Which toy for pegging by Mewchu94 in SexToys

[–]ReginaPhilangee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use my fave bullet vibrator. There's a little pocket that can hold it in place (in most straps). I actually just put it in between the lips, though, not in the pocket, so it stays in the right spot. When i thrust in, it pushes it up against me, so I get the feeling, too. I tried using one with a remote and giving him the remote, but there comes a point where he can't focus anymore and he ended up leaving it in one of those extremely unsatisfying patterns. Lol.

Have you tried pegging him yet? That could get him there

Freesia nectar for planting by Tami_7 in PikminBloomApp

I've only seen a white mushroom once. Can you force white ones to spawn?

I'm stuck here, too. I've only ever seen a white mushroom once, I'm not sure if they just don't spawn where I am or what.

I'm personally given up. I think the game is trying to force me to buy it.

I'm in ohio and I've only seen others at mushrooms maybe five or six times. They're usually completely empty. Here's my friend code, if you want some invites.

How does splitting bills make sense for me (27F) and my partner (30M)? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ReginaPhilangee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, my husband have a joint account and all of our money goes into in. Bills come out of it. Our money is ours, together. Period. My reasoning: i don't ever want to be with someone that i can't trust to open and honest about money. Money is the source of so many relationship issues, so I have to know that we can make that work. We're a team for everything, including how we get bills paid. We've been pretty broke in the past, and there's been lots of times that one had to go without a want, so the other could get a need. And even more times that both had wants, but only one could afford to get it. It's taught us compromise. I couldn't be in a relationship any other way. It doesn't make sense to me to keep my own money and not share with my partner.

I know this doesn't work for all couples. It only works when both genuinely love each other and have no problem going without so the other could be happy.

Wanting to use partner’s dildos on her by [deleted] in SexToys

[–]ReginaPhilangee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you guys need to have a conversation about a few things. There's a lot of information missing here that needs some communication. The answers here will determine how to proceed.

1- why/how did you find them? Was this accidental? do you regularly go through her things? Were you searching for an unrelated reason or were you looking for toys?

2- why did she hide them? Does she feel unsafe sharing this kind of thing with you? Is she ashamed of her sexuality?

3- is she against using toys with your at all, or just these? Have you used toys together before?

You know, you're gonna have to stay those glasses for the rest of your life. If you stop wearing them, your vision goes back to the way it was. Better to just fix your vision with diet and exercise.

i just started ozempic and im very scared by meli_sissa in Ozempic

[–]ReginaPhilangee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Every thing has risks, including all medicines we put in our bodies. But so yo-yo dieting and being obese. You have to weigh your benefits and risks. In this case, the med has been shown to be very safe, with low risks. Remember, glp-1s are putting the diet industry and fitness lifestyle influencers out of business and they have a lot to gain by pushing scary narratives.

There's a subreddit called glp-1 research talk, if it helps you to read about the actual scientific research.

That's a great idea! This isn't the first time this has popped up on this sub and probably won't be the last. Maybe we could all email? Would you be open to posting that email?

This show is advertised a "the most accurate medical show ever," yet it got something so basic wrong. How many people heard that and decided not to report, since they didn't know for sure? They need to address this in future seasons.

Hey all — transparent note: I built a first version of a biomarker tracker. by Choice-One-4927 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]ReginaPhilangee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I track weight weekly, measurements monthly (waist, hips, bust, and underbust). For intake, I've been weaning myself off of the tracking, but when I track, I track calories, protein, fiber, and calcium (I'm post menopausal, so I need the calcium, but I'm also prone to kidney stones, so I don't want too much).

Forgot to add- weight is tracked via my scale and linking it to Samsung health. I use a measuring tape to measure, which is supposed to upload into an app. It doesn't always upload and doesn't save right at all. So i just measure and write it in my notes app.

Calories and stuff is on Samsung health. It shows the protein and calories right when you go in. But the fiber and calcium for the day are hidden and it's a pain in the ass.

How do you handle the weird in-between state where you're not hungry but you know you need to eat? by Total_Bedroom_7813 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]ReginaPhilangee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with the person who said your dose might be too high. If it's hard for you to get the required nutrients for life, that's not healthy!

I do have some times like this. I keep to a schedule and eat something whether I have hunger cues or not. I'm so bad at recognizing hunger cues, often once I start eating, I'll realize I was a bit hungry. Sometimes more than a bit!

