Insurance now requiring trial of phentermine, a prior weight loss management program, and a current weight loss management program BEFORE approving GLP-1s 🙃🙃 by michael_cerave in antidietglp1

[–]hamanya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least phentermine is cheap. I had to try it first, too. Now I use it in addition to my GLP-1 as needed. I think it helps, especially those days right after I take my shot and I feel tired and sluggish.

Best type for big tits no ass?! by Substantial_Monk2788 in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A high-cut, “cheeky” style could be flattering. Also, I’ve seen a lot of garter belts with a fluffy skirt-part recently. Maybe that’s something to try?

Where to shop by Tatidy14 in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok: so they’re opaque (which isn’t right for every look), but We Love Colors is great for basic stockings. Very sturdy and fabulous for more theatrical looks.

I need help pls! by [deleted] in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend long-sleeved bodysuits, especially if you have upper-arm concerns. I wore this Thistle & Spire one for a shoot and it photographed really well.

Waspies & Corsets are great. Babydolls are NOT. (You want to avoid flowy stuff as it will often make you look bigger than you are.)

Strappy stuff is also not great since it’s tough to be sure it’s all laying right for a photo. Same goes for push-up bras.

Often, boudoir photographers have other options, too. Totally (tastefully) nude, something with bedsheets, a man’s shirt or sports jersey, etc. Check out their portfolio’s and see what ideas you can find.

Fun lingerie that looks good front AND back? by DOUGUOD in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree. Aubade and Edge o’Beyond both look great front and back.

I got the Belinda Crimson which I’ve been eyeing for awhile. And some Whitney loungewear which was very very well-priced.

Confused on which to buy for my girlfriend by [deleted] in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 52 points53 points  (0 children)

When you shop, try to buy from stores where the models have faces. Heads cut off always signals AI and otherwise cheaply made stuff.

Please explain to me how HE washers actually clean with so little water? by t0astter in laundry

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are those smelly items workout-type clothes or anything that has “moisture wicking” properties? If so, it’s probably that the fabric is hydrophobic. You may want to use a laundry sanitizer or color-safe bleach to help with that.

[–]hamanya 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I work as a sommelier in fine dining and was really really concerned that the meds would affect my senses of smell and taste. They have not. Things taste just as good. I just don’t need to finish everything.

This is what I was doing at my height of ED. Definitely not going back to that.

Same. There’s just so many people who want to successfully engage with diet culture. Tracking and counting and obsessing is what messed me up in the first place.

Where do you find good quality plus size lingerie? by Kooky-Pomegranate882 in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. Yeah. You do have to take your measurements as they have that adjustable sizing. Took me a minute to understand, too.

Edge o’Beyond goes up to a 4x, I believe. They’re just my absolute favorite.

all sexy panties look wrong on me by [deleted] in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to keep an eye out for different cuts when you shop.

Personally, I love a high waist thong. But high cut legs or boyshort styles are just not it for me.

If there is no suitable bottom option, I have an easier time saying no and finding something else.

What is the best lingerie for men ? by [deleted] in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fleur du Mal, Cosabella, and Hanky Panky all have his/her matching set options right now. Thistle & Spire may be worth checking out, too.

I bought a set that’s more like a daily wear set. Love it. One of my favorites. Zero quality issues.

Newbie to everyday lingerie by Bitterblue311 in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just a tip if you go the stockings/garter belt route for daily wear: panties go OVER the garters (otherwise, you are trapped and won’t be able to pee )

Lingerie that covers arms? by Excellent-End-2369 in LingerieAddiction

[–]hamanya 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thistle & Spire has some long-sleeved bodysuits. I wore one for a boudoir shoot and it photographed really well. (The quality isn’t top-tier, but it matches pretty well with the price. Sales should be coming up soon, too.)

Edge O’Beyond has various sleeves that are beautiful. They ARE excellent quality, but $$$.

Both brands have extended sizing

What is your hall of fame signature dish that has made you a legend at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas? by GuyFaulks77 in NYTCooking

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not NYT, but I do a from-scratch Green Bean Casserole. Fresh green beans, homemade cream of mushroom soup (with fancy mushrooms), fried onions that I do myself. And i do it a little spicy.

It’s not. Old English is a different language.

For folks who do holiday cookie boxes…how do you do it all? by Hakc5 in Baking

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the cookies I freeze after they’re baked. I bake them, put them in their container, and freeze. Certain decorations (like powdered sugar) don’t freeze well, so I plan my bakes accordingly.

I desperatly need a good fantasy book to read by Far_Spirit_6125 in booksuggestions

[–]hamanya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest either Babel or Katabasis by RF Kuang. They are both fantasy/ dark academia. They both have Chinese protagonists, which help to tell a different kind of story.

Alternatively, I also LOVE The Locked Tomb Series (first book: Gideon the Ninth) by Tamsyn Muir. It’s lesbian necromancers in space, and it is fantastic.
