>>145481My experience with IUD so far is 10/10.
If hormones from pills fuck you up, try a copper IUD
>no hormones>98% effective (more than condom and pill iirc)>lasts for years>have it checked from time to time in normal routine schedule, no pills to swallow everyday>if you change your mind and want a baby you can have it removed and go for it whenever you pleaseThe only side effect for me was to have longer and more copious periods for the first year, but then it went back to normal.
Speak to your doc for more info, you might want to give it a try.

>>145475Probably no1curr but I'm op, went to the doctor today and it turns out my IUD is in the right position still, just the strings are coiled up inside now. It's not that big of a deal until I need to get it out.
What's crazy is that on the ultrasound, they incidentally found that I have an cyst on my left ovary that's the same size as the ovary itself. So that's wild. Good thing I got my IUD checked out, so they can keep an eye on my fucked up ovary now lmao.

>>145618I guess everyone reacts differently to the insertion procedure.
I took ibuprofen before undergoing the procedure, it still hurt but for me it was bearable, it's just the usual discomfort of a gynecological inspection + the pain of the doctor inserting a cannula in your cervix to put the IUD in place.
If the doc is good and experienced he/she will be fast and reduce the painful sensation with a quick insertion.
Afterwards you will have cramps for a couple hours, but you can take extra ibuprofen to ease the pain.
After that, you will not feel anything at all and you will be free.

>>145534 here
It's the kind of pain that you bare through whilst it happening and for a couple hours after, whilst it was being inserted there was a nurse holding my hand and being really supportive. If you're gonna do it maybe take a friend with you to take care of you after. Like i said in my last post it's so worth it if you're not looking to get pregnant.
Another note; and this might just be in the uk, but the doctor won't call you when it's time to get it removed/checked up, so keep a mental note of roughly when you got it inserted, i use the period tracking app 'Clue' and logged it in there. it's not like after it expires it's dangerous or anything, my mum is menopausal and hers expired and the doctor said they could leave it there forever without a problem.

All you wanna do differently for the genitals is basically cover the bits that you need to protect with your hand (you might need to sit in front of a mirror for this). So use one hand to cover your labia minora and use the other to zap the hairs on the labia minora. That way you can't accidentally laser any pink bits which will really sting and can burn you.

In general be very skeptic about any online information about hymens. Chances are more likely than not that they are a massive patriarchal meme that comes from seriously hurting virgins in their first time and making them bleed ("something must have broken, it's her body being like this!!" so men can avoid taking responsibility for hurting their girlfriends and wives during sex and have an excuse to be as rough as they want). Fun fact your "hymen" never really goes away, it only stretches and opens a bit wider, hence why b, c, d, e, look absolutely ridiculous; it shouldn't be completely closed at all or to the point you can't get any fingers or tampons. That anon most likely has vaginismus rather than a "thick hymen".

After having intense sex, does anyone else's vagina feel, like, it's sort of almost falling out? God, that sounds so bad, but I swear it's not as bad as it sounds. Like, the inside is so swollen from the sex that it kind of pushes out a bit. Not labia, I mean the actual vagina. And I'm not "loose" or anything either, I have the opposite problem where I'm too tight and it can be extremely painful for both me and the guy.
TLDR does anyone's vagina get so inflammed after sex sometimes that it slightly pushes outward
I think it only happens if I have multiple sessions. I've been limiting sex to once a day whenever I have it, and that's made a difference. It doesn't happen too often, but whenever it happens it really freaks me out and I can't really find anything fitting my experience.
Also, it always goes away within 12-24 hours and has never resulted in any kind of infection or change in discharge or anything like that.
No. 147278
>>147273>>147274another samefag, but after reading a bit and thinking I'm pretty sure the fact that I completely shave everything contributes too. Apparently being completely shaven makes internal inflammation way more likely and I already feel inflamed after shaving, even without sex.
Guess I'll stop fully shaving my vag and just trim, and be more careful with sex.
Still, if anyone relates please chime in.

Have any of you sweet anons any positive experience with hormonal contraception?
I used the mini pill and the tricyclic pill (? English isn’t my first language) when I was around 18, the first one made me bleed a lot and both made my pussy dry up and my libido became lower. I haven’t used any hormonal contraception since then, but now that I’m pretty much sure that I don’t want kids, I want a more reliable method of contraception.
I also suffer from PMS for the two or so weeks between ovulation and the period. Some information states that hormonal contraception might make it better, some say it can become worse.
I might have a heightened risk of blood clots as well, so I’m thinking about getting an implant.
Any advice? And can anyone share any positive stories or is it just horrible and not even worth considering?

I also bled for a year straight and my periods got worse and worse. It was alright for like half a year though.
Plus it was placed too deep so I had to have multiple attempts to dig it out of my arm. Fun stuff.

>>147290If you're worried about copper go get tested for allergies before you implant a IUD.
I've had one for 5 years now, everything went smooth, never experienced any trouble and the insertion was painful but tolerable because my gyno was really quick and competent.
It gets inserted by placing a cannula through your cervix, the IUD slides from the cannula inside your uterus. Strings dangle out of your cervix for future removal of the IUD. You won't notice them inside of you, and you can keep using internal tampons without any problem.
I am going to insert a new one this year, best birth control decision of my life.

>>147515as dumb as this sounds, for me it was more of being in the mindset of "I can squirt if I just believe in myself enough" than anything else. It helps if you're really relaxed and happy going into it. Never been able to do it if I wasn't in that state. For me, I also have to physically like, push my vaginal muscles outwards to make it happen. It doesn't just happen spontaneously, although for some people it can.
If you're worried about accidentally peeing, make sure you go to the bathroom beforehand and don't drink anything until you're done. Put down a towel just to be safe, too. Even if it does happen, try not to be too hard on yourself about it. I do notice a difference between squirting and peeing, but tbh it's not that pronounced, so it's easy to fuck it up.

It can easily happen to have pee stored in your bladder and the friction and poking by the dick can cause an involuntary release of piss (happened to me a few times, was really aroused and lost control of the bladder a bit); you can call it "squirting" if you like, but it's actually you pissing all over your man's dick while fucking.

>>147631Women don't ejaculate as there is no biological need for a woman to ejaculate. Sex as much as transexuals and idiots want to believe is an evolutionary construct and there are biological reasons for orgasms. A female ejaculating does not make any sense. Women piss yes, but they do not ejaculate. We get wet when aroused to ease the entry of a dick, when females orgasm they tremor, which is the muscles in the vagina contracting inwards to help with sperm flow up to an egg.
Why in the fuck would a woman ejaculate when the goal of fucking at least in a biological sense is for impregnation. Squirting outwards is counter productive. It is mental that this needs to be explained to women.

The medical community hasn't been able to confirm what exactly is happening with women who supposedly "ejaculate," (I'll even put it in quotes, just to appease your sperging), so idk why you think you have all the answers regarding this topic?
It honestly sounds like you have some sort of issue with urinary incontinence and are assuming everyone who has ever purported to squirt has the exact same problem, and just can't own up to it. That may be true for some, but angrily insisting that ALL squirting is just piss, offering no evidence for this to be the case other than "I've pissed myself during sex before," just comes across as a cope more than anything else.

Pee in the bladder is not produced just as a result of drinking.
Never took a piss before going to bed and then waking up because you needed to pee despite it?
In my personal experience, I have "squirted" during sex in different occasions, a couple times because I did have a full bladder before starting to fuck (I literally felt my bladder releasing drops because of me being aroused and the dick thrusting in) but other times I peed before starting and bladder got full with new pee in mid action (same thing happened while masturbating, I usually pee before starting but after finishing the bladder is full).
You definitely sound like a man, you know nothing about how female genitalia nor bladder work.

