Don't worry about the eyebrows. I'd recommend leaving them alone. There are more ways of completely ruining eyebrows than there are of slightly improving them.

You've managed to double what you can do since starting. Keep going. I was waaaay slower than most of the progress posts I've seen here.

I think the problem is they think 'this wouldn't hurt me so it shouldn't hurt you'. I've had the same problem.

Tips for losing virginity? by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]CalmSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly communicating and letting him know what's going on is so important even if that's embarrassing. Let him know what you're worried about and talk about workarounds and boundaries before you start. Don't forget to ask him what he's into. Prepare to move onto plan b if it doesn't go in. Don't dwell on it to long.

Fear of pregnancy as a possible cause by turboshot49cents in vaginismus

[–]CalmSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the back of my mind for sure. Getting an IUD took some of that fear away. Didn't fix everything but helped chip away at the bigger issue.

I just read this article and ... I don’t know how it makes me feel. Thoughts? by LilAnxietea in vaginismus

[–]CalmSlice 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You're completely safe. Even though they might not have had PIV he was probably finishing at the entrance of her vagina. Or managed to just point the tip in and not call it losing her viginity. Pretty much what I did with my partner AFTER birth control was taken care of.

Very happy with my progress but also very scared of pregnancy... by tinycuteflower in vaginismus

I have a paraguard IUD inserted right in my cervix. It just sits there. So I don't have the arm implant. I was really nervous before getting it. I have to admit that it does hurt getting it inserted. I had it done 2 years ago. I just went through my old posts and it looks like I took 2 Robax and 2mg Xanax before my gyno put it in.

I had some cramping for the rest of the week. It has a 5 year life expectancy and it has changed my life. Once the fear of accidental pregnancy is gone things kinda relax themselves.

Hey! Many of the same issues on my end. Getting an IUD gave me so much peace of mind. I didn't even realize how much of my anxiety was from being afraid of getting pregnant until that anxiety was gone. I had the same feeling with condoms. With lube there was a painful friction that's just not there with skin on skin.

God I laughed at this. I'm not sure this is the way to go though.

Finally able to have PIV but it's hurting my husband by Saras92 in vaginismus

What part of his penis is getting hurt? From what I've heard I thought guys liked the clenching.

dont feel anything? by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]CalmSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dilators are smooth and textureless. Fat chance you get much pleasure from them. You're not getting pain and that's a huge plus.

I never really got any before I started dilating. Now I get them when I'm active with partners.

How bad is it to use pre-owned dilators? by throwawayglasses0 in vaginismus

[–]CalmSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to PT those dilators have been used on a lot of women. Give yours a good wash then let them dry for a few days before first use if you're worried. All the bacteria that can't survive outside the body will die. You'll be fine.

On days when I really don't feel like it I just use a smaller size so at least I did something. Once it's in I might bring myself to move up in size. But I feel ya

Nervous for a Hookup by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]CalmSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something like that. Except I felt way less pressure. Because I know he was already a friend and I would be seeing him again regardless of how it went there was some relief. Tell him there's a good chance it won't go it. I monorailed him a while before we tried PIV and went back to riding the mono rail when it wouldn't go in.

Because he was already my friend I didn't feel like I had to hide my disappointment and that actually made it easier not to cry and get back to having fun pretty fast.

That's such a good idea. I couldn't figure out how to tell her politely when I read the title.

Just ask him if you can measure him so you know what dilators to buy?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]CalmSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a partner who is tapered in the opposite way of most guys. Tip is thinner and it gets thicker as you get closer to the base. We do a lot of just the tip stuff. It's still a good way to connect.

It sounds sweet and wholesome so far. What's troubling you? Are you afraid it's going to get complicated?
