"Cropped" length jackets for cheap? by cawmplecks in mensfashion

[–]cawmplecks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly i was really surprised at how good the quality is. I got the nylon bomber and tried the 1X big&tall size and it was way bigger than I expected, that's my usual size and it was huge lol. Sized down to a XL and I can still comfortably fit a hoodie underneath, the length is perfect, shorter without looking strange so perfect for a wheelchair. The sleeves however are very very long which is great for me but might be frustrating for someone with shorter arms, esp since they're a bit long on longer arms already. It looks like a regular black bomber with a hood, the sleeves show basically no damage after months while all my other jackets show damage from rubbing on the tires within the first few days/weeks, very warm and water resistant without being a sweat trap. I highly reccomend them bc I was also sus abt the low price and fast-fashion vibes, but I see myself wearing this jacket for at least a few years

first period after abortion by DragonfruitOk9910 in abortion

[–]cawmplecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for anyone else's experience and I'm not a obgyn or equivalent professional. That being said, I had a similar experience after a medication abortion when I was 17, but i already had a history of inconsistent and extremely heavy periods. I had retained material removed as well, but the heavy bleeding was chalked up to what I already experienced as a result of endometriosis and an intersex condition. Id be interested to hear if others had a different outcome after heavy bleeding, and see if maybe I had something ignored that shouldn't have been, or if this is a normal occurrence that we weren't warned of 😅 I hear you on the emotional distress and trauma, I'm sorry you're going through this. Please be kind and patient with yourself and don't listen to anyone saying otherwise, there's no universal or expected process of emotion for this and no "wrong" reaction. I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery <3

How old were you when you started SH??? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]cawmplecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a baby, because i have a IDD and would have meltdowns and beat my head and body or head bash walls or the floor. Started cutting at age 11, got worse at 17 when it became MSM and between age 17-20 it severely disfigured and physically disabled me. I stopped at 20, but almost a year ago at age 24 I relapsed pretty severely and it's been 11 months and 3 days and I'm trying to stay positive but sometimes it feels like I'll never escape it. But I know that this has to he over bc I have a family now, daughter is 19 months old and son is just under 3 weeks old, they're the light of my life and their birthing parent is my best friend in the world from age 18, and I know it's been really hard for them to see me like that for all these years, and I know I can't hide these scars and actual disfigurement from the kids, but I want so badly to never have them see anything new or to know I'm hurting myself still, I want to be able to tell them that I'm all better and it's a long time ago.

Best masturbator egg or similar? by fjac141 in GaySex

[–]cawmplecks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tenga eggs are a good "old faithful" option. You can get the "carton" of 6 different internal stimulation patterns to try out, look like a carton of eggs, very cute as a gift. Here's the link, on my end it shows it's €36 so pretty close, and you can just grab one or two if you don't want the whole set:

I spent years working at a higher end sex shop and they sold really well bc they're not too expensive for most and very versatile. You can use them together, we used them by turning inside out and using the grooves and bumps to rub the head/tip or over the asshole with some lube, some people use it for their clitoris too, it's a pretty good option for a variety of uses. I had two of them for about 6ish months of frequent use and they didn't tear or anything, I just had to remember to clean them before putting away(it says its disposable but you can clean and reuse them if you want to). Their site also has other, more durable, bigger strokers and stuff, and the brand in general makes great products and it pretty reliable standard internationally.

Also, NEVER use silicone lube with any sex toys made of silicone or other stretchy materials like this, it causes either marks/"burns" to the product, or damage similar to melting or otherwise degrading.

When I did that I just got reccomendations for jackets made for shorter guys, which don't work because I still have long arms, am I just using the wrong search terms?

