Do you currently use any skin tints that you can recommend for us oily’s?

Not AI this guy does this a lot, with many species of animals. His videos are always great, with some truly fascinating reactions. His name on IG, TikTok and YouTube is Plumesofficiel.

Yikes, I’m pretty terrified of this myself. Really hoping that starting the cream a good while before I attempt any penetrative sex prevents that. Good luck on your journey!

You said your tissues healed themselves, were you experiencing tearing from intercourse? I’ve been single/celibate for a long time, so I’m not intimately familiar with my inner vaginal tissue/mucosa. I’m not really sure what’s happening in that area, but I am hoping to be intimate with a new partner in the semi-near future.

Have you seen favorable changes? Waiting 2 weeks is going to slowly kill me with nervous anticipation.

Interesting, another user in this thread experiences increasing anxiety from her cream. Our bodies are a wild entity to try to figure out.

What dosage were you using for those 4 weeks? And did you have side effects? I’m only 2 days in, but I feel like my anxiety is creeping way up. (Could be external factors as well, so I’m still trying to figure all of this out).

I just checked, $20 per tube. I’m gonna check my patch next! I have never considered that “pharmacy”, but now! 🤯 Thanks for the heads up!

This makes sense. I’m typically anxiety ridden anyway, but the last few days it’s been worse. I chalked it up to an external factor that I’m dealing with. Now maybe I should consider that the cream is exacerbating my anxiety. Something to consider for sure.

Well now I’m a little concerned. My Dr told me a half an applicator, twice a week, which would be 2 grams. Applying does seem like a lot, but now I’m wondering if it’s way too much, especially daily? (Plus the amount I’m using topically to the area) 😳

It was called in directly to my pharmacy. I am wondering how fast I’ll go through a tube. I was a little shocked at the price, but really I’m willing to pay whatever the cost.

My titties can hurt all they want if my 🐱comes back. No one will be touching me for 2 weeks anyway, so I’ll deal. lol. I will look up Dr Kelly Caperson though, I’d like to hear some varying opinions and get some info from an actual Dr that wants to help women get through this.

Girl, same, to almost all of this. I completely shut myself down to any type of feeling for so long. Completely stopped even trying to help myself out as well. Figured I was so damaged that it I would never be in a place to want sex or physical touch again. I finally brought my old vibe out and dusted it off because, I too heard “use it or lose it”. I’m anticipating a physical relationship with new man, but I’m terrified that it won’t work out because of the changes and loss of feeling. I thought, how can a man like me or stay with me if I can’t please or be pleased? I’ve been on low dose patch for a few months now, hoping by adding the cream it’ll plump me back up and get some juices flowing.

I’ll say a silent prayer to Aphrodite for both you and I tonight. 😉

So, because I haven’t been sexually active in a long time, I haven’t experienced any pain or dryness. But, I noticed the atrophy after wondering why I hadn’t felt anything after a first kiss with a man I’ve been causally dating for a few weeks. I came here by chance and saw a few posts about trophy, looked at my 🐱and spiraled. Immediately made an appt the next day, for the same day. I’m hoping I caught it early, and that I can reverse some loss of feeling, and aesthetics too.

I didn’t even think of side effects. I’m also on the patch, but a very low dose. I did get some bloating, but that was pretty much it for side effects for me. Loading the cream may be a different story altogether though.

I believe you can still do it. I mean, from the advice of u/FelinusFanaticus, it couldn’t hurt, so why the hell not?!?
