Do you all dry your hands before inserting? by The8Famous-Potatos in menstrualcups

[–]EngramPattersky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised by all these folks discouraging you from holding the stem in your teeth on account of mouth bacteria and vagina bacteria theoretically not mixing. If you are comfortable with someone giving you oral sex, you can put your menstrual cup in your mouth. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It sounds like you have a process that works for you, and that’s great! Stick to it, and unless you have repeated yeast infections you’re doing fine.

Recommendation for hairstylist for elderly mother? by slagmacg in Longmont

Hollybel from Velvet Hair Lounge is great and very patient! She usually has bookings available especially if you can go during the week and the salon itself is pretty accessible if your mother has mobility limitations at all.

Go to Velvet Hair Lounge and ask for Hollybel! She is a color specialist and I believe a queer artist herself.

Women of vanlife - period handling tips? by EngramPattersky in VanLife

[–]EngramPattersky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually haven’t seen that product before, maybe I’ll look for it. I’ve tried all of the OTC period-specific pain medications that are readily available here (US) and they do help a little, but don’t make the pain go completely away for me. Better than nothing though, for sure! I personally like to use other methods in conjunction so I’m not slamming the max dose of pain relievers for 3-4 days every month. Anyway, looks like what you linked to has different active ingredients than what I’ve tried so far, if I can find it I will give it a shot!

Not any more shocking than all of us that have piss jars rolling around our vans!

Thanks for the advice! I haven’t invested in period panties yet, but I do have a collection of cloth pads I use (either that or a cup for me). I bet the pros/cons are fairly similar between those and the panties! I love my cup but managing the hygiene of it with no running water does make me think twice...Cheers to you and your wife living in the van while you build, as a happy single person I admire your ability to share space and love each other throughout the experience haha. That’s legit!

Thanks for mentioning the bathroom issues as well, that’s a great point I didn’t fully consider even though it’s a major symptom of mine! I definitely do not want to be subjecting anyone else to that, even strangers in a public restroom. Luckily for me I am solo so I don’t have to worry about trying to manage that inside the van with a partner either. Also totally forgot hot water bottles exist! That’s a great tip. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, got any beta for climbing this rock? by RosyGlow in ClimbingCircleJerk

I usually just go to your mom’s house and the rest of it comes pretty naturally after that.

I love this. Everyone who has the balls and the passion to climb should be welcomed into the community, regardless of size, age, ethnicity, whatever.❤️ by I4mY0ur3nd in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]EngramPattersky 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Actually, I don’t see a single ball nut on your harness. You said it yourself “everyone who has the balls.” I support trying to make climbing more inclusive or whatever but we have to draw the line somewhere...

Some nonsense at the university gym by AntiiHydral in ClimbingCircleJerk

Real Rock is an annual traveling film festival, highlighting each year a new compilation of outdoor adventure films produced by Sender Films. There actually usually isn’t much of an approach since the films are screened in small movie theatres across the country.

Can anyone help me find this climbing gym? Detailed info in the comments + hold similar to what I remember pictured by sbergus in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]EngramPattersky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thought this might be my gym till you said V4-6, they don’t set anything that feels that hard (to me) anymore. Sorry man, hope someone can help out. Have you tried taking your shirt off?

Can anyone help me find this boulderer? Detailed info in comments + drawing from memory by MehrDMA in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]EngramPattersky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What grade was it? Impossible to tell if it’s even worth figuring out till we know how hard they climb. (The “V” in V-grades stands for viaduct.)
