i also like to mix a lil bit of shaving gel, water and soap while to use while i shave.
using aloe (like REAL plant aloe) on your coochie after shaving is really a life saver also.
>>115168fellow anon with psoriasis. i have to shave VERY often cuz of the ingrown hairs. it's prob flaring up cuz of sweat depending on the weather where u live. i have found also it's easier to tweeze out the ingrown hair (if possible) then pop it. not recommended when ur pubic hair is still super short tho.
buy some peppermint oil. apply it before u shave, wash it off in the shower and after you shave and wash it off with soap in the shower. repeat it a few times after u shave too.

I did not press charges because I didn't have time since I was in the process of moving, but also because I felt the police were downplaying what happened. I feel very guilty about it.
I also feel very discouraged to see a doctor. When I was assaulted he also forced oral on me (him performing it, not me), so I decided to get tested for stds while I was at the doctor. It was not covered by my insurance. I finally paid off the bills last night, almost $500 for the blood work alone. I have no faith in police or doctors at this point.

>>115546I have the same problem, anon. I started making my boyfriend wash his hands every time we fool around and it's helped a little bit. I haven't had a uti in a few weeks, I think the hand washing helps. That and I take two azos everyday. My doctor also suggested taking an antibiotic after each sexual encounter but that seems really overkill. What if we have sex daily or twice a day? That's a lot of crap to ingest.
You said you were fine with your other boyfriends, right? I was thinking maybe your bf isn't washing as well as you think he is. Also, this is obvious, but don't let him put his dick anywhere near your ass, not your asscrack, nothing. Just keep him away and if you have to try showering with him and see if he's doing a thorough job. One person I was with insisted he was cleaning, but when I watched him he merely rinsed his penis with water for like 2 seconds even though the rest of him was very clean and washed. You never know what's going on in there. Also make sure your bf's underwear are clean. That helped me as well as the obsessive hand washing.

My inner labia is probably less than a centimetre long I'm an innie. The only way that I've ever enjoyed masturbating is by rubbing my vulva through my panties. I stopped because I got anxious that maybe that's why I have any labia protruding at all. Once I found out a lot of girls including other virgins who have really long labia artist were in that way I realised that's retarded. My question I really need help with is I'm still scared to keep rubbing so is there any way that continuously rubbing my vulva really roughly and fast is going to lengthen my labia?? What do I search to find sources that can reassure me or inform me because I don't even know what to search take it any relevant information

If you don't have any period in a month, then you didn't ovulate.
I do know a a lady who had 3 children, and she has her period every 40 days. Might be related, she has very long pregnancy every time (nearly a month more than a normal pregnancy).

https://www.womansworld.com/posts/wear-panty-liners-every-day-129580] However, if you don't have any problems wearing them every day, then it is perfectly fine. It's best to stick to cotton liners without added scents, but again if what you use works for you that's what matters.
>>118315They stay in place unless I'm wearing very loose panties or synthetic panties. Normal cotton or modal panties keep them in place for running, sleeping, etc. One thing to make sure of is that the gusset in your panties is wide enough.

>let my razor sit in some isopropyl alcohol for a minute or so before shaving>always do it before going to bed so I can avoid wearing (tight) underwear (but if you have to wear some, use something light and made of cotton)>let the area air dry and use skin- and wound-friendly desinfectant afterwards>a little while after shaving I’ll use some hazelnut or coconut oil on the area>when it’s really hot I’ll use baby powder in my bikini area in the morning because I’ll tend to get irritations from sweat and friction there No. 120372
>>120364It's just tissue from your womb mixed with mucus and old blood. Trying to think how the best way to describe it is, is it sometimes like little blobs and gobbets and also a bit like viscous snot or phlegm, but brown? Does it spread out into a little brownish slime streak on the paper when wiping after going for a pee?
It's very normal anyway, this used to be what every breakthrough period I had while on the mini pill looked like (no bright red fresh blood at all) and now this stuff is what the end of my periods look like I'm off hormonal contraception. My personal theory is it's what older shed endometrial tissue looks like if it's been hanging around for a while and has had a chance to oxidize (go brown).

I get so distracted by this weird feeling in my feet. It's like that tingly, almost burn-y sensation you get when you first move your foot after it's been asleep. It's not pleasant or sexy to me– it just makes it hard to focus on masturbating.

Your vagina is fine, anon. Any guy who bitches about what your fucking junk looks like needs to be dumped asap.
Also, hemorrhoids are common and incurable. If it's not bleeding, painful, or obstructing anything, don't worry about it. I would advise against anal sex if you have hemorrhoids.

has anyone here ever passed a decidual cast before? it happened to me today for the first time and it was the most painful, traumatic moment of my life. i felt like i was birthing an egg sized thing, paired with the most intense period pain i have ever felt. it was followed about 10 mins later with a blood clot that was the size of my hand. now i'm still experiencing quite bad period pain but nowhere near what it was before getting that thing out. i've also had the heaviest flow that i've ever had (filling up a night time pad every couple of hours). am i going to die? i'm going to the drs tomorrow but the feeling of having to birth that thing out on the toilet was so freaky and painful. :(
No. 121905
>>121900I've shed parts of one, but not the whole entire thing in one go. I remember a lot of pain, different pain than usual (like, cervix-y? I'd hazard a guess as to it being what the beginning of contractions feels like tbh, it happens sometimes when I pass a really large clot, too), then freaking the fuck out when I went to the toilet to go sort myself out and finding whatever the fuck it was, lmao. A photo and a flurry of "holy fuck, am I dying???" texts to my mum later, she told me it was probably parts of a decidual cast.
I can't tell you whether increased flow/clots and pain is normal, because I have PCOS and ?endo/adeno, and super overnight pads on the hourly and bad pain is my usual, but you're probably not dying. It's a good idea to see your doctor though, just to get checked out, and to talk about it. It's absolutely really freaky, I empathise with you there.
If the pain and bleeding get appreciably worse I think you should consider more urgent medical attention, though. In the mean time, just look after yourself anon! Get a hot water bottle/other heating method of your choice, some painkillers, some chocolate, a cup of tea maybe? Do some of that good good self care.

