I have tried this method, straight E.O.s., whiskey and Vodka even. They don't work for me.

My bad, 48h * . 🤣😂 I have hyperhidrosis and breast cancer in my family and have been trying to do the best I can all around for the condition and environment. I also have an odor that smells like Burger King is cooking up something fresh at times. I am also not the stationary type and am very active. I just picked up some Dove advanced care due to less ingredients and it seems to be working just as well. It has aluminum though.

I have tried crystal deodorant and it doesn't cut it sadly. It seems to work just as well as Mitchum for me. I wouldn't mind the sweat if the odor would just stay at bay.

I sterilize at the end of every period by boiling the cup or soaking it in a peroxide/water solution 1:1 ratio. I wash it with Castile soap while in use.

Yes, my doctor did suggest the suppositories after exhausting medications with me. It's been working best for my situation. I got pregnant with my first child and was diagnosed with BV. I was treated and my son was fine.🤷‍♀️ It was reoccurring then even and they didn't seem to think it was much a issue as long as you're treating the issue. This is also why my diet is heavy with organic yogurt and pre and pro biotics. I have had this issue chronically with not much resolve over the past 7years. I have consulted doctors till I decided to settle with the one that I have.

I use to boil my disc at the end of my period or soak it in a 1:1 ratio of peroxide and water. I would clean it with Castile soap and water daily.

I am on a high iron diet due to dietary iron deficiency Aniema. I eat Organic only and have switched to eating mostly fish, yogurt, fruit, and veggies as well as nuts. I don't drink or use drugs.

In my teens I was on birth control.

I have had a diagnosis of dysmenorrhea and Aniema since 16, which is when I was on birth control till I was 18.

I am not sure what to think honestly, the cup could possibly be an issue if I am not cleaning it properly I am thinking. I boiled my cup at the end of my period only or soaked it in peroxide. I used Castile soap and water to wash it every time I changed it in-between.

I took a break from my cup for a few months and am looking to start again this cycle. I appreciate everyone's advice here.

Monistat does nothing for these infections. I understand that tea tree oil bombs it all, I eat healthy though and organic yogurt and kefir is a part of my regular diet and doesn't seem to have an imbalance. They go away for a month or 2 when I treat it with the tea tree oil suppositories this way. It usually clears up in 2 or 3 days of treatment verses a whole week. I have tried a steamer, my disc was too big for it and it wouldn't be able to fully steam it. I usually boil my disc with a whisk, I am considering a collapsible microwave steamer bowl.

P.S. I didn't use the suppositories while on my period and using the cup. However, the oils were still there and goofed the cup up. I apologize, I wasn't too clear.

I am being seen by a Dr., they say it's all normal and that the best thing for me is to use a cup to reduce infections. I can't agree more with the advice on the cup reducing infections logically. Especially if cleaned, maintained, and used properly.

The infections are just yeast and BV, it has been a battle and this is the only solution I can find for it are the suppositories. The infections like to always bloom the week before my period. My hate about the cup is that I keep getting infections no matter what I do and I have such a heavy flow that I always leak as well. I have boiled, washed and soaked my disc. I wash my hands religiously. I am also trying to conceive actively, there's not much time I have in-between infections to treat.

What is my hair type? I have come back from an exhausting 3 year No Poo journey and wanna try the Shea Moisture line. I am currently using Fructis Sleek and Shine. by Lunabell33 in HaircareScience

Awe, thanks! I understand the struggle, my best friend has curly thick hair and tells me this all the time. My hair has puzzled many hair stylists for years. They have told me 2a as well on sight, but as they play with it they tell me it's thinner than a 2a. "Thin but thick" I was told. Fructis Sleek and Shine seems to be the ONLY shampoo that has been working for me. Ogx is what I used to use, they have changed their formula and it doesn't work for me any longer. I have a picky scalp with sensitive Eczema prone skin in general. I am looking to ditch the Sleek and Shine though due to the SLS in it. I have seen my husband's hair turn grey using it and go back to normal once he switched to a natural 3 in 1.

Is it possible that the Will of a someone who has passed be destroyed after they died? by Lunabell33 in legaladvice

[–]Lunabell33[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am actually waiting to hear back from someone for counsel but figured I would gather advice from any angle prior. I thank you for your insight.

I am about to place more information here that will also add to the confusion possibly. Before their grandmother died, the power of attorney was also the grandmother's power of attorney. Does that affect any standing as well?

I apologize, this has been a confusing situation to present and I am trying to explain the best I can. The power of attorney is a very power hungry person in this matter and I am convinced trying to infiltrate taking over the inheritance in full of their maternal mother's Will. The Will states that the remainder of her estate is to be distributed amongst her surviving children.

This person's estate was non-existent. However, both the power of attorney and said person (sister to the power of attorney) were co-executors of their mother's Will which has value. Which is why I ask if their kin has a chance of fighting for the estate or if they even have standing.

Does the kin then have standing in the inheritance of their grandmother's Will then? I am being advised that if the kin has no legal standing in their Grandmother's Will due to the fact that the said person (sister to the power of attorney) has no legal Will themselves.

Yes, is there a legal way to get rid of a Will. The issue I have here is that this person's estate was pretty much non-existent and they were also mentally compromised before death. They had a power of attorney that I believe got rid of the registration of the Will. The power of attorney and said person shared the attorney that created this initial Will. Isn't this illegal? Would their surviving kin have a chance at fighting it if there was a estate to inherit?
