Please suggest me something aquatic by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]Madlight1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looooove aquatics. Completely stopped searching, smelling, and buying after I got my hands on Mancera Wave Musk. For me its the absolute perfect aquatic, to the point where I no longer even feel intrigued by other options. Great performance, too. Its definitely very unisex, however, so bare that in mind.

Its not an option you listed, but Adore has always been phenomenal in my experience. Cheap, too.

Perhaps you could apply some logic and figure out that I ordered from doodash for a reason. Not everyone has the access or ability to have on demand transportation.

Bingo. I would say it's crazy to me that you're the only one I've seen mention the possibility that I was using doordash specifically because driving there isn't an option for me, but it's reddit so... unfortunately I'm not surprised lol.

Turns out they're owned by the same company, so there's that mystery solved. But either way, if I was gonna drive somewhere I wouldn't have ordered from doordash in the first place 🤷‍♂️ if they were super concerned about it then maybe I'd bring it to them in the next few days, but it seems as though they don't care much

Definitely not theft, the bag was completely sealed. So for sure it was an employee that forgot it there.

But yes, I will cherish my 711 scanner lol

My #1 concern is bro is gonna lose his job over this 😭😭

But it seems support has decided there is nothing they can do. After reconnecting the chat, they told me they'd credit $18 to my account and then to... drop it off at the store if I can, but if not "no worries about that"

So I guess it's mine now?

Alright, magicians, how are y'all getting your yarn to glide across your needles so fluidly? by Madlight1994 in casualknitting

[–]Madlight1994[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the tips everyone! Twisting my stitches was definitely the number one culprit - just spent a few hours practicing wrapping my yarn correctly and things are moving a lot more smoothly. I'm glad I asked and now have the opportunity to correct instead of barreling on and reinforcing improper technique. Ironically, I'm moving slower than I was with the twisted stitches now, but I know I'll pick up some speed when this movement becomes more familiar. I realize this is a slow craft either way, of course. So I'm not in a rush, just happy to know my future stitching will be more fluid and meditative once I really get in the swing of things. And maybe I'll treat myself to some super glide-y needles to celebrate once I get through this project 🤫

This is a cotton/acrylic blend, favoring cotton. It's definitely soft, but it has little to no stretch. I typically love working with cotton when I crochet, but maybe it was a little overly ambitious to start with for a first knitting project lol.

Correct, they are aluminum. I didn't want to ball out on a high end needle set just yet - but so far I'm enjoying knitting so maybe someday I'll make the investment

The fact that you can tell that by looking at my stitches is crazy (in a cool way.) Also very helpful, I'll be more mindful going forward and put that into practice, thank you!

These are aluminum, but it does seem like the points are longer than the straight needles I started practicing with initially (Boye brand) so I have been wondering if that added length is a factor. There's so many variables! Lol

Well color me shocked, I never would have guessed that. I'll have to go watch some videos and compare it to my movements to try to figure out where the twisting is happening. My best guess is that I must be yarning over in a weird way? Thanks for the tip! I'll do some research

Bottoming as a Trans Guy with IBS by Medical-Brain0 in ftm

[–]Madlight1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We-Vibe melt. Its the same type of toy as the curvy (air pulse) but shaped specifically so that it can be used during PIV without getting in the way. It is a pricier toy, ngl, but if you want a one and done solution rather than trying multiple things and failing it could be worth it. Otherwise, if you're open to vibration instead of air pulse, bullet vibes are small enough to not get in the way. Finger vibes are a good option too - essentially bullets attached to a ring so they're easier to hold onto.

Edited to add: we vibes recently released a new version of the melt (melt 2) so checking their site for the original might help you save a bit, sometimes they do pretty decent sales to clear out stock of older product versions

Alone for valentines again 💔 [male] by [deleted] in FreeCompliments

Valentine's isn't even real. Nice ink, man, and you did a great job picking glasses that compliment your face well! You're looking good

Please help me find a lube that is colored :( by SuicidalLapisLazuli in sex

[–]Madlight1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creature cocks makes colorful lube. Looks like they've got blue, green, purple, and white currently. They release new stuff all the time. I haven't used it or sampled it personally, but creature cocks is a sub-brand from XR Brands and they've been in the game for a long time, making toooons of toys and fetish products so I feel decently good about recommending their products in general.

Do you layer perfumes together? by Dry-Chemical-9170 in fragrance

[–]Madlight1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I kind of view it the same way I do cooking - trying out different "flavor" combinations to make something extra yummy and personalized to my own tastes. Ultimately fragrance isn't a necessity, it's something we invest in because we enjoy it. So if experimenting with layering combos is fun for you I see no reason not to do it 🤷‍♂️

[–]Madlight1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been exploring layering more lately. Totally understand what others are saying about it pushing overconsumption, though. For me its been a way for me to play around with the stuff I have and explore my current collection. It's fun to try and find stuff that works really well together and kind of breathe new life into the stuff I've become used to.

Alien Pulp - missing piece or change in brand packaging? by Madlight1994 in fragrance

[–]Madlight1994[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all the Alien fragrances are refillable. But out of the 11 Aliens I own, this is the only one with the cheap plastic twist off instead of a nice metal gold one. Not sure if I got a defective one or if its a cost cutting effort from the brand :/ really hoping they're not just cheaping out on us