Does anyone own period underwear or cups?
I was looking at getting some underwear to try but I am worried reviews I found on various websites/forums could be disingenuous.
Brand-wise, I whittled it down to Modibodi and Thinx, but the critiques I found is the fabric is water proof so it can get really smelly and stay sweaty everywhere underneath, period or not. Additionally, I read that the materials might actually have compounds which are harmful to ones health, or that they are only supposed to last about a year… Since they are pretty pricy I am hesitant about buying a pair but would really love to stop using tampons.
For cups, I read that you are supposed to boil it prior to each use to reduce Toxic Shock Syndrome? They also seem SO big, I am a bit narrow so I am struggling on what size to get or how to expect it to feel? Also would love to switch to a method of managing my period that requires no insertion…
I am leaning towards just using washable pads, however my period is a monster for the first 2 days and basically 7 days worth of blood and clots come out in 48 hours, so I need washable pads that can take a beating, be really absorbent, not smell like blood, and maybe last a while before I have to discard them and drop more money on new ones? I was hoping period panties would be able to simplify things but now I don't know.
Anyone have any experiences/thoughts/preferences?
No. 148452
>>148451Been using a cup for five years now. Boiling before each cycle is good advice, but personally I just wash mine well with water and unscented soap whenever my period starts; I've never had a problem. I've accidentally dropped it on my bathroom floor maybe three times and that's the time I boil it for ten minutes.
There are plenty of online quizzes to take to determine what size cup is best for you, but the general rule of thumb is if your flow is regular and you've never given birth, size small should be just fine. If you consider yourself narrow, I'd recommend a small.

>>148230Yeah that! Sorry I couldnt remember the name.
There are also some asians that DO smell but they are never taught how to properly "take care " of the smell so they just dont do it.
Also I read somewhere that with age, you start getting some BO down in the vagina area, so thats why I said its good to wash it with (vagina-friendly) soap. Imagine if you washed BO with just water? It would just get worse.
No. 148456
>>148452>>148455Wow, thank you so much for your feedback! While I would prefer to stop using a product that requires insertion (I usually use tampons), if cups are this successful after so many years I would be willing to give it a try.
Can I ask what brands specifically you both like? Also at what point do you have to throw them away, from your personal experience?
No. 148460
>>148456Nta but I use pixie! It's very small compared to most cups. If you fold it like a taco, it's very simple to insert. I've been using one since September (and very often since my birth control is whack right now.)
Also, pro-tip when you're regularly washing them: Never wash in hot water or your cup will turn brown.
No. 148480
>>148456First ayrt here - I use a small local brand made in my country so I’m not sure if I can recommend it. But I would say a cup is good for 5-6 years: for example, I actually just recently replaced mine but only because the stem had broken off. The cup part still good.
I’m actually also interested in period underwear to wear on days when I think my period’s coming up, but yeah, the warnings about smell and stuff are making wary too.

Anons I can't tell if there's something wrong with me or if I'm just being paranoid. I feel like my urethra is too close to my vaginal opening, and also that it looks kind of swollen/puffy.

anons I need some help. I think there's something wrong with my cervix but I'm not sure. It seems to be abnormally low, even when aroused. I can feel it by inserting my finger as deep as halfway through my first and second knuckle (~a bit over an inch) but the weirder part is that it's not in the centre, it sits on the left side of my pelvis. i can go "around" it with my finger and the virginal canal seems to be of normal length. I booked an appointment for a gynecologist but In on the waiting list for another 2 months. I'm very scared it might be prolapsed. Last time I had sex was years ago.

>>149540I'm in my mid-twenties and have never seen a gyno either but like, girls and woman in my country don't go to a gyno unless they're 50+ or have an actual concern/reason to go. We don't go for random check-ups when you're completely healthy and have no reason to go, so I'm not concerned. I didn't even know it was a thing for woman to get an annual check-up in other countries until I saw something trending about it on social media. And I'm from a rich western country with a decent health care system, so it's not like the average person can't afford it or whatever.

Did most here get the vaccine?
No. 149597
>>149590It's not "social media pressure", it's raising awareness because there's a lot of women who died of cancer at young age, which could totally be prevented if only they went for a check-up regularly, and a lot of them just didn't know it's a thing they should do. It's for your own good, dying of cancer is a really shitty way to die; but in all honesty, if you don't care about your health and life, you don't have to go. There are chances you'll be fine anyway.
>>149592I got two vaccines for the HPV types that come with the highest cancer risk but not the rest; and the only reason I got them is because my mom who is a nurse learnt about the possibility to have these from one of the doctors. Otherwise it's really uncommon in my country for women to even know it's an option, and additionaly, it's really expensive to have these, unfortunately.

I've read a testimony of a woman who went to the gyno when she was like, 15 and said she was sexually active, and when asked she admitted she had had multiple partners and the (female) gyno had a weird behaviour. Later she did her a pap smear that was especially painful and the woman suspects it was a sort of "punishment". Unfortunately I'm sure there's tons of doctors with shitty views who can't help but bring their useless morals in their work. Not that I think 15 year olds should have lots of sex but gynecological abuse is not the way to solve that.

I think i mitht be broken, i avoid gynecologists like the plague and even talking about anything vagina related makes me sweat and get anxious. In fact i cried reading this damn thread (don't know why i did it).
It's not like i've been raped, only groped by some men i trusted, but still any reminder of woman body parts like breasts or uterus makes me anxious and pregnancy talk makes me want to die. I'm not trans either, i have no desire to live or look like a man.

No. 150354
>>150343anon, I posted earlier in this thread how I never looked at my vagine before til recently, it's because of the same reasons you are dealing with. It fucking sucks and hard to say why this is a thing for us, but like other anon said the groping is enough to be super upsetting. So it could be that, but for me personally i think its cus lack of sex ed/society doesnt care for women to feel good/having to see how we are objectified 24/7. (And i was groped once too by a friend but just the thigh, still makes you hyper aware of your own body and how it is taken sexually). Imo that alone is enough to fuck us all up so this may not be so unusual.
It may be that slow exposure to the female body (mainly your own) could help. Thats basically what i am doing. Trying to learn more slowly, observe/touch, and yes i did cry too when i looked at pics and diagrams of vaginas. Really want to hug you tbh cus it is a strange experience. But i have faith we can both overcome, and go from disturbed -> testing waters -> tolerating -> loving/appreciating our body parts. But then maybe theres other options like therapy? Honestly what you said about getting groped by men you trusted is enough to have some trauma imo. Best of luck<3

Yeah maybe therapy would help in the future, i don't know if many therapists are equiped to deal with this though lol
I can look at mine (others freak me out), but touching or any feeling is weird.
We are treated as not default yeah. Another thing for me at least is that i find it digusting that i have certain body parts to attract a male and have kids and i absolutely DO NOT want that but i need to be constantly reminded of it since like 11. I hate that my body is designed for mens pleasure and for childbirth when i don't want to and that i suffer so much from it to be honest. Being a woman sucks and doctors don't help when they refuse things like letting me get my tubes tied.
>>150367Thanks for the kind words. That might be it, i'm the same way, but even small tampons are too much. I can't even stand touching myself there directly too much, it freaks me out.
Honestly, my experience with doctors has not been like that, mine years ago were very dismissive and impatient like they didn't want to deal wirh a difficult patient so i never even let them see much less touch. But even if they're sweet i won't be able to, i really don't know what my state would be after and i'm already mid key suicidal.

>>150381I am so so sorry you're suffering because of this bullshit lie men create for us. Your body is only so much for men's pleasure as theirs is for ours, but that's meaningless. It really is true that sexual harassment is about domination and control. When men walk behind a woman and make demeaning comments about her ass (my friend's experience), or grope you, it can leave a strong sense of embarassment and shame. But that's their true intention, to override women's boundaries and get pleasure from the humiliation. It's ingrained into us that our bodies are the reason they do this, that they can't help it if they see an attractive woman with sexy features!! That we're baby makers or sex dolls. But you have to realize, and replace that internalization- I think you've internalized that message and so did I and others. But your body is NOT men's, it's not those features' fault for existing that all these expectations and actions take place toward them. Expectations and behaviors are external, they are men's and society's, but your body is there to serve you first and foremost. Sorry if I'm getting preachy I just am so sorry you have to face this bullshit that's not even fair or true. I hope you can come to appreciate your body because it exists for you, and its functions should be your choice. If someone asserts that you have to have babies or that your parts are for their pleasure, that's men's perversion. It doesnt have to be your reality.

