Laundry and other adulting advice Anonymous 21763[Reply]

Teach me laundry
Had neglectful parents, mother especially thought me 0 adult skills or knowledge. I didn't know I'm meant to change my period pads more than once a day until femanons on 4chan pointed it out… Embarrassing. Hopefully this thread can be found useful or interesting for others as well who've been unsure.

Here's some questions to start off:
>When my black underwear is bleached out red from bodily discharge, or when other underwear develops deep permanent white-ish stains, that's a sign to throw them out cuz they develop bacteria, right?
>How often do you do your personal laundry? Is it only til hamper is full? Every weekend even if not much clothes to wash?
>Do you always use fabric softener for your cotton clothing when you wash?
>Does color sorting matter?
>Is 20c fine to use on all cotton except for underwear to extend the lifespan or is that not efficient enough to kill off the bacteria? Is it better to always default to 30c or maybe even 40c?
>What exactly even is "rinse and drain" mode, is it for further rinsing clothes without detergent to ensure the soap is fully washed out of the clothes?
>Any laundry brands you'd recommend specifically that make a difference?
>How hot do you wash your underwear, would you wash at 95c if your machine has the option? Do you use detergent specifically designed for underwear?
>Do you wash second hand clothing immediately when you get them home?
>How often should a beanie hat be washed in your opinion, assuming it is worn daily. How about sweatshirts and hoodies worn daily or sweatpants?
>How many wears or how often every few weeks do you wash your bras?

Thanks for all the advice! I appreciate it, but am a little bit skeptical, if you don't mind elaborating. How come washing twice a week for clothes in the hamper, and why do you think beanies only stay clean 2 days? I only shampoo twice a week since my hair doesn't get greasy, and my estiticuan suggested 2 times a week for hair is a fine minimum for hygiene.

I only ask, as it'd help me decide. Online I've read allegedly beanies get washed once a week.

>>21765
Unhygienic, as in, the bacteria breeds quick and then can't be fully washed out in the laundry machine? Or do you mean the bacteria can then spread out the hamper, into the air and other nearby objects? Thanks for th advice and sharing your routine, it sounds like one I likely will follow.

>>21766
Thanks! I do use wool balls already, great stuff.

I do short 1-hour 20c cycles for everything that's not outright stained. And yes, it makes your clothes last longer.

I dont get your first question completely but I wash clothes from mon to wed on thu and thu to sat on sunday. I change clothes often so washing only once a week is too much for me.
I think beanies only stay clean for 2 days because it is coming in contact with not only your hair grease and stuff but also pollution and dust outside. I also have very long and thick hair so my answer was made with that in mind lol ^^.

>>How often do you do your personal laundry? Is it only til hamper is full? Every weekend even if not much clothes to wash?
I don't have a lot of clothes so I need to wash every week. If you have plenty of clothes you can just wait until you have a full load
>Do you always use fabric softener for your cotton clothing when you wash?
Never but take with a grain of salt, my local water isn't hard
>>Does color sorting matter?
Opinions seem to vary on this but ime it's totally fine if you don't wash hot (30 degrees celcius or lower). Just wash seperately when you wash it for the first time.
>How hot do you wash your underwear
60, that's what my hygiene setting washes at. But I googled it (cuz I never thought about it) and it says cotton underwear at 60 and synthetic at 40
>would you wash at 95c if your machine has the option?
no
>Do you use detergent specifically designed for underwear?
No
>Do you wash second hand clothing immediately when you get them home?
No, goes into the dirty clothes pile
>How often should a beanie hat be washed in your opinion, assuming it is worn daily.

Samefag but about the frequency of washing, if you're not sure: Does it look clean? Does it smell fine? If yes you can keep waering it. If it has any sweaty/unpleasant smells or has stains or smears etc. in it, wash it. Don't skip the armpit and crotch areas when you smell.

I went to all you can eat sushi restaurant for and binged so hard. It was an impulse decision too and I had a proper big lunch and breakfast that day. Normally I’d starve myself and then binge at an all you can eat restaurant but I didn’t this time and felt soooo full and bloated after. I had to eat a lemon ginger anti nausea medication and a giant pot of lemon ginger tea to feel like I am digesting. Then I guzzled some Metamucil because otherwise I’d be constipated.

Kinda mad at the restaurant because I thought I ordered at max 3 deep fried things but they gave me 4 tempura even though I ordered 2 and a veggie roll turned out to be deep fried as well. Slept like a rock because of the insulin spike. I counted the calories and I ate a whopping 2700 calories yesterday! Trying to skip breakfast and lunch today to go into a calorie deficit.

I feel extra guilty too because previously I was eating super clean aside from a chocolate here or there (1-2 squares per week)

Any advice on how to atone for my binging sin?

Eat as normal but spend 30 minutes walking every day for a week.

Don't punish yourself because you binged. You probably went with friends or family, yeah? It was fun? In the long run 1k-2k extra for one day isn't a big deal.

Yeah I’ve been walking 1h everyday and eating normally. Feel much better now. Actually weighted myself the other day and lost 3 lbs miraculously.

It was for a birthday and it was fun until I felt sick to my stomach. Didn’t even order green tea ice cream!

Bought my lunch ahead of time and promptly ate it right after breakfast.

OK so I have switched from a Fluoride based toothpaste to a Nano Hydroxypatite one and my teeth feel less sensitive. I'm switching different things in my diet ( mainly sugar ) to see if that is also in play.
Anybody else here that has experienced this?

Which Tinted Lip Balm Do You Use? Anonymous 21758[Reply]

I think they adds a more natural and subtle color that lipstick but they also prevents chapped lips

You can just use olive oil for chapped lips. Best option if you’re at home or something. It works.

I ate at maintenance and got a lot of sleep these past two days but I'm still so exhausted. I don't want to but I guess I need to eat at maintenance for longer.

I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been doing a lot of exercise but I'm still eating back some of my calories so I'm not starving myself. Yesterday I was 600 calories under my limit so I had some crackers to bring it to 300 calories under my limit.

Anonymous 21756

I ate lots of fried food last night (planned) but I managed my calories well and walked 18k steps so I ended up under my calorie limit!

Having big boobs is uncomfortable as fuck and it sucks. The sweating and just back hurting constantly.

Why do skinny girls even want these?

I’m Asian with a small frame so being flat chested has always made me very uncomfortable and self conscious with how my chest looks, like to the point I’ll not wear anything with a deep neckline.

“Roots” are where your boob attaches to your body. I don’t think it’s a technical term. If the underside of your boob attaches “high”, it will make them more saggy, but if it attaches lower they can stay perky

Does anyone have any good white foundations? Anonymous 21742[Reply]

I'm a darker skinned gal who's going to a fancy dress party as a clown/jester. I've used white face paint and it is dismal. No coverage, just looked ashy. Most white foundations I've seen use models who are naturally quite light skinned,and I'm not sure it'd be full coverage on my skin. Any one got good brands? I'm willing to spend 15 dollars on this.

Clitoral Adhesions/Keratin Pearls? Anonymous 21662[Reply]

I sometimes get these small, slightly itchy or painful bumps or nodules right under the “hood”. I’ve used a q-tip to try and remove them, but that can be painful too. Did some googling and found out what they’re called, but no idea how to prevent them. Any tips?

I’ve heard coconut oil works but IDK. Do you remove them manually?
