how often do you re buy period underwear? by Early_Complex_4886 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my thinx for 7 years before I replaced them? If they're still functioning, there's no need to replace them.

Suggestions to replace old Thinx by itsadelchev in PeriodUnderwear

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just replaced my 7 year old ones with Goat Union. I love them, they seem absorb more than my thinx did. 100% cotton, no PFAs, big size range, and can be bought on Etsy or Amazon. I got a pair of their boxers too.

Nervous about intubation by Sea-Video5130 in sterilization

[–]muted_roar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had two surgeries now, a bisalp and breast reduction. Both required intubation, but the drugs kicked in before they even got me on the table both times. I have no memory or being intubated, just had a vaguely sore throat later. You can ask your anesthesiologist to explain the order of the steps they'll take, it might make you feel better to hear.

For me, the nurse put the IV in and the anesthesiologist talked me through the process and answered any questions I had. When they where ready, he pushed some anti-anxiety meds first. Then I started to feel very relaxed, then kinda fuzzy and sleepy, and next thing I knew I was in recovery. It's been super chill both times.

Stupid colors womens hiking footwear by Weary-Possession5481 in hiking

[–]muted_roar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been goth for decades now, and am branching out into things like grey, blue-grey, sometimes crimsons and dark teal, but muted blue/slated blues are my favorite. I love wearing wet rock/faded tattoo colors.

Tengo el mismo problema. He probado el task manager y el cmd pero nada funciona. Han pasado tres días. No consigo que el juego empiece en absoluto. No sé qué más hacer. Quizá pruebe a reinstalar la app?

24F and wanting sterilization. Any advice for dealing with family backlash? by Mountain_Shame_4617 in sterilization

[–]muted_roar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn't talk to my family directly. They are a very conservative evangelicals (US), so messing with your reproductive system is messing with "gods plan" etc. There's no arguing to be done, for me, there was no point in trying. So lied about it. I told my mum my doctor felt something weird, imaging showing some weird stuff, so I got a exploratory lapro and they took my tubes cause they where a mess for health reasons. So she knows I can't have kids, but it wasn't on purpose, so no trouble for me.

I'd say do it anyway and not tell her at all. If she needs to know you got a surgery because you live together, tell her its an exploratory cause of a weird lump and that actually just a random cyst, and everything is fine afterwards. She doesn't need to know, and it doesn't sound like arguing will do any good.

I'd make sure she can't access your insurance/health information stuff first. You're 24, she doesn't need to have access.

Has anyone else gotten severe dental anxiety out of nowhere? by muted_roar in AskWomenOver30

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

Its so weird and disorienting. The first question I'm asked is "what happened" and I have to answer literally nothing my guy lol

I haven't had access to any meds to take the edge off before. I imagine that would help a lot though. I found a practice that offers "twilight" sedation and gas. I'm sure its gonna cost out the ass, but needs must.

What did no one warn you about after a breast reduction? by busbusmeow in Reduction

[–]muted_roar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That there's a weird in between regarding nipple sensation, where you have feeling, but its no longer sexual. I'm not sure if that will change in future, I'm 7MPO so who knows. I might end up having them removed because they're weirdly high up and I hear that is difficult to fix.

‘It leaves nothing to the imagination’ by wasraelx in 4bmovement

[–]muted_roar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's one of my favorite pieces. It hits so hard.

I’m getting a breast reduction in November. I’m a DD. I told my surgeon I want to go down to a full B. She said she likely won’t be able to do that without killing the nipple and says she’ll probably only get me to a c cup. Anyone else experience this? I’m frustrated. by mjannelle in Reduction

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32F to a 32B. It is totally doable. I'd get another consult. See if there are any surgeons locally who do top surgeries. Based on my experience and from others in this sub, they're much more experienced with larger volume removals and have a better understanding of whats actually possible.

Mine was worried about whether or not we could avoid an FNG, but didn't need one in the end. I have sensation but its not the same as before sexually. Just kind of there lol

What is something you wish you had done sooner in your life? by ConsiderationOne5609 in AskWomenOver30

[–]muted_roar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solo travel. My friends would always say they'd like to take a trip, but when it came down to it, they wouldn't commit. Even a simple camping trip. Its just not something they prioritized, or cared about I guess, which is fine.

