Re: large bump inside ceiling of vagina?
Hi Juventa, Okay, so if you're going past this part of your anatomy and then reaching a part of your vaginal canal on the other side with more space, and it has texture but no divet, it sounds more like your g-spot. The cervix isn't something you'll be able to push through. The reason you might not ...

Re: Spotting on Birth Control
Oh wow, I find it super surprising that you can't get tested in Germany for free! That's awful. I still think that it is a good idea to try and work towards getting STI tests - perhaps if you are visiting another city where it is free you could schedule it in, or see if there are any low-cost or sli...

Re: pills and period
Hi kiiimiblea, The bleeding you get when on the pill starts as a result of switching from the hormonal pills to the placebo ones, exactly when it happens varies from person to person - it might happen on the first day, it might take a couple of days to kick in. After a good few cycles you'll start t...

Re: Can condoms be damage by heat
Phantomdog is spot on here - getting a little warm briefly is no biggie, it's very high temperatures that are the problem. In fact, the box should have storage instructions on it, with a temperature range that you can check ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Bleeding after fingered
Do you ever find that your periods ease off a bit and then start up again? If so, it could be that. If you're having unexplained bleeding that isn't normal for you and doesn't stop after a day or two though it may be worth seeing a healthcare provider just to double check that everything is okay.

Re: Ovulation
Hi Yunlad,
Yes, you can use cervical berriers with condoms. They are something that needs to be fitted by a doctor or nurse to make sure you get one the right size, so start by making an apointment with your healthcare provider first. Does that sound good?

Hi Lee! Welcome to the boards :D Gloves and lube are relatively easy to find in the drugstore or grocery store and aren't age restricted products, so your best option is to try and get hold of the real thing. I wouldn't suggest the saran wrap option. Whilst it can be used as a DIY dental dam, its no...

Re: Shaving problem
Hi Pan,
Many people find that if they're careful they can shave their pubic hair comfortably. However, there can be discomfort from shaving rash or ingrown hairs as well as risk of small cuts on tricky areas. You say it hurts so ask yourself - do you really want to shave?

Re: A problem with a condom.
Hi Thesk, most of the semen usually stays in the tip of the condom, but as long as it is inside the barrier and not leaking out that's okay. Make sure you pinch the air out of the tip of the condom when you put it on. We have a helpful article here: Condom Basics: A User's Manual Does this make sense?

Re: Semen in eye
Hi Heathella, It is possible to get an eye infection or pass on STIs via semen getting into the eye. It sounds like you did the right thing by washing your eyes out with water straight away when it happened. If it doesn't clear up in the next day or so, I'd suggest that you get it checked out by a h...

It is scary to tell someone new that you are living with an STI, and unfortunately you can't control or even always predict their response.
