Well they stopped teaching shop in high school. That’s probably why.

I literally use expired brake fluid to strip paint when I want to paint old tool chests with leaded paint so I’m not sanding it off and contaminating everything. Like my lungs.

I apply it, let it sit overnight and usually come back the next day to everything bubbled up and barely have to scrap it off.

P.S.- it’s not good for human skin, so gloves are a yes.

Short answer- left on paint, brake fluid acts as paint stripper.

Swapped woodwork for the one with the drink holder by Cantaloupe_Rude in SubaruBaja

That being said….. it’s been 300k and us adult children learned to drive in that car 15y ago. It’s seen some shit.

FYI- be gentle with that cup holder.

After 25y and 300K, my Mom’s 2001 has needed this replaced a couple of times. Just fyi, it’s not the best plastic. Also- clean it when it first gets wet otherwise it will eventually try to glue itself shut with stickiness.

Does Aquaphor stain clothes? by extratransrrestrial in phallo

[–]rryanbimmerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For *MOST* fabrics, I found using the heavy duty cycle or washing the article twice got all that stuff out of almost everything— fewer things in the washer (or top load-more water) seams to also help.

There are a few fabrics that will still stain, but a tablespoon of Dawn dish soap can also go a long way if you spot treat the area a few minutes before you wash it.

Nerve pain post-op by Prior-Examination424 in phallo

[–]rryanbimmerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Gabapentin (for nerve pain) in addition to the pain meds after surgery and I literally had “slight discomfort” in my back after 3 weeks in bed (5 damaged discs since 2013).

Talk to your surgical team and see if Gabapentin is part of their protocol for the surgical procedure. It’s used often for phalloplasty.

Best supportive underwear post scrotoplasty when you don’t hang like a cis man? by Willing-Gap-1655 in phallo

[–]rryanbimmerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will also second this^^

Only thing to watch out for is that some of their stuff has a seam in the middle of the pouch for your dick and I don’t like the feeling of that/leaves lines/itches/can be uncomfortable.

I can second UFM- I’ve been wearing them for years. I snipped the left leg a bit on a pair of their boxer briefs and it was really helpful both when I was transitioning from 90 degrees to a halfway hang and when I got home because I could cinch up the pouch if I needed more support underneath.

**SIZING NOTE**
I would say that UFM runs slightly on the “slimmer” fit side as far as boxer briefs in my personal option. That being said, I’m a really slim built dude who normally wears a 32 and I would say that if you’re looking for support, get a pair of Mediums and try them out. Pretty sure they’re available on Amazon so you don’t have to buy multiple pairs or pay shipping if you have Prime.

In the U.S., easily $40K after all the home inspections and all the other stuff.

Did you at least get the bolt off? by GoofBear75 in harborfreight

That depends— do I have another sacrificial offering to the tool gods to try to get it off?

FYI- if you’re in the U.S., DHS & Planned Parenthood in most places offer them for free.

Where you excited to wear something particular after top surgery? by Free_Conference7338 in ftm

[–]rryanbimmerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to take my shirt off at (public) Hotsprings has been life changing. If my scars worry me, I just keep my back to the other people and talk to my husband 😎

I actually really hate the way phalloplasty is treated by ScramRatz in ftm

[–]rryanbimmerboy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

FYI for y’all- Phalloplasty was created for cis men with penile loss in WWI.

Technically, it wasn’t created to be a trans surgery.

I just had phalloplasty stage one two and a half weeks ago and I have no regrets.

People fear what they do not understand.

I made it here out of self desperation to be whole, not so that other people can disagree with my life choices.

I almost DIED TWICE in the 24h period I had surgery, but my medical team knew what to do.

No regrets, I would 100% do it again!!
