I'm on the lookout for a new bag, I tend to carry a ton of stuff with me every day, but my day-to-day purse is so uncomfortable to wear over my shoulder, it has a thin strap that digs in, especially if I have a small water bottle in the purse. I know ideally I'd get a backpack for all my shit, but I find them mostly unfeminine and not practical to grab things out of quickly. My clothing usually doesn't have pockets so anything I carry is in there.

TL;DR
What should I get that holds a vast amount of items, is comfortable and doesn't dig into my shoulder, but isn't a huge bulky backpack? Picrel in black is what I have been using for the last 3 years.

i like the simple 100% cotton bags from the crafts store. they can be dyed into any color so they always match my favorite current style. i always have plenty of them, so when i just need one that is empty for some one-time purpose i always find an empty one without having to empty a bag out. when they get dirty i just wash them in the washing machine. in theory i have pens that wash out so i could temporarily paint something on one but i just realize i have never done it.

Today, July 8th, is the anniversary of my first period. I will never forget July eighth of 2013 when I had it. It was so painful, I was only 9 at the time too, so I thought Satan had been summoned into my stomach to make me bleed. (I was raised Catholic)

It was horrendous, I threw up, I passed out in bed, had a nightmare of going to Hell and woke up screaming "Jesus, save me!", threw up again and ruined my Game Boy Advance, it was just pure scream bloody gore.

And there's my two cents. Please share your sweet horror stories about your periods.

I got my period late so I knew what it was immediately. I didn't want to tell my mom so I just used toilet paper as pads.

Did any of your families have celebrations for your period? My husband's family had a party for his sister as a celebration of het "becoming a woman." I think I would've liked that.

Ideal Body Type thread? Anonymous 05/26/17 (Fri) 09:00:07 AM1672 [Reply]

What's your ideal body type, anons?

Are you into being thin, or curvy, or maybe fit? Were you born a cone shape but long to be a pear? Or maybe you're a banana but would rather be an hourglass?

I'd like to hear your opinions and what you're doing to get there!

Imo, thin and curvy is ideal (as in mostly narrow but with wider hips). Unfortunately I'm not curvy, I'm more rectangular, I have to stay thin or else I look bad.

I wish i was tall I seethe every time somebody brings up how short I am i hate it so much. I dont care what body type I just wish I was tall so I could look at people beneath me the way talls look at me now. They mess around with me too saying shit about how theyre letting middle schoolers in wherever I am and asking if i lost my parents. fucking talls should turn short for a day to know what its like. In high school they used to just pick me up just to mess with me. I hate all talls.

Someone's going to think this is stupid but whatever.

It was a totally decent cut & color, but when talking about restaurants she made a joke about spitting in people's food in a way that gave me such an icky vibe about who she was as a person.

>The sweating and just back hurting constantly.

i dunno if you know, you can regulate your body temperature with how much weight in general you pack on, how many layers of which material you wear AND by what you eat.

i eat mostly fruit in the summer (half a small watermelon is a nice breakfast you coffee drinking, bread-eating normies), helps to keep weight off, keeps me thin, keeps the sinuses clear (do you even know what that means?) detoxifies, keeps everything nice and moist while being surrounded by dry hot air. i see the normies with their conveniencefood weight and i just shake my head because who would choose this.

birth control, heating pads, CBD, midol, orgasms, ive heard some teas help, some people have reported acupuncture helping, lower back massages, and certain supplements.

as for the overflow of blood, I'd suggest a super tampon during the day along with a pad. for nighttime ive heard of girls straight up using diapers that women typically buy after giving birth.

what is the correlation between her mom forcing her to buzzcut her hair and her being a pick me?? like genuinely how did you manage to leap to that conclusion lmao. and even if her mom was a radical feminist, she isnt practicing it correctly because the whole point of feminism is for woman to have full control and decision making when it comes to their mind and bodies- that includes hair. how is it radical feminism for a mother to force her adult daughter to get a buzzcut??

unironically and I know it sounds like alternative medicine bullshit but spearmint tea. I have PCOS where I get lots of facial hair on my chin especially and jawline/neck acne but once I started buying loose leaf spearmint only tea and having a cup or two of that a day (I recommend adding more hot water to the first batch for your second cup in the morning and having another cup of tea at night). when I tried this consistently, within the first week I noticed the jaw acne stopped coming back and it let the old ones heal and the chin hairs basically stopped growing minus one or two, but at rates much slower than usual.

Not op but you can buy spearmint leaves from the grocery store and wash it and boil it in just plain water for 5 mins on medium heat and then strain it and you have the tea.

Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps
