stinky from stress/bodily anxiety Anonymous 22246[Reply]

nonas, what do you do about sweating/producing odor from sweating? I shower frequently and keep good hygiene but it seems persistent. Other than deodorant and perfume, I can’t think of anything else. I don’t shave or do hair removal because I’m on a tight budget but apparently it helps remove smell. Are there any foods or drinks that remove body odor?

Inb4 “stop stressing”, that’s for /feels/ and is something I’m working on.

My friend got prescription deodorant and then eventually got her sweat glands removed completely… So maybe to a doctor. Also how often do you wash your bath towel? Odor can get onto you from that too.

I use a clean towel. i have two and wash them each week/twice a wk. So at most I use one towel like 2-3 times. I also do exfoliation with one of those body scrubber cloths and put it thru the washing machine weekly.

green tea and spearmint tea helped me with anxiety/stress body odor. i had the same problem.

men's deodorant also helps if you're able to budget it. it's not my favorite but it helps so much and typically that gross man-smell dissipates quickly.

Anonymous 22278

Eating greens, veggies(avoid onion tho), fruits, drinking lots of water all generally help with that.

I know you asked about foods specifically, but for me being in solitude in a well lit room helps a lot with keeping stress away too. I can't stand being in the same room with someone else for too long tbh it drives me insane and stresses me out. It's situational, but maybe it could be relevant to someone.

I tried the men’s deodorant trick, laying my regular + my perfume over it and deodorizing around the other sweat gland area. This was a lifesaver. Also been drinking the teas on a regular and eating more veggies Thank you nona :)

"man repellent outfits" Anonymous 21935[Reply]

I see this trend of women online dressing insanely hyperfeminine and bold, then calling it "man repellent" because I guess men are put off by women who are so bold? But actually I feel like this isvery negative messaging, because it reinforces the idea that what you wear has anything to do with if a woman is harassed on the street.
Also, since when is dressing in frilly dresses and makeup something men don't like? Wanna know what men REALLY hate?? Women who seem not to care at all about their appearance, because men are incredibly cruel to women they perceive as ugly. Though being ugly wont stop us from being harassed, unfortunately.

It’s utter larp. Men are repelled by a shaved head and unrevealing, cringe clothing. These normgroid, pseudo-feminists are just partaking in a strangely named a trend.

Men are going to leer no matter what you wear. Hijabs and burqas are the logical extreme of "man repellent" yet guys will still find a way. his just seems really pointless; wear what you like.

This. There is no outfit that will stop harassment from a man you encounter late at night at an unsafe place. I'm not even from a country that imposes any clothing on women and was just wearing full winter garb, coat, scarf, hat, you could barely see my face, I'd just gotten off a call and started reading a book at night when some guy came up to me with "do you have fire" and when I didn't, that fucker took out his own lighter to light up his cigarette and proceeded to harass me, talking about my eyes because it was one of the few things I hadn't covered, they really don't give a shit, anything that vaguely implies woman is subject to harassment as soon as there's any vulnerability to exploit, like being alone at night for 5 fucking minutes while you're just waiting for your bus. I was lucky there was an open shop nearby where I could go to get away from this creep and I ended up not even having to because another guy came by who told this creep off for me and I could get home without anyone following me, but damn, at this point you'd straight up have to pretend to be a perhaps tall and intimidating guy late at night to avoid this kind of "flirting". It was a one time thing and I usually feel quite safe so I don't feel that pressured to alter my appearance out of fear of harassment, but I get why people try. I don't think there's anything you can wear to really avoid harassment 100%, especially if you're petite or even just short like me (I don't know if it's true, but it's my assumption that short people get harassed more often) so you might as well wear whatever you want, right… I also don't want my clothing options to be restricted just because some asshole harassed me once. Like, I occasionally wear more revealing stuff but the only time I was harassed when I was wearing something that showed more skin was my regular bathing suit (not even my bikini) at the pool and that was like 1 time out of hundreds of times of being at the pool and once again, I was harassed because I was alone and the guy was twice my size and could get away with it. I think harassment has everything to do with vulnerability and less with how attractively you're dressed. I've mostly been harassed when I was a teenager, never did anything for my appearance either (too lazy for make-up and shaving) but I was a visibly anxious teen to the point that boys would outright kick me on the stPost too long.

