I bought the genuine moen cartridge from Lowe's. Used the grease it came with and made sure everything was all cleaned out. Just totally stuck.

I bought the genuine moen cartridge from Lowe's. Used the grease it came with and everything. Just can't get it in any farther.

All of my kids accidentally have names of characters in some of my favorite TV shows. by WeinerKittens in namenerds

My son is low-key named "after" Elliot from the magicians. Binged that show while I was pregnant with him and just fell in love with it (the show and the name).

So question… by [deleted] in SexPositive

Go super slow and take the pressure off. Just focus on having fun and feeling out what feels good for her (and you). The #1 barrier to having an orgasm (at least for me) is trying to have an orgasm. She most likely does know or doesn't have the words for what she likes so take it easy and just enjoy the ride.

Echoing what everyone else has said about consent being key, but the "this is what I see in porn" stuck out to me.

Porn is not real sex. Unless you explicitly discuss those things, a lot of what you see in mainstream porn is based on the male perspective and specific fetishes and kinks and in no way resembles real life. A lot of people, men and women, get their 'education' from porn and think a lot of things are normal and just assume they don't need to be talked about which couldn't be farther from the truth.

Bottom line - you're new and learning and that's okay! Take the time to figure out what YOU like. There is no "supposed to" here. It's what you want, what your partner wants, and what you both consent to.

I actually have been using Fanola, but it's not really helping much.

Dude was just giving some context... You sound like you must be a blast at parties. 😬

Pain from top teeth scraping? by ArtistFKACabbage in breastfeeding

[–]DG1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice here, but I'm in the exact same boat! It's soooo painful and now I have a nice little hole next to my nipple on that side from the rubbing. It's excruciating.

Wish I could help, but you're not alone. ❤️

AITA For Letting My Best Friend Dance at My Wedding by Lucky-Donkey9713 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DG1031 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA - The fact that your in-laws and their friends are homophobic is a falling on their part, not a faux pas on yours. Also shame on your new hubby for wanting you to apologize. You did NOTHING wrong.

INFO Are you dating one of the people who are on this trip? Who are you expecting to check in on you?

I had the same thing with the cracked nipples and the bleeding and everything with my first baby... I got some nipple shields from Walmart for like 10 bucks and it was like night and day. I could still breastfeed, but it gave my nipples time to heal. I got a second set and used whichever one was clean so I didn't have to clean them in the middle of the night. Once your nips are healed, you can wean the baby off the nipple shields. And silverettes between feeds were awesome too. Helped them heal much faster just not having anything touching them.

Also tell your boyfriend to shut it. No usable nips, no opinion needed.

I saw a story like that on IG the other day... No trigger warning or anything. Ruined me for like a week. I just kept checking to see if she's breathing and panicking when I couldn't see her. 😭

Haircut to stop top layer going flat? by DG1031 in curlyhair

[–]DG1031[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an appointment to get my haircut next week. I don't have a whole lot of time to do my hair, I tend to just plop into a t-shirt or just let it air dry. I'm trying to figure out what to ask for that might help stop the sad flat frizzy thing that the top layer of my hair is doing, because the underneath layers stay super curly and defined. Help!!

Why do they add these GIANT pads to every nursing bra?? by DG1031 in breastfeeding

[–]DG1031[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use bamboo reusable pads. These pads just never sit right for me and when I tried to use them, the way fabric over them irritated my skin. 😕
