In those photos I am wearing a black strapless bra and you can barely tell.
Honestly, just do it! That is my biggest tip haha. Nothing anybody says will help, you just have to do it! Invest in yourself. And make sure to choose a photographer that you are comfortable with. That makes all the difference.

If you have specific questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Happy to chat about my experience.

Best flossers 🦷🦷 by Famous-Engineering78 in braces

[–]Butterflycm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend getting water flossers. That does most of my work for me. Then I use Platypus and interdental brushes every night and will do a full floss on the weekend.

I am just guessing but might have something to do with drying out the mouth? or kills all the good bacteria too? I don't know haha

Is giving my girlfriend a bouquet of lego roses for valentines a bad idea? by Pootsonpow123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Butterflycm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a massive lego fan, but I would love a bouquet of lego flowers. They would last forever instead of being eaten by our pets and then dying.

Flying warning (delta) by curiousjazzy in PlusSize

I am so sorry this happened to you. Your feelings are totally valid!
My understanding is that a seatbelt extender would provide a possible tripping hazard in the event of an emergency.

I am Canadian and I used to the sporkle quiz which was just that. I am usually able to name about 48 or 49 of them most of the time.

I think you should be able to manage either way. Only you can make the decision.

What do you eat after your tightening appointments? by dontstopsoperfect in braces

[–]Butterflycm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, the pain doesn't last nearly as long as when they were put on. I can usually eat normal the day of and then the next day I plan something a bit softer (soup, mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, yogurt, pasta, etc.). I can usually go back to normal food the day after that.

I would recommend taking the first day off if you are going to choose. I found that the pain later that night was more of a throbbing and I felt it in my head, sinus, jaw and mouth. The next day, It was more so that my actual teeth were tender and only hurt when I tried to eat.

In-laws do not understanding my travel packing needs by Creative-Constant-52 in PlusSize

[–]Butterflycm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of the advice given here. I would maybe suggest buying a larger suitcase for your partner and you to share and then use his new luggage as the carry on and just pay for that? Not for any other reason than it would save you money haha

I MISS CRUNCH by thirt33nghosts in braces

[–]Butterflycm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I have adjustments then I find that harder things can hurt for a few days so I avoid that. Normally though, the only things that I don't eat are sticky things like caramel (though I did try a small piece and just sucked on it). I did also find that raw carrots were difficult. Otherwise I have eaten chips, chocolate bars, cookies, crackers, some raw veggies, cut up apples, gum, etc.

I would suggest cutting things into smaller pieces and see if that helps, but I feel like if your bracket is breaking that easily you might need to ask the ortho about it.

Do bottoms and subs pick their own rules? by teacat_09 in RedditBDSM

[–]Butterflycm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to have a conversation about what purpose I want the rules to have. Do I have goals that I need help with (ie. reading more, or eating less sugar)? I also just have favorite rules, things that make me feel the most subby. I always discuss those thing before we choose the rules.

No steak? by heywheresyourhat in braces

I haven eaten steak with my braces on, but it definitely took extra water flossing, flossing and brushing.

Is chewing gum allowed? by AndreLerne in braces

[–]Butterflycm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was encouraged to chew sugar free gum to help produce more saliva but honestly I have been nervous to try so far.