Not shaving is what's really worked best in regards to having a healthy bikini area, though.

This is SO embarrassing but I've been worried and insecure about my clit for my entire life. It's way too big and it looks so weird. Even as a kid before I even had any form of sex education I knew something down there was different, and at one point I thought I actually had a penis (lol). As an adult it's still huge and very noticeable and sticks out through my underwear. The hood is really big too, the same size as my labia if not bigger.
It's made me terrified of relationships because I'm afraid my partner would react badly or think I have a disease.
Could I be intersex, or at least have weird testosterone levels? Asking that specifically because I also have a lot of body hair but I definitely don't have PCOS, like I have a trail of hair that goes from my crotch up to the bottom of my ribs. I'm really worried there's something wrong.
No. 151663
>>151558afaik, clits just vary in sizes and there's nothing weird about big clit or big hood. Doesn't it mean there's more pleasure-space exposed? Mine is tiny and very hidden and sometimes so fucking elusive I can't stimulate it when having sex. So there's a brightside to everything, anon.
>>151463>>151564not needing or liking masturbation is completely normal, BUT having feelings like fear or disgust tied to it is not. You should work through it and analize why and when those feelings appeared. Maybe you felt pressured (you said you only did it because of your bf?) and it's some kind of trauma now. If it bothers you, think about consulting a sexuologist. It can be really healing to talk about it with someone competent.

Clits are small, even as a lesbian I need to get to know what works for each new partner that I have, it's not an anatomy issue, different strokes work for different women and it can just take a bit of communication to learn what works. You don't give up on the idea of them ever coming after one or two sessions. I'm way more concerned about the way he's talking to you (when you've only just started being intimate) and I'm less inclined to think you have some anomaly going on with your genitals. He sounds like a selfish lover if he's so quick to say this
> he was unsure he could get me off with it being so smallI'm going to say this is a red flag for him being a selfish lover and someone who is quick to misplace blame onto you, it reads as

Healthy animal fat helps bowel movement and dry skin, and essential nutrient help reapir. If raw milk products are legal in your country, try that. If not, regular probiotics like yoghurt also work. Good bacteria helps calm the gut and vagina. Try cutting out or limiting grains, at least wheat, that really worsens ibs and dry skin in my experience. Reducing sugar intake also helps vaginal dryness in my experience, maybe it stops feeding the yeast idk.
I used to struggle with the exact same things. Dryness, tearing, blood, utis, yeast and bv. Always pain. Also have IBS, dry skin, and used to have a pretty bad diet, still pretty shit. But even just doing a little help a lot in my experience. Getting off hormonal bc also helped me, I suspect(know) they made me dry and thinned my mucosa, making me rip and get infections. So if you use hormonal bc, maybe try a different brand if thats possible? I can only use progesterone, so I couldn't try.

It's an erogenous zone and they produce the female ejaculate, which comes from urethra. It's all linked basically. Personally, when I stimulate this area intensely I also feel the urge to pee - if you keep the pressure, you may ejaculate. For me it's a bit embarrassing because you never know when the ejaculation turns into straight up pee lol.
Don't worry about the strap on though. There's a chance you won't get the squirt-sensation from penetration. I only get it through external stimulation. But if you will, well, a lot of people are into that, communicate with your gf before. It's really nothing to be shy about, it's normal anatomy

I didn't realise it until I took a break for a few months and I felt this clarity I hadn't felt in years. For so long I thought I was a crazy bitch, turns out it was the hormones. I ended up on the implant from then on, which did the same, but I just didn't want kids so I kinda negged myself into thinking it was okay for me to feel like this, just because I didn't want children. I have had enough of hormones now though, and next week, I am finally getting my implant removed and taking a long break from it all, to find myself again and let my body be in it's natural state. I dread to think of the long term damage it could cause, physically and mentally. That, and my family has a history of women getting human reactive breast cancers, so I want off it, ASAP. Good luck to you, anon. I hope it serves you well!

Sage if this has already been discussed, but holy shit Monistat 1 is the fucking devil. I stupidly assumed the pharmacy wouldn’t sell me literal vagina poison but that’s what I got. It’s a little weird creepy egg thing that you put in your vagina. Everything’s fine for the first hour. Then I started itching so badly. It felt like little gremlins were trying to scratch out my insides. I ran home and got in the shower. There were tears.
And there are hundreds of pages of reviews saying the same damn thing. Monistat 1 is too powerful. Scientists shouldn’t have created it. Stick to Monistat 3 and 7.

I used to get yeast infections from stress also so that's possible. Also my discharge smells like hell after my period, could be something like that too.
I heard that if you wear pantyliners all the time it makes you produce more discharge and that was kind of true for me, when I stopped wearing them I'd get significantly less wet which was awesome.
I just wrote down all the things I've learned/experienced after dealing with abundant discharge during my teen years so hopefully something helps. Anyway gyno is the best option and I definitely recommend yearly checkups..

If it was, why do they suck? it was like a year ago so I don't remember it exactly but, normally when I masturbate, it feels good until a certain point where it peaks and then stops, but this was slightly different, I remember that after I 'peaked', I ending up feeling like I was having my period in slow motion and my pussy felt extremely warm but not in a good way at all (I was also experiencing things that I usually experienced after I masturbate, like fatigue, warmer body temperature, high heart rate) and I just wanted it to end, I felt genuinely uncomfortable

But back to the article, she got a pap smear done and the doctor identified a bacteria common in patients with reoccurring BV/yeast infections. There are some women who naturally produce this bacteria more, which leads to unstable levels of pH. Depending on HOW you're getting it (sex, tight clothes, swimming) I believe the treatment is different. Explain all your symptoms to your doctor and journal them. Also, mention any medications you are currently taking and what form of protection you're using… Also
personally I thought I had a yeast infection for several months and the treatment never worked. Turns out it was actually vaginitis, and I had been giving myself the wrong treatment and making it worse. Sometimes if yeast infections go untreated they can progress and lead to BV or vaginitis. Make sure the doctor is giving you the right treatment plan and they know all of the factors that could possibly affect your current situationt. tired me

I would press charges if I found out my new sexual partner had herpes and simply decided that I didn't need to know. There are people who are
terrified of catching an STI who get tested before and after every new partner and take extra care to stay disease free, so trying to undermine that to avoid the consequences of not being certain of your partner's status before you rawdog is beyond just shitty or unethical.

lot of women don’t get anything out of penetration. You didn’t mention whether you’ve had sex before. By myself I’ve never been interested in dildos or fingering, it doesn’t do anything for me. When I’m with a partner there’s a psychological element that’s hot, but that’s it. I think many, if not most women feel the same.
> when I have something inserted I just stop movingThis, and what you said about feeling uncomfortable at best when something’s inserted, is concerning. Does this happen in situations where you’re already turned on? When there hasn’t been enough foreplay I’ve felt some pain or been uncomfortable, but if it’s all the time then that’s abnormal. If you feel like this even when you’re aroused and with a partner you’re comfortable with, then something’s up. You should see a gyno if you haven’t. I don’t think you have vaginismus either because a friend of mine has it and she had to use tiny little dilators every day, but it could be some other vagina problem. If it’s not medical then you could get therapy, but don’t feel like you have to. It’s fine if penetration just isn’t for you.

