what is a diva cup and how does it work?

thanx=)

Very well! Basically, it is inserted similarly to a tampon (they'll show you where it needs to go) and basically collects everything leaking out of your cervix. It depends on the period, but usually it gets emptied twice a day. It's a bit messier than a tampon until you get the hang of it... you'll want to make sure the first few times are at home in private!

The big benefit is that there's no waste; the biggest problem is that it sits in a drawer for a month collecting germs/yeast - wash it before every use!

Hi, I'm only 22 years old....female. I went on the contraceptive pill and was on it for two years. However, I had to stop due to side effects such as really bad migraines and loss of libido. However, since I stopped a year ago, my breasts have decreased in size and my libido has not returned! What can I do to regain my breasts and my libido? PLease help me as my situation is really making me feel so old.

A big issue is time... you were on hormones (that's what's in them things) for two years, and off them for how long?

Breasts are enlarged when you're on the pill because it makes parts of your body act as if it's pregnant - if you have a kid, they'll probably be that size again! Not helpful, I know, but I don't think there's anything to be done about it.

Libido, though... so many variables. First is time; if you've only been off for a month or two I'd suggest waiting a bit for the hormones to fade completely. Of course, there are many different pills; I think the best thing to do would be to chat with whomever prescribed them to you; they certainly ought to know more than I.

Whenever my boyfriend fingers me, it feels like I have to fart. I havent actually farted yet, but how can I prevent this feeling?
Please help!

It's probably due to the angle of entry - which isn't necessarily a problem, but if he's pressing on the rear (towards your butt) of your vagina he's missing the best parts. Try lying back more and having him angle his fingers to the front; it's much more sensitive and you should be able to relax more.

whats a hymen?? am i totally clueless cause i dont know?does like, everybody know?

It's basically a tight ring of skin near the opening of a woman's vagina. It will usually tear the first time the woman has intercourse and will bleed a little (and maybe hurt a tad). Often times the hymen will tear earlier, however, just by chance - don't worry. Typically virginity is determined by wether or not the hymen is intact.

ok so i just had unprotected sex yesterday, and i havent had my period for this month yes and just hypotheticaly speaking if i am pregnant then will i have a period this month or will i not because i preganant or does it not start till your 2nd month?

If you're pregnant you won't get your period for nine months or so. Don't panic right away, though; your body isn't fully predictable - if you are nervous or this is one of your first sexual encounters your period may be late. Up to a week late is considered perfectly normal - if it's more than two past due I'd start to get worried.

My bf moved to another state for a job. We were still together when he left. He hasnt contacted me in 5 months, and I'm so tired of waiting around for him. I think he's been completely selfish not contacting me. I've finally come to the heartbreaking realization that it's over.
My question is how can I get over him so I can move on with my life? Everyone tells me I'm a pretty girl and can find another bf very easily.
The problem is I would feel really guilty if I started dating someone without letting my bf know. I need some sort of closure, but I have no way of contacting him because he shut off his cell and everytime I email him they get returned. Does anyone have any ideas?

Buy a vibrator. Once you run out of batteries you can start looking for a new boyfriend guilt-free.

This Friday is this HUGE dance... everyone goes and I am getting tickets from this guy I know. So, he's going to be there and somtimes I get tongue-tied and say stupid things around guys. How can I not get tongue tied? Also, what are some cute,hot,sexy,etc. things to say to him that will make him like me more? I'll rate 5s!

So you say stupid things around guys... but why say anything at all? I'm guessing there are moments of awkward silence that you're trying to fill. Why are they awkward? Is he trying to indicate that he desires you? I would bet that the guys are just as nervous.

As for cute/hot/sexy, actions speak WAY louder than words. I'm not saying kiss him or grab the butt - try simply being closer, squeezing an arm here or there, wiping something off of his shirt (even if it's not there!). Make sure you smell nice.

Just try not to feel forced.

ok theres this boy, lets call him matt. matt likes me and has a big crush on me cause during my youth group hes always make me hysterical laugh cause he knows all the lyrics to any song and he sings funny. so one day i offered him some mints and hes like "ill only take one if you be my girlfriend" it was so sudden. and trust me hes not my type, he stayed back 2 years in school and the only reason i offered him some of my mints cause i was to all my friends n i didnt wanna seem rude. now all of a sudden he does these gross sexual movements near me and winks at me. i feel really uncomfortable with him doing this to me and it embaresses me, he does it infront of the whole class to me. i try to tell him to stop and its disgusting, but he cant get it through it dumb immature brain. no hes not retarded, just immature. how can i show him that im really disgusted n i want him to stop?

It seems like you've tried to show him and that it hasn't worked. You can keep trying, but I'd think the best way to go is to ask the teacher/supervisor to have a talk with him. Let him know what you're doing; maybe he can get transferred to another class or at least will get some counseling so you don't have to face him alone.

