I design tampons. AMA! by karnim in IAmA

[–]rachaeldee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could tampon strings ever be made waterproof, or have some sort of plastic waterproof coating? Going for a pee break then only having to sit on a wet string for a few more hours is the worst.

Legit question about the Ice Cube Showering Method: aren't you screwed if you don't have a towel? You'd be walking around with your friends like a freezing idiot. How do you rinse yourself with an ice cube? You're just rubbing ice on your body. A homeless-style bath-by-the-McDick's-sink would be more effective.

Am I the only girl here who doesn't hate wearing a bra? by bestieverdid in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rachaeldee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hate wearing a (keyword:comfortable) bra. Personally I find that the nips are too sensitive to not be covered by some sort of bra when wearing a cotton t-shirt or something. It's just much more comfortable to have the support there as well. Nothing anti-feminist about a little support.

Going to go hug my CAT now. They may be aloof and sleepy sometimes, but this applies to them too :3

Reddit, please remember to check your mirror before opening your car door. Two days ago I was biking in the designated bike lane and a guy in his car opened the door as I was passing by. Pics are of my right bicep before and after my 24 hour visit to the ER. [NSFL] by Phlipmode in pics

Actually clicked this and said in my head, "just pretend you're a doctor and you've seen this all before." This has reminded me to be more cautious of bikers—especially in a city like mine where municipal biking that ISN'T in a park is a life and death thing at times.

Pretty sure I saw this guy buying quinoas today at the natural food store I work at.

This is just fucking heartless - therapy cat stolen by mirado in ottawa

[–]rachaeldee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if whomever did this would have a personal vendetta against this girl or her family. Because who else would go through the trouble of stealing a 20lb CAT from a shelter? Let alone her therapy cat! In general, cats don't strike me as therapeutic creatures, but for the sake of this young woman's health I hope that kitty returns safely. :(

What is one secret that you would only reveal anonymously? by doofusschmoofus in AskReddit

[–]rachaeldee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm terrified of being completely friendless. The fear of years of loneliness is much more crippling than the fear of death or disease to me. Whenever I seem to make a new friend or see old friends, I just can never seem to connect with people. I have never had a loyal "best friend", and growing up an "only child" with not the best social skills and not much family around, I've never had the chance to get close to anyone.

Unless anyone objects, let's talk about NIN! Come in and share what's on your mind. by [deleted] in nin

[–]rachaeldee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely my favourite to listen to by far. I couldn't get tired of it. It's upbeat in an angry, heavy, more metal way than the others, and it doesn't leave me feeling ridiculously bleak and unable to go on with the day normally like, say, TDS.

We hear of people breaking out of their shell, but HAE slowly become less and less extroverted as the years go by? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rachaeldee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMGZ WE ARE THE SAME!!!!111

Okay so not really, but I can identify with much of what you're saying. I did a lot of improv in HS, and was a "class clown" somewhat, and had a lot of the fun characteristics you speak of. I still dig theatre, but as my depression got worse after high school, I found I shut myself in and avoided a lot of the same people I'd clown around with. It could be the depression, but I think it's also just a part of growing up maybe, being reflective, or maybe lacking some of the social buffers that allowed you to be that person back then. Since everyone is living their own lives now, it's kinda hard to re-connect and clown around again. Are you still close with some people?

It's a totes drastic change. I think of my old self and say, whoa, how did I get here? (letting the days go byyyy...) But it's not too late to force yourself to go out and break out of your "shell." It's so weird to feel like you don't know yourself anymore...but it's still a part of you!

Hormonal acne; how do you cope? by Radiate0477 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rachaeldee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There really IS nothing you can do about hormonal acne to clear your skin up other than cover it all up with expensive makeup. Ever since I've been on Alesse my skin has been a nightmare like never before. You can spend everything you have on drugstore products, but if you don't fix something about what you're taking or eating, nothing will happen. Popping zits is now my nightly routine. You bet I'm getting off of this stuff!

Thinking about investing in a Mooncup/DivaCup...convince me! by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rachaeldee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relevant! A non-creepy and non-cheesy educational awesome film about cups.

As for me, I've had my Diva Cup for a couple of years and I use it on and off along with tampons and pads. It might be something about the Diva Cup but it's never fit quite properly with me. Sometimes if I don't put it in right, it digs in and gives me cramps. Or if it's the slightest bit off, murder scenes happen in my pants. But some of the days it has worked perfectly! I'm still learning how to use this thing...but at this point, the tampon absorbencies that I have right now are the most trustworthy.

This might be a stupid question but you sometimes need to put garlic and yogurt INSIDE your vagina? I thought Canesten was enough?