I recently switched to zero waste menstrual items and I'm having an absolute shit time. Please help.
I bought reusable pads and I've bled through into my underwear each time I've worn them (no cup/tampon), even when changing them at the same frequency as the disposable pads I've previously worn. I've been going through three to four in day. I only own 6 reusable pads at the moment and don't have a washer/dryer in my apartment so I've been washing them by hand in a sink with color-safe bleach. How many should I expect to own? Is 6 a reasonable amount? I'm also unsure of how to handle a soiled reusable pad if I'm out. I haven't encountered an instance yet where I've worn it out of the home because of quarantine.
I also bought a Saalt menstrual cup in small and soft, and I have not been able to insert it correctly once. I've struggled with vaginismus and have a smaller vaginal canal with a low cervix, so I'm sure my anatomy is a contributing factor. The closest I've gotten to success is having the cup uncomfortably hang half-way out my vagina. Every other time has been so painful and frustrating I've been in near tears and insertion was totally unsuccesful. I can't seem to get it in deep enough, and most of the time the cup is slipping through my hands because I've lubricated it with water and the folds are prematurely unfurling. I'm considering switching the Saalt Teen cup in hopes that the smaller size will help with successful insertion, but I'm not sure how useful it will actually be.
Does anyone have any tips/suggestions/etc for zero/low waste period options?
No. 160479
>>160477re: soiled pads, usually just stuff them in a baggy until you get home.
you should be able to wear just the pads unless your flow is super heavy if you have vaginismus, but are you sure you got the right kind? which manufacturer was it?
the maxi kind are supposed to have several absorbent layers as well as be larger but i know some etsy sellers just make them bigger and still say they're for "heavy days" when they're not.
how many pads you own depends on you, how many times would you need to change a normal pad per day? for reference, i got three of two kinds (liner and normal) to use over two days and wash/reuse as needed, but my flow is not heavy at all.
re: cup, the issue seems to be that you're not inserting it deep enough rather than the size of the cup itself. it's not supposed to sit that low, and you should also trim the stem so it doesn't irritate you. if it unfurls prematurely it could be too stiff? a good clue is if you can't keep it folded and it presses on your bladder/makes you want to pee.

that crazy, it’s just more than a tampon or pad can absorb. I do use the large cup size for those first days from the company June, but it’s not painful or uncomfortable to get it in. The first few times were definitely odd and took a while (I would say be comfortable with putting a finger or two inside yourself since you have to push them in a ways) but after that it became less of a struggle.

Porn and vaginismus have fucked my perception of what a vagina is supposed to be like. I avoid porn now and the vaginismus has completely gone, but still have questions.
How big is the vaginal opening supposed to be? Confused why some holes are almost invisible and some are around the size of the woman’s nail.
What level of tightness is normal? When my muscles would seize up it was impossible to get a finger in and now I can without resistance, it should feel like an achievement but I feel loose lol.

When my muscles would seize up it was impossible to get a finger in and now I can without resistance, it should feel like an achievement but I feel loose lol.i can keep a finger out if I tense my muscles too but when I'm turned on it'd slip right in lol. you're not 'loose' if you can do it without resistance, you're just relaxed/turned on, how it's meant to be

3. use a shave gel (currently using one from kiss my face but have used simple bar soap before no issue) all over where i'm gonna shave
4. shave! some people say always use a fresh razor each time but i find that so wasteful/expensive so i use the same disposable one maybe 5 times.
5. i try and shave with the grain but shaving your labia majora can get tricky so i often go in all directions lol
6. hop in the shower and use the exfoliating glove again (i swear exfoliation is the most important thing)
7. once out the shower i use an oil, like coconut or jojoba and just kinda hang out before i get dressed so the oil can absorb
that's basically it. now and then i will get a little itchiness as the hairs grow back and maybe an ingrown but nothing serious. hope this helps in some way, anon

Curious, has anyone here ever actually managed to look at their cup after pulling it out and see what measurement their blood reached? I always pull mine out on the toilet so my hand instinctively just tips it downward to empty it. I feel like if I tried to lift it up to read it i’d just slip and drop the cup in the toilet bowl. Should I just practice not automatically emptying it?

I’m afraid it’ll get stuck inside me. I haven’t had sex so maybe that makes it more difficult but still it’s super annoying.
Does the stem of the cup go in too? Or is it supposed to stick out of your vagina? And removing it seems extremely hard, i can barely get my fingers in there while inserting it.

>>161059If your cup doth not overfloweth, then I see no reason that you'd have to examine it before emptying it. Unless you're just curious about the amount collected? In that case then just be conscious of… not tipping it out automatically? Idk why you'd think it would slip, just do whatever you normally do to reach the stem and break the suction, pull it out until you can grasp the bottom of the cup with your other hand, then hold it up for examination.
>>161066>>161077Look at the picture in
>>160535 response, that's how far it has to go in. The stem has to be inside you, yes. It cannot get lost inside you, your cervix is the "end" of your vagina and the farthest a cup can go is to sit right against it. If pulling the stem isn't enough and it feels stuck you just need to push against the base of the cup to break suction. You will likely at least be up to the first joint on your index finger, probably not to the knuckle but you do have to push it in a ways. Make sure you're relaxed, your vagina can expand more than you'd expect to accommodate a cup.
Pad-only anon, this will likely take more time as you need to get used to the initial sensation of being "up in there" but I promise you're not going to damage anything so long as you go slowly.

>>161077 Word of warning, everything
>>161080 said is correct but for some women, menstrual cups can worsen your cramps. I really loved my cup at first (convenient, less waste) but it made my cramps 10x worse and it was weird and painful fishing around for the cup. It was hard to break the suction and get a grip on it for me, the stem gets really slippery and the edges of the cup sometimes expand too far and scrape my walls when removing or inserting. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if it's just not for everyone, but I would advice practicing with it while not on your period to avoid getting a handful of blood and to find out whether it's comfortable beforehand.
>>161091Yes, always get stuff like that checked just in case. If you're talking about a pap smear, it will only take five minutes and it's not nearly as uncomfortable as I was led to believe. If you have good healthcare, then go for it!
No. 161102
>>161091Do it, i am a virgin yet had cell changes (shit english, I guess that's what they're called in english) and had to have biopsies taken thrice, pap smears thrice or 4 times. Apparently it's most likely just me being prone to cervical and vaginal infections/irritation, that also gave the false alarm in the bloodwork for cancer screening. Still have to go for screenings every few months for biopsies and shit but you never know, I didn't really have any issues but they also told me that being a virgin never rules that shit out, you could get hpv even as a young kid from no sexual contact and blah blah blah.
Tldr; go, virgin or no, previous issues or no.

>>161093 >I really loved my cup at first (convenient, less waste) but it made my cramps 10x worse I had the same experience. I had a job for a few years where I would get all sorts of both sex toys and other intimate products for free to test so I've tried 5 or 6 cups aswell as buying a couple of brands I couldn't get for free. For me the dealbreaker is the extra cramps. I'm lucky in that I get pain free periods or just a few hours of cramps most months. When using cups I cramped the entire time of my period and I was miserable trying to manage pain that I usually don't have.
I've experienced it the odd time that I buy super-plus tampons too. I guess some of us are just extra sensitive. I'm back to using tampons and I use the smallest ones that I can to minimise cramping. On my period right now and I haven't needed one painkiller this month because I'm at home using light flow tampons and just changing them often.

Anons, could I get some help identifying the name of the birth control tablets I took a few years back? All I remember is that it probably had a row of peach-colored placebos for the last week… Sorry for the dumb question, it's just I'm having trouble getting the records from my pharmacy.
No. 161493
>>161454Anon, the signs you described are expected especially if you have history of irregular period. You should consistently take it for at least 3 months until your cycles stabilized.
In the mean time, start documenting how many tampon/pads and duration of the bleeding.
You should see your doctors if you start having shortness of breath, chest pain, severe postural dizziness, swelling of legs, etc.
If you’re still concerned, ask your doctor if they can do a hgb/hct to check if you haven’t lost too much blood.
A pregnancy test would also be done to r/o ectopic pregnancy.

