Nonnies with weird periods - have you ever had small blood clots? I'm on like day 3 or 4 and usually when i pee the blood blends with the water. This time it just looked like specks of sand, coffee grounds, and grains of rice, with the largest 'clot' still smaller than a pinky fingernail. They all retained their shape and did not break up or blend whatsoever which is a first to me. What gives? Google only points me towards large clots but this was literally all clots just varying sizes. Saging cause I'm embarrassed that I'm kinda freaking out lol.

I had a blood clot in the shape of a man once. It fell outta me in the shower and slid towards the drain looking like it was waving its arms going down a slide. I imagine he was yelling "weee!" out of his lil clot mouth

Alright I feel really embarrassed asking about this even though this is an anonymous imageboard but, I really do think I have a stinky vagina. I say that because after a day of having worn the same underwear they smell absolutely horrid. It smells sour and strong, best way to describe it is like cat pee. I'd feel extremely embarrassed going to bed with someone and they'd smell my underwear. I don't know what it is :( maybe it's my horrible diet? Does anyone have advice? (also no, I've never had sex before so it can't be a std)

You might have bacterial vaginosis, anon. Do you use soaps in the vag/around the labia? Because that could screw up your ph balance. Go to your doc to get it checked out. Your diet does play a part too though; drink a lot of water to keep things regulated. Include pineapple and/or cranberry juice too if you believe in those articles kek. Your vag isn't going to smell like flowers or candy by the end of it, but it won't be like what you're describing. Good luck anon, you'll figure it out!

So I have an annoying blackhead that won’t leave my labia and it hurts a-fucking-lot when I try to extract it with either my nails or even a tiny tweezer, Its location is pictured in the drawing, is there a way for me to remove it? Sometimes it gets itchy and it’s bothersome. I asked my gynecologist as well and she told me it would leave on its own but it has been 3 years and it hasn’t left yet, I also haven’t gone to my gynecologist in 2 years already so I’m kind of worried about whether is some skin issue or something.

No. 187412

>>187411
a blackhead? damn I didn't even know that was possible. if it's anything like the blackheads on my face, insistently trying to pop it by squeezing the sides (?? I'm not sure how to explain this lol) should work eventually. I don't pop blackheads on my face really hard anymore because it can cause visible broken capillaries but that's probably not a concern on the labia

No. 187413

>>187411
I didn't even know we could get blackheads there. Brb while I check myself

Have you considered holding a cotton pad/tissue that has been dipped in hot water over the area to open up the pore a little bit? It would make removal much easier if you apply heat. Maybe do it in a warm bath

No. 187430

So the cotton panty thing that another poster mentioned is a good start. Do you wear black jeans by chance? Some pants can have a lot of smelliness from the dyeing process, even after many washes. Other colors, too, but black is the worst.

No. 187460

>>187411
sorry but what the other anons said is not good advice, if you pointed to the correct area in that diagram it could be a bartholin cyst which is common and normal but can become very full, painful and inflamed when left to its own devices, let alone if introduced to exogenous bacteria through attempted squeezing and popping
if it is just a regular blackhead or ingrown hair it is also not good to pop or squeeze it. very difficult to remove the full plug of sebum or empty the pus sac yourself without pain/damage/inflammation or infection. try taking sitz baths, with unscented epsom salts or a bit of baking soda, and a warm cloth held up to it (not applying too much pressure) after baths or showers, or just while chilling and hanging out in bed as a compress to help inflammation and eventually draw the pus out
you will want to use a clean cloth each time, change your panties very regularly (breathable cotton for sure if possible), and do not touch it with your hands. not because it is unclean, or any weird stigma about a normal occurrence in the female body, but because even if you wash your hands thoroughly, there will be bacteria underneath your fingernails or in spots you missed while washing, and they can also introduce sebum from your fingers, which might prolong it. the pressure from direct hand touch is also not good, as it may accidentally pop or burst it enough to become infected, without draining the entire pus sac inside of the bump.
not trying to sound stern or bossy, but i had one of these develop into a giant painful cyst and do not want you to make it worse, even if it's just a small ingrown or blackhead right now
the dangers of infection on your labia (even majora!) are worse than popping zits or squeezing blackheads on your face because these areas tend to moisten with sweat or discharge in hotter seasons, they are exposed to urine, and are more difficult to keep fully sanitized.
i just reread your post and saw that this has been ongoing for years, that it is very painful to the touch and that sounds a lot like a bartholin cyst to me, especially because of where it is located. you can get it lanced by a medical professional, and that might help with the pain and swelling. please stop touching it though

I've got a history of problems with eczema and get environmental allergen and stress related flareups. Unfortunately, I've also had BV once before and a lot of fucking yeast infections. Is there a fairly foolproof way to tell the difference between my eczema and other kinds of vaginitis?
My discharge doesn't smell yeasty if I put a finger in, it's basically odorless, and it looks yellowish at best, but idek anymore what my normal smell is and it doesn't always smell the same when I see discharge on the outside or in panties. I'm trying to do boric acid once a day for a few days to "rebalance" after my period, but am worried I could do more harm than good or need to go for twice a day. I also don't know how close to having sexual activity with someone else I'd need to stop taking it. I just want the burning to END. I'm trying zyrtec too and gonna see if it helps clear it up because I'm currently having an eczema flareup.

I've seen all the male infographics and posts about nofap and they all suggest that it does help greatly with overall health, but I'm not a moid and I don't consume porn whilst doing it (which seems to be the main issue for most people). So, are there really any physical benefits that come from not masturbating, especially from a female point of view? Like increased sensitivity, motivation, etc. I can never find a clear answer on this. Is it just a case of moderation?

No. 189698

>>189690
Just speaking for myself, I find benefits from masturbating often. I have anxiety and get random drops in my mood some days, likely just my anxiety levels building up. I find that when my drive is healthy I can almost just reset my mood by getting off. If I hit a slump in my day it's the thing that quickly perks me up again. Gives me a boost rather than tiring me.

I did find that back when I used vibrators it didn't give me the same pick me up, I stopped using them and got back to manual stim. That gives me the type of orgasm where it's more satisfying but also less draining? Don't quite know why.

No. 189700

I seem to have a rash around my vagina, it's a bit itchy and labia is red but nothing odd besides that (I do see like white spots in my underwear but now I'm not sure if I had them before since it's an old one or not). Never had a yeast infection, what should I be looking out for? I'm not sure if I should worry or not, I did use pads two days ago and maybe I have a rash from that? But I also had sex with a guy two weeks ago and the fucker touched his penis against my vagina several times with no condom so now I'm freaking out.

About the health aspects - BC has longterm effects aside from the blood clotting stuff. Yes, ofc you don't smoke in BC, smoking is absolutely not advised when you're on BC because blood clotting chance skyrockets.
It affects liver health and causes FNH (focal nodular hyperplasia - fibrous knots in your liver) which isn't cancerous but can have painful symptoms. It also causes few types of cancer to be more likely in a patient. And much more. I study this stuff and reading BC as a possible cause for so many diseases really turned me off… but I guess that's just a side effect of being in health care.
It's great you have good lifestyle but BC is ultimately giving you some risks regardless of how healthy you are.
I empathise with taking it because being in power of your reproductive health is really needed but I wish it wasn't so unhealthy.

Main reason would be to get a pap smear. I know they can be vaguely uncomfy but it checks for precancerous cells which are obviously a big deal. Really better to catch something like that early and you only have to do it every 3 years. That being said your GP may do them too so you might not have to find someone else, and it should be covered even under the shittiest insurance as a preventative screening. They’d rather pay $100 for a quick exam over thousands for chemo.

A pap is preventative care and usually free under a lot of insurances. You won’t die, and you’re young, so you’re likely ok.

That’s true. Everyone has to evaluate the individual risks for themselves. Personally I hate the Idea to make myself dependent from needing access to surgical maintenance because of solutions like the copper spiral thing or other implants for example, or experiencing irreversible hormonal issues and other side effects.
I don’t get why so many people hate condoms as a contraceptive so much other than them being relatively expensive in relation to how often you use them. If you’re not clumsy and have a bit of experience they are super easy to use and if they fit the guy properly it even helps them last longer which is really nice imo. Of course they can rip if your not careful, but honestly you shouldn’t have sex if you’re wasted out of your mind anyway because there are many bad accidents which happen. Plus if used properly they have better protection from std’s than other options.

It's not common for a guy to actually infect you with their own yeast infection, but it's really common for sex in general to cause a yeast infection. Especially without a condom, even if they don't cum in you.
Basically if something changed in your life (sex /diet /stress /clothes /season/ activity) you can go 'did x give me a yeast infection?' and the answer will be yes.
Idk where you are but in my county you can buy generic 'bv gel' for treating vaginosis, but it just kind of resets the vaginal environment so it works for YI too.

I have no idea how to describe this accurately but a small part of my labia minora and labia majora look like they fused and in between it seems like some hair is stuck, kind of like an ingrown hair but it's outside of the skin. What the fuck is happening. It doesn't hurt so I don't know if I should see a doctor for that.

Can you reach the hair to see if it is a hair? One time I had this weird freak accident where my panties had a loose very thin string that tangled my lips in a small spot and cut off circulation. I didn't even notice until I got searing pain presumably a few hours after.

I know this sounds unbelievably retarded but why the fuck is my canal so small/tight? I can use tampons (up to size R) but can’t insert anything at all, barely even a finger. I assume vaginismus but I’m totally relaxed and horny, I can’t feel my muscles seizing up or anything. It just badly hurts, like trying to stretch flesh that won’t stretch. Literally can’t find any dildo that isn’t too big, wtf. I’ve never fucked a scrote and I don’t intend too I just wanna enjoy my coochie

It's vaginismus. This sounds incredibly counterintuitive, but grit your teeth and try shoving a small, lubed up dildo up there. It'll be painful but after a minute or two your body will realize "wtf, I'm not actually dying.. I guess this is fine?" Do this a few times and it'll get easier each time.

This is how I figured it out after trying for a few months. Moving in and out also caused me less pain in those first few penetrations. Good luck, anon

Got to say don’t necessarily write it off as vagismus. I thought that for years about myself but the fact was I was just a virgin. To put it bluntly after the initial “get it over with” shove of the first intercourse, I had no trouble after. I had on previous occasions tried to take my own virginity with toys but it was too much pain to inflict on myself. Just couldn’t do it.

it's not stockholming yourself, it's telling your body to stop unconsciously being a whiny bitch. You can decide if you like penetration or not, but that's irrelevant since anon wants to penetrate, this is how you do it. This is how you get over that hump if lube and patience isn't working

I know clots and tissue-like substance may be normal occasionally, but ever since my mother told me that they were a sign for her fibroma I've been paranoiac because I usually have them every period. As far as I can tell I've always had them but I just didn't know that they could be dangerous, I thought that's just how the period is sometimes. They're dark and almost like jelly or tiny pieces of soft meat/tissue. My period's also been changing a bit (it's lighter) so it's making me worried. Does anybody experience something similar?

I have an unusual problem I could use some advice for.

I recently took a course of antibiotics for an abscess I had minor surgery to remove on my lower back. Now, the antibiotics were incredible, but somebody should have showed it a picture of what bacteria it was supposed to kill, because it massacred all the good bacteria in my vagina and left me with a yeast infection.

This is apparently a very common side effect of antibiotics. Would have loved if the doctors or the piece of paper in listing side effects told me that so I could have prepared for it.

The thing is that I can't walk while the abscess is healing so I'm limited to helping myself from my own bed/bathroom.

Could sudocrem help me?

Your problem isn't unusual at all, I'm actually going through the same situation right now. If you're still on the antibiotics, take a probiotic supplement 2 hours after taking your antibiotic so the good bacteria have a chance to survive. Eat lots of things that contain lactobacillus like yogurt, kimchi, and kefir. Sudocrem will help, but you might be better off using a miconazole nitrate cream. I'm wishing for your swift recovery, nonna.

When I put my menstrual cup in, could I use an unscented lotion on the cup as a lubricant, or would it be a bad idea? I don’t know if it could somehow shorten the cups lifespan (like I read oils can), or if it’s bad idea to use it while on my period…

TMI for context on the question I live with my family who like digging through my stuff, and I’m a virgin, and if I owned lubricant they would find it eventually and start prying. My mother is very freaked out by the idea of menstrual cups and tampons and has used pads her whole life, she’s one of those people who believes tampons “take your virginity.” I myself have used unscented lotion up there before for getting off but honestly I don’t even know if it’s a good idea.

Same for me. I've gone to two different gynos and they both said everything looks normal, pap smears and tests all came back normal. They diagnosed me with vaginismus but I don't think that's it at all.
The closest I've found online is vulvodynia (even tho it's not exactly my vulva that hurts? it's right at the entrance of the vagina, hurts even if I lightly barely touch it with one finger).

I semi recently stopped breastfeeding my 2nd kid, which sort of helped. I also got the mirena in March, so my hormones have been kind of all over the place the last few months. I know the dryness is likely due to a lack of estrogen.

I want to have sex and it not hurt or have to use a ton of lube (which only really helps the outside area and not inside). I am super horny but the dryness is really keeping me from dating anyone. I’ve been single for over 1.5 years and I’m horny af. I have dick lined up but I’m nervous.

I am also super sensitive. It looks terrible if I shave close. Red, ingrowns…the works. So I close shave as much as I can with a trimmer along the bikini line(with the grain) and the rest I just trim down with little scissors. But basically I just have a bush. As for the butthole…I shaved that once and regretted it two days later. Nothing like tiny pokey hairs aggravating your butthole for days on end. Don’t do it.

Guys have told me they like the bush…tickles their dick a little (so they say). Why do you want to shave your butthole? To make it more presentable? Unless your ass is terribly man-hairy, I would leave it. Body hair is normal.

I shaved for years and dealt with the fact I'd have stubble 10hrs later (very thick, dark hair that showed through the skin even when freshly shaved) but getting it lasered off was the best decision I've made regarding anything hair wise.

This is odd. So about six months ago, I bought some new underwear; super comfy, softest things I have ever touched, I loved them. After wearing them, I would notice a strong, disgusting smell when I would go to the bathroom. It would smell like… garam masala, but more sour. It was fucking disgusting. I noticed the smell would not be noticable if I wore other underwear I had, so I had a look at the soft undies are made of 62% modal, so maybe it's just the material my coochie doesn't like.

But now, even after not touching those modal undies for a while and wearing cotton ones instead, my vagina still has that same smell. Before it would have an almost sweet, but otherwise very normal and non-pungent smell, but the odd sour curry smell lingers. I haven't been eating anything that carries a strong odor either.

I tried having sex with my bf for the first time without much success. My hymen is fleshy and the vaginal opening has the tiniest hole to allow menstrual blood through. I’ve never put anything in there, fingers or tampons or dildos, and I don’t do sports that would stretch it out.
He tried squeezing his penis in but he’s too big and was wearing a condom which made things slippery and hard to accurately place/control where his penis went. The condom kept slipping off him too. We’re both virgins so sex is a first for us and we don’t know how to get it in, especially with my fleshy hymen.
Any tips on getting it in the first time without pain? When he tried it, it was very painful. Even his fingers hurt so much.. but once he gets them pass the opening, it feels pleasurable.
Idk maybe I should’ve put this in the sex advice thread but I guess I just really want to stretch my hymen out so I can finally have sex. I was thinking if I let him use more fingers, he might be able to finally use his penis. Should I get a lot of lube? Take painkillers?

Can yeast infections be very light greenish in color? The discharge is thick but doesn't smell like anything at all, not yeasty or bad. I was recently fingered by someone and I'm wondering if it's an STI,since it's all I get when Googling green discharge, but from the few pictures it looks like the discharge for trichosomiasis is thin?

But then I've had something kind of similar in the past when I wasn't sexually active at all. I also started using a vag soap not long before.

I will go to a gynaecologist (I hope, took me 8 hours calling around to find a general doctor to take me in this new area I moved to), but just wondering if anyone has had the same thing in the past?

anon lol I can relate to this so much that I thought I wrote it myself, and it has encouraged me to write something I wanted to write here for a while

I'm also scared to touch down there, I can't even use a tampon. Instead, since I was younger, mostly to help me fall asleep too, I rub against my hand or blankets, when I was porn or read Literotica lmao, etc. I can't tell if I have ever had an real orgasm or not, I too sometimes have soaked panties when I do so. I am so so inexperienced, retarded, and useless due to my age (25). suffering from my mental health and social anxiety since I was 17 heavily contribute I guess or I am just inept. I feel so embarrassed and pitiful typing this that I am probably going to post and not check back.

I bought a menstrual cup for the first time toady. I got the size 1 DivaCup based on the age/flow guidelines on the box (I'm 27) but now I'm questioning if being a virgin makes a difference and if I should have gone for the 0? I've always used tampons and I'm fine with that but I had a pap test for the first time last year, which is the only time I've ever really been stretched and it hurt.

Monthly reminder that no trannies will ever pass.

You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.

Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

I remember buying a "normal" size Diva Cup and it was so big and uncomfortable that it put me off menstrual cups for another year. I really think you should always err on the side of smaller cups (go off-brand even, I have a Pixie cup now personally) and go up from there, especially for foreign objects that go up your cooch when it's not aroused. Cups hold more blood than you think so overflow is a near-nonexistent issue unless you're abnormal.

Imo being a virgin makes a difference since cups are more involved than tampons– you need to arrange and retrieve the cup with your fingers, versus just stabbing a tampon in a general direction.

Thank you so much, anon. That's really helpful. Now I wish I'd asked beforehand, but I kind of bought it on a whim because I'd been wanting to try one for a while and saw they were on sale today when I went to pick up more tampons.

Since I'm not allowed to return it even if the box is still sealed, I guess I'll try this just to see what it's like and look for a smaller one if it's really uncomfortable or doesn't work out.

So yesterday and today I've been experiencing burning pain from around my vaginal entrance to my anus. It doesn't hurt when I pee, I don't have a weird discharge but it gets pretty bad if I sit for too long and I have work to do.

probably the first thing I’d check for is a yeast infection. They can take so many different forms, not always yielding weird discharge, and can affect both vag and butthole zones. Since the OTC methods are mostly vaginal suppositories you might see if your GP/gyno/urgent care can give you diflucan which is taken orally.