No. 121922
>>121920hi i'm original anon that posted about birthing one of those things. google tells me it can come from the pill, pcos, endometriosis and cancer of the uterus. i'm not on the pill and not diagnosed with any of the latter but i have suspected i have pcos for some time as i have had issues with fluctuating weight in the past and i'm super hairy (on my chin and neck, sideburns and tummy. sometimes on my boobs too. lucky me!) i also have had period pains so bad before that i've been vomiting from the pain or almost fainted if i stood up too quick with them. i know there are other symptoms so i don't want to self diagnose, but i'm going to mention it to the doctor today so hopefully they can do tests or whatever to find out!
me and my boyfriend use condoms religiously right now as i have been avoiding the pill due to one making me really crazy for the couple of months i took it around a year ago, but i'm hoping to go back on it to make things easier. i was really freaked out though and genuinely thought i miscarried when it came out cos it just looked like a bloody lump of tissue, followed by really heavy blood and big, beefy clots. i really wouldn't wish the experience on anyone! i'm just worried this is going to be a regular occurence during my periods now and i don't think i could handle that pain again without heavy drugs and i try to avoid super strong pain meds due to addiction issues in the past. i still have cramps today so that's over 5 days of pain now (i usually just have pain on the first day of my period) so it is a little out of character, but my doctor is a super nice and understanding lady so hopefully i will get some answers and help today! sorry for the massive post, this has been a super weird experience as i don't have a lot of female friends to run these things by!

ugh, end me. I guess this is half vagina related, but my problem started there. I've been so ITCHY the last two days, but, like… it's migrating around my body? I thought it was excessive itch from my shaved pubes growing back in, but when I got a mirror, I saw two tiny white bumps on my labia. I thought they might be ingrown hairs, but I've since gotten individual itchy bumps on my lip (thought it was a cold sore), behind my ear lobe, on a knuckle, inside my other ear canal (??), and now I'm laying here in bed with an itchy was. What the fuuuuck. Google isn't helping me at all, either. Fortunately it seems like a specific area is only itching for a 24 hour period? But I don't have the money to go to the doctor. I just want the itching to stop.
No. 122325
>>122323You know, I was wondering if it was this. I won't discount it, but I'm not seeing any "trails" on my skin, plus my husband hasn't been dealing with any itchy bumps.
After sleeping on it, I'm wondering if I'm just dealing with an allergic rash. The bumps are reminiscent of the after effects of my last case of poison oak. Like, I got little bumps on my lip and genitals then, too, despite doing the appropriate cleaning at the first sign of poison oak. My body is stupidly sensitive that way. It just really wigs me out that this all started on my vag, you know?? I have no reason to have an std or something, but wtf

>>122325It can take several weeks to develop symptoms after having contact with someone infected.
But nonetheless, you should go see a doctor. No one here can really help you with it and there’s a ton of possible causes. It might be as little as stress induced hives, it might be dermatitis, it might be an allergic reaction, it might be scabies and the list goes on. it’s impossible to tell.

It gets better when you have regular sex with a good partner who spends enough time at foreplay.
If it still hurts a lot when he inserts, you're probably still dry and he's not doing a very good job "preparing" you

I did it last night and tried again this morning and its really freaking me out but I think freaking out about it might just be making it worse. I did try with a vibrator earlier and it got me relatively wet but unfortunately made no difference when it came to insertion. I don't think was originally making me any more tense than usual, I was excited to masturbate now my period was over, but now this whole issue is probably making me tense, I don't know how to get past that.
Also its a relief to hear that it could be related to the period itself as that makes sense with the timing.

>>123232I use washable cloth pads - have done for about 8 years I think now! they're great, I used to hate sticky sweaty plasticly pads.
the amount you need all depends on how heavy your flow is really. I have, I think, 6 but I alternate between pads and using a menstrual cup during my period. 3 of my 6 pads are technically liners too which are just for discharge and very light bleeding.
if you have a heavy flow you'll need more as you'll want to change them more often. you could buy a few more and see how long it is before you run out of clean ones and then buy more accordingly until you have enough to last through an average period. for some great info I would recommend checking out precious stars on youtube. that's where I started for info on RUMPS (reusable menstrual products) btw, welcome to the club!

No. 123533
>>123528if it legit smells (vs you just being insecure/not knowing how normal vaginas behave), go to gyno, it is probably bv. excessive discharge could also be due to bv or it could be you just produce more discharge naturally (most likely the case if the exact amount/texture varies throughout the cycle). otherwise maybe leave your vag alone for a bit so the pube situation can calm down,
do not use hair removal cream bc they are
really harsh chemicals and the thought of anyone putting them anywhere near their vagina honestly makes me shiver.
used that shit on my legs once and my skin got so fucked up and dry and went back to normal only in a week or so. and those are legs!try looking up "proper" shaving techniques but tbh i think it is all a meme/down to individual person's biology as I personally always end up with red bumps and ingrowns anyway, even on my legs. i recommend just keeping everything nicely trimmed (scissors or clippers), imo that's the most comfy colution and if you are so concerned about your (btw very normal) labia, a little amount of pubes will hide them a bit as opposed to a complete baldie look just making them more on display.

>>123546Sorry I don't understand the last sentence.. you mean if the answer is positive I should shave my pubes if he wants me to?
No. 123574
>>123568no, the opposite, if he either doesn't shave his own or thinks women with pubes are disgusting then leave the bush firmly on. 1st indicates hypocrisy and 2nd immaturity/porn sickness/inability to comprehend women are human too etc etc
do not have sex with anyone that makes you feel gross or anxious, it will only make you feel worse and create negative associations with sex, which will hurt you in the long run.

I've been using menstrual cups for years now but always feel I have to wear a thin cloth panyliner too. I've heard lots of women talk about how great it is to not get leaks but they never mention 'spotting' which I always get when using my cup which is why I wear the liner. I'm definitely using the cup right, making sure my cervix is inside, I think the spotting of blood is just what was already inside my vag inbetween removing of the cup. does any other cup users here get this?
follow up question, has anyone tried the underwear made for periods that is meant to soak up any blood (like thinx and modibodi)? if they're designed to do that then surely they could cope with a little spotting of blood as I'm using my pad. anyone have any experience with them?

