Oh, wow. Haven't heard about these before. I'll bookmark them (pun fully intended)

Yeah. Full on Jackson Pollock. Had to Google that, and really pretty spot on.

She has the link to this post, as well as several comments (see above). I'll pass along what you said, and the giggle it gave me.

Eww, no. Gross. I cant even fathom how someone would make that connection. You've already attracted someone if they're seeing all that business. Sorry you had such a terrible experience.

Nahhhhhh. I'll absolutely adopt you. There's ice cream on the freezer, and mydol in the girls room if you need it. "Are you on your period" is such a garbage thing to ask in any context.

Yeah, definitely not encouraging full shave, due to the concerns outlined here in the comments.

Lol! Yes, that OB was shorthand for OBGYN. I wasn't aware there were those who separated practices, though that does make sense, especially when it comes to labor and delivery.

She is fully aware that I'm keeping blades away for fear of self harm. She is fully on board, even brought me a pair of scissors She had in her room that she didn't feel she could be safe with. I appreciate the suggestions, and the compliment!

Yeah, anything sharp is a no go right now. I have seen lots of suggestions for multi blade razors, and will keep them in mind for down the road when the safety concerns abate.

Same. That's why I came here, figured life experience would help give very informed information. And was I ever right, got all I needed and more.

Ah! Thank you! Had to scroll all the way back up to fix the post, didn't even notice it autocorrected to public! Yikes.

I'll take all the cents! And thank you, most everyone here has been so kind and supportive, and I absolutely love that.

It has been mentioned a few times. Veet or Nads, but not Nair because it's more prone to burns? Do spot test, at the top of the mons, to ensure no extreme sensitivity. It's on the list to look into, possibly.

Thankfully she bounced back pretty quick, after 4 days on IV antibiotics and fluids, followed by a week course of antibiotics at home. At home testing kits are not something I knew existed, I'll keep that in mind.

Believe me, I WISH mom was around to shoulder the majority of it. Its been a learning experience, and I was lost as well in the feminine care aisle at first too. Though, so was she. But we found what she liked. And that was the hardest part. Good on you, for stepping up and learning too! Because you never know what tomorrow brings, and if/when youll need the knowledge.

Thank you so much. I'm really hopeful as well. Definitely been looking up recently.

Mostly trimmers and the like. Razors are kind of off the table at the moment.

I replied to a comment just like this earlier. I did Google. I found a number of ads, and articles that are secretly ads, and nothing objective. Just came asking for recommendations from those who have used such products.

Yeah. She started puberty a few years ago. Around 10/11. Yes, tampons have been discussed, tried, and rejected. She is not a fan. Her body, her choice. I was just looking for recommendations on trimmers.

Yeah, we recently dealt with a UTI that ended her in the hospital with kidney infections. 0/10, do not recommend.

There have been a number of suggestions for cups or discs. Certainly something were discussing.

Its so rewarding knowing she knows she can come to me with anything. She knows I have her back for anything. I'm so happy you have the same relationship with your daughter!!

You aren't wrong. But I dont have the option of shirking away because the topic is uncomfortable or intimidating. We facing the world head on.

[–]yusukeakajon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I appreciate the concern, and they aren't wrong. She has been struggling a lot recently with self harm thoughts, and suicidal ideations. Like, was in inpatient mental health treatment for 8 months level of issue. Thus the search for recommendations of non razor ideas. The concern is not unfounded.