Vaginas are generally kind of lumpy n bumpy on the inside so I wouldn’t be alarmed, but probably a good time to get a Pap smear and mention it to your gyno or GP that you’d like them to check for that bump and see if it’s anything to be concerned about

No. 200535

I had my pap smear test today and it took almost 30 minutes to get done, with three different attempts. I most likely suffer from vaginismus which is why the doctor couldn't get the speculum inside, we had to stop for a while and I had calm down for a while.

In the end the doctor had to call in a more experienced doctor because she couldn't find my cervix. It still hurt like hell but the other doctor managed to find it somehow.

I've been bleeding all day long and it still hurts. Thankfully I am not interested in vaginal penetrative sex so this doesn't cause me problems in my daily life.

sorry if this is the wrong thread and spoiler for tmi, but i think i just had my first orgasm! i've been trying to have one for years, feeling super weird and defective for never having had one, and it even got to the point where i thought i could never have one because of a mix of being too sensitive on my clit but my vagina consistently being way too tight to fit anything in. but i think it just happened!! it wasn't the whole waves cresting stars exploding whatever shebang, but it was really intense and it made me (good) cry a bit lol. i know people always say 'oh, you'll know when you have your first', but I'm still kind of paranoid that i just overstimulated myself to the point of not being able to take anymore? however i've also kind of decided that i don't really care anymore, lol. i feel a lot better about myself right now!

Same. Well I did technically masturbate successfully with my hands once(just rubbing the clit), but it took sooo long, like around 30-40 minutes, which didn't feel worth it in the end because it took so much time and effort for just one orgasm. Meanwhile I can orgasm in like a minute, maybe a even a little bit less, with a vibrator. I wish I could be one of those women who can get off with just her hands but idk if I could ever get to that level. Tbh I think the problem is that my clit is small and I'm not sure if I could find a way to make it easier. And with fingering I can never do it, like I always feel like a retard whenever I try lol, it feels really awkward and idk how to angle the fingers going in or what to do with the other fingers on my hand.

The reason why you should wash , say, your armpits is due to personal discomfort of being stinky in day to day life, discomfort for others so that they don’t have to smell you. However, I don’t smell my pussy in everyday life unless I actively try to smell it, I don’t have any sexual partners and nor do I plan to, so those are poor reasons for washing down there. However, I did some light googling and apparently left untreated, smegma can harden and lead to irritation in the genitals, so I should probably clean it just in case

not really an answer to your question but personally i don't wash mine with soap, just water, because i've found that if a drop of soap goes anywhere near it i get super irritated. im very careful removing smegma etc with my fingers + water. of course ymmv but i've been doing this for years and nobodys ever complained about any smell/taste so its all good with me

There are soaps that are designed for use in this area if you're interested in that. I used one for a while and although it didn't irritate the area at all, I also didn't notice any benefit using that over just water. Like you I don't notice any smell and never gotten any comments about the smell, taste, or cleanliness. To ayrt, whether you clean it with just water or use a soap designed for use on the vulva it should be fine, but it's always a good idea to remove gunk from any part of your body because leaving it there could make it itchy and irritated.

I think I've talked about this before, but sometimes when I'm on my period my sex drive goes off-rails.
But there are other times when my high libido appears along with some type of insatiable hunger, and I feel like I need to stuff myself with food all the time. Once, I had some oily noodles while experiencing these feelings and I literally felt like I was having a makeout session while eating them (kek).
I don't know if this is the way my body tries to replenish the loss of blood or hunger is tied to sex drive or whatever. I just wanted to share this because I'm curious as to whether other anons experience these sensations too.

No. 201848

Yeah this is very common. Most girls will have this sensation around their period, a lot of people will call it pmsing and it's kind of a joke that girls will have insatiable cravings for chocolate or sweets. But it could be for salty or savory foods too. Also the sex drive thing is also common, in fact its sometimes the only time I crave penetration even tho I don't like men

Maybe part of it is the body trying to tell you to intake more iron or vitamins from blood loss? Next time its around your period try to eat more iron rich food and see if it helps.

I was totally freaked out by the growth of it at the time and tried to stop masturbating as I thought maybe that was what was causing it.

I had sex for the first time in 2 years and it hurt SO MUCH, there are small spots of blood a day later when I wipe.

The foreplay was good, I was eaten out for a while and figured I was ready from what I know of my body, even if a little nervous. But insertion was quite painful, then when all the way in it hurt less, then again more as time went on (though his technique was really good and I came I think).

I'm 30 now, last good session I had was at around 25, could it be aging? I get insinuations of that when I google of vaginal tissue thinning, but I guess they're talking more post menopausal. I was considering vaginismus too since tampons can hurt, but it wasn't this involunary clenching, plus the tampons hurt once theyre inside, not during insertion. Also I was checked out by the gyno like a few days ago and found infection free and he didn't see anything wrong in the vagina. My partner got tested too and nothing.

Is it just because it's been a long time?

I think if you have any doubt over whether you came or not then you usually didn't.

Pornsick males develop a death grip, which is gripping their dicks tightly to coom, because that’s the only way they can get any pleasure, then they start going for the prostate because their dicks end up dying from the constant use.
They think that it’s pleasurable for us when the vagina tightens because it’s pleasurable for them, they memed themselves into thinking that women feel good if they’re tight because of the

Yes, I don't trust his knowledge of female biology whatsoever. He has only had one long term girlfriend before me and they became a couple when they were teenagers, so it makes some sense that his exposure is very limited. And yet it fascinates me how this phenomenon slipped through despite that.

Shoving something into a tight tense hole vs shoving it into something relaxed will make a difference. It made a big enough difference to where my ex would ask me to grip his dick harder (kegels) when he was about to cum sometimes.

But it's not really a major difference imo. I don't have a peepee tho

No. 202364

I feel really weird posting about this but I’ve been wondering about it. I only orgasm from clit stimulation and I kind of tense myself (?) like kegels I guess while masturbating. If I don’t “tense” myself (I don’t know how to explain it) it doesn’t really feel good. I’m kind of jealous that other girls can squirt or cum because when I orgasm my wetness doesn’t change/I don’t get any more wet. I’ve tried to relax myself when I’m about to orgasm and stop tensing but I still don’t cum. Is this normal?

nonas i asked this on masturbation thread before and a lovely anon told me i'm too young to have not getting wet problems but im a dumb bitch and didnt follow her advice because i could not not masturbate for a week, im dry as hell with my partner wtf is wrong with me? we do foreplay and hes really into giving oral but i dont enjoy it, tbh i would even say i dislike it, finger stuff im indifferent to but it doesnt get me off either. I only orgasm when im alone in my room watching porn with my vibrator. We cant do anything but hump each other cause i'm too dry and tight. I get wet when we're not having sex like kissing and stuff but once the clothes are off i'm dry as fuck. So weird why is this happening? maybe i cursed my vagina too much when i was a teen and this is my payback because i'd get like gallons of discharge when i was younger to the point of changing undies twice a day and i do remember being dripping wet while having sex before but i was on drugs so idk if it was because of that. I just dont get why? i'm attracted to my partner and we do foreplay it should be smooth sailing. Idk if its the glands or my brain its so embarrassing.

>>202364
i think its normal, im still not sure how squirting works but i'm positive that its not a common thing i think it happens every once in a while, i didnt even know that women were supposed to cum after orgasming what would even come out? i'm clearly not the best person to answer this after a whole paragraph talking about my dry vagina but i think moids glorify squirting and "cumming" a lot because they think female orgasm works like male orgasm like how they ejaculate but its very different, its totally normal to orgasm and not secrete fluids imho

I am miserable.

I had a UTI for 2 years. I took antibiotics 4 or 5 times. I kept coming back because they didn't do anything, and each time they'd test me and be like "yeah you have a UTI, here take these antibiotics". The last time that happened was about a month and a half ago, and the doctor told me that I might have BV because it can cause recurrent/persistent UTIs or something. So she just said to take these antibiotics and wait about 3 days and come back if I still had symptoms. I took the pills and felt like I was getting better at first, but ultimately nothing changed. I also quit taking d-mannose because it stopped doing anything even though when I first took it it helped me to pee less frequently.

So I kept putting off going to the doctor but I finally went back because I couldn't put it off anymore. At first my UTI was making me have to pee at least once an hour which was bad enough, but then it got to the point where I was having to pee 2-3 times an hour and almost nothing would even come out, not to mention pelvic pain and discomfort. I actually got paranoid at work that they would think I was just going into the bathroom to look at my phone or something, but no one has said anything.

I have also been having this pain going up my side. It's like a line of pain on my far right side that goes up my ribcage and actually makes it hurt to breathe in deep and hiccup. I thought this was completely unrelated until the doctor I saw today asked if I had back pain, and I said no but told him about that. He also asked if I had been having nausea which I have also been having lately.

They did a vaginal swab and a urine test and apparently I don't actually have a UTI anymore. Which scares me because I still feel like I do. I do have BV though, and because I'm a dumbfuck when the doctor asked me if I would rather have a vaginal insert or take antibiotics I said I didn't care. Which was SO fucking stupid, I would rather take pills. But anyway, that's irrelevant.

Now I'm scared. I don't have a UTI, but my body is acting like I do. And now that I think about it, it seems like someone once told me that after you get over a UTI your body can still act like you have one. I'm not 100% sure on that though. I am crossing my fingers that this BV treatment will make the frequent urination go away but Idk. Has anyone else experienced this?

No. 203393

hi i don't know how weird is this, but i lost my virginity and despite the sex being insanely enjoyable i couldn't cum. It felt more like being on an all time high than getting pushed over the edge. Is this normal? I still very much enjoyed it so, i just don't know how weird this is.

anon i had a similar issue i constantly get UTIs, I've heard women are very susceptible to UTIs because our urethra is shorter and some women are especially more prone to getting recurrent UTIs which I believe am a part of. I relate to you so much its the most annoying thing having to go to bathroom like every 20 minutes. Dont know if BV can cause UTI-like symptoms but it makes sense. I think if your urine test came clean you will be fine. One advice I can give is maybe investigate the source of your UTI if its recurrent there must be something that keeps reinfecting you, it can be your partner because it usually is. For me it was my vibrator i would clean it after use but any time i used it on my bare skin i would get UTI so now I only use it over my panties and havent had UTI in 2 years. Also your body and the bacteria that causes UTI develops tolerance to antibiotics over time so antibiotics may lose their efficacy after a while its not good to take them so frequently.

I got a cup last time I got my cycle and I find myself leaking after 4 hours when the cup is filled about 2/3rds.

Yes, I heard this from several female friends. Went back to normal after one or two months.

The most likely explanation is that it's your body's response to stress. Mounting an immune response is stress. Catching a viral infection can also affect your cycle.

I can't talk to anyone about this because I'm so ashamed but my doctor thought I had herpes so just gave me antivirals and left me to deal with it when I was suffering with a errosive condition that I now believe was lichen planus. Don't Google it, it's nasty
I've lost part of of my clitoral frenulum, my clit has receded and the hood has tightened due to the errosion and one inner labia became shorter.
My vagina still looks normal but it's not my vagina, the way my clit has receded has left the area looking deflated and older and I have less pleasure. It's been a long time but there are still scars that I think make me look diseased.
I always had a strong sex life but now I don't even want to be touched down there by myself or my boyfriend and sometimes the scars hurt. This is my body forever now just because some stupid doctor didn't believe me when I said there was no way I could have herpes.

Apparently it's very much recommended to use seperate razors for different parts of your body, there have actually been people on forums telling stories how using the same razor for everything caused some infection because bacteria are almost always there and different parts of your body have and are supposed to have different kinds of bacteria that shouldn't end up in other places. Apparently you even need a seperate razor for your armpits. It sounds dramatic but also makes sense when you think about it.

any other anonitas completely loathe their downstairs regions? at this point i wish i had any other body. i've always had a mole on my pelvis, which made me insecure since childhood. i have long and dark labia minora. some days my vulva looked alright to me, so i decided to even check out a few gynecological surveys to convince myself i was 100% normal, but apparently my labia size puts me somewhere in the 95th percentile. i also have chronic hemorrhoids and skin tags from anal fissures (genetically predisposed to both), but since i experience no bleeding or discomfort from either, it's not an urgent medical issue. but it makes me look like my anus has its own fucking set of mini labia. as much as i'm skeptical about the benefits of labiaplasty, i couldn't even afford one if i was really sure. i don't want to get hemorrhoid surgery, because i hear it is extremely painful and doesn't prevent future piles as i am already genetically predisposed. all of this severely undermines my already negligible body confidence. i'm in my 20s and never had sex. since i have an extemely small social circle, i have zero chance of meeting anyone organically, and i assume someone who would like me for my personality wouldn't care so much what my vulva or ass look like. alas, i have to use dating apps to meet someone, but i'm petrified at the thought of having sex with a near stranger. everyone online expects sex at least by third date. i'm scared that i'll hear mean comments or someone will just ghost me after sex because i look so gross. tf do i even do to feel a little bit better? anyone else have this issue?

Anyway, I was poking around down there w a mirror bc when i was cleaning myself the other day i felt a tiny, hard bump on one of my inner labia and was like wtf. When I googled it, I realized it looked like one lone, tiny (like 1mm) genital "wart" (pearly, shiny, sticks out like a tiny tentacle) but I'm a virgin so I know I don't have any STDs.

No. 204472

You have to be pretty comfortable getting up in there. One of the biggest pros is just how much liquid they can hold compared to a pad or tampon though so you shouldn't have to empty it too often.

I used to use tampons and as someone who pees ten times a day I hated trying to keep a string dry or feeling gross when I couldn't keep it dry because of my crazy stream. I think that was weirdly the tipping point for me to switch. If you're sexually active you can receive oral as normal with the cup in. No outside signs that you're even menstruating. Win

I haven't given birth and I think they can be tricky. They can be fine to insert but sometimes you have to really dig around to get them out or get them to unfold, which is annoying to deal with when you're already in a bad mood and bleeding all over the place. When they're in place they're great though, they can handle heavier periods.

Diff anon but this yeah. I've used cups in the past and I'm about to try it again next cycle but I have pads bought as back up for this reason. On a particularly bad month it can send you (or me at least lol) into a rage having to deal with it not popping open the first try. If the first insertion goes wrong and you're crampy and not in the mood it can feel so shit to have to deal with it.

Not old and definitely haven't given birth, and I have mixed feelings but mostly positive. If I wasn't so retarded I'd be all about them, but I still can't figure out placement well enough to put mine in and avoid (minimal but still annoying) spotting 100% of the time. Despite that it's awesome sticking it in in the morning and not having to change anything all day, plus they feel "cleaner" than pads and even tampons to me. I have a heavy flow and the cup I use isn't even full by evening. Don't feel it once it's inside, and insertion isn't too bad but it is annoying getting it out sometimes/breaking suction and I've definitely had to stick my fingers up in places I normally wouldn't. I wouldn't say it's ever caused pain, but time and discomfort, yes. If you have the patience to learn to use them properly they're great

I'm also like you and have a bit of a hemorrhoid issue. I hate it and wish I could fix it but I don't think I can.

>i'm petrified at the thought of having sex with a near stranger. everyone online expects sex at least by third date


I would be too, please don't have sex with someone you'd still consider a stranger, at very least not for your first time. I met someone on a dating site earlier in the year and I've seen him a bunch of times and we've not slept together yet. I'm a virgin like you and I explained that to him and he's been great about it and willing to wait. if a guy expects sex by the third date and would dump you if you didn't put out then he wasn't worth your time anyway! if he's a decent enough guy to wait then like you said he probably wouldn't care about what you look like down after getting to know you for who you are. all vagina feels the same too, a strong dislike with how your labia look would probably indicate pornsickness. what your anus looks like also shouldn't factor much either for a none pornsick guy. that kind of thing would indicate to me he was interested in anal which is once again pornsickness. if that were the case then kick him too the curb. guys like that aren't worth the time or effort. you'll find someone anon!

anons, i had sex for the first time at the age of 21 with a bf i had for 1 year. and i dont understand one thing.
we had ots of problems with penetration, he couldnt get in the first maybe 8 times we tried it. after that he could but despite it aching and hurting A LOT when he did a suddent movement… it just didnt feel like anything?
idk like it didnt feel like something was in me at all, like i imagined i would feel being "filed" (gross term, sorry).

is sex supposed to feel this indifferent? i enjoyed dry humping way more than penetration even when it wasnt near my clit. fyi, he was also a virgin so it might just be inexperience.
i also have problems with dryness and my bf is apparently above average in terms of size (16 cm). i think it wasnt enjoyable to him either cuz he didnt cum but told me it was because he was really excited. idk if i believe that.

tl;dr:
1) is sex overrated and doesnt feel like anything except discomfort?
2) do you feel like something is in you when you are being penetrated? or do you not feel it.

Can't help you with the sex part since I'm a virgin who's used toys for years but it does sound like:
You weren't turned on enough for your vagina to open up, you needed more water based lube if you can't become wet naturally, maybe your hymen didn't actually stretch open fully the first time, and I hate to tell you 16cm is average 18-22 would be large. Many anons have said they get off more from their clit or foreplay which is why straight penetration doesn't do much. To me penetration doesn't do anything if I'm not turned on and did something else outside of it. I know there's some rare disorder where penetration is painful no matter what which you could look into.

Nope, that's normal. Penetration is meh for most women, and now even guys don't get much pleasure from it because they are death gripping themselves.

this line killed me, bless your heart nona, the scrote is lying. about your situation are you sure it actually went in? your bf sounds retarded so he might've been rubbing his dick on your labia thinking he's in, if you're very wet also both gets mixed up from the woman's perspective and you can mistake it for having it inside you, been there done that. unless you felt it with your hands and watched it enter, it literally might not have gone in. penetration is rarely enjoyable and orgasmic but regardless it should feel like something its not normal to not feel anything unless he has a pencil dick which i'm not experienced with, how girthy was it?

No. 205325

Hey anon. Im pretty sure it went in, i actually checked it w my hand too.
I would say he's average in girth too but i honestly have no understamding of dick sizes. I thought i didnt feel smt "inside" because i was too focused on how painful the opening felt. Also when you say "your bf is lying", do you mean hes lying about what the average is?
>>205296

Thank you both. I heard a lot that penetrative sex is "meh". I tricked myself into thinking it would be good i guess. Also to first anon, we did use a lot of lube because without it, it was very bad. Thank you for both of your perspectives. I guess i'll just ask to focus more on oral next times.

I'm a 'virgin' whose only used toys and it can hurt for a few seconds when it first goes in. But it doesn't last long and it definitively feels good when I thrust it at the correct angle.