>>124371Don't wash your vag with soap.If it smells weirdly or you think the colour is off, it's probably because you're fucking with it bacterial flora. Soap is highly alkaline, actually the highest you can get in a washing product! Your body's skin can take it, but neither can genital area and your face. Use products intended for vaginal wash ONLY and check for strong detergents; don't use anything with SLS, but something with Lauryl Glucoside and other gentle detergents you can Google. I know some countries don't have the variety of products to choose from, but you can always try to search for the best.
Also, for some other anons, it does not self-clean. That's a myth. You shame that one anon for asking yet you give wrong advice. Discharge doesn't magically disappear. Water isn't enough to clean all of it. Do you also wash your asshole with just water? The vulva is close enough for shit bacteria to spread, also you sometimes wipe carelessly maybe, you sweat, you sit whole day in your underwear. It's all there. You have to wash it with a product. It's skin like any other. You just don't use anything harsh and only wash external parts (sounds obvious, but believe me, not for everyone).
Don't shame people for asking. It's something that needs to be talked about more, and more openly.

>>124395>it does not self-clean. That's a myth.>Discharge doesn't magically disappear.Gosh you don't know what you're talking about here. The discharge IS the self-cleaning. Think of a self-cleaning litter box. Just because it's "self-cleaning" doesn't mean you won't ever come in contact with cat shit or you won't ever have to look at a litter box or ever touch one again. It just means it's gathering it all up and out for you in one location for convenience, and you don't have to stop what you're doing and clean it out yourself every single day. You just get rid the stuff that's been collected for you. Or even a self-cleaning oven – you still have to clean the soot out that the cleaning created when it's done. The discharge is like that.
>Water isn't enough to clean all of it.>You have to wash it with a product.This isn't true at all and everyone's vagina is different. For example, I have atopic dermatitis so I have to pay close attention to what I'm using on any of my skin, and even (dermatologist's orders) minimize soap use to only the most necessary areas such as armpits etc if it's flaring up. If I use any type of cleansing agent (even the ones specifically designed for vaginas or are for "sensitive skin") outside of water it all goes up in flames for me no matter what. But that's not the case for everyone. It doesn't smell bad and my discharge is normal just using water.
>Do you also wash your asshole with just water?>The vulva is close enough for shit bacteria to spreadNo, because they're completely different functions and asshole
isn't self cleaning. This is why people douche before anal sex. If you spread the shit bacteria to the vulva it's because you did wash your asshole properly, it's not because your vagina doesn't clean itself. It's not the vagina's job to clean your asshole. If your cat shits outside the self-cleaning litter box or pisses on the wall next to it, it's not the litter-box's fault it can't clean that up.

>>124298>>124280>>124292Guys, it's like that on the
inside of my vagina. There's no way that's caused by detergent. And masturbate and my finger comes out looking like there's a bunch of white lint on it. It's been like this for literal
years.
God I wish someone knew what the fuck is wrong with me. Mucus-y discharge is what it's supposed to be like, right? It's not supposed to ball up, right? That's my understanding.
>>124609Maybe it's just because it's four in the morning but this post made me laugh. Nice insights, anon.
Plus shit shouldn't be getting into your vag if you wipe front-to-back and don't wear thongs.
>>124614For real though, vaginal canals are self-cleaning (please don't douche) but
vulvas are not. Stuff gets stuck between the labia and causes smell and itchiness if left untended to, so definitely wash that area with
at least warm water and a washcloth.
Although does anyone masturbate in the shower just for the sake of cleaning and making sure everything's okay? Masturbating in the shower is how I discovered the issue I mentioned at the beginning of my post.

>>124823White lumpy discharge usually indicates an overgrowth of yeast but you say you've been tested and that's the first thing a doc looks for
The only similar thing I can say I experience is from having an enlarged clit (past testosterone use) under my hood needs to be cleaned every day or it gets little white clumps under it which I assume is a result of trapped dead skin cells? something similar to what men get when they don't clean under their foreskin

I've tried two types of pills and am currently using a spiral/IUD. When starting the pills I was always a hormonal mess (I cried watching Big hero 6, which I normally don't do etc) for the first month or so but I have not experienced the same with the IUD. I think I've read that IUD's release less hormones than the pills and that's why there's a difference.
Best of luck! <3

>>124870>Cytolytic vaginosis I'm curious about this. I haven't dealt with any vaginal issue since my tween years but this year it's been utter hell with me getting sick with some sorta coughing shit, getting a bodily rash that excluded my genital area, and now what seemed like a yeast infection that I took one of those one-day Diflucan pills for. It
seemed to help with discharge
but the skin on my labia never seemed to fully go back to normal. It's still sensitive, stings when I pee or wipe with the usual baby wipes I use (basically almost entirely made up of aloe vera with no fragrance). I haven't changed anything about how I treat my vagina but it's just been so sensitive and raw lately.
I did go on a beachy vacation and try tampons for the first time during it. I'd been a pad girl all my life and I wonder if tampons just totally messed my balance up.
Wow what a wall of fucking text about my mysterious new ailment.

Also there're a couple different types of bc pills that treat pcos, you should ask your doctor if the ones you're taking are not working for you.
And don't get too carried away by the rageboner people have for the pill. To some people it works wonders. In my case it got rid of my pcos period cramps, cleared my skin, and made my boobs grow a size up.
It does give me mood swings but i'll take that 1000 times over the misery pcos used to put me through. I used to pass out from the pain sometimes.

I got a cream that helped cystic acne on my chin/mouth area earlier this year but it looks like it's increasing again now so I might have to ask for it again. I'm still on one of the combination pills that have less risks and might hear with my doctor about trying a stronger one but I'm unsure. Anyone had experience with switching to a stronger pill?
I've been waiting a bit over half a year now to get a kinda big cyst operated away and still heard nothing from the hospital. Not always joyful to have free health care in that sense. I'm too scared to have penetrative sex atm in fear it'll burst.

No. 126383
>>126357It is mutilation, unless it's for medical reasons. You lose sensitivity, sex feels less pleasurable for both parties by decreasing friction (similar to how the foreskin works during sex), and there can even be reoccurring pain.
>>126356>>126368Just own up to it. There's nothing wrong with having bigger inner labia/discoloration. When women enter puberty the hormones cause color changes and inner labia growth in many women. If your concern is what men think, they don't care. Men are programmed to find a large variety of things attractive. The retards you see complaining about labia and breasts jerk off to porn and hentai all day. They aren't the kinds of men you'd be with in the first place, so who cares?
No. 126394
>>126383Seconded. It is completely mutilation. Just as any plastic surgery is.
Y’all anons with the big labia need to stop with the internalized misogyny. Lots of us are happy with our big labia as are lots of men, but also who FUCKING cares what men think? If they want a vagina w nothing extra then fine but yes typically all they do is watch porn and jerk off to smooth bright pink vaginas and bleached hairless assholes and that’s just not fucking reality.
No. 126396
>>126383Sorry, I meant larger labia themselves decrease friction and keep the natural lubrication from drying out. No labia/no foreskin both cause more friction and drying, which can cause discomfort and pain for both parties.

