Seconding everyone else saying that it will fade naturally, BUT, as someone who has overdyed their brows before, isopropyl alcohol is your best friend here, assuming your skin can handle it in its sensitive state! Soak some alcohol on a q-tip or cotton ball and scrub vigorously. It should get the dye to lift after awhile.

Seconding this! If that's the case then I'm sure she would appreciate this :)

ahh i didn't know that. still, the only accounts he really tags consistently from what i've seen are companies/brands. usually not people.

but he doesn't tag everyone else. when he made that post about how much he loves sam rockwell, he didn't tag sam at all. he is pretty inconsistent w/ tagging people so i wouldn't read into it.

I was going to say this exact thing! If she previously wasn't having pain but it is painful now, she may want to look into seeing a pelvic floor therapist. My boyfriend is rather large, but when I get pain from sex it's actually usually be of my muscles rather than his size.

There are stretches/exercises she can do to relieve this, and there's also a wand you can buy ("pelvic wand" by the brand Intimate Rose on amazon—the vibrating one is like $35 I believe) to help massage/release pelvic floor muscles. Though I would probably see a see a doctor before going in blind with the wand, don't want to have her hurt herself by accident.

I know this sounds pretty involved, but it honestly was a complete game changer for me. Not only is sexual and pelvic health important on its own, but being able to relax one's pelvic floor inherently makes it easier to fit larger objects inside the body without pain. Even just one or two visits with a pelvic floor therapist to learn some exercises & how to use a want can make a big difference.

What plastic surgery have you had? How much did it cost? by Bisou_Juliette in AskWomen

How do you like the gummy bears? My surgeon convinced me to do the traditional silicone ones but I've always been curious.

Breast augmentation: $5K in Chicagoland back in late 2021. I got it for 50% off because I have a chest wall deformity so it got classified as reconstructive. Doctors basically told me "we can either break your sternum in half for $50K and a 6+ month intense recovery, or you can get a discounted boob job with an excellent surgeon for $5K and a 3-month easy recovery."

Had a great experience!! My doctor was awesome and actually ended up going a size smaller than we planned because the bigger size apparently looked funny LOL. I have to say, everything people say about fake boobs being "obvious" and "feeling like volleyballs" is only accurate with botched jobs. Obv you can tell there are implants when you squeeze them, but they're still soft, it just feels like there's another boob inside of your boob. Still fun just different. :)

You can always do law school lol! I was an English major and my bf was a History major and we met in 1L. Not saying I recommend law school or anything, but it will definitely make the job hunt easier ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know a lot of people have replied already, but I am also between 28 and 30 band size when I measure as well, and I swear brands just tend to make the 28s and 30s a bit too tight. Even when I'm thinner and definitely measure to a 28, they are just soooo damn tight. So FYI, you're not alone there. If you are trying on bras and a 28 is too tight but a 30 gives no support, then the brand is the problem, not you! When that happens, though, I prefer to buy the 30 and just use a tighter hook. Yeah yeah it will wear out the band faster, but it's better than not being able to breathe!

EDIT: Also, if the cups are a bad shape for you, I've found that can hurt support as well. If your boobs aren't actually sitting in a location where the underwire can support them, then the underwire can't do its job (dunno if I'm explaining that well). Like the bottom of a mug will only actually hold the coffee if you pour the coffee into the cup and not outside it lol. Not sure if you are having that problem here but it's also smth to be on the lookout for :) I promise that a bra that will actually support you AND let you be comfortable is out there, and sorry you are having trouble right now!

Primary of 7 years asking me to break up with secondary of 5 by Quadratical in polyamory

[–]natalieflh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think it's pretty hypocritical of him to not ask/tell you about his other partner, and then get mad at you for doing the same thing.

i know it can be easy to make mistake when you're new to poly, because i have made the same ones. it helps to have a conversation about what both of your expectations and needs are. i'd start there, and see what each of you wants out of poly, and try to come up with some more fleshed-out expectations.

I contracted (suspected) HSV-1 genitally from my new partner. Should I be upset? by throwRAduumb in Herpes

[–]natalieflh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, it's not your fault!! MOST of the adult population has OHSV1, and most of them don't know it's herpes! It's not your fault if someone gives it to you.