Nonas I think I want to get my implant removed but I don't know if I'm just being a little bitch or not. I got it back in May and for the past month I've been super dry to the point of discomfort and irritation, interrupted by spells of hot inflammation which is terrible on it's own. Had a recent check-up that came back clean, so I assume it's not an STD.

Honestly I'm so tired of BC in general. I don't have a BF, I'm stuck living with my parents for work so I'm not getting any on the side, and I'm here for another year at least so I just kind of want to get back on the pill or just give my body a break.

Any advice? If an implant is giving me trouble now after only fiveish months, what are the realistic chances it'll calm down for the rest of the fie years? If you've been in a similar situation, what did you do to relieve the discomfort? If you were me, would you get it removed? Keep in mind it's free in my country for my age bracket.

I don't know what the circumstances are around your recent sexy time but thrush can spread from sexual contact so you might both need thrush treatment if you're still sleeping together and you want to prevent re-infection. You can get stuck in a cycle of reinfection sometimes if you only treat yourself and not your partner. Given you've had this for 2 months now he might want to use cream too if you'd any signs around the time you were intimate.

Okay nonnas I am gonna get my pussy ate for the first time tomorrow. I'm kind of worried about first impressions so if anyone has tips for me regarding keeping it smelling nice and tasting good (other than the basic hygiene), or avoiding certain things that could make it smell/taste bad that would be great. On a more serious note I'm also anxious because I don't think my vagina looks especially nice. I have a bumpy labia minora, I think they're called fordyce spots or something. Basically clusters of small skin toned bumps that you can see when you stretch the lips. I'm a virgin and no one has ever touched me there so it can't be an std, and I've had them for as long as I remember looking down there, but it doesn't really look so good… Do any anons here have the same issue and did your partners ever comment on it?

1. drink plenty of water. this is important for literally every chemical process in your body, but if you're dehydrated you'll taste saltier than usual. also you'll probably lose water sweating, crying, and thoroughly enjoying yourself
2. do not strive for your pussy to smell or taste like anything other than what is. it's really not feasible and frankly unhealthy. luckily pussy smells and tastes DELECTABLE so you'll be fine
3. nobody is going to nitpick your vagina! nobody worth having sex with, anyway. i doubt the other person will notice, much less comment on it. t. recent virgin who also has strange bumps diwn there

I'm ready to be made fun of, but here I go:

I've noticed that I am becoming less sensitive in my clitorus. It isn't numb, it's just not really as sensitive as it used to be. I do have a vibrator that I use maybe every 2 or 3 days, has it damaged the nerves in my clitorus? If I just stop using it, will my sensitivity return? I don't want to (for lack of a better word) "break" my clitorus

No. 206946

>>206942
Some people will say you can't lose sensitivity from vibrators but ime you kinda can and can benefit from taking a break from them for a while here and there. I used to use them alot. I had a job where I had to (not sex work, I just wrote about products) Once I was out of that job I put my whole collection away and trained myself to be able to get off manually again. I've rarely returned to using them again.

We do get into habits sometimes that make it hard to get off in any other ways, and going too high on toy settings can make that even worse. I'd try taking a break and using your hands for a while. Might take time. You can then go back to vibes and just try to use lower settings. Use them in moderation, switch between hands only sessions and toy sessions so as not to get into a set rut.

If you are on any new birth control or psych meds that could also play a role in sensitivity but you didn't mention either.

No, I was confused for a while about a lot of women saying it was the most stimulating position when I felt the least doing it. That is until I changed up the angle of penetration. It might seem obvious but have you leaned forward at 45 degrees and just tried grinding your clit against his pelvis/hip area? I don't really bother with in and out when I'm on top (unless I already orgasmed and want to get the guy off). That feels best to me and definitely offers more clit stimulation than any other position, but when I was just bouncing up and down at 90 degrees I felt nothing. I feel it's definitely a clit and not a g spot kind of position. Reverse cowgirl feels decent in terms of penetration since it's at a more severe angle but you have to be careful of breaking dudes' dicks when you get going faster. Such delicate flowers

What worked for me was to masturbate to orgasm with clit stimulation first, then try a finger.
Orgasming first really helps to loosen up and lubricate. Only put in as much of the finger as makes you comfortable, and try again next time.

I used these from 18-21. I only stopped because it was getting tricky in public & I got diagnosed with endometriosis (explained my very heavy bleeding). When I was using them I was a virgin (no toys or anything either), but had gotten used to tampons. I mention this purely for reference - you don't need to be older or "experienced" to use a cup. I didn't have an issue inserting it, but it took practice. I practiced when I was ovulating, because there's more natural lubrication then.

You need to find the right size and get used to inserting it, that's all. The ones in your pic look rigid but I assume that cup design has only improved since I last used one, so it's probably just the pic. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the one I bought, I bought it off the shelf (by tampons and stuff) and chose the small size, I tthink. It was completely clear. I didn't have any issues with it getting stained. Boiled it once a day to sterilize, etc. (used a pad at night).

Farmers I'm cringing a bit and I need to let it out and feel more normal:

I had a vaginal examination today just to check a cyst that had been infected recently that has now almost subsided but I have a little bump somewhere in my vulva that turns out is harmless. However, outside of my smear last year it was the only time someone's ever examined me and I had mild gay panic.

I had a really comforting doctor who was chill and she's probably seen it all before but I was an apologetic mess because I hadn't shaved through lockdown and I've come off my peroid so I've been a bit hormonal on and off since and I'd been running around at work all day. When she was trying to get my legs to open more, I'd panic and worry I was going to queef or do something embarassing so I was probably really awkward. I was worried she would think I was a pervert for flinching a lot because I bluntly said "sorry, I'm a bit sensitive and self concious" and I'd not had to do this before but she remained patient and kind. Is it normal for gynos and doctors to get people like me who get shaky and nervous? I feel so bad.

i dont know if it couldve gotten stuck up there but tampons do unfurl after they go in and as it soaks up blood it expands in size. If a piece got stuck up there it should eventually fall out with your flow. Dont worry about toxic shock since its not an entire tampon.

Is it normal to have a "curved" vagina? I know it points backwards towards the spine but when I stick my fingers up there it feels like it curves around a round bone.
I could just be perceiving it that way but I've never been able to insert a tampon or cup and I'm wondering if that's why. Never had sex either.

Apparently it's called the 'pubic symphysis' It's like a cartilage joint between the bones. Comes in handy during childbirth.

I got no education on that stuff as a kid/teen and the first time I ever felt my insides I thought I was poking my pelvic bone and it fucked me up seeing as I was expecting something very different. When you're placing a tampon in you kind of tuck it behind that hard curve so I was always squeamish at the thought of it just being bone that you poke around. It was only lately that I learnt it's not even that. It's a disc of cartilage.

Thanks for asking this question, I've also felt this and been wondering for a while. Is it possible that depending on the placement of the cartilage it can make it penetration uncomfortable? Whenever I've masturbated I never liked inserting anything and I think it's because of that. Tampons are uncomfortable too.

So I’m at a loss nonnies, but after a day of sport my underwear smells like onions. Very strong. And I don’t know if it’s from sweat glands in my groin because my vagina itself doesn’t seem to have that smell and no weird discharge. It’s only after sport.

The Ordinary’s glycolic acid has worked great for me in keeping the onion smell at bay, although I’ve only used it on my underarms. I apply it with a cotton round after a shower and I don’t smell at all throughout the day (even with no deodorant). I wouldn’t put deodorant around my inner thighs (feels a little iffy to me for some reason), but you might have good results with the glycolic acid too.

It can be normal, sometimes women have "functional/follicular cysts" and these rupture during ovulation, causing some mild symptoms.

I've had them (gyn showed me one on ultrasound) and didn't know that this is what caused my ovulation symptoms sometimes.

TaylorR had one of these and decided to preach doom and gloom (iii have cyyysts - nah, you had one unlucky cyst, sis) since hers was one of the exceedingly rare ones that caused a complication. But that's retarded bc most women will experience follicular cysts and many don't even know they get them.

Irregular periods are really common. I'd recommend going to your OB for a full check up to make sure it isn't caused by a medical issue. It could be due to a lot of stress in your life or your dietary habits as well, but it's good to rule out the serious stuff. You can also refuse birth control if they try to prescribe it to you. If it's not caused by anything severe and the irregularity doesn't bother you, there's no need to worry about it or take any medication.

Basically, I only suspect I have a UTI. A little over a week ago I had a very short term infection, lasting I think one day. 2 months before that was my first ever UTI, I didnt take antibiotics. I've taken D mannose and cranberry pills since that short term infection, and felt absolutely no symptoms. I skipped a dose saturday and sunday evening and now I feel a little itchy, and feel like I need to pee but only a little comes out, so I'm guessing there's still something there.

Question is, should I keep taking just the D mannose for idk, another week to see if I fight it off or come off it to see if it IS actually a UTI and maybe et antibiotics because maybe I'm doing myself longer term damage by having an infection even if there are no symptoms.

No. 216285

If you're still concerned there's a lingering infection, I'd definitely recommend seeing a doctor for testing and to get some antibiotics. You don't want to end up in the hospital with a kidney infection. I have had some clear up on their own but it's worth getting checked out just in case.

Could be your lube that's causing them, or otherwise it's a hygenic issue. Some women are more prone to UTIs than others based on their anatomy down there. Try to avoid getting any lube or secretions near your urethra. The easiest way to ensure this is if you are laying on your back, so that gravity moves extra lube, anal leakage and vaginal mucus away from your urethra rather than towards it. Also drink plenty of water beforehand so you can have a good pee afterwards to help flush out anything that may have made its way into your urethra.

NTA, why would someones butt leak omg

No. 216710

>>216705
Well leakage may have been the wrong word. When you have sex or masturbate with penetration, some vaginal fluids will unavoidably make their way out of your vagina. These fluids often come in contact with your anus and gather anal bacteria no matter what position you are in due to the anus and vagina being fairly close neighbors. If you are face down being fingered or upright as in riding a dildo or dong, the fluids containing those anal bacteria are more likely to flow forward at some point and can enter your urethra. Anal bacteria is the most common cause of UTIs.

It makes sense for a girl around her 13-15’s to go to a gynecologist if she tells her mom that she feels like something isn’t right.
Like, I’m an hypochondriac idiot, and when I went with my mom to her yearly appointment at the gynecologist because I didn’t want to be home alone, I asked the gynecologist if my breasts were okay because I thought they were lumpy.
The thing is that if a girl at that age says that she has vaginismus or something like that, well, it will depend on how her parents could deal with it.
I particularly would be worried for obvious reasons, but then again, if you’re used to using tampons, not pads, and your kid wants to imitate you but the tampons don’t work for her, then I guess it makes sense if the kid is worried, and then she gets diagnosed with vaginismus.
Not everything is about sex, I think, maybe I’m being naïve.

Girls are getting their periods much earlier than in the past, and generally everyone should go to a gyno for annual check ups at the very least.

You should probably try therapy. Vaginismus is 99% psychological. You have to realize that much of the population have gotten dicked/dildo'd without issue for thousands of years and that fat ass babies come out of there. Relaxing, and being stubborn and determined about it, maybe with the help of alcohol or other drugs, would be my best advice. As someone who have dealt with this for months when I first started to try penetration, it's really just persistence and going for it. You are not going to break, vaginas are very resilient, I promise.

Anyone else starting to feel like 'getting over vaginismus' is a bit of an example of patriarchy/female socialisation, if you can masturbate, and especially if it's just secondary vaginismus? I know this is a bit of a stretch, but considering I'm partially PIV-critical, but I feel like doing something uncomfortable just so you can do something that you can have 'real sex' ,even you're statically unlikely to orgasm during sex (I'm critical about viewing PIV sex as 'real sex', even though women are less likely to orgasm from it). I'm starting to agree with >>208277

Especially since it obgyns are literally encouraging women to drug themselves so that they can experience maturbation/sex the 'right' way'

I know vaginismus makes using tampons and divacups impossible but I doubt that the sole reason why women who spend months, even years, trying to dilate and do something that makes them uncomfortable is solely for the sake of using divacups, which they may not like using

I don't have actual vaginismus but I'm in my thirties and can still only comfortably manage toys that are aimed at beginners. I can use a tampon and get a smear test done ok but I was still looking into those dilator sets lately. I feel ready to date for the first time in years and I was remembering how I much this was an issue in past relationships. I hate navigating this. Past experiences haven't been good.

Thing is I can take an average dick, it just doesn't feel good on my end.. so you can imagine what ended up happening in my past relationships given I was 'capable' of taking it. Even if you can take it, there's the issue of it not feeling right and men not caring that only one of you is feeling good. I do worry that the road to 'vaginismus recovery' often seems to end up where I'm already at. The abiity to take it and the ability to enjoy it are two seperate things.

I already googled this and got nothing. Ive never asked a doctor about this, but does anybody else have like a small slit on their clit? I understand my own anatomy, its not my urethra that I am talking about. My clit sometimes has this white creamy stuff that is coming out of my clit? It doesn't smell nor does it hurt. I pull back the hood to expose the glans outwards and like theres a slit in the center. Its slightly open in a way? Not like a hole, but more like a tiny separation that can be pulled. Ive also have never gotten pregnant despite having unprotected sex for years. Idk maybe im intersex, but i still wana ask.

No. 219146

The clit is homologous to the glans of the penis, so the 'slit' is probably just a dimple where your urethra would have been. It's like having a third nipple, harmless. The smeg and stuff is normal too. If you went through puberty fine and you have normal periods you're probably not intersex lol. Go to a doctor if you're worried about infertility.

When I was in the shower I noticed a cut near my clitoris. It took me aback somewhat, but reminded me of the time a guy had made me orgasm intensely by rubbing my clitoris directly on the skin, when I had only been used to masturbating over my underwear. Later that day I noticed blood in my underwear, but it wasn't from my period, so I didn't have a clue where it could have come from. The night before last I masturbated intensely and rubbed my skin directly. I again felt really nice after but now in the shower I notice this. It has lead me to think that I still am too sensitive to be rubbed directly onto the skin, or that my skin was too dry. I however don't like it when my vagina is too wet externally since it doesn't let me feel the friction of rubbing as much. Does anybody else have experience with this? Any tips or advice? Will I ever be able to be satisfied by having my clitoris rubbed without wearing underwear? Will I always have cuts? Another thing I noticed just now is that my labia and clitoris are a blueish purple. I assume this is because I had been very cold and fatigued the past two days, so my entire body was a bit underheated. What do you guys think?

Having sex with someone who you trust and is patient enough to give you the space to relax. I had this issue and then it disappeared to the point I don't even feel it slipping in anymore. I am sometimes still shocked. I got over it by allowing myself to relax and be present in the moment. I focused on my breathing and only tried angles/positions that worked. When I wasn't in the mood for PIV, I said I wanted to stop and then we just cuddled or he touched me otherwise. The thing with vaginismus is that it is often caused by fear/trauma of some sort. The fear that it will hurt, the memory of it hurting (either from sex or even just a tampon. I remember sobbing terribly each time I still couldn't get a tampon in, because I felt broken and wrong. I was so scared I wouldn't be able to have sex, and I carried this fear with me, which made me close up and indeed struggle with penetration), the fear that you're not good enough to be having sex, the fear that it's going to go wrong, or the very valid thought that you actually aren't ready yet for sex at all. It's important to address these things and allow yourself to heal from them or challenge them by trying to relax and counter these feelings with positive expectations. Another thing that helped me was being fingered first. It let me relax a lot and showed me that penetration doesn't have to hurt. I also explored my body a lot with my boyfriend. I explored how certain positions hurt more or less than others and sought to understand why. I discussed this with him and this communication as well as knowledge really gave me confidence as well as a sense of control. It indicated to myself that I knew my body and had nothing to be worried about. My partner is also really respectful, patient and understanding, so I always feel in control around him. I'm not afraid of him and feel safe. That is extremely important, otherwise you won't relax (and you shouldn't! If you feel unsafe, there is probably a good reason for it and you deserve to explore it!)

I feel like spending an hour trying can be the worst thing for it, it builds tension if it already hurt you and then you keep on trying for that long of a session.

Something alot of women overlook is, you have the option to try out small toys and explore penetration on your own too. You don't have to hand over 'first big entry' to a partner. It can take alot of the nerves (and pain) out of first time sex if you've tried a small toy or two before.

When I was younger I found out I had a hell of a tough hymen and I ended up spending a few weeks with beginners toys working at my own pace before doing anything penetrative with another person. I wanted to do it myself because I was in hella pain even by myself going slowly, I didn't want my first time to be a guy hurting me no matter how hard he tried not to. Hymens vary in shape and toughness so people have different experiences with that hurdle. Recently people have started saying that your first time should never hurt if the guy does it right but that's not true across the board. Anatomy wise it's not the same for everyone. If you have ongoing issues with pain you can always take control and explore this on your own first. Or use a small toy together, use it as a stepping stone up to taking his size.

I think I have a yeast infection. I’ve been smelling like an abandoned beer factory, it’s a very sharp smell as well as being very strong. I know my smell, and this is honestly too sharp and strong for what I usually smell like on a bad day. I also notice that my panty liners usually look like I leaked a yellow or green highlighter in them, consistently. I just question if it’s a yeast infection because I’m not itchy or anything. The symptoms for yeast infections really confuse me anyways and always seem different.

For context it’s been like this for a while now, for like a couple months (I’ve just been ignoring it since the only thing off is the smell and discharge color). I did notice that this happened after my eczema started to develop underneath my butt, around my crotch, and my inner thigh (you know anywhere where the skin moves a lot). I had to put cream there, and I’m assuming the cream traveled up. I use cerave, and I only used it a few times because I was scared it would get into my vagina as I moved around. Now the eczema there is kinda gone, but it still itches everyday so I assume this still plays a role. I also wear panty liners often, I don’t know if this also plays a role. What should I do?

No. 221695

>>221692
Strong smell, yellow/green discharge, and no itching is fairly unusual for a yeast infection so it might be something else (though symptoms for these sort of things can be pretty variable). If you're uncertain it might be worth getting one of those screening tests that can help distinguish between a yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis, since they often present similar symptoms but treatments are different (and mistakenly using yeast infection treatment when you have a BV can feel like hell). Or if you want to play it extra safe you could just go to the doctor to be certain.

Late, but Tend Skin (in the blue bottle) works great for ingrown hairs. I use it only on the upper part of my pubic area. Obviously don’t put it directly on your labia or anything, but on the top of the mons pubis or your inner leg is fine. It’s helped reduce my ingrowns a lot.

