hey i use veet *(the one with the bladeless shaver). I have used it for my legs once and i find it easier to just shave but w/e. I also use it to take off the hair on my chin and my hands and fingers. Is this okay? Also what else do you use it for or recommend?

Thanks in advance!

o yeah im a 15/f !!!!!

well veet is the BEST way to remove the hair down there if you know what i mean. It is the only thing i use for a nice bikini line hair removal, it works wayyy better than anything else

alsooooooooo i use it for my armpits because that way it lasts about a week befroe i need to get rid of it again

whatever you do, do not use it on your eyebrows!
i made that mistake already
=P


good luck!

is anyone out there a teenage mom? can you tell me how your finding it cuz i think i might be pregnant.

HEY I AM GETTING BACK TO YOU LIKE YOU ASKED IN THE FEEDBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, the symptoms can take up to a month to appear so be patient, don't jump to conclusions.








10. Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

9. Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.

8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus � a process that starts just six days after fertilization � but no one knows for sure.

The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)


7. Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either � pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

6. Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

5. Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

4. Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

3. A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

2. Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant.

And finally...

1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.

Im 15/f and havent done anything sexually. i was wondering if i should be shaving? I have and it hurts really bad and leaves red bumps. Any suggestions? I dont know what guys are into. Should I even be shaving or does it matter? THANKS!

shaving isn't just to impress the opposite sex, it is about hygiene. No, you do not have to shave everything odd but it is necessary to trim the hedges, so to speak.

the red bumps are called razor burn, and don't worry you're not alone. You don't need to stop shaving, you just need to learn how to remove the hair without irritating the skin.

one trick is to dry shave with an electric razor.

another would be to shave under water

an effective [but expensive] way to remove hair is to wax

but my number one choice for your razor-burn free hair removal is to use Veet. Veet is a lotion that removes hair in 3 minutes, kind of like Nair but it does not burn or smell funky =P
It is cheap and works really well, that is what I use. If your skin is very sensative then just leave it on for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. this will make your hair thin and brittle, instead of removing it all. I do this because then it is easier to shave, and is pain free.

good luck dollface

ok so i'm writing a story. Its about a little girl wo is very afraid of her dentist. She thinks that he is a murderer who wants to kill her mom and is very observant of what is going on. The truth is that his mom is having an affair with the dentist, but the story is told kind of scarily as if it is really a murder mystery. it would be more in depth and exciting in the real story, but what i'm wondering is:
should i write it from the point of view of the little girl who's only seven? or should it be from a narrator's point of view who talks about what the girl is thinking and stuff. It would be easier to make the writing better from a narrators point of view, but would it be more effective to write it from the little girl's perspective?

telling the story from the child's point of view, while remaining that the child is observant and quite intelligent for her age...but naive.

you can still write intelligently from the child's point of view, but making her observations wrong will be the showing of her age. Such as, she sees her mother and the dentist kissing and decribes it, making it clear to the reader that they were kissing, but her saying that she thinks he was attacking her. "I walked in to see his lips pressed upon his, her arms around his body, it was clear she needed help! He was attacking her, I was sure, she was merely struggling to get him off." or even have her find a note form the dentist to the mother have some suggestive metaphors and have the girl translate it as a death threat or soemthing. that is what I am talking about, intelligently writtern but naive.

this will make for an entertaining and cute story, you could reveal the affair in the ending when her mother explains it to her or somebody older says a key word and she pieces the puzzle together.

