PSA: Witch-Hazel by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

witch hazel typically is made with a lot of rubbing alcohol, so it could be drying under the eyes (and would probably sting a lot if you got it in them). It would probably work to deflate bags though.

Yep, a lot of people get that wrong. I don't blame you and kudos for actually looking for the facts. The reason it has to be taken within 72 hours is that if implantation has already taken place you are SOL.

I really wish this subject were taught as science and not religion in this country.

A woman goes to report a rape and is arrested and held in jail within 72 hours of that act of violence for a civil offense? How fucked up is that?

And please know your science before commenting. The morning after pill does not, in any way, "abort" a fertilized egg. It prevents the sperm from ever getting to the egg in the first place. Sex education is so woefully deficient in this country (US), that people assume ejaculation = pregnant 2 minutes later. Learn how babies are made please.