Thank you, I didn’t know there were screening tests. I didn’t think about BV, but when I looked into it I’m not really sold. But I could be wrong. I had a revelation yesterday when I smelled where my eczema is worst, like behind my knees and in my elbows, and it smelled just like my vagina. Not as beer-ery, but it definitely had the same undertone I really don’t know what this means, but I suspect I have a fungal infection on top of my eczema (I noticed I have signs of both). It could be candida overgrowth, since that kind of fungus can cause rashes on the skin and can cause yeast infections. But I’m kinda talking out of my ass, I’m not really sure what my problem is.

That takes me back. I used to have a really bad habit of this, everytime i would go to the bathroom i would do this methodically just because it was satisfying. I would actually grow out my pinky nails the most just for this purpose. Don’t worry, I’d clean my nails well after kek. Anyways my point kinda is that i would do this everytime i would go to bathroom, and there would usually always be some, so it is inevitable and no scrubbing in the shower will prevent anything since its just buildup that occurs often. I can see you think its a result of being dirty but its not. Of course i agree with all the other anons, get rid of the loofah, and just switch to freshening up with a damp tp in the bathroom if it bothers you. It’s not like its lime scale.

I wondered if maybe sleeping in yoga pants (I've been cold) caused this, so for two nights I've gone without. It still hurts. I haven't had sex in months.

It's probably just irritated, but you might have some type of infection. There's over the counter kits you can get to test for yeast or BV. Soap is far too alkaline to put anywhere near your vulva. You need a wash that's lower in pH that supports the tissue and bacteria that are supposed to be there, otherwise it becomes a breeding ground for other bacteria and potentially even yeast. Avoid a lot of brands that say pH balanced, because they're usually just going for the pH of the skin, not vulva. Honeypot has unscented washes that are more in the realm of safe and it shouldn't irritate things more.

Just rule out an infection. If it's just smegma, wipe it away gently each time. Wipe from front to back and keep good hand hygeine with anything you put anywhere near there. It's a buildup of oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. That's possibly going to include E. coli if your wipe technique is shit (heh) or because of the cooch to butthole distance there. Scraping it is going to leave microabrasions though, and your fingernails are probably not as clean as you want to think when you're doing that. Your period lowers pH there and makes the lactic acid from your vag slightly less hard hitting though. If you're using pads, switch to a reusable disc for days when it isn't a gore river.

So, I used to be quite wet when I was younger - I remember once when me an ex were having sex he had to actually change his shirt because I made it too wet from missionary. But when I started the pill at 20 y/o for my PCOS it all went to shit and I became the exact opposite. I changed my birth control method and I haven't taken the pill in like 5+ years but I have not gone back to my original wetness.
Even when masturbating and reaching climax I am still too dry to even put fingers, sometimes. And I fucking hate it so much, sometimes my fiance will even get a bit softer thinking that I am not aroused enough and he doesn't want to hurt me, obviously.
Is there any way to solve this? To "reverse it back"? I miss being super wet, I just wanna have fun.

Water intake is a big deal. I can't really tell you about too many options for fixing it, since herbs that might are probably going to fuck with your bc.

I drink 3L of water daily because it's the only thing that actually quenches my thrist, and I don't like soda. So it's not water. The other options do seem a bit scary, ngl! I have an IUD, would that be a problem?
I am not on any other medication, by the way. Also for reference, I'll be 29 this year. I wish I had never taken the pill, it only screwed with my hormones in more ways than that, but I really didn't know better back then.

Moderately embarrassing but I need some advice. I’ve always used tampons when on my period but I had to switch to pads bc I pee myself without even feeling it when using tampons. PIV sex is fine, no pee, no peeing myself otherwise, only with a tampon in. I tried using a cup once, did one practice round and it was okay, and when I tried while on my period the suction didn’t work right so I leaked before I even had the chance to pee myself. I don’t currently have insurance but when I did I went to a pelvic floor therapist for something else and mentioned it, and the therapist just said “yea that can happen”. I wanna go back to using tampons but I don’t know what to do. Anyone experience something similar?

No, anon. Pissing with a tampon in doesn't just happen especially if you don't realize that you're doing it. Did they even check anything or do a workup to see if your bladder sits really low or there's some kind of neurogical wonk? A disc might work, since they're floppy except for the ring and sit up in the fornix vs right up next to your bladder.

Why the fuck are the urethral opening and the vagina so close together? Went to put a tampon in and jabbed myself in the pee hole with the plastic edge.

to clean the vulva, I just spray my labia minora (particularly the areas that gather cheese) with water from a bidet, without any soap, exfoliating or patting dry. I barely touch my vulva when cleaning, only pushing the lips to the sides to get the water into the folds.

hard agree. there are issues that can arise regardless of whether you have sex or not. It's pretty bizarre that you have a doctor so averse to "checking inside" even once. If you had to see a gyn for any medical issue, the standard procedure is to do an examination. A pap smear is quick and hurts about as much as a covid test. The rest of the exam is more or less painless unless you have certain problems (like endometriosis nodules or something)

No. 224366

You just need the yearly, not necessarily a pap. They still do pelvic exams to check for abnormalities like fibroids and a breast check. Her doing an external ultrasound was peak waste of time unless they have increased the quality of ultrasound machines. They usually can't get a decent enough read unless it's an intravaginal u/s

They don't recommend it yearly anymore, they changed it to every 3 years. Honestly paps are so unreliable I don't get them at all, there is a huge margin of error and can give false results and cervical cancer is rare. Some countries perform HPV blood or cervical swab tests instead of pap exams for improved accuracy or they only perform a pap with a clear reason. Why is it that prostate cancer is more common but men aren’t given “well exams” and they have a blood test to check prostate health? Because they don't just spread their legs meekly and suck it up

They make money off of selling the clamp thing swabs etc. Modern gynecology was founded from men sexually torturing female slaves/prisoners and pharma companies experimenting on poor third world women.

This is day 15 of my period. The last cycle I had my period lasted 22 days. I already have the implant–what can I even do to make it less? Before getting the implant I would have a 7 day period every 10-14 days so I don't want to take it out and return to that either. I talked to a gynecologist and I apparently have a disease where you have too much endometrial lining inside the uterus (not endometriosis). My life feels hopeless. I spend so much money on pads and can't wear anything other than black pants and underwear because on top of being abhorrently long my period is also extremely heavy (and painful). On top of that wearing a pad for 75% of my life means that I'm always getting pad rashes and the skin on my vulva gets raw and falls off. I just don't know how to keep living like this.

I don’t know what else is reversible and can stop this that won’t put me into some kind of dangerous hormone overdose range… It feels really hopeless. On top of that I had an ovarian cyst a few months ago that exploded inside my body and made all my symptoms since then worse—but according to the ER, nothing they can do since the rest of my ovarian tissue is “healthy”. I’m terrified it will happen to me again and it’ll just keep getting worse.

Nonnies, I got a period twice during the last month. First was on 8th of Dec and 2nd one on 24th of December, I assume that was because of the stress during exams ( I spent 3 days not sleeping, studying instead). The problem is that ever since I haven't gotten any periods this year. All of my pregnancy tests show negative. It's been three days since my supposed periods should have arrived…Should I go to gyno?

The weird thing that I wanted to mention that during October I caught a small flu for the first time in 3 years, on top of that I had to go throughout stress and take care of my family, so I also ended up getting periods twice. Doctor prescribed me medicine against it but the medicine itself ended up making me pass out. It's all…tough…

My gyno is a man and he is a really strange one, always trying to shill me a birth control for no reason during each visit and generally feels annoyed, so I am just trying to be careful whenever I visit him… A grumpy old man. But that's also me being an anxious mess.

how the frick do you ladies deal with getting smears or having your vagina inspected by a gyno? The entire thing terrifies me, I'm 24 and haven't been yet but I live in the UK so yearly checkup aren't a thing here.

I have vaginismus and when I'm faced with a vulnerable situation like that I clench up and my brain just associates it with being attacked. I genuinely can't think of anything worse than having my legs up and exposing it to a speculum and medical tools.

You don't have to do a pap smear unless you're sexually active and being penetrated. It's hard to tell if you've ever been to the gyno at all, but they don't do anything crazy or painful without your permission. That said if you really have vaginismus you should definitely get that checked out. There may be noninvasive procedures that can help you.

>You don't have to do a pap smear unless you're sexually active and being penetrated.
Please don't mislead >>228156 , it's highly recommended to do pap smears regardless of sexual activity as it's important for cancer prevention and while cervical cancer can be caused by HPV which is sexually transmitted, this is not the only way it can happen. Not being active I'm sure it will be fine to not do it as often as every year, but still should be done.
OP, I think if you tell your gyno about your problems and being stressed, unless they're a total prick they'll make sure to be gentle with you and explain the process well to make you feel more comfortable. Is there any way in where you live to look up doctor recommendations? To make sure you go to someone highly rated by other women.

>>228168 thanks, i live in the UK and I don't even know if there's any tools out there to look up specific good-rated gynos or only good female ones. I've tried googling and looking for ones near me but there's nothing that really comes up?

obviously I have to go through the NHS but they usually just assign you a gyno at random, and I don't want someone who is dismissive of my vaginismus…or worse, a male. I am sexually active but don't have any problems down there, but I just wanna make sure that when the time comes to get a smear it's actually done by someone who cares and is good at their job.

I even tried booking a gyno appointment through NHS a while ago but the waiting list was 50 weeks long and you're not really considered until 25 or unless you have a specific problem.

No. 228188

>>228185 was also meant to add that the only gynos i can actually find near me are all men. i just simply can't do that, it's not an option and i don't want a very vulnerable moment like that with a male no matter how 'good' they are. god this sucks

does anyone else's vagina smell really strong right before or during ovulation? mine will smell even stronger when i'm wet.

my bf will still go down on me but he can't help but to tell me that it even smells kind of rancid. he tells me not to worry and he's still up for oral, but i still feel mortified. and i shower too, i swear!! it makes me not want him to go down on me near the end of the month. could i fix the smell somehow? is it maybe my diet? is this normal?

No. 228286

>>228269

mine does this too nonnita. every month it will smell so strong and sour it's kind of gross to me but I can never pin it on one specific smell. also soaks my underwear so its unavoidable.

my bf was near my crotch when it was one of those days and he was like "can you smell pee?" i could have died on the spot.

I'm willing to bet it's a change in pH and hormone spike. you could try reducing sugary stuff, eating more natural yoghurt and maybe even a probiotic.

It also happens to me! I even wondered if it was some sort of bacterial thing, but the change in pH because of hormones makes a lot of sense to me.
My fiance also commented on the smell once when I came back from the gym and we both had to squat to grab some stuff on the floor before showering. I felt a really big mix of embarrassment on myself and anger towards him cause I thought it was a bit rude.

oh yep i think its rude and I always get so embarrassed about it even though I'm pretty sure it's normal. I always wondered if it was a pheromone thing too tbh, given that it happens at the most fertile part of the cycle? Who knows, but it's annoying asf.

Its one of those smells that seem to soak through underwear and gym leggings too its super humiliating. I have to wear a small pad when it happens or else it feels like I'm walking around with cartoon stink lines.

lmao it is true. I did tell him not to say stuff like that, especially since he knew I just came back from the gym, and he agreed that he was rude. He never said anything anymore, but the embarrassment and self-consciousness is forever.

Is a vagina use it or lose it? I didn't get my period for over a year and when it finally came back, I noticed that I couldn't put tampons in anymore. It wasn't my preferred period product usually, but I don't remember it being this difficult in the past. I decided to look in a mirror to see what was going on and after what I saw, I decided to go to the doctor. She said everything looked healthy, but that I seem to have mild vaginismus and that my vagina is more 'closed' than that of other women. She wanted to give me a referral, but my insurance doesn't cover it. I'm not going to fuck men, so that's not an issue or anything, but I didn't exactly expect to be a stone butch. Dating was already difficult enough without now this too.

Fucks wrong with you?

No. 229201

>>229198 definitely not, nonny. it can never completely close up (unless there is something seriously wrong) and like you said you've had an exam and been diagnosed with mild vaginismus. if you find it difficult putting a tampon in, you could try taking your time to just put one finger in and flexing your pelvic floor.

You should look up exercises for vaginismus too. The vaginal walls are a muscle and like any other muscle, if you don't "use" them in a while they can feel a little different or tight, to an extent of course.

>>229203 she didn't say anything about it magically disappearing or being sexually active, though. she was just concerned about it 'closing up' and being unable to use tampons which tbh was one of my first worries when i was diagnosed with the same thing - and yes, i was an uneducated young woman and didn't know where to ask or learn about this stuff, or even vocalise it.

if you think it seems suspicious then fair enough, i guess. but it's also worth considering that some women don't get taught or educated on this stuff. the "closed" thing is what my doctor described to me, too.

I'm not diagnosed with vaginismus but I've been using tampons for 15 odd years and last year I found I was suddenly having plenty of moments where I would tense up and struggle with inserting one. I'd been single for a while. I'm not a big craver of penatrative play so tampons were the only time anything went inside me for a good while there. Tbh I got a very small toy and maybe once or twice a month I use it just to keep myself familiar and comfortable with insertion. I think I had grown to associate insertion with pressure, cramping and just an all round unpleasant time. That and pap smears because I had a series of exams a while back. I had lost all positive associations with that part of myself. I anticipated it feeling bad and that feeling snowballed.

I'm still not the biggest craver of internal play, I can take it or leave it but a session here and there helps. Like you I mainly just care about not losing the choice to use tampons. I looked at dilator sets at one time but ended up just buying a really slim toy. Some of those proper sets are pricey and I'm not looking to 'get back to full on sex' like some women are.

diff anon but I remember being 13 and at school they handed out these free period starter kits. It was only like 5 tampons in a handy lil carry case and obviously it was designed to get you to try out that certain brand and maybe become a customer… my mom confiscated it from me when I got home! From 12 to maybe 17 she refused to let me own or try out a tampon. She used 'toxic shock concerns' as an excuse but I honestly think it was some dated catholic idea she had about them causing promiscuity.

I had moments where I'd be in a public bathroom and I'd see those vending machines and think about using that as my oppurtunity to secretly see what they're like. It's a weird thing to look back on.

No. 229214

>>229210 I couldn't find any decently priced dilators that weren't huge so I actually bought an inflatable dildo. Sounds dumb but I honestly think they work better than dilators as you can very gradually increase the size and it was a lot cheaper than the dilator sets you get.

I'm in UK and bought one from Lovehoney for 25 quid - 30/40 pound cheaper than the proper dilator sets and it works better than the shitty ones the NHS gave me. It might be worth checking out if you don't wanna break the bank.

Does anyone else have asymmetrical labia minora? I've always had a plumper, normal looking right side, while my left side is more shriveled and almost like the nerves are more exposed? As a result it's a lot more sensitive and my preferred side to masturbate on, gives me really deep and great clitoral orgasms. Downside is because of how wrinkled it is, it builds up a lot of smegma, don't get it any other area. I don't know if this was caused by excessive masturbation as a teen or if I'm just built different but I've always felt like a bit of a freak because of it

I barely masturbated until I was an adult and mine are also asymmetrical. It's completely normal afaik, the human body is simply just not perfectly symmetrical. A lot of women feel self conscious about it, but it's kinda silly considering how common it is. Just make sure to keep things clean.

It means you arent genetically compatible if he finds your most fertile signalling smell to be off putting. Yes you smell more, to attract an ideal mate and weed out bad ones. But your OVULATION scent is your peak attractiveness, you smell fine and good, just not to him, because your genes aren't a good match and his body is telling him that.

alright, this is a weird one but, does anyone elses pubic hair itch terribly when they walk?

it happens every time i walk anywhere for long enough and it feels super itchy but not like thrush or bv etc. it just feels like the hairs themselves are causing friction or itching?
i trim my pubes as shaving makes it even more itchy and worse, and tbh i'm not going to consider waxing or any other hair removal either - i don't like the visual or feeling of it.
could it be the type of underwear i'm wearing? it does get a lot better when i just take off my underwear and wear joggers or pyjamas etc but obviously i need to wear some form of underwear for the gym. any advice?

No. 230478

Have you tried growing it out slightly longer? And yes, the type of underwear could alsocause it. I usually wear thongs since they don't give me that 4 butt cheek look and the fabric doesn't bunch up. Maybe you need something more breathable?

No. 230480

If I trim too short then I get prickly labia stabbing stubble going on. I don't notice it when I'm at home but I'll go for a walk and suddenly feel it.

I definitely get the prickly short hair thing…I'll start cutting down on the trimming too, no pun intended kek. Now I'm just praying that it'll grow fast enough to skip this itchy stage

Anyone else gets blood spotting outside your period? I've been to the gynecologist and they recommended a pap smear but i have bad vaginismus and i'm only in my early 20s so it feels daunting to say the least. the pain and humiliating of vaginismus caused by sexual assault is so bad, i think i'd rather die than get anything inside me again

I get a bit of spotting in my discharge sometimes around ovulation time, I've also had it when thrush and bv have caused little microtears although that heals up quickly.
What does the spotting look like nonna? Is it dark like period blood or pink or mixed with discharge etc? Is there any pain when it happens, or any weird smells or things out of the ordinary?

I understand how you feel about getting an exam done as I have vaginismus too and haven't been for one yet. You should explain this to a gyno and ask if there's any non-penetrative options to go through first. I understand it being daunting though, I am terrified of when I need to get one eventually.

Another anon with vaginismus, doctor used a small speculum for me, tried to make it as warm as possible, took time and also gave the option to take anti anxiety meds prior. She also explained everything she did and told me she would stop any time I would tell her to. It was still painful, but honestly the scraping was more painful than the speculum. I'm still not thrilled about them, but it was less horrifying than it could've been. I think having an understanding doctor/gynecologist really helps.

it really isnt anything to be embarrassed about but I know how you feel. If anyone you get intimate with has an issue with your body producing mucus to keep it healthy then they are very immature! also from my experience (with men at least) they like to see it during penetration? It's definitely not a turn off to a lot of people. I think the most you can do is just give yourself a quick shower or wipe down before sex…that's what I do but I still get more during penetration.

im pretty sure that like 90% of men like it, so no issue with that.
also, as far as i know, it's okay for it to turn yellow after it dries out. but if it is yellow when it comes out/still wet, that might be a problem.
nothing to worry about. if that's a big concern, i feel like most guys like it during penetration because it looks like cum/precum to them.