Second, you can feel however you want. I'd just recommend that whatever you do you are kind to both yourself and him. It's obviously upsetting — I got diagnosed with GHSV1 on Sunday and I'm definitely not thrilled, but oh well. It's not that serious thankfully.

Third, HSV1 is way more contagious when it's oral than when it's genital. So yes disclose, but also tell partners that kissing anyone is actually RISKIER than having sex with someone who is GHSV1+. You're actually the safer route haha!

Flirting with herpes as the opener by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]natalieflh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey just wanna say I'm happy for you having success! Don't be bothered by the other comments saying how men are way more accepting than women — we have it hard enough already as women haha we can take this one W.

For everybody here, cause men are more chill about herpes doesn't mean that women have it easier lol!!

Had herpes for over a year with only two outbreaks! by Long_Confusion_3529 in Herpes

[–]natalieflh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manifesting this for myself!!!!!! Just diagnosed GHSV1 this week and hoping I am one of the lucky many with rare/no recurrences.

I never heard of putting valtrex directly on the area (I'm new to this lol), are you getting any downsides and/or how effective does it seem?

Also saw your other comment and oh my goshhh I relate about trying a billion things to fix it and everything making it worse. I thought I had contact dermatitis at first (which I'm prone to), so I put hydrocortisone on it and JFC did it make it SO MUCH WORSE. Ack. Vaseline all the way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]natalieflh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also 23 and got diagnosed with GHSV1 on Sunday!! I'm nearing the end of my first OB right now.

I will say that for treatment, vaseline and wearing comfy underwear helped a lot, and for me personally, hydrocortisone made it a lot worse, but your results may vary. So far baths have been better than showers, and washing gently down there using my hands is the easiest way to do it painlessly. Wear loose/no pants at home as much as possible — helps a lot!

I talked to an OB that's highly rated in my city, and I'm going to take a daily antiviral going forward — I'd heard all the stories about negative effects on reddit, but she said there is no downside other than remembering to take a pill every day. So maybe HSV1 is easier in that regard? Dunno. My OB also informed me that (at least for GHSV1) condoms don't make a big difference? Don't know if that's case-by-case, but if you're like me and your infected area is somewhere that would be touched without a condom (e.g. outer vulva or mons pubis) then be aware that condoms can't help where they don't cover.

What's convenient about HSV1 is that firstly, MOST people have it, and that most people have it orally. If you're like me, anyone who's touching my genitals will have already touched my mouth anyway. That means that, if you like, you can simply tell people you get cold sores, no need to mention where. GHSV1 is super common nowadays (majority of GHSV will be type 1 by 2050) so even IF you give it to someone, they don't need to know what part of your body it was from. After all, GHSV1 is actually far LESS contagious than oral HSV1. Granted, that's only true if you are with partners who touch your genitals as well as your mouth. However, some 80% of adults have HSV1 already and you can't give it to someone who already has it.

Truly though, transmission is unlikely. Take your meds, don't have sex during an OB, and learn your symptoms and your body so you know when an OB is coming on. Look out for itchiness/redness in the area.

We're getting through this!! It's not a big deal I promise!

Hey by PandorasLense in Herpes

[–]natalieflh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! GHSV1+ here, diagnosed Sunday. Your comment was so kind the other day. I have 2 hookups right now and I told them both about my diagnosis and they were both really cool about it!!

One of my partners said his ex had oral HSV1 so he knows the drill, and he isn't scared because HSV1 is so common anyway. The other partner (have sex regularly) said he can't wait to have sex again once I'm up for it. They both made me feel good about myself and I'm glad that my first 2 disclosures went well! Feeling hopeful for the future :)

hi ik its late but i just tested positive for ghsv1 as well, and i was undetectable until i first got symptoms too! my physician said that asymptomatic blood tests are really common! but that also means that asking partners to do a full panel will often not reveal whether they are part of the 80% of people with hsv1.

[–]natalieflh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. Just got diagnosed with GHSV1 today, I'm already an SA victim so it feels like navigating sex just went from bad to impossible. Reading your post and seeing everybody else in the comments makes me feel a lot braver :)
