Today, July 8th, is the anniversary of my first period. I will never forget July eighth of 2013 when I had it. It was so painful, I was only 9 at the time too, so I thought Satan had been summoned into my stomach to make me bleed. (I was raised Catholic)

It was horrendous, I threw up, I passed out in bed, had a nightmare of going to Hell and woke up screaming "Jesus, save me!", threw up again and ruined my Game Boy Advance, it was just pure scream bloody gore.

And there's my two cents. Please share your sweet horror stories about your periods.

Do nonas have any experience with getting rid of stains in clothing?
I recently tried to remove real old yellow spots from a blue cotton tshirt. Seems like soaking it with dish soap helped the best, but you still can kinda see a bit of it left.

How have you guys effectively lost weight? I'm trying a new workout routine and staying under a calorie limit, but this routine is pretty new.

Water is absoultely needed. Apart from that coffee, tea, matcha or energy drinks is what I have heard people drink. Personally I find drinking an energy drink in the morning insane but you do you. I like the bitternes of coffee but it makes me very anxious so I stick to matcha. Tea is good too but only in milk.
I don't like the ones overloaded with sugar no matter what it is but I do like how they are presented.

should I try the homeless crackhead regimen

I tried tretinoin for a while but it just made my face burn and feel rough no matter how light and spaced out I went with it. Recently got into azelaic acid instead and it's been managing my break outs way better as well as keeping my skin calm. I still dab my breakouts with tret and slap a zit sticker over it after it's dried but I'm using it considerably less. What's been your savior?

So i was on nexplanon for 3 years and didn't have a period. Then I got it out and had the worst periods of my life for 6 months. so I decided to go back on nexplanon. however this time, my periods didn't go away, and they last for a month, and now after a year i've been diagnosed with anemia (my ferritin level was 5 with the recommended range >100). the blood test cost me $400 and i fainted right after they took it. i went on iron supplements but what do i do now? it feels like i just bleed out all the iron i eat each month. if i get nexplanon taken out i bleed like crazy, but if i leave it in i have these month-long periods. i feel like this will eventually kill me, who knows how long my brain and heart have been running on low oxygen. but i live in the usa and don't have healthcare so uhhh

What are some of your favorite hair related YouTube channels?

What's your hair routine?

Do you take any supplements/do (you think) they work?

Is there anything worse than being flat? Being slender with small breasts and slim hips, and the number of strangers who feel like it's their place to tell me I have the body of a 12 year old boy is wild. because of the phrase real women have curves I have feel so disconnected from my femininity because of this and the other micro aggressions like Only a child could use this bras

see belle delphine, her body sucks and she ended up having to do pdfile shit to gain all those money… she was not HOT in a sexy way, she was weird and acted like a bratty child so her lolicon community spended all their money on her

Men will say they prefer small titties but will always choose big tits over flat.

Do adults with natural light blonde hair exist? Does blonde hair really become naturally brown?