Gross warning; I know it's normal to bleed a bit during ovulation but is it normal to straight up bleed big chunks? Quite a lot of blood (like a light period) and a lot of dark chunks. I also don't feel all that good, brain fog and slight cramps. This has been (newly) going on last 5 months during ovulation, I asked my gyno and she said to not worry. It worries me a bit though.

No. 237812

Overall from the description it sounds completely normal, the big chunks mean that just at the moment your uterus produces more lining, though it's understandable you're concerned considering other symptoms like brain fog. Maybe you had some changes to your diet latest few months, or lifestyle? In general I'd trust your gynos opinion here that there's nothing to worry about really but stay observant for any more potential changes in the future.

Does anyone off birth control notice sometimes their periods affect them more one month over the others? I’m glad I started cycle tracking because my pms is hitting particularly hard this month and if I didn’t know why it was happening I think I’d actually be suziecidal. My skin has gone to shit, my appetite is terrible, working from home is kicking my sociable ass, and I made the mistake of looking through my college photo album and going into a nostalgia-driven spiral about how I didn’t know how good I had it living in the same city as all my friends until it was over.

Is not getting a period bad? I don’t want kids or anything, but I do worry if a period is something you should have regardless for other health reasons or something.
I started an extremely stressful job recently and while I will still get pms symptoms, there is absolutely no bleeding at all. It’s been 2 months like this.
I do take birth control because I used to have heavy bleeding that lasted weeks, and I was also diagnosed with endometriosis. The birth control I take only has 4 “period days”, which are more like 2 and consists of old blood. When I first started the birth control the bleeding was heavier and more fresh, but over time it’s barely anything and brown. My gynecologist said this was normal when I asked her about it, and she that it was a good thing, so I tried not to worry about it. But with getting no periods at all now, I don’t know if it’s the pills doing this, or if it is actually stress causing it. My periods stopped completely at the start of this new job so…I think it’s stress? But is no period a bad thing? Am I supposed to be shedding whatever lining is left in there? Gyno said it’s fine keeping it in tact but with the endometriosis, I don’t really know.

I am the >>226842 anon. I took prescribed pills, they stopped my blood flow only on 6th day out of 10, I stopped taking them and a day after that I started bleeding. I hope I am being paranoid, but it seemed to have started with my normal period blood colour (darkish), but on a 2nd day I started getting extremely red and bright blood (you would see it on a lot of "pregnancy bleeding" posts and now there is a lot of it that it went throughout my pad. I feel extremely dizzy from the loss of blood and bad in general. I am not sure if I should go to my gyno again or wait it out until it's "supposed to end" like my periods do - they last a week. (Also the blood started during the right "period" time according to my Flo app). I am not sure if I should be paranoid or not, but I feel awful. So much blood and it's all bright red, my urine is okay so it's just me bleeding. I'm sorry for bothering anons. Idk what is wrong with me neither doctor cares about it enough, he shrugged it off, saying he doesn't know what's wrong with me and gave me Duphaston (that's what I was taking).

I hope there's some other nonnas out there that get a similar thing as me because it's genuinely confusing and happens every single month. To also clarify, my average cycle length is 33 days. I'll try to explain this the best I can:

I have normal periods and they're regular, nothing really out of the ordinary there. But, I use Clue to track everything vagina-related and I've noticed that, for the past 2 years or so I've had this weird change in discharge:
So for example Day 1-4 of my cycle I have my period, and then every single month around the days 12-14 I get a huge spike in discharge. It's not clear and watery like most people say ovulation discharge is, it's actually quite thick/creamy, very slippery and a pale yellow colour that looks very pale green/yellow on bleached toilet paper. It doesn't smell foul like fish or something, but it smells really really strong…like discharge smell x10.
Also, because I'm releasing so much of this damn discharge and because of how slippery and wet it is, it unfortunately makes me quite itchy down there as I'm never really comfortable and dry. I have to itch sometimes, then I get red skin around there etc…it's just really uncomfortable. Sometimes there is also a very small singular streak or spot of blood mixed in with the discharge - I don't know if that's something that has actually come from inside my vagina or maybe just a spot of blood from where the itchy skin has been irritated, I can never tell.

Then, like clockwork, it clears up in a few days and I sigh with relief, then it's BACK at around day 22-24 of my cycle, minus the tiny spot of blood. Then it'll clear up again, I'll have my period and here we go again etc etc.
Picrel, I've been looking at hormonal level charts and noticed that on the days I've mentioned, the estrogen levels spikes. Could this be why I'm getting the crazy discharge? I have already tried to book an appointment with a gyno but I'm facing a huge waiting list and cannot afford private care. It's also not classed as an emergency considering I'm not in pain, I guess.

I can generally manage this by just changing underwear more often and making sure I'm dry, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't annoying as fuck. I'm hoping someone out there has a similar thing to me because none of my friends do, and I've had no luck finding out what it may be. I'm also not on any birth control.

Wow, you pretty much just described my cycle. Except for the blood, but there’s a thing called ovulation spotting which is completely normal. Still a good idea to keep an eye on it in case it changes.

I get the crazy amount if discharge at around the same time, although mine seems to change colour and consistency day to day. it’s just gross and I also get irritated if I can’t keep dry. I use washable cloth pads so I don’t have to change underwear and they’re a godsend. Individually wrapped wipes are also handy. Im also mega horny at the same time which makes sense because of the spike in hormones.

Good to know I'm not alone! I never thought about cloth pads, I've been meaning to buy some for a very long time but they're often quite expensive…I guess I should fork out for some good quality ones. Do they keep you dry a lot more than normal pads do? I find that disposable pads just get itchy and sweaty and give me bumps on my skin especially during this super-discharge time of the month.

It's called egg white cervical mucus and it's produced because of your ovulation. It's slippery to help the semen get into your uterus and up to the eggs. During other times of the month your cervical mucus is too thick for sperm to pass. Contrary to popular believe it doesn't have to be completely clear, for some women it is milky. All women get this discharge during ovulation, some more and some less than others but it's a good way to track your fertile days.

Yellow/green and itchy should be cause for concern tho. I think you should get checked out and swabbed to see if you have an infection.

I should clarify that the discharge itself isnt itchy, but that because I produce so much of it it makes me feel sweaty and gets just too moist down there thus I start to itch and irritate my skin. I can't explain it perfectly but I've had bv and thrush before and it feels nothing like either of them. It feels like if you hang around in sweaty gym underwear for hours after doing lots of cardio, sort of thing.

I did think ovulation discharge was meant to be clear tbh so thanks for clarifying. I've already taken yeast and bv tests before and I don't have either.today, I'm completely dry and clear and theres no itching whatsoever, it gets like this every single month.

I use really light pantiliners around ovulation. U by Kotex makes extremely thin ones. Always (thinnest one in blue wrapper) is my second choice. I used to like Always dailies too, but I can't find them unscented where I'm living now.

Only use unscented liners. My partner once mocked me for wearing liners but f it, who wants to have wet underwear or change underwear during the day? It's much easier to change a liner.

I’m 29. Not sexually active nor ever have been. I’ve never been interested in it even since I was a kid or teenager. I’m fine with this. I pay my bills. My bills are paid. I tried to get a Pap smear done at the request of my primary care doctor. Lovely lady. True story it ended up with me practically in tears and my doctor telling me we can try again in a few years with a pediatric speculum. Like she couldn’t get in there and I couldn’t relax even though I kept telling myself it’s fine it’s just a medical procedure. I don’t masturbate and I only used a tampon once when my mom showed me how to put it in ….I feel disconnected from my body a lot of the time when I try to explain to my doctors that it’s just a part of my body I just like…don’t really use. My periods are pretty shitty but they always remind me that all my shit is there and working lol. I’m just kind of nervous about getting another Pap smear in a year or two….how on earth do you sit ( lay down ) through it and not panic?

Vaginismus. I've got it too and I'm in my 30s. Intense, uncontrollable tightening of the vaginal muscles, usually because of anxiety.
I already came with a fear of doctors and my stress/anxiety causes me to be tense at all times (tension in my shoulders at the dentist, sore jaw from clenching my teeth, etc).
My old practitioner helped me through a desensitization process with her after she did a similar exam and realized the severity of it. First it was just getting to my medical/sexual history, she did the breast exam the next time i visited, learning to relax my abdomen so she could feel the ovaries from the outside, next time i visited she did the digital exam of the ovaries (finger insertion and feeling the pelvis), then we eventually got around to doing the pap smear another visit.
I recently moved and had to start over with a new doctor and she gave the fuck up on me, lmao. Thankfully she did the pap, but I was still too tense for the digital exam of the pelvis. I ended up getting an ultrasound (on abdomen only) to check my ovary health. It did reveal some things that answered my questions about what was going on down there that wouldn't have been answered otherwise.
There's a few desensitization exercises you can look up now that you have a name for it. I wish you luck nonny, I know how tough that shit can be. (Maybe also get a prescription for muscle relaxers or xanax before the appointment too, ha.)

Kek. I don't think it's an issue anon. Not really sure how it would be possible to totally isolate the pelvic floor. It's kind of like telling someone to flex their bicep without also tensing the tricep. It's all kind of generally connected and in a similar area. So long as you're not experiencing a fatigued asshole by the end of your exercises you're probably fine.

These kind of drawings are exaggerated, but the female urethra is like 1.5 inches long. What you’re liking pressing against is your actual bladder.

I’m not saying it is or isn’t your G spot but honestly sounds like your bladder. If I do have a G spot, its a ways up there. I can’t reach it myself but a nice cock or dildo rubs on it for two seconds and I’m done.

Your assumption is false. Unless you're excited about hooking up with that person, you most likely aren't going to feel any physical pleasure. There are always exceptions to this, of course. But for another example of this, people don't typically feel any pleasure at all when they're being molested or sexually assaulted, even if they don't receive any physical injury from it. Arousal is just as much a mental thing as it is physical.

Can you make yourself orgasm from masturbation? There's no need for a man if you can make yourself cum on your own, plus it avoids the issue of feeling like you're being treated as a sex object instead of a fellow human. I can make myself orgasm in less than 10 minutes, never met a man who could do it as efficiently and pleasurably as me. So if I'm sharing myself that intimately and spending my energy on another person, they better be really cute and as interested in my pleasure as I am.
>I've got to find a way to enjoy the kind of sex I can have
Except you aren't enjoying it. Sorry, but sex just isn't fun for most people (especially women) unless we are with partners who care about us and actually put in effort to please us. Don't waste time on scrotes who just want to bang you for the cost of some cocktails.

Unless something is wrong mentally. Depression, trauma from abuse, porn sickness, something is blocking the pleasure. You also referenced "the kind of sex I can have" which seems to imply because you've never been in a relationship you feel like you'll never have one and have to settle for these hookups.

Can you get anaesthetic or muscle relaxers before a gyno exam? I want to know all my options before I get the pap smear invite (I'm in UK and soon to be 25.)

The issue is that although not diagnosed officially, I match pretty much every symptom of vaginismus and I'm almost certain I have it due to sexual trauma in my teens. I don't want to be put in a position where I get pressured to "just relax and breathe hurdur it's not that bad" while they jam a speculum inside me and completely disregard the fact that my muscles will form the dreaded "wall" that so many women with vaginismus describe.
I would probably be okay with direct anaesthetic to that area to be honest, although ngl I wouldn't even mind, and ideally prefer, being sedated for a while as I tend to kick or panic and shake a lot. I can only describe it as my brain trying to fight my body, and I get extremely distressed when put in a clinical situation like that.
When I'm alone and dilating it's fine though, because I can control it in the privacy of my own home. However, it's still a struggle.
If any other nonnas out there have advice on how to actually be firm and talk to doctors about this stuff too, I would appreciate it. I've heard so many horror stories of women just feeling like they can't speak up or just going along with examinations they weren't comfortable with. Me personally, I've experienced doctors just completely ignore anything I say or act as if I'm being dramatic.

I think the only way to know is to ask the doctors at your GP surgery. Ask a couple different doctors if just one is unhelpful and escalate to the Practice Manager if they’re all unhelpful. It might also be good to look into a family planning clinic - staff there are usually a lot nicer, well practiced and less cunty than your average doctors surgery gynae. It would be cool if you could report back because tbh after a horrendous pap smear and coil insertion I don’t think I can do either again with a benzo (I don’t mean to scare you, I had some real bad luck with the Pap smear, it absolutely should not have hurt the way it did.

I've never been penetrated and when I looked at my vagina recently it worries me that it would be too small for it. I know they're supposed to stretch (even more to push a baby) but I also suspect I have vaginismus. Or an additional something wrong with me. When I try to finger myself I can't (hell I can barely even locate my vagina that's how clenched it is) and I don't get any pleasure from it. Before you say "that's fine, just don't" the thing is I'm extremely determined to do it. Because I do someday want to have PIV sex and even if not I still want to enjoy fingering myself like other women. I just won't accept that it's not possible, I am resolved to teach myself. Are there any nonnies who overcame vaginismus willing to share advice? I get anxious about it even when I'm turned on and wet, but I'm not going to give up until I can do it. I only plan to let a dick up there if it's someone I'm very serious about and can feel safe with, but that's also what worries me, what if it just doesn't work and we couldn't be together? That's my nightmare. So as you can see there is a lot on the line here, maybe that's what contributes to it. But I'm not giving up

Your vagina is not too small, it's your muscles. For me, I had a partner where sex just didn't work because of my vaginismus, then eventually with my next partner I was able to get it to work. You just need experience.

Do you use tampons at all? That's how I started, it's decent practise for finding your vagina and putting something inside with some regularity. And because there's a purpose to it beyond pleasure/future sex, it might be easier to commit to despite the pain.
You seem very determined though, so I'd say trying with your fingers is just as good, probably better in your case. I'll tell you now you're probably not enjoying it because one female finger is definitely too short and too thin to feel good, and if you have especially small hands it's difficult to get a decent angle. Try putting in two and stretching it out a little bit. That will hurt, at least at first. Once you're feeling brave, get a small dildo or something vaguely phallic to ease inside. That part will hurt the most but I swear once you bottom out it will feel much, much better and you might even start to enjoy the "full" feeling. I wasn't able to take it very far on my own because I'm very averse to pain, so you may need a (patient) partner to help you through this. I'm sure there is tons more advice on acclimating to penetration ITT but I thought I'd give you my personal take.

I relate to your issues a lot and I wish I had been brave enough to ask somewhere online. When I was a virgin, I couldn't even get a tampon in. It was so frustrating and I thought something was wrong with me. I was uncomfortable with using my fingers, too. I had bought an average size dildo thinking it could work for some reason. It didn't and I cried really hard about it bc I thought I'll never be able to have PIV sex. Some time after that, I ended up buying a small, phallic-shaped clit stimulator/vibrator. It actually fit inside one day. Then I bought a thicker vibe a while after that. Eventually I could even use the original dildo I bought. When I finally had PIV sex, it was not a problem either. I no longer have any issues using tampons too thank god

My urethra keeps on getting irritated after sex all of a sudden. It is so annoying, how do I stop this from happening? I've been with my scrote for 3 years and it's only recently become a problem. It is definitely not a UTI as it usually only affects one side and it resolves on its own in 3-7 days. It also doesn't physically hurt to pee in the way it does when you have a UTI. It just feels like a burning on my left side of my urethra and surrounding area. I got a UTI 2x in the span of a month and a half and it healed, but now I get this. Is there a way to prevent it?

I would talk to a doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. If your not sexual active you can try chaste berry and don quai. If you are and don’t use condoms don’t use them it will fuck up your BC. Try mugwort and chamomile and red raspberry leaf. You can make a tea. Warm compresses. Baths with epsom salt and cbd. Ginger and Turmeric and pineapple as anti inflammatories. How’s your pelvic floor? Is it strong or overly tight or weak? There’s menstrual yoga with no inversions too. Pepper heat patches that you can wear like mobile heating pads.

I'm going to the gynecologist for the first time soon and I don't really know what to expect. I mainly want to go because I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my vagina. Lately, I have a strong smell on days with a lot of discharge, and a few days ago I felt this burning sensation when my discharge was coming out, which has never happened before, but it also hasn't happened since. I'm worried but figured this might as well be the time to start making visits to the gynecologist. I'm a virgin though and have admittedly never stuck something up my vagina, not even a finger or tampon. I'm nervous and scared that it's going to hurt. I know they can't force me to take an examination against my will but I know it's better if they can check on my health. Any advice to calm down?

It could be a uti you don't have to be sexually active to get one. But it's good if you want to have it checked out. Ask if you can take something beforehand you go in.

I'm really terrified nonnies! I've noticed burning a lot lately, especially after I wipe with toilet paper. The itching was really bothering me so I took a look down there to see if anything is enflamed. I spread my labia minora and the area in between my urethra and vaginal opening is a milky white colour, and it's never ever looked like that before. It's not discharge and it doesn't hurt to touch, it's just white. I looked online and the only thing that sounds similar is lichen sclerosis? Is there any other condition that causes white skin inside the vagina? I already talked to my doctor and she prescribed me a tablet for the vaginal dryness I've been having. She wants me to wait a while to see if it clears up, but it looks gross and it freaks me out

Is it normal to completely dry when you're aroused, no matter if it's with a partner or on your own? I've tried to look into this and to be honest it's making me feel like something is wrong with me…
I've always naturally had a lot of discharge ever since I can remember inspecting my underwear as a child, but when I'm horny I just don't get that wetness that everyone else seems to. It's literally just like…dry down there, of course it's moist inside but nothing ever comes out.
I already use lube and I'm not afraid to use lots of it, but something about that is just concerning to me…I drink lots of water too and even then it's just…nothing, just dry. I just honestly don't seem to produce any natural wetness and if I do then it sure as hell isn't coming out of me. It was like this even before any of my sexual trauma - and surprisingly the trauma didn't make it any worse, it's just exactly the same.

Could there be something wrong with me? I've heard of women having varied wetness of course but never really anyone being completely absent of it. I guess I'm overthinking it but it honestly feels so unsexy to me like my body is just repulsed by arousal/sex even though my brain isn't, I feel like some sort of dried-up little raisin kek. Do any other nonnas have the same thing? I did try and look on Reddit for some similar issues but I'm very wary to take any sort of advice from people on there.

Nonnie, I am the exact same. But I also get horny very, very rarely and when I do, I can feel the arousal and you know, the throbbing but I don't really get wet, you'd have to really put a finger in there to feel some moistness. I've always attributed this to my extremely low libido. I don't know if it is anything to be concerned about though, but maybe get your hormone levels checked? I've been advised to do that for other reasons as well.

No. 256680

>>255487
late reply, but nonnie do you feel like the muscles of your vagina are too tight (vaginismus), or is it the skin? Because if it's the latter I can relate. I did not have sex until quite late (25), and prior to that inserting anything bigger than a single finger was painful. I never cared because I didn't wear tampons and didn't believe I would ever meet a man, let alone have sex with one. Lo and behold I did meet a guy, so I decided to stretch myself in anticipation of PIV sex so my first time wouldn't be too painful. I just used my fingers, going slow, but it still burned like hell. It took me ages to even get a second finger in. Got to 2 fingers and a pinky before I finally did have sex. Luckily the guy had a bit of a pencil dick. It still burned but penetration was definitely possible; there was no muscle cramping it was all just tight skin. Which was gone completely after having sex a couple of times.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't worry too much. You might just have a tight vaginal opening like me, which just requires a little extra time and care.
But more importantly, if you have any worries go talk to a gyno.

can we talk about the fact that men today literally, unironically believe that the way most women's post-pubescent labia naturally look is the result of years of hardcore promiscuous sex? I know it's just the stupid men, yeah, ok whatever. It still pisses me off. Where did this psy-op come from? To sell labiaplasties? Well, I caved in to the pressure. I have been made to hate my own vulva…it makes me feel like a monster and unwomanly. The internet makes a lot of women feel insecure about a lot of things but nothing besides this really bothers me. Idgaf about my "hip dips" or having "pepperoni nipples" or having a "thunder thighs" with no gap or any of the other ridiculous names the internet has created to mock women's bodies. Has anyone else noticed the obsession people have with coming up with ways to turn normal body features most women have into dehumanizing, embarrassing insults? As a result of seeing all the "roastie" memes, etc (one gif of a woman standing over a fan so her labia would flap about in the wind has haunted me) with man after man after man lining up to mock the woman in question, contribute an outrageously ugly yet actually kind of true drawing to mock it (I'm reminded of one where the labia had been turned on their side to resemble lips, kind of like a duck bill, and there was a microphone against it and the caption was like "women's opinions" or something) has traumatized me. I…I agree with them. Having so-called "beef curtains" longer than like 1 cm is undignified and obscene. If they flap about I now cringe with second-hand shame. Does anyone else feel the same way? I don't care about being a "good feminist" or "not letting the incels win" so keep it moving if you want to give me that lecture. My labiaplasty is scheduled for early June. The only problem is that I will never know if the man I end up having sex with is actually a good one or if he would think less of me if he knew how mine had looked before. I cope by telling myself tiny labia are more hygienic (the edges of long labia seem to be a magnet for bits of tp you don't notice until hours later) and would make me more comfortable (anything but granny panties gets caught in my labia and pulls, and God help me if I don't wear any underwear at all)
I just remember seeing men talking online about how one had lost his virginity and the first time he saw a vagina he was disgusted by the labia but shut his mouth so she would still let him fck her. That terrifies me. Imagine gathering the courage to show someone your body and let him take your virginity and secretly all he is thinking is how disgusting you are, but is cold and calculating enough to deceive you so that he can collect his notch and move on. The man from that forum btw went on to say that he was "relieved" to find out that not all women look like that, including his current wife. And men call US "hypergamous." Rant over.

Men are plain evil and retarded because of porn standards and just being motivated by others to hate women’s natural features and see them as objects to put penis in. I have really long and uneven labia so it’s my main insecurity. I would get surgery but it honestly never bothers me in day to day life and my current long term partner doesn’t mind anyway despite me being insecure. I’ll probably always be insecure but I think doing surgery is a slippery slope for other things to change about myself. I don’t blame you for getting it done since you have other reasons anyway. Another thing is I’ve looked at post op photos and it’s just weird to imagine having a barely showing labia like it’s not actually my own vulva I’m used to and I don’t want my appearance dictated by what some surgeon deems as desirable or necessary.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but does 'roast beef' more refer to the labia size or color?

Men literally have brain rot from porn they don't even understand how normal functioning human bodies look or feel. Yes bodies have hair and moles and don't look good from every angle. Being fed media that only portrays the 'apealing' side to things fucks your perception up.
How are they going to be picky about what a woman looks like if he's been staring at screens all day pulling his ween then going to complain when it doesn't look like the shit catered to him? Esp if he doesn't look like porn standard himself. And yet they can complain if women make fun of their dick size crying because they can't change it.

Probably both darker coloration and the appearance itself. They only want a pink fleshlight hole so anything resembling a unique human feature is different and therefore gross because it doesn’t look like their anime girl porn or teen category on pornhub. The guys perpetuating this are usually disgusting incels or neckbeards who don’t see the light of day and write manifestos about how women aren’t gravitated towards them. They use it as an insult because they see vagina as our only value.

For the first few years that I was sexually active I wasn't really aware of that labia even varied that much. Then I became aware and it was oh ok didn't know but that's a thing. Then another few years later I started seeing men online saying really (bitter incel sounding) fucked up shit about how that lil bit of flesh is somehow ruining the whole woman for them. Then like you said the 'used up vag' talk that's just pulled out of their asses and not how anatomy works. You have what you have at the end of puberty. That's it.

Now I've an innie myself, in retrospect I'm like… so where was all that pussy eating or pussy worship I should 'in theory' have been getting for winning the vag lottery? Oh that's right scrotes don't care and don't treat you any better or get you off for having this thing they pretend to value so much. You can have the vagina they claim to want above others and they still can't be arsed to eat it so what's the difference? It doesn't add up.

I mean I know what it's like to look at two sets of gentitals and like one more.. I've seen some penises that definitely don't make me want to suck them and I've seen ones that do… but it doesn't even seem to correlate like that when men bitch about vag appearance.

anyone else feel like they have no clitoris? i barely ever masturbated only two or three times in my whole life and i felt extreme disgust emotionally paired with nothingness physically before during and after. it feels like if touching your mouth lip on the inside but more shameful and weird because of the creases, that and i am afraid of accidentally hurting myself or giving myself an infection of sorts because i dont know what i am doing. this means i have never had an orgasm before. i try to find my clitoris when i am in the shower but not only can i not identify it but i also feel nothing when i start feeling around there like a crazy person with my fingers. this has me wondering if i went through some kind of FGM as a baby but idk. i also never feel sexual in general even when i am ovulating, maybe i will think of getting married with a blank person and perhaps raising a baby but nothing sexual. all of this led me to thinking i was a special type of intersex that gets a period with the addition of me not developing most the secondary sex characteristics kek

Some clits are just more hidden away and that makes it tricky in the beginning. When I was 19 and still very new to masturbation I noticed using my hands didn't do anything. I thought I was genitally numb or defective. I was already a late bloomer and now this. Then one day I pressed a 'vibrating facial massager' right down on that area and there it was. It opened the floodgates so to speak and from then on I suddenly had a sex drive because I knew what an orgasm felt like. That was a game changer for me. Might be worth a try.

Nonnie I had the exact same thing when I was younger mixed with shame/anxiety/embarrassment around sex because I mentally developed quite "late" and didn't even start trying to explore masturbation until I was 17. I also could not "feel" or see my clit either and tbh I honestly still can't see it kek, so its completely normal for it to be very small and tucked away just as it's normal for some of them to be big. I freaked out about this too but trust me you still have one, you just need to be patient and not set any unrealistic expectations upon yourself. You don't have to kickstart yourself into some sexual revolution, you might just find it useful to read some erotica made by women.
Unfortunately it's very common for women to feel like they are broken/defected if they're not a sex goddess by a certain age, the only thing you can do is progress at your own pace. A big thing that helped me was just sitting somewhere comfortable with a funny show on in the background, with a mirror between my legs and just switching between watching tv and just getting used to the appearance and texture/feel of the vulva. It sounds crazy to some but if you just take your time, chill with a drink (and clean hands) and just watch something on Netflix etc you can eventually make steps towards not seeing your vulva as something defective or disgusting/scary. I should add I have vaginismus due to trauma and how I am basically scared of there being a "hole" in my body and this method of just chilling and getting to know my body in a non-sexual context helped a LOT before advancing to experimenting sexually. Maybe this could be useful for you, if not just know you are not alone.

lubricant because if you feel around down there when you’re not wet enough it can feel dry and painful. lube for me makes a barrier of sorts and makes everything feel

It's like missing. I mean I know realistically it's probably not but I don't see that part or anything that could be hiding it when I move stuff around. All this just to say you're not alone. I'm kind of sad about it because I think they are cute but oh well. It's not like I have to look at it or anything.

No. 258660

same. i thought that i didn't have one, but it's just really small and completely covered by the hood.
it kinda sucks because that means i don't have much sensitivity there. sex, fingers, and/or oral alone doesn't stimulate my clit naturally. i have to use a vibrator to get to my clit through the hood. i have no problem orgasming if i at least have a vibrator there. my ex boyfriend was okay with me using a vibrator on my clit during penetrative sex, so i really hope that my next partners do not mind that either. i know some guys don't like vibrators for some reason, but it's the only way i can get to the sensitivity there.
pulling the hood back doesn't make much of a difference and it is so long, it feels weird doing it and i don't want to have to keep a hand there keeping it back.

Is there a normalize big clits thing? I started out with a very hidden one and I now have a large one after spending a year or so on the tranny train. It's been an improvement pleasure wise. I'd be lying if I didn't admit it kind of made that year worth it. I found stim difficult before that. Was pretty reliant on strong vibes and while people argue about this.. I did find overuse of vibes desensitized me. I could always take a break and it'd sort itself out in time but it wasn't a great situation to be using wands and taking breaks and using wands again and just.. orgasming felt like a real task at times. My problem was visual, it was function.

Ime now I'm too sensitive for vibes. Everything has to be manual. Men are pretty unphased by it overall. I don't know if they can tell my anatomy is in a way unnatural. If you don't acknowledge it first they never seem to mention it themselves. I would be nervous with a woman I think. I haven't been with a woman since before all that. I think all men care about with clits is that you react to it being touched. I've livef with both extremes and nobody has ever made an umprompted comment about size.

I see a lot of other anons talking about orgasming during PIV and saying how women rarely getting off during is a myth. But that's been exactly my experience. I have only had two really good sex partners in my life and only one of them was able to make me feel what I think was an orgasm once. I genuinely didn't understand what was happening to me because it felt so different from a clitoral one, but it felt like I had to pee. Is it possible I have a very small gspot or don't have one? I just feel really broken hearing about everyone coming from sex and not me. Am I really the only one?

I can never orgasm from PIV either, I actually find I have a harder time orgasming with something in me at all? It's like penetration actually numbs my clit somewhat.
Like PIV does feel good in and of itself, just not always and never good enough that I could actually orgasm from it. I do masturbate a lot so I wonder if that's why, like maybe you have to be sexually frustrated to the point that any kind of stimulation finally drives you over the edge.

How do I stop discharging so much? I discharge a little bit every day. The quantity isn’t the issue, but the frequency does annoy me. I dislike every single panty I wear end up noticeably stained with white discharge by the end of the day.

Nothing really unless you have some other issues that might be caused by some imbalance or an infection. You can always drink more water to possibly make the discharge more fluid, but that's about it, anon. Also, if anyone would get grossed out by a completely natural function a normal vagina does from time to time, it's a sign to not let them near your vagina.

another discharge-chan here, i get it all day every day since as young as i can remember. it is perfectly normal as long as you don't have something like bv or thrush, some women just produce more naturally. i don't think there is any way to "stop" it as it's just your vagina's natural cleaning process and production, however i can recommend soft cotton panty liners or those reusable pads you can get in bamboo material. they're very comfortable and if you get thin/small ones you probably won't notice they're there.
echoing nonnie above: please don't think it's disgusting, if your partner thinks it's gross or weird then it's clear they have no business having sex with women - if anything it should be a good thing for him as it indicates your vagina is working as intended and keeping itself clean naturally. it's completely normal to even have quite a lot of it and if men find it gross then they're immature

Does anyone else feel pain when trying to wash their vulva? My clitoral hood and clit are kind of fused together, so there’s a lot of ‘folds’ around my clit and only a bidet that is at medium pressure is good at cleaning the smegma out. Low pressures do nothing. The pressure of the bidet, or just touching my clit when cleaning, is always painful because of my clit sensitivity. Please tell me I’m not the only one who suffers like this

I don't feel dry normally or anything like that, my skin is just really really sensitive to being pulled and stretched. This is going to sound really gross but I am sooo scared someone might suck some smegma out from under the clitoral hood one day ughh. I once saw a picture of someone pulling the hood all the way back to the point the whole clit was showing a few years back and ever since then it's been bothering me that I can't do that. I'm feeling like such a gross freak. Good to know I'm not the only one with this issue

I've had some shit going on the last few months, early periods, differences in how my periods start off or how long they linger at the end too. I used to only use tampons but bought pads to deal with the changes. In March I had two full bleeds in the space of a fortnight. I'm twenty years into having periods and some of this stuff is pretty new after being highly predictable before.. the only thing I can think is that it's a post vaccine thing. Other women are reporting it too. Nothing major but a disruption in the usual predictability. Do you think that could be it?

Is it weird if your period gets lighter over the years? My period used to last a week then went down to like 4 days, then 2 days of regular bleeding, and my most recent one was 1 day of light spotting and clotting, not nearly as heavy as they used to be.

I lost my virginity at like 26 and got my first pap some time after. All the nurses scolded me for not getting it at 18 like I was apparently supposed to. I felt ashamed and embarrassed during the scolding. So damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess. The gyn was the sweetest woman I ever met. She carefully explained every step prior, showing me all the tools, and always mentioned what she was going to do during the pap smear. She used a lot of lube on the thing so I didn't really feel it–I wasn't a virgin though. The cell scraping was a lil strange but it wasn't painful. It was like scraping the inside of your cheek to look at your cells in a microscope for 7th grade science class.

With the birth control I take, my withdrawal bleeding manifests as either a ghost period or a mini-period. I'll always have 1 day of mild cramps, and if I do bleed, it's a small amount of brown blood roughly 3 days after cramp day. I'll have painless spotting for a couple of days and that's about it. But the delay after the initial cramps and the color of the blood concern me. It's like there's not a large enough volume of blood for it to properly flow like an actual period so it just hangs out up there for a while. I have excessively powerful pelvic floor muscles which I think may have something to do with it. There's no indication of infection, it just worries me. Could this be harmful at all?

Think I’ve made a mistake nonnies. Got my Mirena IUD replaced about 24 hours ago and in that time I’ve become very paranoid and anxious, as well as depressed and angry. I have a lot of mental health issues and it scares me that my new IUD might make some of them flare up again. I’ve had it for 6 years already and now I’ve got a lot of shit going on unrelated to hormones but I’m wondering if it’s been a baseline stressor this whole time. Ideally I’d want to take it out and go IUD free for about 6 months to test this theory but with reproductive rights being so heavily threatened and a new relationship I’m in I’m afraid that might backfire extremely and I wouldn’t be able to get another one if I decided to go back on it. I wanted to get a copper IUD in the first place but since my periods are already so heavy and painful I decided against it. My periods could be debilitating some months and I get nine with Mirena, but my mental health can be just as debilitating.

Should I ride Mirena out, go with Copper, or just resign myself to condoms?

As for your actual question, I like to track mine because it gives me an idea of when I can expect it to start. A few days leading up I avoid wearing anything I'd be remiss to stain kek. As for improving your mood, I think it's just helpful to be aware. You might feel intensely emotional and then remember "oh my period is coming up, that's why I feel insane."

I just went to the bathroom and wiped and I had a lot of brown discharge and looked like I just started my period but I really shouldn’t have since I’m still on my active BC pills and my period should start in a week. This has happened to me twice already this year but this time it’s heavier, those 2 times also a week prior to my period and my actual periods were very light when they came and the bleeding would stop after my period ended. I had a pap smear in January that was normal but I’m starting to panic and think I need to see my gynecologist again. The only time I’ve had discharge similar to this was with a yeast infection and this is definitely NOT a yeast infection.

I only use tampons from the second day of my period when it’s heavier though because like >>266438 said, otherwise it can feel a bit dry/uncomfortable.

I have a low libido now but the very few times I get horny, regardless of what I do, I feel pain where I think my ovaries are if I'm not mistaken for the next few days and I have a hard time peeing. What does that mean? Does anyone have this sometimes? I just hope I don't have some major health issues. I don't drink alcohol and smoke, I don't take drugs, but I admit I often eat junk food out of convenience and drink soda. I sometimes also hold it in instead of going to pee as often as I should but it's been a while since I stopped doing it unless I'm sleeping at night.

To give more context, regarding my low libido, I'm a nearly 28 years old virgin due to religious bullshit reasons that are out of my control, and I used to be horny before, but not anymore. I barely masturbate too, I'm just too tired and it doesn't feel satisfying. I would like to know if that's normal or not. I guess there could be a lot of different possible reasons but I'm not sure about any of this and I'm too paranoid to see a gynecologist just for that but basically
>used to take human growth hormone injection on a daily basis for like 6 or 7 years as a kid/teenager because of a lack of growth hormone, which could have delayed or prevented my puberty if untreated. I don't take that treatment anymore because I don't need it anymore since I'm 14 years old and a few years ago I still had other symptoms cause by my disorder long ago (memory loss, constantly tired, etc.) but endocrinologists said everything was fine according to blood tests. Maybe it could be related to that, indirectly, but I doubt it
>got covid in late April 2020 and thought I was going to die from it for three months, I've seen that some guys got ED from it, no idea if the equivalent for women could be possible because I felt that change soon before recovering.

At the beginning when I became underweight in just a week and could barely breathe and move I didn't feel any change at all in my sex drive though
>had to move back to my crazy religious parents' place after that just in case I would have needed urgent medical assistance, got my old room back but with no lock, and seeing them again and having absolutely no privacy whatsoever could have ruined it for me mentally.

Sounds like you might have UTI but that doesn't impact libido. Having covid and losing weight from being sick could have impacted your libido as could the change in living accommodations and depression. But it could also just be your age, late 20s isn't unusual to see a reduction in libido.