I hope this isn't race baiting or whatever, just sharing my experience, but I'm a darker skinned woman with no hope of being born with an 'attractive' neat pink vag like some white women and it'll spiral into a source of dysphoria if I don't mentally squash it. Like even if I get it shortened, it's not pink, if I wanted to bleach it, that's probably not even possible on top of being dangerous and expensive. It's easier and free to change my mindset about a body part I shouldn't be judged for anyway. It's still upsetting to read what you guys think about genitalia that look like that and I feel sorry you feel the same embarrassment as I did when I was
>>126342 this young.
Admittedly I think men's genitalia looks awful most of the time and their darker ball/dick skin looks like dirt but I remember that it's just skin (that's gonna be clean before it touches me) and sure as hell no man is going to wax and bleach his nuts just for me so why should I do it for them?
>>126348I'm not bothered about 'roast beef' comments because I've only ever looked forward to a good roast beef. I fucking hate the word 'loose' as if you can tell how it feels just by looking at it, people seriously need sex ed and to use their brains more than ever as labia minora have no indication of 'experience'.

Would you call my labia loose and nasty and ugly to my face?” They usually don’t bc they’re so stupid that they think nobody really looks like that except old whores. And then they apologize.

When people try to say that large labia is ugly I just counter them with I think its beautiful and looks like flowers. Pretty pussy petals.

Once on a another image board two anons were fighting "innie vs outie" and being particularly cruel and disgusting about how they talked about womens genitals. They turned out to be both women.

>>126584These are normal, they're pretty common, and literally no one will even look at them. Your future partner (male of female) will either have them too or at least seen them before.
In the case of men, aside from fordyce spots on their dick or balls, they can also have pearly penile papules that are even uglier but equally harmless. So even if your partner isn't female they will probably relate.
So really, don't worry about it. This is such a virgin worry that it's almost endearing.

Who here uses menstrual cups? has it ever leaked while you were asleep? I toss and turn around a lot and I'm worried about that.
Do you need to buy one of the specific menstrual cup washes and use those daily or can I just rinse it in between wears and boil it after use?
Also, does anyone else have a menstrual cup microwave sterilizer like in the pic? Do those work well?
No. 126842
>>126693It will leak only if it is full; I've never had a problem with movement with any model I've tried. You should probably wash it, though any sort of mild soap without oil, scent, antibacterial ingredients, or abrasive additives should be fine. I use the specific washes just to keep scents from accumulating, but it's not necessary. Rinsing under cold water before washing is a good way to minimize staining. I've used those collapsible sterilizers before and I found they hang onto scent even when dried immediately, and also tend to overflow if you fill them enough to cover the cup. If you don't want to just use an old mug that you've designated for the purpose, you could try using those pump/bottle part microwave steam bags.

i think some people are more predisposed to getting thrush at a drop of a hat (me) to the point of getting it from more scented shower gels trickling down (me). If you do end up getting thrush, i recommend oral tablets over vaginal pessaries by a mile, the creams are kinda naff too.

I used to have leakage and really bad chafing (in part because of the wet material) until I switched to washable fabric pads, wouldn't go back if you paid me.

Also, how do you know what absorbency and length to get? I have pretty heavy periods (like super plus tampons every few hours) the first few days, so how do I figure out what size I need in cloth pads?

>>129750really hard to say, getting it checked out was the right call. the only thing I would recommend is getting a pap smear if you haven't had one recently, and checking your labia for any abnormal swelling, discoloration, or any other changes.
if the pain continues I'd get a follow up exam done as well.

>>129769The ones have are the same ones in the pic above. Teamoy brand from amazon. It was $15 for 5 I think, but they make a variety pack that's $23 with diffrent sizes.
They're pretty good, def more comfrtable than dispaoble ones. The fabric on the front is kind of like fleece and the outside is a waterproof which is nice. The only problems I can see are if you sweat really easily you may get hot in these, and they sometimes shift around when you're moving a lot (can be fixed by pining them down with extra pins)
Again, I can only speak for myself, but I haven't found any issues with the smallest sized ones, then again I don't have as heavy bleeding as some. I think it'd probably be really hard to bleed through one unless you were shifting around a lot, as it seeps into the fabric instead of sitting on top of it like normal pads.
As for washing, I genrally let them soak in a bucket with soap and water or rinse them in the shower with me and then throw them in the wash with my underwear.
No. 129801
>>129769I love cloth pads and prefer them to disposable ones. I'd never go back.
They feel better than the regular ones because they're softer and more breathable. I don't get sweaty or chafe anywhere with the cloth ones. Because it's fabric and doesn't have that plasticy feel, a lot of the moisture seems to disappear. One big bonus for me is that you don't get that "omg a waterfall" feeling when you stand up after a while, sneeze or cough. It gets absorbed very quickly. I never get the wet feeling with them and they actually feel less gross to me than regular pads.
I have exceptionally heavy periods to the point where I'm on medication to prevent blood loss when on my period. With the regular pads, I'd change it every hour or two and my underwear would always find a way to get stained, flood or leak. The cloth ones hold out for longer and I can do a whole day at work without feeling like it needs changing or feeling gross or icky. I change them every few hours but that's really more out of habit and just to be safe than actual necessity. They seem to channel the blood better. When I remove the cloth ones, they're not dripping and all the blood seems to have found its way to the middle of the pad instead of ending up all over the wings and every other part. Like
>>129797 said, the blood doesn't sit on top like a regular pad.
The biggest downside for me is that they can shift a little because mine are only held on with a single press stud, but I change what style of underwear I wear and that fixes the issue.
I got night time ones because I honestly thought my period would be waaaay too much for the regular ones but they've been perfect. They're not as bulky as you might think. I'd say mine are about the thickness of a regular pad but floppier because they don't have stiff plastic so they don't show through really. If you're wearing something really tight or the fabric is thin, they can be easily hidden with a pair of boyshorts or something.

I also time my changes so that I don't have to do it at work as much (change right before I go, once in the afternoon, once when I get home) but my flow isn't that heavy so there's that.