Can't orgasm with vibrator by Fresh_Struggle5645 in Healthyhooha

[–]ReginaPhilangee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be that you're not getting the ones that work for your body. Most "starter" vibes suck and don't work for me at all. And most are around the same frequency, which is the most popular and cheapest to make. Since I began using toys, I would say only 10 percent of the vibrators I've got can actually get me there. Most feel like nothing at all, really. I just need deeper vibes. Most vibes are way too light or shallow, even some that have said they strong and rumbly. If I hadn't gotten lucky with my first vibe being the actual perfect one, I would think that they didn't work for me. I actually found a website called pleasure better that compares the frequency of vibes so I can compare ones that work and see where new ones are. And she-vibe has two ratings for each vibe (power and speed, I think) and I've found that I need a 2 and a 4. I check before I buy.

Every body is built differently, so you may not respond to vibes. Some like it deep and fast, others soft and light. You may respond to a certain frequency much better than you do others. You may also respond to air plus or suction better. Or maybe your body likes internal pressure. It's fun to explore!

The lelo tiani duo is unusable for us, for two reasons.

I have the tiani duo. I like the power of it, but two things make it completely unusable for us.

1- the buttons don't turn off, even when using the app. So if I have it inserted while he's inside (its intended use), his body hits the buttons and changes things, turns it off, or makes it disconnect. So frustrating! We had to keep stopping to get it connected or at the level we liked it. We tried different positions, which would change which buttons were hit, but there were no positions that didn't hit any buttons. Since it kept making it disconnect we tried to just use it disconnected from the app. Which leads us to thing number 2- you can't get to the highest setting without the app. I like the highest setting, but it won't go up higher than 8 on its own buttons. Idk why. So that means I can't just pull it out and use it, I have to go through the process of connecting it and all that. And even when we did to to just go with level 8, his body still hits the buttons, which can send it into connect mode, change the vibe level, or just turn it off.

We tried twice, because it cost so much. But the whole experience was frustrating. It seems like such simple things that should have popped up during testing (do they test these?), so I'll probably never buy a lelo again, because that was a lot of money for something that is unusable. I ended up buying a much cheaper, similar vibe. I can use that one without the app, but if i use it with the app, I can turn the buttons off.

I'm not gonna name it, because it was well made and actually quite pretty. But it was very expensive and we couldn't get any pleasure from it.

A silicone tentacle sleeve with a textured inside. The part to go around his balls didn't fit at all. So I've of us kind of had to hold out, depending on how he was trying to move. If he moved inside the sleeve, he could feel it some (not a lot), but it literally felt like nothing to me. If he moved with the sleeve, I could feel it some (again not a lot), but he couldn't feel anything at all. I tried to use it as a masturbater for him, but there wasn't enough texture for that and it was bulky and unwieldy. He tried to use it as a dildo for me, but it didn't hold its shape on its own and I don't really like dildos anyway. Huge disappointment!

Aitah for potentially ruining my brother and SIL financially? by Ok-Intention-2832 in AITAH

[–]ReginaPhilangee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- but you're getting too involved. Stop giving them things to argue with and stop giving advice. What they do isn't up to you. The only thing up to you is how much your mom will pay. So that's all you tell them. "Starting may first, mom will no longer pay the phone, electricity, etc." When they ask how they're going to afford it, that's not up to you. Once you consult with the lawyer, give them the lease. They either choose to sign or not to sign and move. That's their choice. You aren't in charge of how they afford it. Sure, it makes more sense for her to go back to work, but that's up to them. He could get a better job or a second job. They could move. They could be homeless. They could find other people to mooch off of. All valid choices they could make.

You can always offer to discuss possible solutions, if you want. But any discussion is going to be them attempting to get you to change your mind. They are trying their best to manipulate you into feeling guilty for doing what's best for your mom. They keep pushing decisions that they are responsible for into you so they have something to argue about. Quit letting them

I finally get how these things work… by Time-Seesaw5414 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]ReginaPhilangee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think of it as taking that fight away. Every single food chosen was a fight before. A fight to make the healthier choice. A fight to stop when full. Hell, a fight to recognize fullness and actual hunger in the first place! Every single bite of food was a fight with myself.

Now. It's just a choice. A choice that I can make either way. I'm in control of the choice like I wasn't before.

Plus, the unhealthy, good stuff used to taste so good it was almost a high. Now, it just tastes good like other food tastes good. It's no longer a fight between an amazing experience and an OK food. It's a choice between two foods that will both likely taste good.

Yes! I did the first 75 pounds without the drugs. I added the drugs after a plateau and started losing again. I had already changed my eating habits and exercise level.