This isn't directly related to the vagina, but I think this would be a good place to ask. Please don't give an "obvious" answer, since I have already lived according to it, as I will illustrate. Anyway, does anybody here feel kind of strange about how many essentially unknown women have seen their entire vaginas (and buttholes) due to waxing? I tried shaving and even purchased an IPL device, but I hate shaving so, so much, that I just can't do it anymore. On the other hand, I went completely hairy for about 6 months too. It was fine and I dealt with it, but it just became too uncomfortable. It itched, most of all. So I want to get rid of the hair on my body, and don't want to shave. I love waxing for every part of it except the fact that a bunch of random women have seen my vagina. It makes me feel dirty and ashamed. Just wondering if anybody else has this sense of ickiness that exceeds the basic embarrassment of getting a Brazilian for the first time.

I'm trying to be more okay with what my vulva looks like, the best way I can describe is a pale weird looking rose. When I spread myself out and looked at it with a hand mirror, my lips don't really separate it just looks like a ball of folds. Not really what I expect a vagina to look like. I haven't had anyone really closely examine me I'm afraid they're going to think it looks off somehow

My period has been wack since taking the COVID booster in Feb. My period has been regular since I got it at 13 (I'm 20) and it was fine after the first Pfizer vaccines last year. But after the booster, my cycle length went from 28-35 days to 22, 24, then 26 days. Then in April, after 15 days another period started again which lasted almost two weeks (my periods usually last 4-5 days). After it ended, I had less than a week of brown discharge before another full 7-day period occurred. After 6 days of regular discharge, 5 days of brown discharge began which brings me to today, when I have started another period (I assume, since I had to put a pad on and it's red like blood color). I'm at a loss. I've seen other women have period issues after the vaccine but I thought in 1-2 months it'd be getting better, not worse. Should I be seriously concerned at this point or should I give it a few more months to mellow out? I'm just sick of having to deal with what is basically my third period in a row. Or is there any chance this is something else, not due to the booster? (not pregnancy, right?) Though that would be pretty awful coincidental timing considering my period came early, 2 weeks after I got the booster. Advice/similar stories are appreciated.

I've been regular since I hit puberty and my cycle got fucked up after the booster too. Nothing else in my life changed, so there's no doubt it was the booster. My period keeps coming around 4 days earlier than I expect and my PMS symptoms are way worse than before. I'm suicidal and confused every month. Oddly enough, my actual period is much easier to deal with now.

So glad I didn't get the jab. I wonder what the long-term side effects of the vaccine will be on women's reproductive health.

I think there are some horror stories still to come, praying for you nonnies that it didn't do permanent damage.

Yay, I have to dilate like a fucking tranny just to keep my god damn stupid pussy hole open. After 10 years of trying to open myself, I've realized the only way out is literally dilating about every other day. It takes so long too, like 45 minutes every other day. When I stop doing it, my retarded pussy closes up again.

I'm in my early thirties so I'm 20 years into menstruating. I had two full bleeds less than 2 weeks apart after getting my booster and that's an absolute first for me in all my years of periods. My period tracker was telling me I hadn't even ovulated yet and I was in full flow again. Apart from that I think some menstrual symtoms were a little stronger too but it's settling down again. I got mine around new years.

If you're sexually active take a cheap pregnancy test just to rule that out, some women bleed in the early stages and that's their first sign. Probably not that but it's worth ruling it out for peace of mind

Why would they use chlorine to bleach them in this day and age? The whole organic pads crap is a marketing gimmick.
Additionally cramps are caused by your uterus contracting to expel the lining, that’s controlled hormonally so chlorine or it’s by products would not somehow travel up your vag, through your cervix and into your uterus and make it contract.

I was just diagnosed with vaginismus recently and was told I will basically see no improvement unless I do pelvic pt and use dilators. I'm 21 and have never had penetrative sex and even my very patient boyfriend is starting to be annoyed that in the course of our 4 year relationship, we have never really had P in V sex. However I share a room with my sister in my parents house because I'm a poorfag so I really don't have a good space to consistently use the dilators.

I got HSV1 genitally too. I think the majority of genital herpes infections now are actually from HSV1 because people are less likely to get it orally as kids nowadays, and people have more oral sex. Thankfully I only had my initial outbreak and then nothing ever again (it's been over 6 years). That's the second most common scenario (the first being completely asymptomatic with no outbreaks, never even knowing you have it), so hopefully that will be true for you too. People with recurring outbreaks are the minority, especially if it's HSV1. I recommend BHT and L-Lysine, and Epsom salt baths to help with the pain.

In a semi-crisis, need help.

Two days ago, I began having lower abdominal pain. It wasn't bad being still but hurt to walk or move. I took Tylenol and napped. At night, I had a 101 fever. Took 2 Tylenol and slept. Woke up with no fever but still the pain. The pain got better around 5 pm that day. Today the pain is better but not totally gone. No fever since. Though, today my knees have felt sensitive.

Now: I have been having early/irregular periods since March due to the booster. (this is me >>267169) Until now. Monday was the 28th day of my cycle. With the irregular super early period data, my app calculated my cycle to be 26 days. With the extraneous data removed, it calculated 31.5 days. Today is day 33 and I have no period. I had sex only one day, one time during the past month. We used a condom the whole time (it was rolled down the right way, I pinched the tip) and he withdrew himself before ejaculating. It was also checked afterward for holes. Is there any scenario where I am pregnant despite correct condom usage & withdrawal? Microscopic tear and precum? Like how would the sperm get to me?

I took a pregnancy test yesterday evening and this morning (with first-morning pee). It was the first response brand test, which is apparently one of the most accurate? Both were negative. One of them was a test you can take up to 5-6 days before your expected period, while the other was one you take the day of your expected period. Since I took them on Day 32 and Day 33, whether or not my true "expected day" was 26 or 31.5, it was after that time.

So now. How worried should I still be? Honestly, I have been an anxious wreck. Even with the negative tests I can't help but worry. I haven't had a doctor since my pediatrician so there isn't anywhere I can go with a doc who knows me. I spoke to a physician virtually (through some app) and she said that the abdominal pain & fever showed a worst-case scenario of an infected pregnancy. She wanted me to do an ultrasound but I don't have supportive parents who can know that I've been sexually active. Hence why I got the tests. But she freaked me out. I don't know how much credibility I can give her statements.

Which leads me to wonder, if it's not pregnancy what could it be? I do have an unresolved UTI called "Group B streptococcal infection". I took two types of medicine last year, and neither worked to lower my counts of it. Due to insurance issues, I never followed up. Is it possible that is re-surfacing now and it's just a coincidence that my period is late? Or maybe, because my periods were practically back to back/early, now it's overcorrecting and being late? Or it's just being the regular type of period variation? Are these valid possibilities that could rule out pregnancy?

Thank you for reading this long post. I don't have a lot of support and my mental health has been so bad. And no need to lecture me, I know I am clearly not ready to have sex and I am not having sex anymore after all this.

It's extremely unlikely that you're pregnant since you used a condom and it wasn't compromised. How are you feeling today? If you're still feeling ill there's always urgent care (or emergency if it's really bad). You don't have to tell your parents it's related to sex. Just tell them you have really bad stomach pains or something.

i had a nightmare that i bought scented tampons and pads, and that i was agonizing over whether to throw them away or not. I grew up on the poor side and hate wasting money. It was gut-wrenching, i woke up in a puddle of sweat.

Then 10 hours later, i start bleeding (surprised me, not currently paying attention to my cycle). As i walk to the place i store supplies, i get goosebumps thinking of scented pads and tampons again. i nearly threw up thinking about it. i know all of you read this far expecting me to conclude with, "and all i had were SCENTED pads," but thankfully this was not true.

It's extremely unlikely you're pregnant. Your cycle is adjusting or it's late because you are sick. Just hang in there. You can try making parsley tea (boil a bunch of fresh parsley in water, drink the liquid) to induce your period. I love parsley so this wasn't gross to me at all; some women have to add honey. If you do this, drink several cups of the tea over the course of a day. If your parents ask, say a friend recommended it for getting over a fever.

An ovarian cyst could cause the pain and late period, but that usually doesn't cause fever.

You should become comfortable with penetrating yourself before letting someone else do it. If you've never put anything in there it will be unfamiliar and scary. I recommend starting with just one finger, then next time two, once you're comfortable with that, a small body-safe dildo. I used the Tantus silk medium, it's a little smaller than an average penis. Remember that the vagina opens up like a tent when you are aroused. If you are not aroused enough you'll be unable to do it.

No. 273717

Yeah I tried putting things in before for years, a dildo, a penis shaped bottle of lube and my fingers among other things and everything failed. With him it hurt considerably less than just doing it on my own though. And I feel like I was aroused, but there was just that point of depth where my body went 'RED ALERT!

Samefag, but fellow anons with vaginismus, did you find that gynos were absolutely useless and/or even hurtful with you because of your condition?

I had gynos shout at me to relax 'so we can get this over with' or had them tell me to 'sort it out because it doesn't get better with age' without gving me any particular advice on how to do it or thinking for a moment and telling me 'to see a psychologist or something' before sending me away (even though I told them I have already been to psychologists and felt like talking about it made no difference, since I don't have sexual trauma).

I found out recently that my mom got treated for endometriosis in her 20’s and never told me until now, as I approach 30. Untreated endo can lead to infertility and now I’m panicking thinking that my parents neglect could lead to me being unable to have the children I desperately desire. I have an fertility test appt in a few weeks but in the meantime I’m a complete and utter wreck. I guess I just need some advice. Have any of you dealt with endo? Has parental medical neglect affected anyone else this bad? How do I go on if it turns out that I’m infertile. I seriously can’t imagine a reason to live if I end up barren at the hands of my families betrayal. I might kill myself irdk

No. 273806

I dont see how this is neglect and betrayal tbh. You're not automatically going to inherit endo. If you have it to any moderate degree you usually get plenty of pain and symptoms that warm you something is wrong.

In the absence of any symptoms I don't see why your mom would bring up her experience from decades ago?

Nonny, do you have endo? Just because your mom does doesn't mean you will. Several women on my mom's side had it and every single one of them had at least one child in their 30s, even the one who was told that she couldn't because of the endo. Also I'm in my 30s, and there's no sign that I have endo even though my family history of it is extensive. Try to relax, and remember that 'infertile' people actually have babies kind of a lot.

Not sure what you mean, but I have had some parts that have looked "pale", and my gyno has never said anything about it. And if you mean like white discharge that clings in some crevices, apparently that is normal and has been discussed in this thread (or another one, can't remember).

Advise on dealing with pain after urination? It's been going on since September last year, finally got a new doc who did some tests but hasn't given me the results yet. I don't know if I have interstitial cystitis but I hope not.
Taking D-Mannose and drinking lots of water has helped with the pain a lot but it doesn't go away completely. Some days it's pretty bad still.
Could this be diabetes related? I think the pain gets worse if I eat a lot of sugar. I haven't been diagnosed with diabetes but I do live a sedentary lifestyle and eat sweets like once a day.

Hi anon, I’ve had this exact issue. I did a few things first - got some blood work after seeing my doctor, then went to a uro-gynecologist and had an exam. They determined it was issues with my pelvic floor muscles. When they’re too tight, that can put pressure on the nerves connected to your urethra. The tightness of the muscles also makes sex painful. I recommend getting tested for a UTI first, and asking for a strong antibiotic if it comes back that you have a UTI. If you test clean for the UTI, see if you can be referred to a uro-gynecologist and get an exam done. I’m doing pelvic floor physical therapy and pelvic floor yoga and that’s helped me a lot. Do you have issues with urgency too? I also recommend Bladder-Q, it’s a supplement. It helped a ton with the burning sensation I had during and after peeing. Keep up with the D-mannose as well.

Find a new doctor if you want to get them removed. Otherwise, no heavy lifting, don't push your poops, eat plenty of fiber and drink lots of water, and don't sit for too long. If when they start to swell you can gently push them inside, do so, so they heal faster and won't become external thrombosed hemorrhoids, which are very painful and at risk for popping, which is a medical emergency. Basically they don't really go away on their own without removal so you just want to do whatever you can to avoid them getting irritated and swollen again.

More backstory, about 3 years ago I had deep aphthous ulcers appear on my labia and vagina that appeared out of fucking nowhere. I was tested for every std and tested for herpes three times (all negative) so they ended up diagnosing them as lipschutz ulcers, which are basically ulcers that appear without sexual transmission and they don’t appear to have a cause but the theory is autoimmune disorder related. Anyway since the doctors were basically like we have never seen this before and don’t know what it is. So that whole ulcer deal and now the melanoma ass looking moles are kind of wigging me out and I told my bf about it but he had literally nothing to say except tell me to go to the doctor. I have a week until then and I guess I’m just looking for somewhere to vent. I can’t tell if I’m being hysterical.

I am 33

I went to my obg today since the 1st time since Jan '21. I was covid vaxxed in March & April in '21. I went 8 months without a period after that, my 1st one being in December '21 and the next in April '22. So over 15 months have only menstruation twice. Vax coincidence or not, who knows. She did tell me that a lot of women my age are experiencing hormonal problems after being vaccinated, and proceeded to ask me if I want children. I said yes and no, I have been with my partner for 8 years and we both agree if it happens, the child will be loved but if not then it is what it is. She said oh, so you're not trying to get pregnant, nothing to worry about! Prescribed me Provera to see if a period could be induced, and left with little more follow up. The whole visit plus pap smear and breast exam was maybe 8 minutes after disrobing.

Needless to say, I am angry that i felt brushed off, even with a female as my doctor. I don't want to Google shit and go down a rabbit hole about who vaccines are sterilizing women. I work at a pharmacy, I get it. But I want to know if any other women have gone through similar issues my age? Maybe it is just a freak hormonal imbalance.

I've been trying to use period cups for years now but I just can't seem to get the goddamned thing into my vagina in the first place. The model I got was specifically for beginners since I knew that getting it in was an issue for some people beforehand, yet every time I try to put it in it's a miserable experience. I've tried relaxing, I've tried lube, I've gone over the instructions a million times, nothing works. I assumed it's not working due to my hymen being intact, but then I read about younger girls using them which made me feel like a moron. After reading this thread, I'm starting to suspect I might have vagismus (or it might just be because I'm a virgin) - if that is the case, do any nonnies that are virgins/nonnies with vagismus have advice for using period cups? The chemicals in regular pads gross me out so I might just have to cave in and buy some cloth pads.

I just have such a doom feeling about this, and now it's time to sit around and wait to find out how far it'll go this time. They got me scheduled for a follow up real fucking quick, she's booked out for months yet I'm coming back in two days. Any nonas or nonafamily get a hysterectomy and not have cancer come back?

Yep, tons of studies have been starting to be done on the covid vaccines screwing with periods. In the beginning of the vaccine rollout for younger women, a lot were complaining that their periods were totally disrupted, some were nonstop spotting for months, some lost their periods altogether, many had the worst cramps of their life. "Medical professionals" scoffed at these women and told them it was pure coincidence. Lo and behold, it wasn't.
I avoided the vaccines SPECIFICALLY because the period issues so many of my friends experienced (PMDD haver here)! And whenever I said this to people, I was met with very skeptical, disapproving looks, and ofc men tried to tell me it was irrational and impossible. Fuck those people.

None of the vaccine trials differentiated between the sexes in their data (to my knowledge) and NO questions about hormones, periods, or pregnancy were asked. Insane. You're not sterile, I hope you get back into the swing of regularity again soon nonna. It sucks so hard that no one takes women's health into account.

I'm spotting way more than usual right now, after masturbating for the first time in forever. I only used one finger, but I guess I was too dry to do anything. Anyway, I'm seriously worried, between that, not having a lot of sensations down there compared to before, and only being horny very rarely I wonder if something's wrong with me. I wasn't like that at all before, I never watch porn, I never did anything with anyone, gynecologists told me I'm fine but since I'm a virgin I never had thorough exams. I've been like this soon after recovering from covid at the very beginning of the pandemic and that's the only major health issue I had that I can think of these past few years because it lasted like three months, and I know it can cause ED in men, but I haven't seen any similar symptoms for women. I'm going to die before having sex, let alone having sex that feels good.

The day before yesterday I started experiencing a bit of dull pain and pressure on the left side of my pelvis. Yesterday I had pretty severe dull and sharp (not keeling over and vomiting but distractingly bad) pain that spread to my thighs and a bit of my back + pressure in my pelvis. Today it feels much better but I have some uterine cramps and pressure and I think my discharge smells weird but that could be hypochondria speaking. The gyno can't see me for two weeks- am I going to become infertile and/or die??

You gonna die at which point you will be infertile. Sorry nona. Live life to the fullest.
But for the next couple weeks you'll be probably be fine if your pain is manageable with pain meds. If it's unbearable and painkillers do not help at all you should go to the emergency room.

Thanks for calming me down a bit nonnie. Any idea as to what it might be? I thought ovarian cyst until I learned that they don't cause cramps, though maybe it ruptured and the contents are pressing on my uterus? Gross but not a major cause for concern I guess

No. 278478

>>278473
Where are you at in your cycle? Are you sexually active? Are you on any medications or birth control? Aside from something like a cyst, it could be a STI, or hormonal imbalance. It could be you hit a stroke of bad luck with premenstrual symptoms if you're nearing your period, and sometimes ovulation can randomly cause pain too. And other times still, pain and pressure in one area of your body is caused by another part of your body putting pressure on it. Basically there are a lot of variables and your gyno should be able to help figure it out when you can see her. But none of these are likely to be dire emergencies that would effect your life and fertility as long as the pain is tolerable with or without medication. You may have read or heard that STIs can cause infertility if left untreated, and it's true but that's in the case of leaving it untreated for a very long time, like several years. You're only symptomatic of whatever is causing your pain over the last few days. You are gonna be ok, and if it's ever not manageable, again, emergency room! Otherwise, just take it easy as much as possible, try to get a little light exercise in if you feel up to it, and stay hydrated and fed, as you should any time you feel under the weather, because not caring for yourself could make your symptoms feel worse.

You sure it's pain and not just your ears? They're an erogenous zone! I get tingly feelings when cleaning my ears or if I wear ear plugs.

I'm going to be using tampons for the first time soon because I've started working out and don't want to skip a week because of my period. I've only ever used pads so I don't know how to insert tampons. The ones I'm getting come without an applicator, will I be able to feel it while exercising? Or is there anything else I need to know.

No. 279129

No. You shouldn't be able to feel it during any activity. If you can feel it, you've not inserted it correctly, most likely not deep enough.