>>129826When you buy a set, they usually come with a bag to put them in. Mine also fold up and close with their press stud so they're just in a little square, which makes them pretty easy to hide. With the way they fold and the plastic-lined wet bag, any moisture and scent is easily hidden.
Tbh though I think they could probably survive a shift at work if you were really against changing them in public. TMI and kinda gross but I lasted a 12 hour hospital shift when I'd forgotten to bring an extra pad and was struggling to find time for a break. There was no leakage and the fabric and lack of plastic means that the blood doesn't really pool in the pad. It gets soaked up so you still feel relatively dry.

I'm a virgin, I masturbate, but my hymen was never one to "pop". I think it's the kind that is open and just stretches.
Maybe this belongs more to the Masturbation thread, but let's say I could have some sex soon perhaps maybe, and I don't want it to be too awkward.
So I can put two fingers in just fine, immediately when aroused. But with 3 fingers it gets weird. I feel like my vag opening is like a tight thick rubber-band around my fingers, and when I push the fingers in more, the band goes in too. This is weird and uncomfortable. Like, the skin gets pushed in. It kinda follows my fingers, it's painful. Doesn't happen with just 2 fingers though, but I wanted to stretch a bit to avoid penis-caused pain. It's not like I'm not wet/aroused enough. So, is this normal? I mean, I know it is. But I don't know, is it going to be like this always? Is my vagina build like this, is it hymen after all, or will I stretch? IF the opening stretches, then does it get so uncomfortably tight again after not having regular sex? Or does it stay stretched?
Sorry if those questions sound retarded. I'm an anxious person and I like to be prepared and know the situation the best I can beforehand, so I don't get sabotaged by fear

I didn't have too many symptoms from it. Some cramping randomly outside my period sometimes.
No. 132546
>>129719similar here, although my period used to be really fucking irregular since mid puberty, started to finally get regular (every two months) in my mid twenties… let me tell you this from my own experience (I bothered doctors a lot about this):
different doctors will propably tell you the same if you don’t have any other issues.
if they do come every two months in a rythm it’s not really irregular. some women react more sensitive to stress, nutrition, hormone changes through aging and whatnot, and having a slower period rythm is not that uncommon or neccessarily bad so just do your checkups and try not to worry too much about it, it will only raise your stress levels which can lead to futher irritation and delay in sensitive bodies.
If you are worried about your fertility you can test it. but really, don’t panic.
I understand that you’re sacred since it is a recent change, but having the period only every 2 months has it’s benefits and it’s totally possible for it to change again.

>>113718I'm a virgin and I use pads for my periods. I wanted to switch to menstrual cups for years (therefore I've done my homework and I know all I need to know regarding them) but put it on hold because I was a virgin, finally came to the conclusion that I'm not losing my virginity any time soon plus pads have been giving me all types of irritations and skin rashes so I bit the bullet and bought a menstrual cup, I did a test run the first time I put it in it was relatively easy but when I took it out after about an hour I started bleeding, alright guess my vaginal opening is stretched now so I tried again the next day, it's harder I couldn't even insert the whole thing so I took it out after successfully inserting it half way after many errors, the cup and my fingers were covered in blood, I bled again, fair enough it is still healing so I waited a few minutes then tried again… I spent a little over an hour failing to insert it fully, it either unfolds half way and doesn't get it from the start and each time I try it gets progressively more painful and the bleeding never stopped so I gave it a break, this was last night and today I woke up feeling slight pain in my vagina and I'm so devastated, I want to switch to cups, and my vagina is in fact getting a little stretchier every time (I can insert my finger without spending a whole minute now) but I also started feeling shame because of all the things we hear about losing the hymn even though I know that they're incorrect and hymns are elastic but having your toilet water red and washing blood off your cup, fingers, and panties for an hour makes you wonder if you're doing the right thing.
also, am I doing anything wrong? like I said I've done my research and from my point of view I have less elastic vaginal muscles that need to be trained but the blood makes me worry.

>>134130Okay, despite the "short girls have smaller vaginas" that sounds sus af, I'm going to answer genuinely because I've been a tool about vaginas too.
I'm a virgin and my road to being comfortable with cup was: using tampons, masturbating with one finger, two fingers, using the cup. And still the few first insertions were not easy, just to be clear. It needed some practice.
So my advice would be prepare yourself, stretch. Don't insert the cup by force, that's why you get friction and blood. If you can't fit it in, you need to be more stretched and relaxed. Try masturbating vaginally. If that's not your thing, just use your fingers to stretch, but be gentle.

For the past couple of years I've been dealing with vaginal and vulvar dryness. It seems to get bad 2 weeks before my period, where I feel like I develop small tears on my vulva, mostly around my inner labia. I don't see anything really except some redness, but it hurts to wash myself in the shower. I don't even think about masturbating around this time.
I've been tested for everything, am not having sex right now, shower every day using just water, use sensitive laundry detergent, and wear cotton underwear so I don't know what it would be. My doctor wanted to give me estrogen cream but I was wondering if there was anything a little milder that could help.

And the thing about the UTI is that I have always been a person that just pees too often and a lot… so I don't know if I am having anything extra.
>>134670I read the symptoms online and they just sound so similar that I don't even know anymore. For sure I am not letting that jerk near me though.
I personally don't smell anything out of the ordinary. There is a smell, but it's not "horridly gross that there is definitely something wrong here" kind of smell. Then the other thing is, I don't always have a working sense of smell for some reason, so I am afraid that I am maybe missing something.
>>134704I am trying to remember, and I do think he touched his dick before me.. But the discharge I have now is less "green" than the one from last time though. I went to Planned Parenthood with the intention to test for the trich the first time actually because my pantyliner was very green at first. When I got there, since I don't have insurance, they said I should be examined instead before testing since it could end up costing more. The gyno examined me and said there was no sign of green discharge (even though my liner was still slightly yellow/green by then).
>>134707Okay this is what I am also thinking. Can I go and buy some over the counter BV medicine for it? Who do I have to go to to see why my ph is off? Yes, I am sensitive and it sucks so much.