Pls help me. What should I do? Im inlove to a young girl,she is 9 years old????Im already 15 now?!! Is it bad? Im thinking im very stupid. I keep avoiding it but it hurts. What should I do pls?? Help help!!!

i am not going to lie, that is very wrong.
you should never try anything sexually with her, it is wrong and will gte you in trouble

but if you really do love her, wait until she is older. real love can wait. she should be at least 15 before you make your move, meaningwhile hang with girls your own age.

if you really love her, let her have her childhood. even if she says she wants to do something, look out for her and refuse to it could mess her up as she gets older. real love can wait, wait until she is 15

what can i do about my split ends?? like what kind of shampoos or anything ot make it straighter and healthier???

well first of all, once your hair is plit you just need to get a trim. but after that i have the ultimate cure.

pantene pro-V and generic shampoo brands have hot oil treatment products. This is just a small box of little bubbles with oil in them, you soak the bubble in hot water then while in the shower pop the bubble and mix the oil into your hair. shampoo it out and it makes your hair super soft and healthy. I do this for a week every month and my hair has never been healthier!

you can find this at your local grocery store or walgreens. this really works, good luck!

i have a blood clotting disorder and i want to get my tounge piersed.

my mom said i could be a issue
but were not docters!

and i cant check with a real docter cause my mom said shes not letting me get it piersed just yet untill im older (she thinks it looks tackey) and so i just would like to know about body piersings and how it will effect me.
i personally dont think something as little as a piersing will make a serious issue.

can a body piersing be harmful least i have a blood clotting disorder? ( the only piersing ive gotten is my ears (2ce) and attempted my belly button but it got infected badly)

considering your tongue has many major veins it is incredibly differant from piercing your ears or belly button. my sister had her tongue pierced and she does not have a blood clotting disorder, but it was bleeding uncontrolably.

i would not recremend doing this, but if you insist make sure you go to a place that is especially trained so they know just where to pierce it so they don't hit any major veins.

also a warning, tongue piercings get infected 36% of the time. so be careful!

My ear on the right is blocked from me hearing from it. I can probably assume water, wax, and soap is trapped in it. I am not getting any pain from it, because I have been using antibiotic and ear wax removal drops for the past few days, but it's still not helping with me hearing from it!

does anyone have any at-home methods I can try to get rid of this? I have already tried tilting my head for hours, including overnight. So any ideas?

I know I might need to see a Doctor but before doing so I would like to try some new ideas to see if that will work before I consider going to one.

Thanks in advance!

i had this problem and it is easily solved. although it is uncomfortable, this is what my doctor told me...

as ghetto as this soudns i doubt you have a doctor's utensil so i used a turkey baster. filled up a cup with warm water [NOT HOT!] and about 1/4 of the cup with hydrogen peroxide. fill of the baster, tilt your head to the side of the ear you are doing this too, and start pumping! do this over the sink because the water should be coming back out along with some extra wax build ups. you won't get wax everytime, i didnt get anything until the end when i was doing this.

this works because although you are taking something already for wax build-up, there may be stubborn, hard pieces of wax.

only do this if you use q-tips to clean your ears regularly. I say this because q-tips cause the wax to get pushed back and form these hard pieces of wax, if you haven't used them then that is not the problem and it just won't be comfortable

good luck and im sorry for your illness!

Okay, 2 days ago I shaved "down there." Im a girl, by the way. And now it ITCHES so bad. I dont know what to do! What can I do to make it stop itching..I put lotion on, that didnt really help though.

believe me, i know how you feel. You have razor burn, and I get it everytime i shave down there. Unfortunately, no matter what other girls will tell you this will last a couple days, but you can get some temporary relief. here are some home remedies that i have used in the past...

Dissolve two uncoated aspirins with some warm water to make a thin runny paste. Leave this on your skin for 30 seconds. This works because the aspirin has a drug that will relieve pain and sort of numb the nerves that make it itch. It will not make you feel numb down there haha but it will give you relief.

Also, aleo vera will cure the irritation and redness, but may not do much for the itching

THIS WORKS but it takes a bit mroe work, the oatmeal bath. Add powered oatmeal to a warm bath and soak for fifteen minutes. If no powered oatmeal is available, simply add one cup of oatmeal into a clean sock or nylons and soak in the bathwater. Oatmeal will reduce swelling and itching

i have not tried this before, but my friend brags about how much it works. Apply apple cider vinegar on the razor burn affected area. This will probably burn, but once washed off the itching should stop.


to avoid this ever happening again...

dry shave with an electric razor.

shave it without shaving cream under water while in the bath

use Veet or Nair, but hese may also cause differant rashes if your skin is sensative. although veet is less likely to irritate your skin.

