TMI Tuesday!

I have an ingrown hair on my labia, it is really uncomfortable and annoying. Any suggestions?

Anyone else have anything good?

  • @blueeyedblossom - that sounds painful!!

    I was ready my smut novel at lunch and it got so raunchy but it actually turned me on a little. Now I can't wait to get home!

  • @Sewilson33, I always warn my DH when I start reading a smut book.. They always turn me on!
  • Ooo these are good ones this week.

    @blueeyedblossomcould you try tea tree oil and tweezers?

    @sewilson33 - lucky DH! Also, I used to read smut on the bus on my way home and it was making me uncomfortable. Now I read them on vacations exclusively, ha!

    I've been spotting/AF for two friggen weeks.  I don't want to scar DH with a massacre so we haven't had sex and we are both dying! He told me on the weekend that 'he wouldn't look down' but I still can't get into it

    Do it in the shower!! Running water self-cleans any potential mess.

  • LuckyAngel07 - I have tried to explain this concept to DH. We tried it once and he was scarred by it for some reason which is annoying! I cannot understand how he can have his whole arm up a deer cleaning it without his stomach turning but gets turned off by my bleeding (which is a tiny amount thanks to BC - last month I didn't even wear a tampon or pad the first 2 days of the iron pills!)

  • @lindsayandjamie Another one for the shower.  I've been spotting/bleeding for about 7 weeks total now, and the shower is the only place we feel comfortable doing it.  You could also lay a towel down on the bed and try it that way.  H just isn't allowed to put his hands down there for the time being.

    My TMI is pretty gross and descriptive. Do not read on if you have a weak stomach.  It is also loss related.....

    I had an appointment yesterday and decided to attempt the suppository to help pass the fetus.  At 4:30am I had full blown contractions and got up to go to the bathroom.  It came out. Needless to say I'm a very curious person and I wanted to know if it was just a larger version of what came out in the shower (possibly the twin they saw evidence of). So I picked it up out of the dirty toilet and "inspected."  
    I've washed my hands about 50 times since, and still can't get over that I put my hand in the toilet to fish it out.

  • @brj2006 - oh my gosh that is so incredibly sad. I am sure I would have done the same thing, I don't think it's gross at all. I am so sorry you had to deal with that.

  • @brij2006, that just sounds awful to me! Not in a gross way so much as in a horribly sad way. I'm really not sure I'd have had the guts to really look.

    @barefootbluejean204 & @luckyangel07  For some reason it didn't phase me at all.  Granted it was at 4:30am and amidst the pain and discomfort, so I didn't really think before doing it.  I just wanted to confirm it was what I thought it was, and get the closure. 

    Then I realized I had stuck my hand into the dirty toilet. Gross.

  • @brij2006. I would have done it too. Maybe even just for closure and I'm weird when it comes to stuff like that. Kind of like I need the science behind it. I'm so sorry again that you've had to go through this. I hope you're doing ok. (And I'm sure your hands are clean now :-* )

    As for shower sex, we can't do it because he has to be in a semi-squat and I'm on my tiptoes. Oh, and also he can't finish in a standing position, haha! Now that is TMI.

  • I hate shower sex. There is absolutely nothing appealing about having sex in any kind of water to me.
  • @blueeyedblossom ichthammol ointment life saver. It's gross and tar like, but it works amazingly.
  • Thank you @bruinsbabe33! Can I get this at walgreens?