>>134732The first time I tried to have sex literally every single part of my body seized up, like my hands literally became claws and I couldn't even be fingered, and within seven months I was able to finally do penetration! In those 7 months I had 3 different partners so I think that had something to do with it, with every different guy I got a little bit further and felt more comfortable with myself.
A big thing for me was becoming more comfortable with sex, so I'd try to think about sex without having my legs immediately clamp together, I don't know if you have that "external" response like I did or not. Another thing that really helped me was gently masturbating with a warm, wet washcloth in the shower– by taking away any type of physical pain, I was able to relax my pelvic + uterine muscles a little bit more each time.I'd recommend trying to starfish more when you masturbate to try and just keep all your muscles relaxed, as well as being open with any partners cause the shame letting them down made my anxiety worse in my opinion. I really think one of the most important things is not being mad at yourself about it.
Good luck anon! I promise its something you should be able to get over yourself in time, but if it takes longer than a year or so I'd recommend seeing a professional or talking to your gyno about it! Also, do you have a history of sexual abuse? I didn't, but if you do, it might be helpful to work through that with a professional first, and the rest might follow. I know its so hard because it really is all in your head but you can do it!

I've come to terms with the fact I'll probably seek labiaplasty at some point in my life. I have a really cute little clit so I feel like my vag would be so pretty if it wasn't for the brown tipped floppy outer labia that gets tangled up in each other and chafes in my underwear.
My bf doesn't mind and would probably be horrified but like I can't enjoy him going down on me or having his face anywhere near cause I don't want him to see it. It's just so bad for my self esteem and ability to feel sexy at all.

Idk about other places but in my country you don't get pap smears or std tests for no special reason, you'd have to ask for it and it costs a lot, and I'm not sure many people actually get checked regularly and since you don't show symptoms most of the time until it's too late and there's damage done to your organs… It just seems very risky to be so loose unless you can afford to get std tests and treatment after every partner or avoid every type of contact without condoms which is harder than you might think

Some girls go earlier, usually if they have issues with their periods/infections or is they're sexually active. My younger sister is 18 now and she's too scared to go and it's impossible to convince her to do it.
Best thing that I can tell you is that gynecologists don't care what you look like or who you are, this is their job and they see thousands of vaginas so there's nothing to feel nervous about.

>>137608>>137622I think that for some reason a lot of people here confuse the terms "vagina" and "vulva", imo you should definitely use a gentle cleanser on your vulva.
>>137620Intimate cleansers are usually neutral in ph (so the same ph as water) my cleanser is ph 3,5 (slightly more acidic than the vulva) which I find is even gentler than neutral because it actually helps you restore and maintain the acid mantle of the skin.
No. 137653
>>137622Do you not understand that water from the outside can very easily get on the inside especially when you don't have a small baby-like vegene but a gaping open one?

No. 137786
>>137734Not that anon but I literally got my intimate cleanser prescribed by my gynecologist, ph is 3,5; it's sulfate free and fragrance free. Far from disturbing your ph it helps keep your vulva at the right acidity.
Water is very alkaline compared to the vulva so I guess it has some cleansing qualities, it still doesn't dissolve oily residue though, and also I'd rather replenish some acidity with the right cleanser than give my vulva such an alkaline wash with nothing else.
As I said water does have some cleansing qualities due to being so much more alkaline than the vulva, but the thought of someone out there having sex and having their period and never washing off any of that gunk out of their vulva doesn't feel right. You do you tho.
But you guys do realize that you can happily and safely wash your vulva as long as you use the right products right? So stop denying that because you're wrong…
No. 137787
>>137734Also this is just stupid, do you use the same soap for your dishes and for your face? Do you even use the same soap for your body and your face? I sure hope not. You body can stand a harsher cheaper soap full of fragrance and sulfates, but you probably use an gentle cleanser for your face according to your skin type. I know that if I use generic bar soap on my face I break out like crazy.
Your vulva has a different ph and sensitivity than the rest of your body, so why wouldn't it require a different formula?
Are there bad "intimate" products out there trying to scam you with a bunch of sulfates and fragrance? Yes, but that applies to any kind of product, hopefully you ask your dermatologist and gynecologist or at least you read the ingredients before you buy.

I mean I date women and have never seen separate intimate soap in any bathrooms.

No. 138015
>>137955I'm the anon you're replying to. I'm not a good reference for costs because in my country prescription formulas or generic medical brand formulas tend to be pretty cheap. These costs anywhere from $1 to like $4 here. Cosmetic brands can be more expensive and not as good imo.
I don't think intimate health and hygiene is like those society standards, by taking extra care of my hygiene I end up saving money on appointments and medicines imo. I'm supposed to be prone to yeast infections and UTI (because I'm on the pill for pcos and one of the side effects is increased risk), but I've never had any of those, and I do believe it's because I take good care of myself.
Also I don't like when people underestimate women's hability to make decisions, I don't think I'm being "manipulated by society", because I have the knowledge to decide what is best for my health, and I don't think the way males go about life is better than the way I do it. Can't compare a penis with a vagina anyway because you've got to be pretty goddamn gross to get a penis infection, as opposed to the vagina that is much more delicate and can get infected pretty easily.

Well, I am certain I have adhesions. If you're disgusted please do not read further. Here is an academic article on the subject.
https://www.smoa.jsexmed.org/article/S2050-1161(18)30025-4/fulltextI am posting about this in the off chance it may help another girl out there. I positioned myself in front of a makeup mirror with a flashlight and thoroughly inspected my clitoral hood. My actual clit is quite hidden and the area surrounding it seemed a bit swollen, which would make sense if there's stuff in there. When I shine a bright light in it, I see the faintest indication of whiteness so I assume that's the problem right there. I gently added pressure and pulled on the sides of the hood and I felt some strange slightly stingy sensation. Some part of me knew I was moving that area in a way it hasn't been moved, and although it felt weird I know it was a good thing. I am certain there's some stuff in there but I won't mess around and risk harming myself. I would rather leave it to a professional, but at bare minimum I am going to inspect the hood and move it around every few days.
I will say this. For years I silently thought my clit was broken. Even though it worked, I couldn't see it and it kind of hurt sometimes, depending on the angle and how it was being touched. Part of me convinced myself I was fine and it was just part of growing up, so I avoided looking at it for years and continued on. Sometimes I had a sensation like something was in there so I'd wash the area in the shower without looking closely. Nobody taught me to pull back the hood daily or anything, so I didn't realize it could lead to something like this. I really wish I had some formal education on this kind of stuff. Even though there's resources online, I can sadly say I failed to take in what is needed for female hygiene. I was never told about this by my mom, any gynocologist, any doctor, or any health teacher in my life. Feel free to look at me with disgust but if there's anyone who related to this, maybe consider mentioning it to your gyno. If there's interest I will update after the appointment.

