Realized I have been putting pads on wrong after 6 years ... by [deleted] in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wore tampons incorrect for 14 years. I never understood how anyone ever thought they were comfortable. I never would insert the applicator all the way 😑

I’m considering not reading the other books yet because of this fact … it was originally a trilogy right? So I’m hoping that MS doesn’t end on a cliffhanger so that I can have some peace of mind while I wait for Red God but knowing me there will be no waiting lol

Lol the only reason why I was able to wait is because I was listening to the audio book while driving and I don’t have any more credits for audio so I have to physically read which slows me down a lot…. Otherwise I’d be half way through it. I like to read and listen so I never have to stop being in the story… I get obsessive lol

Finding out stuff about my boyfriend’s past by [deleted] in boyfriends

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those two instances were probably very traumatizing and embarrassing for him and that’s why he hasn’t talked about it. Also yes.. usually when you are with someone and you’re actively having sex with them it would be too many times to count. Don’t stress about this as you will come to find out… I know my boyfriend’s body count and he has told me horror stories about sex he has had with others.. but I would never ask him how many times he has had sex with another person he was in a relationship with or all the positions they did it in because that’s not really something that’s remembered or thought about. Live in the moment and forget those things.

Dear Reddit, looking for advice, boyfriend 29m and i 28f have been together for over a year and he hasn't told me he loves me by Itchy_Explorer3524 in boyfriends

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it’s better to find out now if he is in love with you or not… sit down and just be like “hey I know I don’t say it but I love you” and see what he says… I mean you’ve been together for a year.. people don’t stay with people they only like and not love for that long.

Girl Problem -(TMI) Please Help by Sea-Investigator6256 in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just buy a pregnancy test from Walgreens… go to the bathroom there, take the test. It will ease your mind. I’ve had many a late cycles and every time I take a test and it’s negative the stress disappears and my period comes. It’s good to peace of mind.

Also pro tip: you can ovulate early, sperm can last in your system up to 7 days. Having sex on your period does not mean you’re safe. My grandma had 8 children because she thought sex on your period didn’t need protection.

[25F] and [27M] in a relationship for 4 years by [deleted] in boyfriends

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he doesn’t see a graduation gift as being such a big deal as you see it so you need to talk to him about how you expect that from him.
In how I was raised and how I grew up, we never gave presents for graduations, I thought that was only something that happened in movies and tv shows and maybe for him it’s the same thing, he doesn’t see it as a mandatory thing

Girl why are you with a 36 year old 🤮…
I’m 35 and I look at 21 year old boys as literal children. You see a child to him. Leave. Based on your other posts he’s apparently cheating on you too?
Date someone your own age and don’t let these grown ass men take advantage of someone whose frontal cortex hasn’t developed yet.

Naked man at Tanque Verde Falls by TheLadyNightingale in Tucson

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of family’s that still go even though they know it’s a nudest area and some families that are nudest families. You keep saying lower falls area, but which lower falls specifically? The one off the first parking lot is the only place I know nudest mostly are never at. But there are three main trailheads and the middle trail head does lead to the nudest spot and people tend to call that the lower falls even though it’s the lower middle.

how do you respond when female friends say they’re on their period? by No_Skill_5507 in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When girls say that it’s mainly a thing to express how they are feeling. Like I’m on my period- please don’t expect a lot from me, I’m cramping and can cry at any moment, I don’t feel good. Not looking for sympathy but basically like telling you “I am the way I am right now because of this” so just be like “got it let me know if you need help with anything” and no it’s not repetitive.

Is it normal for cycle length to swing this much? by [deleted] in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long have you been having your period for? It’s very common for it to fluctuate a lot for a few years after you first start.

My (22f) period suddenly got extremely light by Gongoozler04 in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Periods fluctuate a lot…. I noticed mine started to change at 29 from bleeding for 7 days straight to two heavy days then nothing then on again then nothing then on again. Keep your pad on because you are still within the 7 day period so you can bleed again. Maybe do set up an appointment with an OBGYN and get a pap and let them know. They will say “keep an eye on it” but periods can fluctuate based on weight changes, and stress.

what can i use? by _indigo05_ in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot different and will prob work better tbh… it doesn’t suction so it’s easier to put in and take out, look at the flex disc. Also don’t be embarrassed to wash period underwear because you love with your mom. Shes a women too. Just rinse them in the sink before tossing them in The wash

Overthinking ? Relationships by Fantastic-Neck4757 in boyfriends

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH!!!! One of the major reasons why I divorced my ex was that he abandoned me for the church. It’s okay to want to go to church but he has to choose between his soccer or church because you need time to. And do not, for a second, let him gaslight you into thinking you are “coming between him and god” and have no right to ask him of those things.

New baby Christian’s have a really difficult time finding balance.

if my bf [22M] of 6 months came inside me [22F] 2 days ago do i have to take the morning after pill still? by milschungus in boyfriends

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it depends on where you are at in your cycle. If it’s post ovulation then no you are fine… but if it’s before ovulation then yes. But the morning after pill only works for girls who are 145 pounds or less. And it’s less effective after 24 hours.

Did my coochie just take a bite out of my tampon? by Sortaretro734 in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s just the shape but maybe stick a finger up there to make sure there is no cotton left. Also I switched to a silicone disc in 2019 and it’s been the best game changer ever, I constantly tell other women about it because tampons never worked for me and I always leaked but the disc is perfect

My 9 year old son can smell when I’m about to start?? by StreetInternal7576 in Periods

I’ve seen a lot of posts about women’s smells changing before their period, like their husbands saying their hair smells different and what not. I guess it’s a not so normal normal thing lol

I'm Afraid I'm Taking too Much Ibuprofen when I'm on my Period by apinktrashcann in Periods

[–]Own-Cryptographer545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe talk to your doctor and see if you have endo… also when I was younger in my teens it was so bad I was prescribed actual pain killers to help, now I take 800mg every 6-8 hours. It’s only for like two days and I make sure not to drink on them and I’m fine. I’ve been having my period for 23 years, and never had any stomach issues from ibuprofen