I’m genuinely terrified to take my birth control. I picked up ortho tri-cyclen on Monday and I’m supposed to start on Sunday according to my gyn, but I regret not telling her I don’t want to go on it. It felt like she was hoping I would say yes, so I did. I stupidly felt like I “owed” it to her for making my pap go smoothly after I was traumatized by a previous attempt by a different practitioner. That actually felt like a horror movie. I know they tried to do it carefully but it felt like they weren’t and the pain distressed me so badly I couldn’t move past the experience for a few days, and was very lethargic. Anyways my period is messed up, but for the most part I don’t even mind it. It’s bearable. But I can’t shake this worry that the pill is going to fuck me up even more, or I’ll react badly to it and will never recover.

>>162152Are you wet before the dick goes in? Does it happen more often in the winter season? Does it get better with lubricant? Are you feeling stressed lately? Got tested for STD yet? Recent childbirth? Recent trauma to the area?
The fact you feel pain after sex makes me think it’s secondary vaginismus 2/2 lack of lubricant. I do not recommend lubricant cuz some people get itchy from it. If you need it, try the water-based not the oil-based.
It could also be psychological. Are you having sex with a new partner of the same one.
Lastly, could be infection. STD like vaginitis and herpes could cause pain that is exacerbated by sex.
Either way, try lubricant, try not to tense up during sex. If neither works, maybe it’s time to see your doctor to get checked out.

So I never have had penetration in other forms than with toys and even then only the skinniest dildos went in without it being absolutely awful, no matter what I did, it just wasn't doable for me. Fast fucking forward to me being subjected to gazillion different ultrasounds, biopsies, pap smears all on a monthly to every 3 months basis, first it was always 100% awful, bleeding, post cramps that lasted for days, sometimes even week. Found out I just have a chronic tendency to have an irritated cervix BUT I noticed when wiping that I felt looser. Like, tmi but I would sometimes hear like fart-y sounds when wiping and was worried that it was a sign of something sinister. Asked my gynoncologist and she told me that it was absolutely a possibility my shit just got stretched by all of this, especially with me not having any regular penetration past. Things have sucked and will suck for a while but at least I don't think I have some extra grip pinhole pussy anymore, even all of my examinations are going so much more smoother these days!

>>162224The ortho evra patch? Don't recommend.
I took it for almost a year. The hormones on this method are STRONG and the risk of a blood clot in your thighs is increased, take note.
WHILE I was in it everything was fine, but the patch is disgusting. This was 5 years ago so idk how much it's improved but the glue would attract lint and slide around. Hot baths will make it slide off. It might just slide off your back if your shirt rides up when you sleep. Not convenient and cute like the mid 00's ads for it made it look.
AFTER: insurance called and said they don't cover it anymore so I just stopped. 4 months later my acne went from mild to severe. (Not cystic but insanely inflamed and riddled with white heads).
It went down by the summer but the state if my acne has not fully recovered, and I may some day commit to going on Accutane.
(Note: individual reaction to the hormones can differ, I have also experienced the 1 in 10 bleeding reaction to the implant) soo maybe im a horror story.

For a few years before this I didn't really have regular sex bc useless coomer bfs or single or stuff, so maybe the factory shut itself down so to speak

Ugh, fuck it, I'm anonymous, I'm just gonna post it. Sorry for the stubble/weird lighting, I'm obviously not planning an OF debute.
What is wrong with my labia majora? Why is it so weird/asymmetrical? Why doesn't it transition smoothly into my mound? It used to be worse but I'm so insecure about it I paid nearly 2k for fillers to try to make it more even. I'm considering paying more. Obviously none of my partners have ever said anything but I never really let them down there. Ive always refused to be eaten out and everything, won't do positions or nudes that would show that area.
I've never been able to find anything online describing this kind of problem and obviously I've never seen anyone else with it.
I know it shouldn't matter but it's something that really bothers me. Even if I was the only person to see my own cooch for the rest of time I'd want to fix it just so I don't have to notice it's weirdness when I shower or something. Looking at the pic it seems like I'm being extra dramatic but it's way worse seeing it proper, I'm just not willing to try to take another pic to better display my weird fucking genitals…

For the past couple of months my pelvic area keeps feeling… weak? I feel something that’s not like full cramps, it’s like numbness like I overdid it with the vibe but without the greatness. It’s in my bladder/vagina like I’m going to wet myself out of either holes. I’ve never had this before and this has only started since I was put on birth control. Has anyone else ever experienced this before? My leaflet doesn’t say anything about this on the list of symptoms.

>Is it possible to feel your hymen on your own?Absolutely.
>If so what would it feel like?Hard to say because there seems to be a considerable variance of size (coverage), thickness, texture, shape, elasticity, etc. In my case it felt most similar to cooked poultry lung (e.g. like Christmas goose which we don't use stuffing for here) - it's soft, slimier than inner labia, vulva, etc., and when you press it on both sides it feels much more elastic/bouncy than the rest of the vagina. Allegedly, it's supposed to be "in principle" like a natural membrane that is supposed to come off from its periphery, and now that I don't have I can definitely pinpoint its original "boundaries" through touch.
Ultimately, there's A LOT of misinformation regarding the hymen, which is a damn shame for both cases at the end the spectrum: Ignorant male doctors that can't really perceive it with accuracy (e.g. no matter how much you tried you'd never know what having a penis feels like), not enough studies that encompass all the variations, and feminists who try to make it an ideological issue (e.g. virginity - inb4 derailing). Point being that there isn't a "perfect" guide that you can find online, afaik, that will give you the exact answer you're looking for, which means a lot of what you'll find outside of very strict literature will be anecdotal.

I think I ruined all sensitivity because I grew up doing a lot of horseback riding and bmx/mountain/dirt biking; pretty much all of my hobbies included straddling something hard and rigid for long periods of time lol. I have memories of improperly landing in the saddle on a bucking horse or landing really hard on my bmx bike and essentially crushing my pussy on the saddle or seat. I don't have any memory of breaking or even having a hymen though it would make sense if it broke when I was mountain biking around 7 or 8. So now I don't feel sexual pleasure when I touch my clit or vagina. It's not painful or uncomfortable, it's just the feeling is a neutral as picking your nose, maybe even more numb. Ever since I started masturbating I can only have an orgasm by laying on my side and pressing down really hard on my clit with very minimal motion. I can also have an orgasm by using a vibrator, but I wish I could just feel good during sex. I enjoy sex for mostly psychological reasons. There are fleeting moments when penetration feels sexually pleasurable but it's kind of random when it happens. I've been with different sizes and it's all similar. I've tried relaxing and closing my eyes and touching my clit while aroused but it just feels like nothing. I've tried running a shower/faucet over myself and it feels like nothing. I know a lot of women can't get off via penetration but I wish I could at least feel it.

>>165538I have really heavy periods and still have no trouble with baths during my period. It's not like anybody loses pints of blood in the space of an hour. What little blood does come out generally disappears into the water. I usually have a shower too tbf, mostly because I have the baths to soothe my cramps and the shower to actually get clean.
>>165542This may be a silly question, but are you lifting your clitoral hood up to masturbate? Some people don't need to and for some people it will make them too sensitive, but if you don't feel anything at all it might help.

I can orgasm only if my bledder is half full. Idk if it's psychological or physiological or both. I've been masturbating by grinding against a chair with a half full bledder since I was like 10. I'm in my 20s now and I can't cum any other way. It's not a problem for me personally but I can't imagine having a girlfriend or a boyfriend, knowing I would have to fake I feel something nice down there without receiving the only kind of stimulation that works

So I got an IUD, Mirena, seven years ago when I had insurance. I live in burgerland and lost my insurance unexpectedly a few years after having it inserted. Basically it expired a couple years ago and it's still in me because I can't afford to see a doctor to get it taken out. How dangerous is this for my body? I plan to use my tax return this year to pay to get it out but I'm wondering if I've fucked my body permanently for leaving it in so long? I haven't really had any problems except my period started again once it expired and I got terrible pms symptoms which I've never had to deal with before.
No. 165652
>>165611The five year limit they give is not scientifically supported, it is a very conservative limit based on: the financial incentive of replacement and women's age.

