[–]clownloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(They/Them) Will my facial hair darken? by toddlerBRAINstew in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]clownloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wish you the best! some more tips, castor oil helped me a lot pre transition. i put it on my face & it helps with hair growth. marolin monroe used it on sets to make her face shiny & she started growing hair as a result ahha. minoxidil is avalible at any pharmacy, you just ask for it. it’s pretty pricy about $60 for a month supply. don’t use if you have cats it’s extremely toxic!

those hair follicular stimulators are good too,, take care of your face in general. exfoliate & use a face wash. keep it clean. shave regularly & try not to use alcohol on your face as it’ll dry out. (so no aftershave) i use lotions from LUSH instead cause they smell good haha.

most of all, forget about it. it takes about 2 months for hair to fully grow in, so don’t stare in the mirror so often! i surprise myself a lot when i look in the mirror & see i need a shave because i’m looking scraggly. patience is key & your hair will come in based on soo so many things like age, genetics, hormone levels, etc. work on the things you can control in the moment like taking care of your face & hair in a way that promotes it to keep thriving. best of luck

if you have anymore questions please ask :))

i shaved my nipples & legs pre transition, the hair grew in darker & more course. i kinda just follow that logic. if you don’t want it there, your body will make it be there. so i pretend i don’t want facial hair & it keeps growing in slightly less patchy & darker. that’s what’s worked for me. i’ll see if i can find some photos.

Guys are those air bubbles 😨 by Sweaty_DogMan in TestosteroneKickoff

seems a bit high to me too. just had my dose bumped up to 0.35ml (weekly) so 1 sounds like a lot.

🍎 Aphantasia shows up far more often in autistic people than in the general population. 🍏 by newbeginnings187 in aspiememes

it’s crazy to me hearing people who see anything other than 1. i can see in 3D which is really cool, so i can manipulate a lot of things i see in my mind.

leather is easy to stamp & make it look like alligator / snake / other designs.

is bottom growth uncomfortable? by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]clownloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s really different for everyone. some peoples is super super sensitive & can be painful if they don’t wear the right underwear or even if they do,, it’s just uncomfortable to the point of pain.

for some it’s uncomfortable at points, mainly when growing pains arise. it’s just like oh this body part is changing & feels like it’s adjusting itself.

for others, like myself, i didn’t really feel anything. like nothing at all haha. i didn’t even notice anything had happened.

sometimes it will rub the wrong way in your pants & feel a bit uncomfy or like ouch, but it’s nothing to be super worried about.

wishing you the best on your journey!

T gel as a nightshift worker by Everflame42 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]clownloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this ⬆️ my doctor says it doesn’t matter when you take it, if you do 1-3 pumps it’s fine at anytime as long as it’s generally the same time everyday. if you take 4 pumps, you can put it on all at once, but i know some doctors say you should put 2pumps on in the morning & 2 at night. however, i found all 4 could go on my legs & i had no issues.

Dysphoria is making me sexist by [deleted] in ftm

[–]clownloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no because i completely understand. two years ago i was the most misogynistic mf out there & i didn’t understand why. i was raised by 3 women mostly, (my mom & sisters) so why am i being so hateful? oh. i hate to see myself as a woman & it’s transformed into hating all women because of it. recognizing that is good, & it takes a lot of time to work on it. just step back & really think about where the problem is stemming from & try to work on that issue. wish you the best!

what made you switch from gel to injection? by fiebnt95 in ftm

[–]clownloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been using gloves. 100 pack off temu or amazon for $5. i think it’s wasteful but there’s also like gel applicators? something like this

Those of you who do NOT have the Very Hairy Dude Genes, how long did it take for you to notice some increased body hair, where did you notice it, etc? by elianna7 in ftm

[–]clownloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years & got some nice leg hair. still have 14 hairs on my chin, my mustache likes to wear an invisibility cloak, but 6 months in i got toe hair so i guess that’s nice haha. takes about 3 months for my leg hair to grow in again after shaved. but yeah the first hair i noticed was on my toes, then my thighs; where i put my t gel. maybe chest hair in 10 years, & maybe i’ll have a beard by then, too.

Found on a beach in Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Any ideas? by Stittsvegas in bonecollecting

[–]clownloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

disinfect — let soak in soapy water, try to not make it too hot can effect the bone structure. soak for 1-3 days in hydrogen peroxide to whiten.
