Lube & Compatibility with Them
Hi, So my fiance and I have been using this lube (Anjou Personal Lubricant Water-Based) for a couple months now and I've always noticed a burning sensation in my vagina whenever we used it. Unfortunately, for the couple months that we've been using it, I didn't realise it was the lube causing it. I ...

Re: Sex EDC - Safer Sex Pouch!
I don't have a sex EDC, but I do have a few stuff that I carry everywhere with me... in tiny ziplock bags because they're the only things that fit into these silly tiny female pockets on female pants! D: I carry a vicks inhaler, eye drop, lip balm, comb, pantyliner, pocket mirror and an extra hairti...

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
Oh, they have different sizes! That's great news! Hehe, I got a bit excited there. Having children is something I definitely want, and for a long long time, I was adamant on vaginal births because I felt like c-section was more hassle. I knew the vagina walls can tear, but never knew the cervix can ...

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
Amazing! o.o Now I really want my own speculum just to check out how I look like! I never knew how interesting I would find all this LOL The pap smears really do look scary though. I've never had an exam done before and I'm quite petite, so I have been concerned about exams being way too painful to ...

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
Ah! So regardless of the release of the egg, the synthetic progestin still tells the uterus to start lining?

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
Actually, I have just one more question. I thought of this just as I was about to sleep lol.
If pills change how our bodies react with the use of synthetic hormones, thus causing us to NOT have an actual cycle, then what IS the withdrawal bleed? Like, what is it made up of? Since it's not period...

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
WOW! That was an awesome read. My favourite part has to be the description of changes to the cervix, coupled with the pictures! My mum had told me about FAM before, but never went into detail (mostly because of said missing thermometer hah). That was cool, thank you. I might actually stop taking Qla...

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
Ah, that makes more sense. I thought it was a bit silly that there are so many "dire" warnings about missing ONE pill lol. I never had strong ovulation symptoms before I took the pill is why I'm a bit confused. Discharge wise, they were always very strange though I notice the changes halfw...

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
Hmm. So when a pill is missed, the synthetic hormones wear off and the body's estrogen signals to release an egg?
(Also, for future reference, when does the proliferative phase happen when off the pill? I do want babies sometime in the future, haha!)

Re: Qlaira and How It Works?
Interesting, how the hormones worked was never really explained to me. I was just told that there are hormones and they change lol. So when exactly does the proliferative phase happen? According to that article, it's usually when ovulation starts. Does that mean about 2 weeks after a period starts, ...

Oh, I couldn't find that article, thanks. Still a bit unsatisfied though. Like, if ovulation doesn't happen, what happens to the egg that was supposed to be released? Why would I still have ovulation symptoms as well? Why would the uterus lining not fall out earlier if there wasn't any egg to "...

Hi, I've been using Qlaira for about a couple years now and only recently started being more adventurous in bed. Just got me wondering, exactly HOW does Qlaira work? I tried googling, but the results I got weren't very detailed or satisfactory answers. Like one website says it "work mainly by t...

Hi Sam,
They don't disappear like pimples when left alone though. And some have gotten infected before.

Clogged Montgomery Tubercles
So this is something I've always been meaning to ask, but kinda kept forgetting. I'm reading that it's normal for montgomery glands to secrete while nursing. What about when you're not though? I'm 23, never been pregnant and for nearly half my life (pretty much most of my years having periods), my g...

Sex During Pregnancy
My friend recently got pregnant and she brought up a question that I've been curious about for years. What exactly happens to ejaculate and sperm when a woman is already pregnant? Is it advisable NOT to have penetrative sex while carrying a foetus? I've never been pregnant, but I've heard that pregn...

Re: Feeling Yuck About Natural Lubricants...
Interesting... Although, can vibration be used on penises without hurting?
Doesn't the pleasurable sensations build up though? Like, wouldn't you feel like you NEED an orgasm at the end of a play session, especially after all the sexy things that was done?

Re: Breasts considered sexual?
I once watched a 4 part documentary type show on looking inside a woman while having sex. It brings up what men find attractive about women and why. And it's given me some food for thought. According to the video, the stereotype of big breasts and big hips are what men look for in women is due to re...