TL;dr most IUDs are effective anywhere from 2-5 years after their "expiry date", especially so for women over 30. Always do additional research before fully trusting what your medical care provider or the internet says, especially about women's health.

i had a really weird thing today where i was trying to insert a tampon and it felt like there was a literal stopper in the entrance of my vagina. i could get maybe the very very tip of the tampon in, but after that, it would hit something that literally felt like a blockage. it didn't necessarily hurt, it was just really uncomfortable (which was made worse by me panicking, ofc). after i forced myself to calm down and purposely relax, it went in as usual, but i have no idea what the fuck the whole issue was. it definitely wasn't anything like a tampon in there already that i forgot about, because i'm super OCD about when i put my tampon in/when i take it out, etc, and i've never left one in there before. i also explicitly remember taking my last one out.
i have always had issues with having a very tight vaginal cavity (i struggle with inserting anything bigger than a finger/tampon unless i'm super wet, and even then, i still really struggle). could that be the issue? i'm kind of freaked out i guess because not only has it never happened, but when i tried to google it, next to nothing came up. i would put a finger up there and root around to check if everything is okay, but i'm worried if there's a real problem i'll hurt myself. it's just so weird

I'm not able to masturbate without my panties on? Like, I can't rub my clit directly, skin to skin, i have to rub it with soft fabric in between. Like, my fingers have to be over my panties.
When I try to rub it without the panties in between/directly I stop after like a minute because i don't like how the skin there feels, I would keep going but it doesn't feel good, just meh, like if I were touching any other area of my body. Granted it also takes a while with panties on, so maybe I'm just not horny enough when I masturbate? Should I be moisturizing/wetting that area or something? like lubing, or oil? I don't really get too wet, only after I orgasm.
Also, is this a result of being too sensitive or not sensitive enough? I think I'm not sensitive enough, because it doesn't feel like anything for a while even with panties on, which should add friction right?

>>166044try using lubrication and buy some lube, i wouldn’t try with oil or anything. it seems a lot more to me like it’s a lack of sensitivity or a lack of lubrication. kind of related but focusing on rubbing the clitoral hood (like right above the clitoris) instead of going directly for the clit might help you. i find that helps warm me up and get me used to touching there, so maybe it’ll help you to get used to it a bit more. def use more lube though, it always helps!

I already stayed away from those fragranced ones so I assume it's just because the plastic backing on them makes them so non-breathable?
I switched to tampons as soon as I moved out and in a way I feel like I cramp more when I use them (even worse with a cup) but if I have to choose between a lil extra cramping or the wet and irritated feeling..tampons worked out better.
Some women report that extra cramping with a cup in and others don't so you might try it and find it's all positive. There's cloth pads too if you feel up to washing them every month.

>>167932PIV orgasms tends to feel like these fluttery, "deep" feeling orgasms that build up. They tend to overlap and aren't as taxing as a clitoral orgasm. Usually they build up to an amazing clitoral orgasm, but when you get a very succinct, non-fluttery piv orgasm, that in of itself is quite the experience. I'd say for me that clitoral orgasms are still stronger and more intense, though. The piv orgasms enhance it.

>>168015I did it when I had symptoms of a yeast infection after taking antibiotics, I took medicated pessaries at first and they didn't do a thing so losing my mind with the itch at like 1am I sent my partner to buy live bio natural yoghurt and I dipped a tampon in it. Did that a couple more times leaving it in for a while each time. I was okay after that but I know the effectiveness of that method is disputed.
Pretty sure I actually had a repeat of that a year or so later, again on antibiotics for dental stuff. I assumed that the yoghurt working the first time was just a fluke so I spent money on pessaries and my relief was short lived with symptoms coming back days later. Again live bio yogurt did the trick.
I don't know about other countries but Canesten brand pessaries are the go-to thing pharmacists give you here and I've never heard of any friends having success with that treatment. They usually waste money on that first and then either go to yogurt or pay for a doctor to prescribe even more expensive treatment. Between UTIs and thrush I wish OTC treatments were more effective.

trigger vasovagal syncope (nothing to do with the vag, but the vagus nerve which branches off all over the body), which is effectively fainting episodes. It can be
triggered by lots of things, and for e.g. people have had it while trying to remove menstrual cups, getting injections, standing too long etc. It can make you feel very shaky and nauseous too, and especially with something as invasive as a smear test! Just make sure you let your doctor know, ask them to use a smaller, more gentle speculum and keep them aware of how you are feeling. I find it helps if I focus on wiggling my toes, and clench and unclench my hands and force blood around the body to help stop me passing out.

No. 169542
>>169531If you’re doing all those things with no results, maybe it’s not a UTI. I thought I had recurrent UTIs until I went to the doctor who referred me to the gynaecologist and then on to pelvic floor physiotherapy. Turns out I need to pee all the time because I struggle to relax my muscles so can never fully empty my bladder. One thing I’ve learned the hard way is do not pee as soon as you get the urge, as this will fuck you up long term as it reduces your bladder capacity as well as training your brain to “need” to pee as soon as there’s any there.
Obviously what’s wrong depends on your symptoms but just thought I’d point out that there’s more that can go on down there than UTIs. Ideally you need to go to a doctor, but if that’s not possible you could try kegels at home to see if that helps.
No. 169544
>>169531Anon above might be right. But I'll add my two cents, since I've also experienced this.
Main question, do you have a new partner or started having sex after a longer break? This is what usually happens. It's like, our bacterial flora has to get used to new person's bacterias all over the pussy, sorry for crude explanation. I'd get UTIs constantly with my bf, I figured it's getting a bit dangerous at this point (frequent UTIs fuck you up longterm so don't hesitate to medicate!), so I did full antibiotic therapy (before, I'd stop taking pills when symptoms stopped - don't do that! It's not cured yet) and now I'm free of it. So, what I want to say is, it may be one huge untreated UTI that keeps coming back when the bacterias from sex are "supplied". You need to treat it properly.

>>169533That mostly happens when giving birth while laying on your back, which is not at all the only way or even the best way. IIRC, women always used to squat or stand, sometimes in or over water to give birth, but some fuckboi English king decided he needed to see the gorey details at his leisure so he ordered them to lay down and spread eagle so he could have a front row seat.
It makes no sense that having a baby should rip you in half like that from an evolutionary standpoint, nor does it nake any sense to lay flat on your back and try to push 5-8 pounds against gravity horizontally when it makes a million times more sense to get veetical and let gravity do the work. That tearing happens in horizontal births because there's so much
prolonged pushing and stretching going on that the skin just gives way, but it doesn't have to if you let gravity assist- the baby comes out smoothly and quickly (unless there are complications) with minimal damage. Horizontal births take way longer than they need to usually, which helps the doctor, but doesn't help mom or baby very much.
No. 169591
>>169531I had horrible chronic UTIs which turned into a pretty serious kidney infection at one point, even when I didn't have a sexual partner (though sex made it much more frequent). I went through tonnes of antibiotics but the thing that has consistently cured and kept UTIs away is taking d-mannose powder (not the tablets, they're full of filler and not potent enough). Try some from Amazon, three or four doses a day for a week and see if it helps. I just take it when I feel any kind of tingle (which is rare now!) and it works very quickly without wrecking my digestion or giving me thrush like antibiotics did. I don't suffer anymore. Way cheaper than the prescriptions I used to get too.
Literally changed my life anon, please try it if you haven't already. I know women who've been able to come off long term antibiotics because of it, and others who've treated antibiotic resistant UTIs too. If it doesn't work, try to get the specific type of bacteria causing the infection confirmed because it could be more serious or complicated than an e coli infection (the biggest cause of bacterial infection).
Also, consider using a bidet! I wash my parts every time I use the toilet and I think that helped reduce the incidence of tingles.