Inserting it is pretty easy, just sit and relax and push it in until it sits comfortable. Make sure to peel the string loose beforehand. Here's more detailed instructions if you feel you need that: https://flo.health/menstrual-cycle/lifestyle/hygiene-and-beauty/how-to-insert-a-tampon

Any moms here who had vaginal tears? I only had a first almost second degree tear during birth and I overhealed essentially my body giving itself the husband stitch and it fucking hurts to have sex. I got it clipped weeks ago and it's grown back so I need to get it clipped again soon. My obgyn also offered estrogen gel to help loosen it but my body doesn't react well to artificial estrogen. Is it going to be like this forever? Should I dilate if I'm not having sex frequently troon style?

My additional advice is to just be patient with yourself. Tampons are really easy once you’ve done it a few times, but getting the angle and placement right can be tricky when you’re first starting. It took me like 45 minutes to get one in the first time, but got much easier after that. Be patient and relaxed and if you find yourself getting worked up don’t hesitate to take a break from trying for a bit.

Is it possible for your period to be late even if you went through ovulation on time?

My period is 10 days late. Not a problem usually because I don't really care and I'm definitely not pregnant. It's been late before. But I'm going on holiday in 2 weeks I need it to come in the next week or my holiday is fucked.

I went through ovulation 10-12 days ago (discharge, normal bloating, etc). So shouldn't my period be on time then? How do I speed this bullshit up?

When you got 'clipped', did they just snip the tight skin, or actually remove some tissue as well?
I had an episiotemy during birth, which tore even further when my asshole OB/GYN yanked my baby out. I wasn't given the 'husband stitch' per se, just got stitched up pretty poorly, resulting in a much too narrow entrance to my vagina. When I finally got it fixed years later the gyno took out a crescent-shaped piece of tissue, and gave my like 6 stitches. I was a little shocked because I only expected him to give me a little snip. But once it healed the skin did become flexible again, and I can have sex without pain now.
I guess what I'm saying is maybe discuss with your dotor whether removing a little more tissue could prevent you from healing too tightly again? Dont settle for a painful sexlife! Waiting so long to get things fixed is one of my biggest regrets

Had sex one time and literally felt like I was entering another realm. I've never felt anything like it before.

No. 279781

I don't quite understand what you are saying? If you ovulated 10-12 days ago then you'll normally get your period 15 days after your ovulation day. Therefore your period isn't late? I'd usually be more 'alarmed' if your menstrual cycle exceeds 35 days, but amenorrhea can be caused by multiple factors.

Unless you have a menstrual cycle that is shorter than average. Or are you saying that your overall cycle is 10 days behind what it usually is?

It could be ovulation pain if it happens approximately 2 weeks after your period and you are having other ovulation symptoms (increased watery mucus and increased sex drive), but if your stomach is feeling tender to the touch and it hurts if you poke it with a finger then you should probably get that checked out because it could be cysts.

10 years ago I went to the doctor becuase I was bleeding during penetration. I wouldn't bleed afterwards, only during and it wasn't heavy but it was consistant that it kept on happening. I was sent for a scan where they put something inside me and nothing showed up as abnormal. A couple years later I repeated that scan and again nothing. There was no answer and I felt shrugged off.

Then I went for a Pap smear later and they found cervical cell changes. My results said something like 'squamous cell' so I figured that might be the cause? They monitored the changes closely because I also had hpv. I eventualy tested negative for hpv and they discharged me from having those frequent exams. The bleeding has never stopped.

So currently I'm 10 years into bleeding during penentration and I'm still semi in the dark as to why. Could it just be the cell changes? I feel like my cervix is bleeding rather than it being from my womb. Has anyone else here dealt with this?

When you lose enough fat tissue your body struggles to maintain homeostasis across all systems because fat is not just an energy reserve but the site of hormone production. BMI/weight isn’t an across the board measurement for people since our metabolisms are variable from person to person. It could be that at your lowest weight you still retain a functional reserve of adipose tissue, that your body is “better” at stretching its endorcrine functions thin, that other systems are slowed/halted instead of your menstrual cycle, or that you gave an outside source of estrogen like hormonal BC.

I like Stanzi but the comments section is full of third worlders, beckys, and unironic diaper lovers. Pads are uncomfortable, messy and stinky imo.

I love how a lot of them believe in a tampon bullying boogeyman even though a fuckton of the pickme arguments for pad-only use are about how some uwu skydaddy thinks you lose your virginity for putting one in, which makes you a whore and not a respectable human being.

I didn't try tampons because I was "bullied" into it, I wear tampons because they were an honest QoL improvement for me. I'm also still weirded out by the sentiment that tampons have anything to do with virginity loss; men would have to have an actual marker-thin micropenis to be scared.

Tampons are just uncomfortable to some and if you have terrible cramps it makes it worse since you can bleed through it in just an hour and the feeling of something in there is aggravating. No lie I used to go through one class in school, go pull my tampon out I had just put in and the blood would run out of the woven string onto my fingers and then I had to deal with putting a new one in. With pads it’s easier to change, keep track of volume while being hands-off, it shouldn’t be stinky or uncomfortable either.
>>282281
When I used tampons I had to kinda tilt them a certain way like sharply to the right and then it would actually go deeper and I wouldn’t be able to feel it.. Try your foot lower too because that could be causing you to not relax and then you’re bound to get even more sore which is game over.

No. 282639

You'll know when your tampon is in properly because you won't be able to feel it at all. If you can sort of feel it sitting at the end of your vagina, then it might fall out while you're exercising kek. If you have ones without applicators, make sure you move the string back and forth to create a little dent for your finger. If you keep trying and can't get it, just take it out and relax for a while before trying again. If the foot on the sink works for you that's great but it might be making it more difficult for you to relax or it might be moving your vagina to a weird position that makes it harder to insert. If you can put a finger into your vagina you can insert a tampon, just remember it's no big deal and there's no reason why you can't do it if you relax. good luck nonna.

Push towards your spine rather than straight up, if the tampon has no applicator push it in up to your last knuckle (the one closest to your wrist), if it has an applicator, make sure you insert the applicator fully while still being able to hold onto it before pushing the "plunger" down. My first time I didn't realize the applicator goes inside the vagina, I was holding it outside the entrance. The anon above who suggested holding your foot a little lower was correct. Personally I just open my legs while standing and bend my knees a bit to insert the 'pon

I accidentally dilated my vagina and I don't really know what to feel? I'm a virgin and I usually masturbate through clitoral stimulation. Anything more than one finger is painful to me, and even I find the sensation of a finger awkward and uncomfortable.

But I've been playing around with penetration using a small phallic object at home since I realized external pressure feels really good with clit stimulation, and with a few push, shloop, it got in and I was taken aback.

Does this mean I'm able to insert with ease now? Or is this something that needs to be "maintained"?

I know I might sound like a troon, but I just live in a country where penetration is highly stigmatized, including tampons so I don't really know what to expect from my vagina

There was so much that I thought it was glue or something, but nay, it was pussy gunk. I kept looking and there was gunk aaaaaaaaaall the way into the thing, coating the vibrating part and all.

I’ve noticed a lot of period product companies have been switching over to saying things like “bleeding babes” and trying to make not calling women “women” into a quirky marketing gimmick. I’m willing to switch my preferred method of dealing with my period, I just don’t want to give my money to companies who are trying to erase a word that grants me legal protection from men.

I use Always pads and the packaging doesn't really say anything but their website says girl, woman, and feminine product straight away. At least their UK site does… Had a quick look at their US site and they seem to dance around the words altogether.

Are we at the point where a womens BC service can just oop.. turn it into a trooning out clinic instead? That easy?

I had a job years ago where I had to write period product reviews every now and then or arrange giveaways. I hate to say it but the more a company cares about your tampon being organic cotton and all that jazz.. the more troon friendly they tend to be too. That always stood out to me. 15 years ago these were the first companies to start sending requests that inclusive language be used. Nobody else was doing that back then but organic tampon people.

They also have condoms, skincare, pregnancy test, bc for women, and pads and tampons. TIMs like pads and tampons because they’re gender affirming. TIFS need bc and appointments. Keep in mind TIMs offline try to go to the gyno because it’s “affirming” so it might have something to do with that too.

If you lose your virginity does that mean your period comes out faster?

No. 287057

>>286417
You probably are already very sore and the muscles near your abdomen, lower back, and thighs are tight and inflamed. When you exercise you exasperate that and can trigger more muscle spasms. When working out for cramps focus on deep stretches with no inversions. Heat than ice. Heat by itself increases inflammation.

No. 287156

>>287034
No, if you lose your virginity your period won't come out faster.

Your period has to come from your uterus, out your cervix into your vagina, and then, well, out of you. Losing your period won't change this.

The only exception is if you had a hymen covering your entire vagina (an irregular hymen), but if that were the case, you'd need to go to the doctor or hospital and get your hymen surgically removed because that is a medical condition.

I'm so fucking terrified I might be pregnant… it's cycle day 19 and after getting back home from work I realized I bled to the point it slightly overflowed the liner. I've experienced light spotting between periods but not to the point it would overflow. I've also been experiencing mild back pain past couple days. Oh god I really hope I'm not pregnant cuz I drink and smoke way too much for that baby to not come out retarded

I’m on day 8 of my period and I felt so terrible I had to call out of work. My record for longest period is 9 days and I think this one is probably going to be longer than that.

I'd never had 2 bleeds in one month before (not in 20 years of having periods) but then a few months ago I randomly did. Started bleeding no more than halfway through my cycle and it ended up being as heavy as a period. I put it down to the booster vax seeing as I'd nothing else to really link it to.

I've been very itchy around and on my vulva lately, sometimes it will keep me up late. I don't have any strange discharge so I don't think it's an infection and it doesn't smell bad either. I do have some weird sores but it could be from the itching. I've been changing my underwear more often and trying different sizes. The only time I get a real break is right after a wash, but it doesn't last long… This is so irritating.

8 days would be a short period for me lol, I'm convinced I have some of the worst periods possible. I've twice had my period for over 3 weeks straight, but that was once as a teen and once just after going on birth control. 2 weeks isn't unusual.
So I have a random mix of PMS symptoms: intense back pain, headache, sore breasts, leg ache, nausea, tiredness and insomnia for 4-5 days until my period starts. Period lasts (at least) a week and a half, with heavy bleeding most of the time. Then I'm free but exhausted for another week before I get intense back pain and nausea from ovulation for 3-5 days. A week later or so the cycle starts back at the PMS pain. There's sometimes spotting at any random point. At least 2 weeks on any month I spend being in pain.

Fuck I’m so sorry that sounds dreadful. When I went off birth control for a year my periods became really regular and they were the lightest they’d ever been, minimal pain, nice and short. Then I decided to get the copper iud (hormonal birth control gave me microglandular hyperplasia) and since then it’s been horrific. So much cramping before and during my period, my cycles have been over 30-40 days long, and totally irregular. I don’t know what to do because this birth control is my last option as I don’t want to rely solely on condoms.

does anyone tend to bleed a little, not on their period, when they’re stressed? yesterday i had an exam and afterwards when i went to the bathroom and wiped.. there were a few flecks of blood. not enough to drip onto my panties but there was definitely blood coming out of my vagina. this has happened before, and it’s annoying. i wonder if i should get this checked out.

stress can throw off your period but this doesn’t sound like that, since it happens so quickly afterward, and isn’t a full period. definitely talk to your doctor, nona.

I always felt like I got wet from somewhere other than my vagina but only ever heard of wetness being vaninal fluid and the other day I masturbated while on my period with a tampon in and I was wet, it definitely wasn't coming from my vagina because it was clear with no blood so I looked it up and we have these glands called Bartholin Glands which are on either side of your vagina entrance on the outside and fluid comes from them when aroused. I still find it weird how I get wet up near my clit though without intentionally dragging fluid up to it. This might be comman knowledge but I had no idea about these glands and thought I'd share.

Spotting is bleeding that occurs outside your regular period and because it's caused by hormonal imbalance/changes, it usually happens during early pregnancy, ovulation, or a birth control side effect.

I personally experience spotting during ovulation, and it's not much blood and happens for around 2 days only.

But I'm not sure about "stress" being a factor. All I know is that stress does cause hormonal disruption. If you think it's of medical concern, check a gyno.

i know this isn't normal, im in my early 20s and haven't had an orgasm in like over 7 years. i have zero feeling down there and i dont tend to get horny. im not asexual though as countless people have suggested to me because i definitely do have a sexual attraction, it's just like the parts aren't working. does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? i went to the doctor about it a few years back and he (of course) told me it was probably just stress (it wasn't). I've been thinking of seeing a specialist but it's fucking expensive. in the sexual relationships i've had with other women i've always just faked it or been on top the whole time. it's taking a toll on me and it makes me afraid to get into an actual romantic relationship. any advice?

I can go between having a very high sex drive and a non existent one with touch repulsion. You might naturally have a low libido, there’s nothing wrong with that. Throwing it out there and getting it out of the way. You can get your hormones checked to make sure it’s not a hormonal imbalance and caused by a health issue which would be one of the main concerns. As for increasing it things I’ve found improve mine:
>> working out at least 4x a week lifting weights. The higher my physical health the higher my sex drive.
>> setting up my space with natural aphrodisiacs. Sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli.
>> making sure I’m eating enough, hormones get fucked. Sex drive gets fucked.
>> making sure I have strong brain body connection. Ignoring my body means I check out and ignore all of it.
>> using herbs to boost it
As for orgasming
>> it can be hard to do so in positions you haven’t before so keep that in mind
>> not being able to relax is also a huge part
>> women are more prone to “blue balls” then men and can cramp and get discomfort easier. There’s no reason to rush. If you need a break take one.
>> learn what feels good for you. Everyone is different. There’s a lot of people who honestly are sexually compatible. You may like them a lot and they won’t be able to make you feel good. That’s not your fault.

I'm thinking about getting a copper IUD. I've been on the pill since I was about 16 to help manage my period, but I'm not sure that I like how I feel when I'm on it. The main thing that's stopping me from making the switch is that I'm really freaked out by gynecology and the actual insertion of the IUD itself. I enjoy sex and have no problems with penetration, but medical procedures involving my vagina really freak me out, to the point where I can feel nauseous or even faint just thinking about them. I think I had some traumatic childhood events involving the puberty talk/pregnancy at school that made me like this lol Can anyone offer some support or advice about going through with it?

Speaking of bartholin glands, I had a cyst on one of them back when I was a teen and when it went away, the gland turned into loose saggy skin and actually hangs out of my vag. I'm extremely insecure about how lopsided and ugly it all is. Is it over for me? Nothing I can do except surgery? Looked up surgery pics before and the surgery stitches looked awful too

Is it normal for your cervix to just open and close throughout the day? My period's due this week and I read that your cervix is supposed to be firm and closed, but mine has been alternating between soft and kinda open (almost like during ovulation) to closed up like it should be. I have my usual PMS symptoms and normal levels of discharge (really thick and white, not a lot of it) so idk if I'm just being paranoid over nothing or if I should get it checked out.

I'm pretty sure I have endometriosis or a cyst. I hope it's ok to vent here about this cause im really in a bad mental bc of it. since I was around 9yo I always had bad IBS, to the point I'd have diarrhoea every single morning. it was definitely triggered by stress as my dad was an alcoholic. at 11 I started my period and they were so painful my dr put me on mefenamic acid which helped. after this they calmed down a lot. sadly i was SA'd at 15 and had to get an abortion, this was really traumatic as it is but they put me on a birth control after it with antibiotics and from then on i suffered for 6 years with reoccuring UTIs, the only brightside was my IBS was better. at the beginning of 2020 i was in an abusive relationship and i caught a UTI while in another country, it was so bad i was peeing blood and ngl i thought i will die it was so painful. after 3 weeks it healed but i went back to feeling like i have a UTI 24/7 until around the summer of 2020 i felt much better. but because of the relationship putting me thru sm stress i was hsving panic attacks and pooping problems again (sometimes diarrhoea when he stressed me out/made me anxious and sometimes just constipated for a few days, and also got gastritis..). i started getting this lumpy sore pain in my lower right along with constipation, so for ages i kept complaining about this pain to drs but they insisted it's constipation. the pain would however stay even after pooping. i noticed it was def worse on my period. so yea, 2 years of this pain until august 2022 it felt like my lower right just suddenly exploded in what felt like fire/acid. i had to rush to the ER, they gave me morphine and did scans etc. said nothing was wrong with me and sent me home once i was pain free.. ever since then i've had constant period cramps that never go away. my right side still hurts and it's so scary honestly. it feels like every dr is telling me im exaggerating normal period cramps but why would only my right side hurt this much for 2 yrs? waiting on MRI results now but one retarded dr at the ER straight up told me "they probably wont see anything on the MRI either" and tried accusing me of attention seeking? from then on im just refusing to speak to male doctors about this

i have vaginismus from CSA that occurred from ages 3-13, and trauma i've survived in adulthood. it only really started making an appearance when i was with my most recent ex – whom i left in mid-july by fleeing our shared home while he was at a dentist's appointment – and i only realized what was going on when i asked one of my best friends what her bleeding during/after sex with her ex-husband was called. i read through our initial messages about it from july 2022 yesterday and i'd told her my ex was covered in blood one time and that i'd thought i'd gotten a surprise period (i have the kyleena iud) but the bleeding was gone the next day, him putting even a finger inside me hurt, etc. she informed me that it's caused by trauma and is only really healed through therapy.

i'd intended to talk to my gyno about it when i'd gone to an appointment to get my replacement iud 3 months later. the gyno was a new one for me (i'd moved cities) with no bedside manner, and my ex was in the room with me, so i completely forgot to bring it up, and wouldn't have felt comfortable doing so anyway. i'd bring up the vaginismus to the ex and he wasn't concerned. he would get annoyed that i'd stain the sheets with blood every time we had PIV.

through my own research, i've discovered that if you're bleeding more than a teaspoon's amount after/during sex, follow up with a doctor. but i only learned that yesterday, because i was googling it because my vaginismus came back the night before last and my partner could not get more than half a finger inside me. i was embarrassed and spiraling a bit, but feel better now. my partner did everything in her power to comfort me. she did everything right. initially asked if i wanted to try lube, cuddled me when i said i was just going to give up and was too in my head, etc. my ex didn't "believe" in lube. i hope he dies.

i have a therapist lined up that i'm saving up to begin seeing, and i think that will help. i just needed to partially vent and also see if other women can empathize.