>>138332I feel weird because my clit isn't covered by the hood. It's visible even when I'm not aroused. I touch it directly because there isn't enough hood tissue to cover even if I push it. It's not like my clitoris is unusually large or anything. I just don't have much of a hood.
That said, I don't often directly touch my clitoris while masturbating. It's a little too overwhelming for me. I prefer to stimulate it indirectly by pressing on it from within the vagina (the "g spot" is actually just the part of the vaginal canal closest to the internal structure of the clitoris.) I can't touch my clitoris for very long without losing coordination and feeling weak.

My inner labia is quite large and long, a proper roast beef sandwich if you will, and it doesn't get very good blood circulation and is often colder than the rest of my body. It definitely sticks out and is visible even when I'm wearing underwear or a swimsuit. I don't really mind that much, but the problem is that sometimes it hurts. My labia might get trapped between my thigh and the hem of my panties which causes me extreme discomfort and even pain, and when I'm in public there isn't really an easy way to fix it without excusing myself. It will sometimes also get quite dry, or when I use the bathroom, trap bits of toilet paper in my folds, which is very annoying to deal with and clean out. Again, reiterating that my labia often causes me pain. Is there any way I could have it surgically removed? Would insurance cover it or would it be considered a cosmetic surgery? Where would I even start to get something like this done? And most importantly, are problems like this normal for girls with larger inner labias?

The good news is I am barely ever seen in clothing thin enough for the bulge it creates to be noticeable. Fuck bikinis, honestly.
Fortunately, for all the fuss most men make about those yucky roast beef sandwiches, I think when it really comes down to it, most of them are just happy they're getting laid. I'm not gay but I bet other women care even less. And to the men who do care what a pussy looks like? They ain't worth it.

>>139030it's possible you just can't wear tampons comfortably.
prior to losing my virginity, the perforation in my hymen was very small and the hymen it self was highly rigid. i found fingers and tampons very painful, if not impossible, to insert. even after i had sex with a man for the first time, it wasn't until around the third or fourth time that i felt something "pop," and could comfortably have sex. prior to that, i had always used a copious amount of lube, and i think that resulted in a temporary stretching of the opening instead of an actual, permanent tear.
even so, if i go a very long time without vaginal insertion, it's uncomfortable and i've just resigned to the fact that i have a narrow vagina (gyn's words). i think i may have some form of vagisimus as well, so perhaps you do, too, in addition to a particularly sturdy hymen.
No. 139043
>>139038so it hurts from a tampon and a finger but not a diallator? assuming you use lube on it, please consider lubing your vagina slightly, and inserting one again. do not use it, just try to leave it in there for 5 mins and see if it hurts. sounds like you may not have enough space or moisture for a regular tampon. try ultra small ones, the lube experiment, or make sure you are already bleeding a bit before inserting. that helps me personally a lot.
also if that won't work and you are certain of no yeast infection, you're doomed to pads

Hello ladies! Has anyone had reallt short and light periods atypical of your regular periods?
For context, my periods have always been regular, long (~7 days), and slightly heavy in the first few days ever since I started my periods. Last Tuesday/Wed, I had some light bleeding which I wrote off as spotting but it kept coming out until yesterday/today. This weirds me out since I've always been super regular. I also don't take BC, have no hormonal imbalances that I know of, and am definitely not pregnant. The only thing that I can think of is that I started taking daily vitamins, iron, and MSM. What could be the cause? I also noticed that I still have the swollen, pre-period boobs and thicker thighs/butt. Other than that, my weight seems to be constant, judging by how my clothes fit.
Thanks in advance!

If your mum will allow it, now would be a good time to start doing your own laundry. You should also know you that if you sleep in pajama pants without underwear that the best practice is to wear a fresh pair or pants each night. It is more laundry, but if it saves you the embarrassment it might be worth it until you are in a situation to do your own laundry. If you have your own room you could also sleep without anything on your bottom half, and just keep pants near the door for when you have to leave your room.
sleeping naked when your not used to it is hard. It took me a few months to fully get over it, but after the first week or two it should be alright.

i've done a little surface level research on vaginismus - is there varying levels of severity? because I usually don't have any trouble penetrating myself, like i can insert menstrual cups and tampons just fine and I've been sexually active for a while. so then I'm not really sure if it could be vaginismus or if i just have like a weird small pussy

>>141316okay anon, i just don't see it and have no vested interest in discouraging you from a good man, i don't know you, but really i do not see this man who complains first and foremost about the clear issue with pain you're having with your vagina as "it hurts man" and we need to have a "legitimate talk" about it but I will absolutely drop it.
To be honest, I don't know a lot about it, however this is getting interesting? I've never heard of being able to penetrate yourself just fine and have sex with other people but she clams up for this one? I know it seems like i'm obsessed with you letting him go but listen to her kek. Hopefully vaginismanons can help you but it doesn't sound like it. Does he just have a can of cider for a dick? You've mentioned being sexually active before so I'm struggling to see if this mightn't be a him problem or just a genuine incompatibility. Maybe the hole is smol. Leave it alone, don't try and risk a tear for 18:29 guy

>>141318he's nothing super serious, just a dweeb who's particularly well-endowed. pls i don't wanna derail the vaginal health thread
but in his most eloquent words "it feels like you're trying to squeeze the shit out of my dick like it's a lemon"
and it doesn't feel too nice on my end either… i'm kind of inclined to believe that it's not vaginismus and rather just me being naturally small. but if that's the case, i'm not even sure if trying to dilate it and whatever could help

>>141316Nta but yeah with vaginismus there are different types and levels of severity. For example there's primary vaginismus (that's when sex has always been painful for the woman) and secondary (if you didn't have vaginismus in the past but suddenly start experiencing it).
You can also have vaginismus that acts up in certain situations, like for me I have no problem fingering myself with up to four fingers (although I find it distracting and uncomfortable but definitely not painful nor difficult to insert). But irl dick is what's difficult for me.
It also depends on the person and not on the size for me, there's people I swear I'm very attracted to but when it comes to having sex I just can't get it in, regardless of size.
Maybe try to go to a gynecologist, they'll be able to tell what the issue is. For years I though there was something wrong with my vagina until the gynecologist reassured me after all the exams that it's perfectly fine and healthy, that it's not crooked, not closed nor small, it's just that the muscles tense up.
The reassurance that my body is normal and not broken made it easier to get dicks in, believe it or not.