>>169566>It makes no sense that having a baby should rip you in half like that from an evolutionary standpointFunny you say that because it has been all but confirmed that women who gave birth through c-section had descendants with narrower hips, elasticity, etc. Also I really find amusing how giving birth vertically is not the norm nowadays when it's so obvious.

>>173558sorry if this seems presumptuous but it could be irritation from that part of your labia/vaginal entrance being stretched during sex or masturbation with insufficient lubrication, sometimes it just happens, even with foreplay, arousal and sufficient fluids or lube.
if you've been itchy or wearing any scratchy fabrics or sitting on something unclean after showering (idk, the floor or something, maybe a bath with water that's gotten dirty from soaking or week old sheets, lol. not saying you're dirty but pandemic has got some people kind of slob mode sometimes, i'm just rattling through potential causes you might remember thinking back) it could also be nonsexual irritation or a reaction to bacteria. i used to get that once in a while (sensitive vagina i think, i have very sensitive skin too) and it generally clears up on its own. sometimes a doc can prescribe an ointment if it burns/is sore but isn't infected and doesn't require treatment
you can also get something similar from wiping very hard with toilet paper or if you sleep with a (clean!) pad on and have
very heavy flow but it feels different, more of a dry painful burning sensation when you pee or when discharge comes into contact with the irritation
if you don't have symptoms of a yeast infection, no need for STI panel and it's not in actual pain i'd just give it a few days and see how you feel. you can also soak a clean cloth in warm water and press it to the area whenever you're in bed or chillin at home for some relief
not sure if you take baths but it's good to avoid bubble bath or epsom salts or any scented products if so. maybe switch to showers so you don't get soap residue on the site of the irritation
if it's still sore or scratchy or burns when you pee after that period you can call your gyno or GP and make sure everything is alright

i don't go for baths because i have sensitive skin and it makes me break out in hives every time. i really hope it is just me being autistic and too heavy handed when wiping, but i'll try everything you told me to, thanks again.
No. 173713
>>173651already replied to an anon here recently and i don't want to play internet gyno because it's obviously no substitute for actual medical advice but you might want to look into dysorgasmia, it's a type of pain that can occur during or just after orgasm (can last for anywhere between a few moments to hours). it's not… common per se, but it falls within the realm of a healthy female body that might not have some medical/reproductive health issue causing it
i get it a lot and i don't have penetrative (or any) sex, either. don't penetrate myself when masturbating either. sorry if TMI but relevant, i feel?
pap smears and testing have all been normal, as well. there could be another cause but maybe it's the same for you. hope you can find a gyno you feel comfortable with who listens to you and gives the care you need. i like to research any doctor i see or seek a referral to on those "rate my doctor" websites or relevant communities if it's a specialist of any kind, maybe that could set you at ease and help you feel confident shopping around for someone helpful and compatible
No. 174326
>>174321I've had 4 and I can give you my obnoxious list of what to expect/what you might wanna do:
-eat, drink and sleep well beforehand but nothing too heavy in case you feel faint or nauseous
-let your gyno know if you have any concerns about the speculum, the scraper or anything really
-pop a painkiller you would take during your period half an hour or so prior
-it doesn't hurt, I had a few done when I had something bad going on and it hurt about 50% more than with a healthy cervix and even then it was 2/10
-you may spot afterwards up to 2-3 days depending on your body and bleeding tendencies, usually you get a pad from the office just in case
-you may get instant period like cramps that last anywhere from few hours to few days, it's completely normal
Hope this helps, anon, it's not scary at all!

>>174489I'm in my thirties and I've never been able to tolerate direct clit stim, my hood or lips are always there as a barrier. If men make the mistake of pulling my hood back mid-oral that ruins the whole session.
Took me years to realise its not my body that is unusual… Those men have been given no constructive feedback when eating partners out. Few women want that really direct hood back stim. Men nust aren't learning that. Then we lay there wondering how grown men are torturing our clits (while he says his ex loved his skills lol) You're not in the minority.

No. 176208
>>176206Do you mean feeling insecure about it image wise?
I know porn viewing isn't exactly popular on here but when you see a range of what different vaginas look like you can either see the beauty in them or if not that.. you can at least see how much they vary while all being normal.
I used to worry alot because I have thick hair so going totally hairless is a pain with ingrowns and instant stubble growback. I wanted to leave my hair alone but had it in my head that that's not accepable. Noticed more women in amateur scenes were leaving it half hairy and they looked fine. They were still normal and desirable and getting laid without sweating it. Vaginas are about the most heavily desired thing on earth.
No. 176215
>>176210omg implying vaginas are in any way close to how ridiculously unappealing average dick is, I can't believe what I'm reading.
What helps feeling more secure is like other anons said, seeing real, non-porn vaginas. I remember I've only seen real vaginas in porn when I was young which made me insecure and at some point I happened to see an exhibition of some modern feminist artist, which, among other things, was displaying a collages of close up photos of vaginas. They were all so different, but all looked normal and good, it opened my eyes and felt empowering. People make fun of this kind of art, like -look at this crazy woman just showing pussies! - but for me as a young woman it was extremely important to see. Only underlines how rare it is to see what's completely natural and how messed up we are by porn.

Some tear theirs during childhood sports though, some feel nothing when it happens. Hymens come in different variations too so some arent too tough to get through. I bled but apparently some don't because it stretches rather than tearing. It's hard to know what's happening there without say trying a full sized toy. So basically you won't know until you're already in the act of tearing/stretching it anyway.

>>176370If your period is kinda unbearable you might want to ask your gyno about menstrual suppression through hormonal contraception. It's not for everyone and there can be side effects, but for many women the benefits are worth it and many don't feel any bad side effects at all.

I don't want to get too holding hands sat round the campfire kum-bay-ya in this thread but honestly, I believe every single vag is beautiful. I've struggled with the way mine looks over the years since I kind of have a larger labia but in the long run I think that's only made me love it more. it's not this ideal pussy coomer's talk about but I wouldn't want it to be! Idk if you're straight but normal guys literally do not care, women too. and if someone did care, they aren't worthy. I spent a bunch of time looking at myself in the mirror and getting to know what I really look like, that might help you too.
>>176215same for me! projects like laura dodsworth's 100 vulvas changed how I felt about myself in a huge way. it makes me so sad to think there are girls only seeing these porn certified vulvas and not the true wide spectrum of what women truly look like.

how do i push past the “i am gonna piss myself” feeling that makes me shut my legs involuntarily before orgasming? i have tried to with my bf who usually gets me close but then i HAVE to stop, it doesnt hurt at all, but it is a VERY OVERWHELMING ticklish feeling. i am afraid that i might make a weird face or noise or squirt all over his face. ive only had a couple little whispy orgasms. pls dont tell me to masturbate, it is boring and never has turned me on, i like being with somebody. i feel like i have the hugest ever orgasm crammed up in me that ive been saving for years (im 22) and i have never ever been able to get it out for the life of me.
anybody else have a hooded/embedded clitoris? it has always been hard for guys to find and i have never seen it because touching my hood makes me queasy. my vulva is an average size but the hood is very thick and noticably overly protective. any advice on how to handle this? my bf tries his hardest to get to stimulate it and he can but i get so overwhelmed and squirmy and start getting so nervous and loud. i have to make him stop even though i really do want to relax and let go. i almost feel like its a personality problem, like i just am generally anxious and uptight and dont like to let go. i will try next time to relax my pelvic floor muscles maybe? sometimes i cry and feel so broken that all the stuff i hear in the media about vaginas doesnt apply to me! i never fucking cared how my damn pussy looks, what is this clitoris thing all these women have and rub and have giant explosive orgasms ten times in a session that i see all these people online talking about! it makes me so insecure. my clit hides from me and ive confused every man ive been with from how impossible it is to find and i never orgasm and they feel like they cant pleasure me even though i enjoy sex a lot and it feels very good to me.
No. 183419
>>183416If you don't like masturbating because you need to be with somebody, maybe try masturbating with the other person there? I can't really tell you how to handle the hooded clitoris but I do feel like I know the overly sensitive feeling you describe. Maybe you should try keeping your panties on and having your bf stimulate you on top of that? The extra layer can reduce the sensitivity issue, at least that helped for me in the past.
Also idk what kind of stories you're hearing but I don't think most women just straight up go to town on their clitoris and orgasm for half an hour. It's very common for the clitoris itself to be too sensitive to rub outright. Imo a What seems most effective is to either rub on top of the hood or somewhere around the area so that the clit gets some indirect stimulation but isn't outright touched. If that shit doesn't work maybe try to get your bf to finger you and eat you out at the same time, everyone is different but for me that's a foolproof combo that always works.
>i am afraid that i might make a weird face or noise or squirt all over his faceSeriously get rid of that thought. Not being able to relax and enjoy the moment without thinking too much will kill your mood. Go pee beforehand if you're afraid that'll happen. If you know your bladder is empty there's no reason to hold back anymore and it's time to finally release those 22 years of backup. Womens sexuality and ability to reach orgasm is hugely dependent on feeling comfortable and being able to concentrate on the rythm. To me it sounds like you're overthinking everything during the act and that's pretty much the last thing you should do. (Easier said than done)
This is all just advice from personal experience and I don't know the extent of your issues with control and insecurity and letting go. If you feel that your problems stem more from these mental boundaries than physical ones, you're better off seeking professional help. Following what I'm describing here isn't going to do any harm at least, but I don't want to claim it'll fix everything if there's a more deep seated mental block there.
Honestly I know you think it's boring and don't want me to recommend this, but I think 'practicing' with masturbating will teach you a lot about what you like and your own body. With my own first bf we started doing sexual stuff way before I truly started masturbating beyond humping pillows, and looking back on it things would've been a thousand times easier and more satisfying if I wasn't so clueless about my sexual preferences.

I just finished having a full blown panic attack because I put my tampon in and it hurt in a way that threw me straight into flashbacks. That has never happened before and I feel kind of stupid that it did, especially because the incidents that caused me trauma happened nearly 20 years ago. I don't ever feel pain when I put my tampons in so it was really unexpected too.
It's frustrating feeling like old trauma still has a grasp on me despite getting help and learning how to cope. The occasional re-realization of having to deal with this my whole life is upsetting.
I wish I didn't have to wear tampons at all but my flow is so heavy until day 3 that just a pad is guaranteed mess. I know that's normal for the first couple days, but whatever. I just wanted to complain for a moment.

>>183581I think this is a disc, not a cup, anon. They're slightly different. Discs don't work via suction, they just kind of sit against your cervix in the groove of your vaginal canal right beneath it. Cups form an air-tight seal around your cervix.
Because of the way they sit against your cervix, a lot of discs "auto-dump" when they're full while you piss or shit. The pressure that passing waste places on your canal allows the disc to temporarily slip out of place and leak a tiny bit. A disc might actually be better for you if you have a heavy period or sensitive cervix.
If you're concerned about the mess, a few disc and cup companies have started to produce products with strings so you can pull that shit out like a tampon without getting your fingers all bloody.

But yeah, I read erotic fanfiction and fantasize in my head, but have never felt the need to masturbate. It feels too… artificial? IDK, I get too self-aware about it.

>>185975at least im not alone. i have had small orgasms and my bf gets me close every time but i always feel like im gonna piss myself so i stop. and i agree that it just feels "aritficial" too, it feels boring and incomplete.
>>185994not really from a religious background but i have some religious beliefs myself. i dont think theres a point in trying to change anybodys minds but personally i do think masturbation is just an incomplete form of sexual pleasure. farmers will call me crazy but i really would rather do anything but masturbate, what a boring chore. i would rather play with my bfs penis than my own vagina which is always available 24/7? again not telling anyone they are WRONG for masturbating but for me it's a very easy "no thanks, i would rather give and recieve sexual pleasure with someone i love"

>>186340Same anon as this post and I got myself a menstrual cup after reading some of the replies. My only problem now is that it wont pop open when i have it fully inserted (not on my period yet just wanted to try it out)
I tried the c fold

>>186706What brand of cup did you go for? The first cup I tried was great at just popping open without hassle but then it also gave me bladder emptying issues because it was a very hard silicone, especially at the rim.
When I switched to a softer cup I then found that they're harder to get open. Rotating the cup inside me usually works though. Just gripping the base, squeezing and turning it. Insert and twist basically

>>186701I don't know why you do that exactly but I do have a solution. I use an 'intimate moisturiser' aimed at menopausal women, because antidepressants wrecked my shit and I know the horrible internal chafing feeling you mean. Put it as high up inside as you can.
This actually stopped me getting recurrent yeast infections too, for anyone else with a desert pussy.

>>186842At my first pap smear I had cervical changes and tested positive for one of the bad strains of hpv. I had paps done with more frequency for the following 2 years to closely monitor it and then I eventually tested negative for the hpv. My immune system just cleared it.
I remember when I tested positive the nurse told me not to start smoking, to keep my stress levels in check and to just generally look after myself so my immune system could hopefully kick it. Getting that news was super stressful so I'm surprised I even cleared it.
Did they not recommend that you keep your smear tests closer together now to keep an eye on it? That's what they should do. You monitor it closely and if changes reach a certain point they can jump in early and burn/laser them. Sorry that you're dealing with both that news and that treatment.

>>186917>>186918I'm not being silly ma, I swear.
getting checked for hpv was my first experience with the gynecologist and it was traumatic. She didn't even seem to care or want to help and chased me off because I annoyed (disgusted?) her. I just need time to find a decent doctor..
Thanks a lot for the reassurance and info though, glad you guys are okay hopefully it's nothing on my side either.

Reading about the menstrual cup sent me into a spiral about reading up more about it then I somehow landed on an article about how it prolapsed some women's pelvic floor and it made me take out my cup. What are the chances of this happening to menstrual cup users? Im getting a bit…worried here
>>187043Your body just does that. Happened to me a lot of the times and it sometimes comes when you least expect it or it could be stress.

>>187102It happens when you don't break the seal and just pull straight out. Suction = pulling stuff.
You'll feel it happening. Don't be stupid, break the seal. Truth be told, I always pull straight but I have a strong pelvic floor from kegels, and I can also feel when to stop and break the seal instead.

>>187043some natural ways to bring on a late period:
make parsley tea. buy a bunch of fresh parsley. put some (at least two tablespoons, but I just used two of the 'branches') in a cup and pour boiling water over it. Drink often - at least 3x a day. Once this worked for me; once it didn't.
Tumeric is another option. I bought cinnamon/turmeric teabags and drank about 3-4 cups one day. Spotted the next day (drank 3 more cups) and started the day after that.
You can also try sex or masturbating.
Vitamin C is a myth, though; there's no scientific reason that should work.

>>184462it's weird, I have a cyst in this area too, I think. I asked my dr and she said to leave it alone. If it gets infected it will be painful, but she said it will go away on its own (in her opinion). It has shrunk a lot.
There were two days I thought I'd have to go back to the dr because it hurt a lot & I was worried about infection. But I toughed it out and left it alone and it's nearly gone now.
I actually learned something new because of this cyst. Mine is in the Skene's gland duct, directly next to the clitoris. The function of the Skene's gland is debated but it is thought to be the source of female ejaculation fluid (note: this is not thought to be the same as 'squirting'). The more I read about it, the more I thought it was pretty interesting and I hope we learn more about these glands.

>>187140Not to be a retard, but I thought the skene’s gland ducts we’re on either side of the urethra, not the clitoris…? (Pic related).
That said, I’ve been trying to figure out what the two tiny holes on either side of my clit are (also in picrel, the two blue dots) for a long time and have never been able to find any answers even after researching for a long time.