Okay, so I'm 16 (female) and my boyfriend is 22. We've known each other since this last summer and we started talking more once he gave me his screen name.
We've liked each other for about 2 months and hung out a few times. We just started actually dating a week ago.
We make each other really happy. We argue about who likes and misses each other more. We have these deep conversations that end up confusing the hell out of us.
When I told my best friend that I was dating him, she flipped out and said "Ewww, that's disgusting." I guess she doesn't approve over the whole age thing. In my eyes, age is nothing but a number. I just wanted some opinion's.. whether it be good or bad. What do you think of the age gap?

well the reason why your friend may be disgusted is because she sees your boyfriend as a pedafile. I am not saying he is, in fact I believe you two have a deeper connection than sex from what you told me, but for a 22 year old to be dating a teenager makes one wonder if he is attracted to younger girls and that is a problem. I think you have a good thing going, don't let other people bring you down. But please be sure he does not have a thing for younger girls or be naive about intentions he may have.

all in all, be cautious but follow your heart.

No explanations please, just a straight up answer.

Is it easier to get pregnant before, during, or after your period.

Thanks

After.

well over the summer ive lost 30 pounds i usually get my period on the 14th of the month and its now the 21st! can losing weight make your period irregular?

weight loss can definantly inturrupt your monthly flow, especially when it is that dramatic. But healthy weight loss does not. This means your not getting enough nutrition and your system is malfunctioning. Remember that malnutrition [or not plain not eating enough] can make you infertile and very sick. So take a vitamin everyday and eat three whole meals and as soon 2 months you should be back on schedule.

Lately, for like the past few days, everyday i've had brown stuff in my panties whenever i check. I dont think its my period, i was on it a few weeks ago. Is this bad, what is it?

Well the first question i need to ask is, are you sexually active? if so, discolored discharge can mean chlymidia. Chlymidia has no real symptoms so you may not feel any abnormalties, but it is important you get checked because it can lead to infertility, and overian cancer. Go to your doctor and get testsed as soon as possible because if caught early, it iw treatable.

if you are not sexually active then you may be experiencing a yeast infection. That is easily treated and with some medication from your doctor

hi i just have a question can u get pregnant by putting your vagina to a hot tub jet for like 5 minutes???????????????????????????????????????????????????? I hope not cause my friend did it and she is very scared. please write back.

Not at all. You see, sperm are what have to be present in order to get anybody pregnant and that is ONLY found in a guys genitalia. So unless a guy's penis is inside her vagina, there is no way she can get pregnant

[view]


well...im female, and 15 years old.

i'm not very popular, but i wouldnt say im a geek either.

i really dont feel like i have any friends. im sort of friends, or what you would call aquiantences (sp) with probably 15 people, but i dont actually feel like i have someone to be there for me when i need it.

school really sucks. nobdoy call tell though. i always act hyper and friendly but its beginning to get harder lately, just because.

i would like to know if other people feel like this...or if its just me. adivce would be nice too. sorry if i sound depressed or something. i dont think i am, just the place im in right now does not fit very well with my personality.

thanks for your time :)



ps.
please dont say join clubs or something to get new friends because my school is very small. i could name every single student in my grade. most of the upperclassman too. i know everyone...so yeah

can i say that i think i know you? that just you asking that question you have helped me?

I am not just going to give good advice here, this question i feel obligated to tell you i am completely the same. At school everybody knows me as the hyper perky always happy girl but the truth is i always feel like if i was ever really in need, nobody would be there.

the truth is that no matter what everybody makes it seem like, most people don't have really good friends they just act like it.

