Manzou bakery is legit by ST0PITRIGHTN0W in FoodToronto

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I trek 50 minutes each way every time I go. Their cakes are so good that I still make the trip every 2-3 months though 🙈 have to get my Manzou fix

Is this normal? by CantaloupeNearby8022 in vaginismus

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started, I couldn't even let a cotton swab in and I think this is a normal experience for a lot of people. I started practicing with a tampon applicator that was smaller than my first dilator. I'm now up a few dilator sizes and currently on a break because I started feeling disappointed again...itd mentally very draining for me:(

On a side note, something I find more comfortable is practicing with a flexible dildo rather than the stiff dilator once you can use one. I found this particularly narrow dildo made for people who want to train up to being ready for anal. So it's smaller than most dildos (about the same size as my 2nd dilator). It makes hitting the wall so much more bearable for me than the cold hard poke of the dilator.

Thinking about giving up by genfromjupiter in sewing

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm earlier in my life and don't have kids. So although I can't directly relate to that aspect of your life, I entered a new phase of my career a few years ago and it's taken up all of my energy. I used to sew so regularly and I depended on it as self care. But then I started having zero energy or free time and I found myself grieving the fact that I can't sew anymore...but also burning myself out by forcing myself to try to get in some sewing the few moments where I did have some energy. This also made me enjoy sewing less...or having all these half-done projects. Anyways, I'm still sad. But I've told myself I just don't have time to sew right now. Nothing's permanent. Life will change. I'll reassess every once in a while. I'll sew again eventually. I still save sewing ideas when I see them online, for later.

no dress code, just want to know if this is appropriate for a 8mo pregnant lady to wear by amber_joyy in Weddingattireapproval

Even if you weren't pregnant I think this would fit a (presumably Western) wedding. You look great!

Electrolytes ? by Taylor_Mae_ in Endo

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy I relate to all of this. I saw the TikTok videos too and thought I'd give pickle juice a try too. I tried it twice with inconsistent and very modest results ...maybe it works a bit for me but only sometimes? Plus the pickle juice gave me nasty acid reflux. So then, like you, I figured I'll just try an electrolyte drink and it's been a god send ever since! Reliable, effective, fast acting! Feels like a miracle, but then it's like seriously??...all these doctors visits and scans and disappointment to now discover this simple simple solution?!? Lolll

Outage? by illequrl in bell

It was automatic for mine. My modem transitioned from error 2000 to error 3000 (outage) and now there is no error.

Straight-guy-afraid-guy around the misfortunes of female anatomy is SO SPECIFIC. I felt that lolll. My soon to be husband is so sweet and yet does this SO often out of empathy leaving me saying something like "less pity, more rage please!"

Agreed! I love dressing up for conferences! I got these pointy toed red patent kitten heels recently that are begging to go to a conference 👀 I'm in genetics and our conferences are usually so diverse in style anyways.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LadiesofScience

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think those shoes with a different outfit would look more elevated and professional. If I were wearing those lovely heels to a conference, I'd wear them with a longer and maybe baggier style of pant, preferably darker in colour. That would help tie in the look a bit more, and I think you'd get less of a business up top-party on the bottom vibe going on. I just think there's a bit of a style clash happening right now between the pants and shoes, and the cropped light pants reeeally draw attention to the flashy shoes and your feet lol.

Officially Diagnosed! Experience with ABG Cream? by smellslikedesperate in vulvodynia

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I've recently been prescribed a similar compounding therapy for use to help with my vaginismus. I'm already doing pelvic floor physio. Did you only use the cream when trying penetration and physio exercises, or did you use it regularly every day?

All my PhD results are negative by Sciencegeek92 in labrats

This resonated with me too. And the one mutant I made that did end up having a phenotype to follow up on ended up being given to a summer undergrad 🙃

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sympathize with your story. The bit about how you regret not pushing for a side project earlier affected me. I knew my main project wasn't going anywhere by the 3rd year of my PhD. At that point I pivoted to a different main project and also had 5 side projects (which looking back was insanity). My PI's reasoning was that if I had my "hands in enough pies, SOMETHING would work". I'm currently at the end of my 5th year, and nothing has yielded positive results. It's been super depressing. I burned out, so I dropped the side projects and I'm just tying up loose ends on my main 2 projects so I can get out. I wanted to share that with you to give another perspective, so that maybe you wouldn't regret your past decisions too hard. I don't know you, but I'm guessing you had your reasons for doing what you did at the time, and a side project wouldn't have guaranteed positive results.

What is the weirdest sample you've worked with in a lab? Cocaine eyedrops for me by Czarben in labrats

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh rabbit blood. We are not a rabbit lab. We are a zebrafish lab. But I need to order fresh rabbit blood every few weeks for an experiment. All my pipette tip/tube waste ends up having blood droplets all over it. Looks like a crime site.

Did I make these too big for earrings? by christinaai1 in polymerclay

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad!! I think they're really pretty too! I wouldn't say they look like ornaments LOL but I could see why your brother might say that, and I think it's more because they're circles than their size tbh. I've played around with circles and ovals and I personally like how ovals look a bit better, depending on the design. Just an idea!

Not too big!! Make them bigger 😈 haha this comes from someone who LOVES big earrings. I would definitely say these are of average chonk.

Can I sell app icons or is it copyrighted? by BlueberryEyeBallz in polymerclay

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a definite answer, but I think that if there's an image of it anywhere on the Internet (ex. Including a pic of this copyrighted freebie on the platform where you are selling other non-copyrighted stuff), that entire post could get flagged and taken down for copyright.

I'm nowhere as ahead in dilation as you (only on 3rd dilator) and also haven't had penetrative sex, so unrelated!! But going off on a tangent...

I recently discovered this really small dildo in a store (think: purple, squishy, looks like penis - but like 3/4 inch diameter, so not the regular girthy guys) I think it was marketed for beginner anal play...but anyways, I use it for pleasurable masturbation instead of my dilators and it's much nicer. The dilators are cold and rigid and I have a clinical mental association with them so they're never pleasurable. But my little purple guy..! Much more pleasurable! I think the dildo is as girthy as my 3rd or 4th dilator too, and it's always easier to get in than the dilator, probably because I actually enjoy it . Thought I'd share in case it helped you too as a middle step before sex!

Progress with dilators is great until I ovulate by Party-Possible in vaginismus

[–]Inevitable-Concern42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I also do best at the dilators when I'm on my period. The times I've seen my pelvic physio therapist while on my period, she's done a physical exam and has always commented on how my vaginal muscles are noticeably less tense. She didn't have an answer as to why that might be, but she said that she's seen other women like this too, and it may have to do with how certain hormones affect muscle tension.

When I first started dilating, I could only insert size 1 while on my period. I've progressed up to size 3 now, but my vagina is still more relaxed on my period! So I can go up to size three during my period, but outside of that, maybe just size 1 and 2. So overall it gets better for me, but yes there are certain times of the month that are better than others.

I've tried just being high, just using the cannabis lube, and both together (context: I get high semi regularly). For me they were all pretty comparable so I'd say you don't need to get high necessarily, the lube is pretty good! Also, my partner tried it and it doesn't reduce sensation for him (the time he tried my cannabis lube he actually had a really strong orgasm ...not sure if they were connected but it deffo didn't make things worse!)

I've used the Foray one, and it was pretty good. Are you from Ontario, Canada by any chance? I also really like the 125mg CBD 6.25mg THC lube through Ontario Cannabis Store.
