Hi! I was just wondering how old you are. Also, where do you get all the info? is there a website that could help me?
Hey! I'm 19 and my parents are both great athletes and my mother is sort of a health nut. She reads a ton about this kind of stuff. I'm not sure about a website, but I'll see what I can find. Pretty much all the tips I gave though aren't anything out of the ordinary and are widely accepted ways to get healthy. I'll look into a website for ya though!
ok so i have tried to put in tampons and it didn't go so well. Am I doing it right or is there something wrong with me? I put one leg on the toilet and put it in the hole. But when I was trying it wouldn't go in. I can see the hole but when i try to put it in, there is like a muscle stoppng me from putting it in. and when i push it in it hurts so i stop. Am I putting it in right or is it suppose to slide in?
Hii. No there's nothing wrong with you. The first time tried to put one in, i used a cardboard tampon which was a big mistake. I was in the bathroom forever and it took me so long and it hurt! I thought it was impossible to get something that big into that tiny hole!
Here's what you should do:
- make sure you use the smallest tampon size you can find and make sure its plastic! (they go in somuch easier!)
- get Vaseline and and put tons of in the applicator (but try not to get it no thepart where you grip it.)
- and lastly,make sure your legs are wide apart and read the directions on the box.
It may hurt in the beginning and when you finally get it in it may feel uncomfortable the first few times but after that it'll be so much better than pads and it will get so easy. You'll be using super plus in no time ;]
Hope it works out and i gave you some helpful advice!
Lately, I've been feeling really dizzy and tired. It's been going on for the last 2 days or so, and I was just wondering--- has anyone ever felt these things with allergies? Because my cheeks and eyes have been hurting, and I've been congested and had frequent headaches.
I'd really appreciate some help-- because I'm a hypochondriac, and even though is just dizziness, I'm still freaking out thinking I'm dying.
Thank you!
Heyya! Sometimes during allergy season its normal to feel dizzy and tired. Its a wonderful part of spring, NOT.
Haha, even though this can be a regular part of allergies it might be something else. Take a few days to rest and take some allergy medicine. If you're not feeling better, you might wanna see the doctor just incase. Maybe he can give you something for your allergies.
I hope you feel better, and i hope i helped!
I am now on my period (it's day 5), and usually by this time in my cycle, bleeding is practically done, and all I have is minor spotting/old blood. But this time, my flow is pretty irregular for me, and I am still bleeding (almost medium flow). This is not normal for me, I should be practically done by now. I think that stress is probably a factor, but I am also concerned about one other thing... I started using a menstrual cup (bell shaped, collects blood), called Diva Cup. It was my first cycle using it, and insertion was annoying to say the least, I have been trying to get used to it (it beats pads and tampons by a lot), and I am not sure whether constant inserting/removing could have caused some irregularity in my cycle...
For any ladies out there: is bleeding this far out in my cycle a potential cause of concern, given I'm usually practically done by the 5th day? And also, could the use of the menstrual cup have had anything to do with this (or am I getting worked up over nothing)?? Thanks!
Heyy there! So you've started using Diva Cup. Well they are good for the environment so good job! Haha, I understand your concerns about your period.
I understand your period usually lasts for 5 days and longer than this is unusual however, a womans period can last up to 7 days so you shouldn't worry about it being a little longer than usual. (Mine usually last about that long it's completely normal.) It may have something to do with your new menstrual cup but its nothing to worry about.
If you start to notice that your period is longer than a week or you bleed way to much, you might want to see a doctor.
p.s. Menstrual cups have been known to cause yest infections, but only if they aren't cleaned and changed regularly. So if you care for the cup properly they shouldn't cause any problems.
Good luck with your period. Hope i helped!
is weed actually bad for you? if you only do it occasionaly, like every other weekend or something.
YESSSS. Heyya, so i guess you're curious about trying pot, or maybe wondering if its bad if you keep smoking it. Yes! Weed is bad for you. You may think, well i know kids who smoke it and they're fine! The truth is marijuana is very harmful to your body and mind.
It can: cause psychological addiction, it can (if bad)cause medical problems and conditions, decrease mental abilities and burn out brain cells, cause mental confusion, lung damage, weight gain, increased tolerance (requiring more of the drug to get you high) and decreased sexual performance.
It may seem harmless but really it is NOT a good thing to get into. If you have smoked, STOP! And if you're thinking about starting, DON'T START!
I know it can be tempting but, do what right for your body, you owe it to yourself! Hope i helped you out!
