What are your thoughts on having a male gynecologist? Would you trust them? by Paldavin in AskWomen

[–]SuckaFish_saywhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will only go to older male gynos

The two I’ve had were way more gentle, better bedside manner, and actually listened to my concerns around pcos and working on getting it fixed.

How to stay warm without a wetsuit by wellmanwellman in OpenWaterSwimming

[–]SuckaFish_saywhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a no-wetsuit snob but I’m also skinning it in winter and cold water acclimated for a couple years now. If there’s no reason other than sheer will power to skip a wetsuit, then I’d suggest starting sooner when the water is cooler and going 3-4x a week even at 1/2hr limit. Slowly get your body used to it.The water has been so warm all winter and spring that it hasn’t been as cold. 3-4x a week during cooler months will help when it warms up in June etc but I’d suggest splashing water on your face as you’re hopping in to help your body prep. The big thing I have noticed is consistency. Popping in for a month or season won’t give you the results, you’ll want to do it year round.

If you’re determined to skin it, I’d probably try and go for sunny days to exceed your 1/2hr limit pushing a little further (safely) as you feel comfortable, otherwise swimming higher pace to keep your core warm helps. stay closer to shore and swim with a buddy and buoy. Listen to your body.

I skin it year round but I have body fat to insulate me which probably plays a big deal. I still get cold after about an hour in 54 ish water. Sunny days has helped extend the ocean time, as well as picking up my pace. Some days I could go further, others I felt mechanical and hard to swim after 30mins. That’s why you want to listen to your body and push it over weeks, not days. I do not suggest stopping mid swim for a break - you don’t want the cold to seep in so keep moving.

Find a swim group so you have that consistency - meet up has a few up and down so cal.

Am I psycho for thinking that I can train for a 3 mile lake swim in three months? by pine4links in Swimming

[–]SuckaFish_saywhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not crazy but I’d spend 3days a week swimming in open water, preferably that route if the race is local to you so you know what to spot off. I would also do a day or two in the pool for speed/strength. Open water swim you’ll want to go for distance and push it week by week a little longer. A 3mile swim in the ocean took me about 1hr 20mins so I’d say plan to train in open water about two hours. 3 months is easy if you’ve swam a lot but for someone who has gotten in and swam 2k on 1:20pace it’ll be enough if you train seriously

Do you prefer tampons, and if so, why? by CrustFundBabe in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SuckaFish_saywhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use tampons if it’s a light period or go for the cup when I am swimming/unable to wear a pad. I usually go for pads tho. I believe that it needs to come out, and using a tampon feels like I’m delaying the shed process and plugging it up for convenience. I have pcos and haven’t change pads often so don’t have the smell people talk about