Why do women go so far for moid approval and validation?

>moid approval
I mean… Technically yes but also no. All beauty is designed to appeal to the moid tastes, so at it's root, it's still for moid approval, but it's not what these women have on their mind when doing this, nowadays beauty is not only needed to attract men but to be at peace with yourself and feel like you have any value at all.

>haha its so fucking funny look at how small her chest is

Why is this a thing? Like, seriously? Somehow small boobs got left behind on the body acceptance train. Same with skinny/slim bodies and how people make "jokes" like "give her a sandwich" etc. It's horrible. And if you say anything about it, you're insecure. I see plenty of thin women sticking up for big girls who get body-shamed, but the only people who stick up for sbw are other sbw.

Fat people are pigs regardless of gender. If you inflate their self confidence they’ll start degrading anyone who doesn’t have their features because they’ve developed a false sense of how they’re perceived. Being slim is a sign of discipline and health whereas being chubby is a sign of a black-scrote, pawg loving stampede is approaching.

How is body hair in women seen in your country? Do women really have thicker hair depending on the region?

I'm in a larger German city and when I go to the pool, I notice that almost all women my age are pretty clean-shaven, like no armpit- nor leg hair. I used to feel pressured to shave too, but now that just inspires me more to stick to not shaving. The only reason I'd do it is to avoid negative comments, I couldn't care less about being attractive to any potential partners.
So far in all these years, I've never received a bad comment about not shaving though, even though my hair is pretty dark. But I'm not a teenager anymore, I assume adults keep such comments to themselves for the most part or just don't care as much.
I guess body hair is seen as something to be shaven for women here, while for men it can be seen as embarrassing. (My cousin shaves his legs and he actually hides how much care he puts into that from his immediate family (he has a laser device and everything)).
I don't want to bend to that kind of social pressure though. But I'd never look down on women who do shave; if you worry that not doing it will make you look bad when you are aiming to be attractive to someone in this culture, it makes sense I guess…

That's horrible advice. IMO you should grow LONGER bangs. The kind that reach your lips or beyond so no one ever really sees your eyes and you look demented as fuck.

I don't think there has been a thread for those who might have some form of disability here. This thread is for discussing any problem related to a disability, it can be a mental or physical problem as long as this thread can help you feel less alone in this struggle it is all that matters. I personally have issues related to my hearing, I am curious to see if other anons do too here.

More than makeup, you should focus on hairstyles that flatter your face.
Your hair is very pretty in the photo, but its framing is almost exaggerating the outline of your face.
Try something with more occlusion.
You've got the right idea with the curtain on the left, but the right is fully exposed.

I only shave my underarms and do it because it's easier to use deodorant + get clean after sweaty exercise when there's not hair in the way. I do it probably every other time I shower

Overall I find shaving legs to be a meditative thing to do once in a while, but I wear long pants so I have no reason to do it regularly

Overall I think shaving is a waste of time unless you have a specific functional reason for it. Beauty standards and whatever but who gaf. I'm a human being, not a barbie doll to ogle

For those who have gotten electrolysis how does it feel, specifically how much does it hurt? I want to get it since I hate body hair but I'm nervous, especially about the bikini area

Anonymous 22092

Depends a lot on the skill of the technician, I think, as well as the part of the body. That said, it barely hurts more than just plucking the hair out normally. Usually they use a topical anesthetic of some sort so it can also basically feel like nothing at times.

It's important to remember that it takes a while to get results. A lot of people seem to expect it to be some kind of instant miracle.