I can never wear tampons comfortably. I usually wear pads with no problem, but every once in a while, I try to wear a tampon (pic related is the brand I use), but it's so uncomfortable that I end up taking it out after less than an hour. I was supposed to go to the pool today, but I'm on my period so I decided to give tampons another chance. It took forever to go in. It was painful while it was going in. It was uncomfortable the entire time it was in. And it was painful when I finally pulled it out. What can I do to remedy this, anons?

this is SUPER tmi but this is a thread on vaginas so here we go.
I do not understand what is going on with my anatomy. What feels like my clit is UNDER the only opening I can see, which I assume to be the clitoral hood (?) but it's not much of a hood, more like a tiny opening. As such, I can't even see it until I'm in there really inspecting shit. During my inspection, I discover that smegma must build up in this tiny opening, even though I wash myself thoroughly every time I take a shower. Ok, no biggie. Let's clean it out. MISTAKE.
Trying to get in there hurts like a motherfucker. I've just spent 30 minutes trying my best to remove the contents (its small so whats there is only a tiny amount but still) and not only will it not come out but I literally wind up crying from the pain. I thought maybe if I could get some water in there, that could help soften things up/clear things out, so I took a wet cloth, widened the mystery opening as best i could, and let a drop of water fall in. Nearly passed out it hurt so bad and had to give up.
Feel like an idiot to be a fully grown adult and still not know wtf is going on with this.

>>141970First off, I'm like this too, I have little to no visible clit, no hood or nothing just this tiny little nub + a small tiny hole above it. I haven't been to a gyno, which I plan to but from my educated guesses it's just formed smaller than usually or not completely. Simple as that. That being said, vaginas/clits come in all different shapes and sizes.
STOP MESSING WITH IT, you could seriously infect it.

so. I've been trying to cure myself from vaginismus for a few months now and I can finally penetrate myself with my fingers in a post-orgasm, relaxed state (I can fit 3 in relatively painlessly). My problem is that I'm still unable to use toys, even the thinnest and smallest ones…they just hurt and I can't fit them very deeply. I don't know what the next step should be
I also noticed that I clench my muscles during the day too, while doing everyday things, which probably doesn't help and I always have to remind myself to relax

>>142743Did you try using a set of dilators? For me they did a miracle. The smallest one will be the size of your finger and they size up from there.

This is how the hole looks in my vagina. Am I loose or something?
No. 143204
>>143201Thank you.
I want to add that I didn't look at my vagina for literally years because last time I checked it was ugly as hell. But after I reading that thread I had to look because I was scared I got smegma under my hood. Turns out my vagina is beautiful.

>>143232A regular vaginal yeast infection is white. If your discharge is any other colour (ie. yellow), it's more likely bacterial.
Emigrate to a less shitty country and go see a gyno there.

How do I get my panties to stop smelling like vaginal odours when I put them on? I don't like the fact that ,whenever I put them on, they Inevitably smell disgusting
No. 143493
>>143488How do you try? Fingers? Toy? Do you immediately feel pain or is there a part of stretching/inserting that isn't painful? If there is, work on that. Small steps, but push through. The pain may be sudden and a bit scary, but you have the power here. You can stop anytime, there's no rush - find the comfort you need in control.
blogpost that may be helpful - for me, at first it felt like there was no vaginal opening whatsoever. Even the tip of my finger was painful. I found out I can fit a finger after a clit stimulation orgasm. You're fully relaxed and wet then. After one finger the pain was pretty much gone, second finger was only uncomfortable. Next step was a vibe, which was more challenging but doable. After that, I was a comfortably stretched virgin lol. Good luck
No. 143525
>>143492Yes there is a reason, I always have had an issue with penetration and it took me a few years to be able to finally insert 1 finger comfortably. My boyfriend's size is an issue. I feel like if I do it myself and explore myself I'll have a much nicer time.
>>143493I feel like we have the same story! I've been trying with both tbh, I have a smaller toy and I find it difficult to do 2 fingers because it feels uncomfortable. I think I feel more stretching with a toy (maybe it's just pushing on the hymen) than 2 fingers as the second finger feels like it can't get in at all. I'm going to try two fingers and take it much slower and hope I get there. Thank you so much anon!

>>143498I never had smegma til I went through a trans phase, took male hormones for a year and got clitoral growth from that. After that I started noticing it under my clitoral hood. I wouldn't feel comfortable say getting oral if I hadn't fully washed under my hood that same day. I never even knew women got a white build up before that.
I still don't get it between my labia but I guess where it builds up just depends on individual anatomy and where you do or don't have folds.
No. 143587
>>143498Huh, I went to this thread specifically to ask this question. I just get a tiny bit of white stuff around my clit but not between my actual labia. Was wondering if it was some kind of discharge or just tiny bits of toilet paper left behind.
I'm now pretty sure that it's the latter.
>>143573Do you just insert it or actually move it around/ make penetrating motions with it? It's pretty normal to not feel much just from having something in there, it's the movement (and rubbing near the clit) that does it for me. Maybe try something bigger, thicker rather than longer, if that doesn't work.
Plenty of women just aren't really into vaginal penetration to get off though, it's nothing to worry about.

They told me that this would NEVER happen what the fuck
No. 144752
>>144722Nop I'm literally a virgin. Even inserting/removing the cup is slightly painful. It might just be a shitty cup (got it for free at my GP) and/or that I was on a particularly heavy flow that day which may have compromised the seal, if I had to guess?
>>144681Just a normal toilet pan.
>>144671Appreciate your sympathy.

No. 144770
>>144757I don't use cups but I can't even shit properly while my tampon is still in. It sucks when I just put in a new one and I have to take a shit because I'll just have to take it out and replace it anyway.
When I try with a tampon still in there, it feels like it's blocking something. I can't really push without the tampon also getting sorta pushed out anyway.

ok ok so it's not unmistakable what I feared my symptoms were! and some of them already went down! I have to wait for the doctor's opinion. still terrified to death but it's something

I masturbate almost everyday by humping my bed, and I've found that the way I feel now is less intense/good feeling compared to years ago. Should I stop masturbating for a few months to make myself feel better?