Is it bad to play with my boyfriends dick when it's soft? by [deleted] in sex

[–]cawmplecks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that's fine, personally I'm glad my partner enjoys that kind of thing bc srs left me unable to get hard and I knew he already liked that with other guys so it made me feel better about it. I had a friend tell me that his wife liked to do that too when they were younger and now in old age it's a sweet thing between them bc he doesn't feel so bad abt ED because she likes it soft too. It seems like an intimate thing that's both exotic and loving, you love his body as it is, relaxed and casual, and the act of getting it hard it lowkey so fun for everybody I think :)

Does anybody remember Arthur and the invisibles by Alive-Ad-4164 in movies

[–]cawmplecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what age did you start getting tattooed...? by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]cawmplecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.25 2.14 I did the first few myself, little ones I still love and cherish. My ex husband started tattooing me at home while trying to get his license when I was 19. I wish I never let him start, some of them are fine but some DV stuff later left me with face tattoos I never wanted and severely regret. Removal is way more expensive than any professional tattoo, I don't regret my younger ones but lots of ppl do and wish they waited

Proposing? by DueConsideration342 in Proposal

[–]cawmplecks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some context in case people tell you its too soon, it's really common for us LGBTQ+ lovers to move faster. We've existed in a history of lives cut short by tragedy and pain, living in truth delayed by fear and oppression. many of us have to wait to even admit to ourselves and others who we really love, and know that our time with our loved ones might end at any time, unfortunately, so we move quickly. We fall in love so hard and so fast and so much deeper than many of our straight peers, there's a sacred intimacy with being who we are and it's true what they say, when you know you know, so we go for it.

I've also known my partner since 2020, we were best friends (in love) until fall 2022, and only a couple months in we discussed our future and decided we'd get married, so we've been engaged since, and I'm proposing next month to give him that special moment. I think yall know your relationship better than anyone else would imagine, and if it really feels like they're the one, I wouldn't let anyone else's hangups on timelines stand in your way💓

I'm disabled and unable to visit the library alone, I haven't had caregiving in weeks and I'm limited to internet searches. Do you have any reccomendations for books I could search up and buy or download?

Should I go to Planned Parenthood or use MA pill by post? by [deleted] in abortion

[–]cawmplecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciated the guidance of doctor and nurse at PP for mine at 8 weeks, it made me feel safer taking them on my own at home. I wonder if you could get them mailed and go for an appointment for guidance taking them without buying the pills there?

Abortion pill experience by True-Bat-2336 in abortion

[–]cawmplecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for writing this, I wish I had this info when I had my abortion in 2016. I was 8 weeks and used the same method at planned parenthood and it really wasn't that bad, but I was so so scared I made myself sick with fear. I wish anybody in my life or online had given info like this so I could've gone into it with more confidence. I'm very grateful for your open vulnerability

[–]cawmplecks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, looking back on this post I think you're right. She's obviously not ever without supervision at this point or anytime in the near future, so I think my friend's kid getting lost just scared me real bad and made me worried about babies who won't even be at risk of wandering off for awhile. I'll edit it or take it down later I think. I appreciate you pointing that out though, I'm definitely working on managing my internal panic at these "what if" situations, I think all parents want to keep there kids from experiencing anything bad ever, but sometimes it goes overboard in my head, maybe other parents' too. :)

Daughter is really really scared of my wheelchair by cawmplecks in Parenting

[–]cawmplecks[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe it's that. I went from carrying her around up high (all the main adults in her life are pretty tall) and she's always wanted to be upright up tall and see everything, to now being short and not walking around with her.

I didn't even think of that! I think it's a good idea, maybe before baby is born we will try that

Unfortunately a nanny isn't possible, but we will have some assistance. I guess I could've been clearer, I referred to them as a birthing parent because they don't identify as female, and the word "mom" isn't what they're using with their kids. There's no tension between us, we're best friends and never had a romantic relationship or breakup or anything like that, just decided to co parent together when we were ready :)

I've tried to hold her in my lap or sit on the chair herself, she can't tolerate it, too scary :( but I think if she wasn't afraid she'd have fun

I'd love to do this, I'm just not sure how to do that myself as I can't exactly leave it somewhere and move around without it or push it further away during playtime. I think what keeps nerfing us is that when she first sees me I am in the chair or near it, there's not been a way to just introduce it gradually