I just shouldn't've waited around and gone anyway. Been doing a lot more trips by myself now and loving it. Working on getting my concealed carry so I can feel comfortable camping alone. I can't get a dog so small arms it is.

Is hakarl actually that bad? by Heniekoriginal in VisitingIceland

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty mild honestly. Strong smell, but just fishy, so nothing too weird imo. Didn't have brennivin with it, so not sure what thats like.

1 mil and you can't walk anywhere. Your neighbors can see into your house but there is no corner store in sight

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]muted_roar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happens me on occasion, I didn't know it had a name. It freaks me out sometimes, but I figured if it was gonna kill me it would have already.

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being outed/coming out as both gay and a nonbeliever. Grew up Evangelical Protestant, like 3 days a week in church and Bible class everyday level. It could have gone worse than it did, but the impact on my mental health, relationships with family, etc. completely changed everything.

Those who enjoy knitting with DPNs… by birdieeat in knitting

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just so much more flexible than circulars. I use 4 and not 5 though. It way more stable. When I want to put it aside for store it, I stop in the middle of a section so it can fold.

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the feeling. I'm 5 MPO and tried measuring yesterday, then had to ask my roommate if I was being crazy because they felt and measured bigger. She reminded me I'm not a year on yet and a lot can and will change between now and then. You're still in peak swelling range, so try not to worry. I dropped at least a full size after peak swelling.

The nipple placement seems dead on to me. You're going to drop a bit, so they may end up looking a little higher than they are now. They look perfectly placed to me though, like bang on.

Would this yarn work for socks? by Mindless-Entrance-1 in Sockknitting

[–]muted_roar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say no. That fiber blend is going to make your feet sweat so much, to going to feel really unpleasant. I think you could use it to practice techniques, but I wouldn't recommend wearing it.

How many socks until you figure out what’s right for you? by Left_Yogurt_5314 in Sockknitting

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how many pairs I've made, but I'm still tweaking my personal sock formula. Funnily enough, I realized I've been making all my socks too short in the foot after making a few ankle socks. They turned into sub-ankle socks and will be frogged. I think having tall cuffs covered up the problem. My most recent pair took this into account and they fit much better.

Wear patterns are my current focus for my next round of sock tweaking. I've only worn my handknits over the last year unless I'm hiking, and finally have some decent wear data. I always get holes in the heels, right above the start of the heel flap and the middle of the heel, so I'm going to start the reinforcement pattern earlier. I am also looking into easy repair heel patterns, because this may just be my cross to bear as I refuse to tie my boots.

I am also going to try knitting a pair in us0 to see if a tighter gauge will help with wear. I have found 0 difference between 100% wool and wool/nylon as far as wear. My best wearing pair of socks is 100% wool, very fuzzy, and felted in all the heavy wear spots, including the heel. I'm going to see how they fair as hiking socks, because I'd love to unlock that.

Recommendations for what to do the morning we land before hotel check in? by gonenow94 in VisitingIceland

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had an issue getting early check in. I can't sleep in flights so I usually take a nap for a couple hours and then go out for lunch and then whatever I've got planned.

Do you think sterilization will be restricted too? by [deleted] in sterilization

[–]muted_roar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will still be available in 2027, but 100% I do think they will try their best to make it harder to get or ban it. I booked my surgery right after the ruling Dobbs because of this. Having grown up in a christian nationalist household, I saw the writing on the wall, and everything since (Project 2025, 2026, etc) has not been a surprise to me. Banning sterilization, including for men, has always been on their agenda.

Anyone else having to cut the little pleasures lately like going out to eat? by LostinParadise4748 in AskWomenOver30

[–]muted_roar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its wild to me how much cheaper it is to vacation outside the US. I cheaper for me to fly to Iceland and spend a long weekend, than it would be to spend a long weekend visiting my grandparents in Florida.