What i do is i find one person im capatable with and i become best friends with that one person. To me, this at least ensures that at least one person will be there for me

Just don't go around trying to make a million firends, focus on building one strong relationship then move to the next and so on. Because otherwise you'll just end up a girl with a million aqaintances.

and finally, tell some personal about yourself to your friends. If you open up, they feel like they know you. A one on one conversation where you expose what you really feel or something personal will make the other person feel almost, connected with you. That is how great friendships start

good luck and, well... thanks
you actually helped me realize where im at =]

So, I was talking with this guy and I'm 15 and he's 16. We were planning on doing it because, I thought, we were basiclly dating. Today, I found out he had a myspace and apparently he has a girlfriend he never told me about or mentioned. I saw the comments she left him saying how much she loves him and then his replys and they were from today. I know this means he's basiclly an ass and I shouldn't be with him or care for him anymore but I really hurt. Should I just not answer his calls and have nothing to do with him anymore or should I confront him or what should I do? Should I tell his girlfriend that he was planning on having sex with me? (I've never talked to her before) Someone please help me before I lose my mind.

I know you have the urge to "warn" his girlfriend or confront him and get angry, but believe me it will only bring more pain.

if you try to tell his gf then he will make up some story that your some stalker, and there is a whole lot of more trouble. the fact is, your the girl on the side and the smartest thing to do is calmly tell him you wnt be taking his calls nymore and leave it at that

delete him from you phone & memory. He's only trouble and you dnt need that kind of negativity in your life.

ok, i've bin vomiting spontaniusly lately, like i really mean spontaniusly, like i can feel great one second then be gaging the next. its kinda bothering me and i dont know what it could be, people have bin telling me that i could be pregnant but i dont beleive it to be true because just had my periode last week, i guess my qiestion is, am i just sick or could i be pregnant because i'm on the pill and people also tell me that the pill will still make you have your periode if your pregant is that true?

DO NOT PANIC! i know exactly what is wrong and although it seems terrible, it's treatable.

you are not ill or pregnant, you have acid reflex disease.

I went through this earlier this year and i just assumed i had a bad stomach bug but my doctor told me the spontaneous vomiting was because the acid was shooting up and down my esophagus triggering a gagging. I didn't even feel anything like acid but after some medication i feel fine.

go to your doctor and get tested for acid reflex disease. Im 15 and i got it, so it is possible for anybody to get it.

good luck =]

Does anyone know of an effective way to keep your gauchos (and underwear for that matter) from riding up? I want to wear my gauchos to my drivers ed class tomorrow but i dont want to have a wedgie everytime i stand up..its VERY embarrassing. Does anyone know of anything that will keep my underwear and gauchos from riding? Sorry if this offends anyone! I greatly appreciate any answer!

Thanks In Advance!

there are alot of ways, here are some that me or ym friends have successfully tried...

1. boyshort underwear or spandex. spandex makes your butt firmer and doesnt leave underwear lines.

2. put some hairspray (yes, hairspray) on your butt part of the pants while your wearing them, let it dry. no your but won't be hard.

3. wear them lower on your hips. this is the easiest and is most definantly effective.

4. put just a little bit of tape (duct tape, or anything but scotch tape) on the inside on the but area on your pants. Nobody can tell and trust me it always works if done correctly. (horizontally) It will not effect how cute they look on you. I do this and although it seems wierd, it works for me all the time.

5. Use starch while ironing your pants on the but area. This will amke it stiffer so the fabric won't cling up your butt

good luck =]

I have really bad cramps right now. Is there anything I can eat or drink to help them not be so bad? I don't want to take medicine though.

bananas and other food high in potassium will effectively help cramps. Also, as mard as it seems, activity will make the cramps go away so if you get up and move, scrub floors (i find this one to ALWAYS work), or go running the cramps will go away.

remember, bananas are the best and most effective way to avoid cramps.
