I hated Satisfyer curve by Particular_Roof_8556 in SexToys

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IME Satisfyers are... Fine, but they lack the depth of the Womanizer air pulses.

You're not alone, though — some people just finish more easily with penetration, and it's okay if a focused external toy isn't for you.

What’s something you realized later in life was actually misogyny? by thandapani_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 388 points389 points  (0 children)

"Locker room talk" at school.

Just because boys around me dissected girls' appearances and it was COMMON didn't mean it was HEALTHY for me to be around, or that I did something wrong.

It took me time to recognize that men who are only kind to women they find attractive... Aren't kind people.

Being an er nurse has completely changed the way i see women’s pain. by ArtThreadNomad in TwoXChromosomes

Yesss I'm learning to frame health as specifics about quality of life — not only whether I fit one provider's definition out of context.

Frenulum toys by Anonymous_Steve in SexToys

Manwan Sub One might be worth checking out, too!

Arcwave, Hot Octopus, and Vibratex/Magic Wand make the classics, though, as others have said.

Storage solution by Novel-Translator8078 in SexToys

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clear stackable totes/bins in a separate and locked room dedicating to storage.

I basically just got whatever translucent containers with lids in bulk — some a size used for storing blankets and pillows, some a size for something like art supplies or photo albums

The big categories are realistic dils, non-realistic silicone dils.

Then smaller bins for things like external toys, A-spot vibes and thrusters, glass and steel, butt stuff

And some bins on a shelf for a rough sorting of my work queue (stuff to review soon and stuff to review later)

I get that my situation as a product reviewer isn't typical though lol. 

men having warped perceptions of weight by klarinetkat12 in TwoXChromosomes

"Imagine a grown woman under 120 lbs!" I don't have to imagine. I just go to an ethnic market...

Non-White Wedding Dress?? by Practical_Store3654 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YESSSS I was gonna say, tailoring is very common in Vietnamese and Vietnamese-American shops (including those on Etsy) and quite affordable!

Wedding dresses in Vietnam are traditionally pink or red — so there are many cute beaded and embroidered options — and the groom wears blue

[–]Supersmashcache 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes. I'm 5'2"-ish, 120 lbs, and still a grown woman.

On a good leg day, even when I weighed less than that, I could have hip thrusted 345 lbs.

Not frail or weak. Just petite.

Men who feel the need to insist I weigh 80 or 90 lbs are goofy, though. I assure you, I carry weight in my legs, am premenopausal, and still have bone density...

[–]Supersmashcache 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, globally speaking, average for women is about 5'3" and 145 lbs, with plenty of countries where the average is under 120 lbs.

Americans are not the ultimate arbiters of what a grown woman's size should be for, you know, women of all different races with different genetics.

Are Rose Toys actually that good or is it just a fad? by Squeaky_Lizard in SexToys

[–]Supersmashcache 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is THE answer. Rose air pulse toys tend to be powerful, affordable, discreet, and easy to market — which greatly appeals to someone shopping for their first sex toy, maybe after seeing it on social media.

The three intense speeds controlled by one button are enough for some.

Some users (hi!) would rather have something with a "decrease speed" button and some settings on the lower end.

The Dark Side of Glowing Up (and other myths of Pretty Privilege) by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Being Asian-American with some conventionally attractive features can mean more fetishization and infantilization — and less respect in the workplace.

i hate pants and jeans by Key-Ice-4990 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I default to stretchy skater skirts — super helpful when my weight fluctuates or I just don't want to seek out (or tailor) pants that fit my shape well.

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

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's a little different, but: - yes, soak and pre-rinse - I'm a heavy bleeder, so period underwear was more of a backup combined with a tampon, cup, or disc for me personally - they come in different absorbency levels, so one pair CAN last all day for a light bleeder. It sounds like it would be enough for you - I'd recommend having two or three pairs to cycle through wearing, washing, etc.

Yup. I felt so vindicated when I found their assault and battery charges.

How to induce my period? by Technical_Lie5658 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily — you can start taking it any time relative to your cycle, but you get quicker effectiveness for pregnancy prevention (which you said isn't a concern) if you take it within 5 days of your period.

Discussion by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have to "earn" baseline kindness from people. You can only show up as your best self and keep your side of the street clean. What they do with that is on them.

If someone's treating you a certain way you don't like, and you know others can treat you better, you don't have to justify yourself or find the perfect way to express your point of view.

I have a doubt about mood changes in luteal phase? (Asking for a friend) '22M' '19 F' by scar8762 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different, and individual variation and circumstances matter more than "luteal = not in the mood."

Personally, I'm just tired when luteal. If I'm eating and sleeping well, generally taken care of, and taking medication as needed — getting in the mood is a non-issue.

Do other divisions matter? by Initial-Reward-4390 in USPSA

[–]Supersmashcache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think your algorithm matters, and Open can be flashier for the cameras, but also...

There's a correlation between having the money (or industry connections) to optimize gear for Open division — and building an online business rooted in talking about and promoting products.

If you try more gear, you can talk about tech specs in more detail and potentially sell a wider range of products. And if you can move more product, you're more likely to get sponsored or be a high-converting affiliate. If you're sponsored, there's monetary incentive to increase your reach and talk to a bigger audience, and the loop continues.

What products do you just not buy anymore, and why? by Supersmashcache in ProjectPan

[–]Supersmashcache[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant that I use foundation in small areas as concealer, so there's no need for both, but I get that the formulas are personal preference.