Me and mum used to get along really well. Now i am getting moody i suppose and i am always fighting with her. I hate it because we always got along so well. But i am not just saying it is me, mum seems to be a bit rude to me sometimes and i get really upset. I want to talk to her about it but every time i try she tells me to stop being so sensitive and silly. please help i am not sure what to do and it is really getting to me.
Thanks in advance

So it seems like there are two problems - your mom is rude to you, and you're very moody... I translate that to you being rude to her as well.

Now, you have complete control over your moodyness - you have no real control over your mother. So, my advice would be to exercise your control over yourself first; if you're in a bad mood, stay away from people or do something that you know will cheer you up. If you're successful in controlling the moodyness towards your mom I'm sure you'd have less of a problem.

Theres a girl at my school (not my friend but i talk to her) and her boyfriend recently broke up with her. She's heart broken and feels that she isn't good enough. Now she wont eat..shes refusing to eat and its scaring everyone. She is dropping pounds by the second and is always depressed. I really want to help her, but I don't know her family personally enough to tell them. Should I let her suffer? i would feel wrong not telling anyone.

Smear her with animal fat - it'll be absorbed through the skin and she won't have to eat.

okay well i was friends with someone online for a few months and we got really close - we told each other like everything and stuff. I showed her like one pic maybe and my face wasn't showing that well and I'm not really comfortable showing pics online anyway because I knew that she saved them on her computer. Well, we grew apart, and then a month after we did I found out that she was even bisexual. the problem is.. she ims me every once in a while and asks for my pic, saying that she has all these pics of her friends saved. am i wrong for not wanting to give it, or feeling that im only imed so she could see my pic?

[ 15 / f ]

the question should be: what's the worst she could do? Assuming she's not asking for indecent pictures, I don't think the worst is very bad. Maybe she'll show her friends and they'll all laugh at you, but so what?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for about 4 months. I love him so much but when ever he says I love you to me I dont belive it. He knows I dont. He kind of gets angry because I wont belive when he says it. Why wont I belive it? Is there something wrong with me?

yes.

ok. I almost lost my home yesterday because of a huge flood. and i was to call my "best friend" on the phone. and this is the conversation.
me: hey
her:hey I heard about the flood
me: yeah, they might not let us back in our houses for 2-3 months.I'm basicly homeless.
her:oh well I have 2 friends over and I don't want to be rude
me: *scoffs* yeah ok bye
her:bye

....there were only two friends of mine that said "hey well if you need a place to live you can come here" if my "friend" was actually my friend why did she blow me off in my time of need?

. . . because she had two friends over and didn't want to be rude?

I feel a bit awkward using this site.. I've never asked anyone for advice like this before.. I'm a 15 year old male, and I've been with my girlfriend for about 8 months. She works at a pizza shop and is surrounded by other people. A few weeks ago a worker from a different location was transferred to her shop.. She got along very well with him. I saw her that weekend and she seemed a little subdued, I tried to talk to her about it, but she said she was fine.. I tried to call her the following evening, but she didn't pick up her phone, nor her mobile.. I was pretty worried.. and I'm known to be a very worrying and fragile type person..

Anyway, the day after, I called her and found out that she had been at the movies with this guy.. She told me it was as a friend.. but later that night when she went to work, he kissed her.. this really upset me.. And she said she was very sorry and would stop seeing him..

However, one day, the following week, I tried to call her, and she wasn't there.. I stayed up until about 1 or 2 in the morning, calling her, untill she finally picked up.. Having been out with him again.. She is very truthful to me, and said that she was just seeing him as a friend, and didn't tell me because she knew I'd get upset.

She said to me that she loves me, and likes him, but she doesn't know what she wants.. I really can't take being strung along like this.. I'm naturally a very sensitive person, and my music is no longer enough to keep me alive.. I'm not at school, I don't have a job, I have very little to hold me together.. I don't know if I can deal with this.. Can anyone help me?

Sounds like you have a lot to offer the girl. Maybe you should work on that and worry about your love life later.

ok my cuzin wants me to stand up in her 15th birthday they have another name for it but i can't spell it and i'm not gonna waste my time trying to spell it anyways i got 3 months i want to lose some weight! please give me tips on wat to eat and excersing i rate high and do u know how much weight i could possibly lose in 3 months ?

Little things - no cars, no escalators/elevators, no conveniences. Carry around something a little heavier all the time - the key is to raise your constant energy draw, not just burn some calories an hour a day. Eating healthy is fairly important; if you're really boned up on that I'd suggest getting a vegetarian cookbook and eating something out of it several times a week.

Im 17 and i know ill be losing my virginity this summer. But apart of me still thinks HE is too good for me. And that im not that beautiful and skinny enough to have sex. Has anyone ever felt this way? How should i get over these feelings?

if you can't love your body, how could anyone else? This is a sex question, but I think the bigger issue is your self-image. I'd try to exercise a little bit more - take the stairs etc - and see if 'he' notices.

Are girls scared of erections? I mean if you're making out and they feel one, would they be freaked out?

It depends on where they feel it.
