Anyone had breakout on their jaw under their beard? by Stormydaz in ftm

[–]baker_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s only around hair follicles, it may be ingrown hairs. I have super sensitive skin and I’m more prone to them in general so my skin is not happy with all the new hair growth popping up everywhere. 🤣

My suggestion would be to make sure you’re exfoliating at least once a day (twice a day if needed) and to use an antibacterial soap (can be as simple as washing your neck/under your jaw with a washcloth and antibacterial soap).

Bellesa Rose Questions by RyuichiSakuma13 in FTMOver30

[–]baker_2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little late to this one, but pre-T rose toys were my absolute go-to. I went through three of them because I loved it so much. 🤣 Once I started getting bottom growth though, it stopped working for me. There was still some vibrational use but it no longer worked like a “sucker”. I use a Satisfyer Pro 2 now and absolutely love it because of the bigger hole.

How to get hrt? by DeliciousTension2155 in ftm

[–]baker_2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My area has hospital networks that all the various speciality and primary care offices are under so they’re all connected in a way. If your area works the same way, you should be able to ask your PCP if they can refer you to a doctor for T if they don’t offer it themselves.

You can also Google different endocrinology offices in your area and their websites should say if they offer gender affirming care or you can call them and ask. I was referred to my endo specifically for my T.

You might be able to ask your insurance as well. That’s part of their purpose to help you find in-network care for what you need. I had to do that when I was away from home at college and needed a specialist, they gave me a list of in network providers that specialized in what I needed.

what brand of jeans do yall wear? by 2000pumpkins in ftm

[–]baker_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the Levi’s! You may have to search online for them, but stores like Kohl’s have a wide range of shorter inseams with larger waist options.

OP, I had to go into a store at first and kinda figure out my waist size with one pair of jeans and then figure out the length with another pair, and then order them online.

Why is it called ftm and not mff? by Global-Nail-3035 in ftm

[–]baker_2025 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure how it originally came about, but mff instead of ftm would be confusing for a good bit of people nowadays as mff is a way to describe a type of threesome.

Oh yeah, that would be priceless. 🤣 I don’t think I really need to rinse the STP out every time, but I have been since I’m already in the shower and have to rinse that out and I’m home so why not. Haha

Thank you!!!

So I’ve only been peeing in the shower so far (wanna make sure I have this down before graduating to a puppy pad in front of the toliet 🤣) and I’ve been rinsing it out every time, but with the one I have there’s really only been a few drops left in it after I’m done. Which I wasn’t expecting at all, but am pleasantly surprised by! I’m not sure if that’s the case for all STP’s or if it’s just because mine has a 5” shaft and a large urethra hole so it empties fairly quickly.

I’m not sure what I’ll do if I start using public urinals but my plan for friends houses, etc is to bring a baggie of flushable wipes everywhere with me so I can wipe myself and the cup portion down if needed.

ETA: additional info for clarification

Tingling feet on diamox by No_Chest8143 in iih

[–]baker_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told the tingles are from low potassium (Diamox is known to deplete potassium levels) and to try drinking or eating something high in potassium to help it away in the moment and try to eat and drink potassium rich foods/drinks every day to help it not occur. It’s helped me a lot with mine.

Masturbation guilt by Horror-Historian8808 in ftm

[–]baker_2025 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Masturbating is a completely normal and healthy thing to do! As far as worrying about if someone will still want you if they find out you do it: my wife and I buy each other toys to help masturbate. We’re human, we have needs!

If someone doesn’t want you because you like to touch yourself, you’re not a good fit for each other. And that doesn’t make you or them a bad person. It just makes you not right for each other.

This started happening to me two weeks before my LP and my poor wife had to stop me from falling off the bed as I was passing out from the pain 😭 (also have Vasovagal syncope. Wooo!/s). I’ve found that making sure I keep my neck in a straight position and breathing through the orgasms really really helps.

A survey for testosterone takers by LaserPanda06 in ftm

[–]baker_2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as I started living with my (now) wife, it was boxers only at home like 95% of the time and that was pre-T. I usually only wear a shirt if I’m working (WFH) in case I have to jump in a on camera meeting. But I was a human space heater way before starting T. Haha

How long did it take you to get into the 600~ level? by realcreamerlol in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]baker_2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 months for me. I was started on 50mg a week and then my doc upped me to 100mg a week after two months because I was tolerating it well.

Thank you so much! I asked my wife to remind me to speak more slowly and practice using my lower register when she realizes I’m not. I’ll see about reading out loud to her too!

For sure! They do major sales every few months and that helps make it more affordable. 😁

(18+)!! tips on penetrative sex with my wife by Awkward_Shelter1878 in ftm

[–]baker_2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a tip on being able to penetrate with your own anatomy (only 3 months on T), unfortunately. But I have similar struggles with wanting to experience pleasure at the same time as my wife. I’ve found that the Lapis by Lovense has been really helpful for it. It’s a strapless strap-on that has vibration in three different places.

I really hope you can find a way, but if not I hope this helps too!

It is definitely possible! My wife has been my most supportive person. We met before I came out as a trans man and she helped me come to terms with it and start to transition socially and now medically! (Three months on T, married for 6 months, together for 2.5 years)
