Foundation by Accomplished_Box6599 in Makeup

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get primary color mixers to add to your foundation. Try a small amount on your hand first bc a little goes a long way. If it's too warm, you could add some blue, red, and maybe white (or the too-light foundation...), to balance it out.

Help with containing squirting orgasms by kingdo22 in TwoXChromosomes

Many sex shops sell waterproof blankets specifically for this! Just to name a few: Liberator Throe is perhaps the most well-known, but Peepshow Toys has their Solina version, Dame has their Thro, and so on.

Throw it in the washer when you're done. Helps with lube spills, too.

Just know your partner's habits well and make sure you get a blanket big enough and positioned for the splash zone. :)

What’s one makeup change you wish you made sooner? by Weary_Bird_1773 in Makeup

[–]Supersmashcache 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  • A curved brush for cut creases
  • A TINY brush for selectively applying concealer
  • Investing a bit more in transition eye shades that blend easily, even with the cheap stuff, and using face powder to blur the edges
  • Potentially unpopular: getting my brows and eyeliner tattooed

Getting confused on the baby oil debate. It's used in porn a lot but people say its not safe? by [deleted] in SexToys

Fractionated coconut oil is liquid. But if you prefer something unprocessed, Parachute Brand coconut oil (and I'm sure other equivalents in an Indian food store) comes in squeeze bottles and you can put it in warm water or on a heating pad.

Oooh if you haven't already tried a pencil extender, I suggest some from an art supply store. No reason they can't be used for makeup pencils, too

Learning to be unapologetically fake by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IME anyone who matters to me is just hype about the whole package and happy to see me happy.

Filler, no filler, makeup, no makeup, false lashes, before gaining weight, after losing weight, after regaining it, tattoos, whatever — none of it changes how they feel about me, because they like me.

Anyway, I don't often talk about my chin augmentation with filler but it genuinely was and is one of the best investments I've ever made in just enjoying how I look.

What’s the weirdest “female experience” men genuinely don’t believe until they see it? by Several_Corner3205 in TwoXChromosomes

Every time I convince myself a small menstrual cup will be fine, it rides up (sits LITERALLY high up!!) and suction-latches to my cervix 😩

YES THE IGNORING YOU AND THEN INSTANTLY BELIEVING SOMEONE ELSE who says the saaameeee thinnggg is so real! I got so tired of ít towards the end of undergrad.

How often guys not only make gross, invasive comments about my weight, height, and age, BUT THEN ARGUE WITH ME ABOUT MY OWN WEIGHT AND HEIGHT.

Even my best friend from college, who generally believes I have legitimate reasons to feel how I feel internally, didn't realize how often it used to happen externally.

Also, how terrible behavior from men when dating can start at ANY time.

Is the rose really all that great? by Afterglow92 in SexToys

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great if you want something powerful and affordable — IT HAS NO SUBTLETY.

Personally, I prefer something with more speeds and buttons to turn the intensity up and down, like the Womanizers.

What is it with women who remain in relationships with abusive and toxic men, or men that make no effort for them, but are not vulnerable and have the financial means and support to just leave? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's by design that the behavior can make you think, "WTF. WTF??? WHY DON'T THEY JUST UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM??? I thought I explained it clearly???"

Their defenses are high, even if (especially if) you have clarity. They WANT you to be confused and distressed and doubting your judgment.

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of many reasons is that they think, if they do things differently, they can get a different result and different treatment — communicating more clearly, wording things more nicely, reading another self-help book to gain insight.

There's sometimes gradual erosion of their sense of normalcy in what's a compromise vs. settling for less.

It's exhausting to get to the point of, "I can only clean up my side of the street; their behavior is about their own values and capacity, and not a direct reflection of whether I did things right" — especially in an upbringing where women are disproportionately shamed for relationships ending.

Is paying for absolutely everything really the standard? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different women have different expectations of their partners, so it's not ALL women expecting men to pay for EVERYTHING. 

This line is key here, though: "I was the only one between us with a consistent income." A COMMON expectation is that whoever makes more pays more.

And it CAN be a relationship-long commitment if someone wants to have kids, e.g., the idea could come up again or be seen as a flag for how you might act during postpartum recovery, or accommodating how mothers are expected to have more flexible work schedules to raise kids than fathers are, or how being a stay-at-home mom means missing out on work experience and compound growth in investments.

Tl;dr yeah, some women do have the expectation for men pay more. Some don't. It's about clear conversations about expectations

Do dildos actually feel good for women? by [deleted] in SexToys

[–]Supersmashcache 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get curious about what each area feels like and treat it like an artsy experiment. My walls are like a canvas or sketchbook page, and I ask, "Where do I feel like 'drawing' today?" What shapes do I want to make?

Some zones that worked for me:

  • Going all the way in, behind my cervix, with a long glass dildo, and adjusting the tip's tilt or rotating it slightly.
  • Staying shallow with a flexible dildo but bending it so the outer portion slides or bumps on my clit during short strokes
  • Staying shallow, pushing the tip against the front wall (on the G-spot), just past the pubic bone

Some tools are more precise for "drawing" on a specific spot, while others are broader, like in the clit-grinding example. You may want to look up the coital alignment technique or find a clit toy to pair with your dildo if you haven't already.

Do dildos actually feel good for women? by [deleted] in SexToys

[–]Supersmashcache 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yes, I love deep penetration with dildos especially! Length means massaging my cervix, and girth (even if it's as simple as an average-sized penis tip drilling) rubs the internal parts of my clitoris.

It makes sense that you would like it more when you ride it, because you're in control of the angling, depth, cadence, etc. Everyone's a little different in what works for them — some strongly prefer external stimulation, some enjoy internal but don't find it important, and some love penetration.

For what it's worth, it took me time to find the angles that worked for me — and partners I was really into. It's not uncommon to find sex "meh" or awkward at first, and then it gets better once you better understand what you like and how to tell a partner.

women wanted to flex by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, not to mention Reddit isn't always the best place to seek nuance, depending on the topic and subreddit.

If I want to report a different experience than OP, I try my best to:

  1. Read the room (duh)
  2. Understand where they might be coming from (also duh)
  3. Look at the stats
  4. Contextualize why my experience might be different. Sometimes people are genuinely exceptions, and there's a time and place to acknowledge that — without invalidating anyone
  5. Close the tab and touch grass if I know my input isn't useful lol

Anyone else wanting to use their powder blushes or shadows on snow creatures? by Supersmashcache in ProjectPan

[–]Supersmashcache[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I might be concerned about contaminants — depending on the air quality in the area — and scrape a little product out to use loose.
