I thought I got it when I was 13 but it was haemorrhoids
I got it at 14, irregularly
Lost it at 15 because of sports and stress
It got regular at my current age, 18

I was 15 years old. I am one of the lucky ones :)

Sorry if it was a weird question! I asked because I also went to an all girls school and all the girls that got theirs late were also Japanese.

I got mine when i was 13, was too scared/ashamed to bring the subject up to my dad (mom died when i was younger, my dad never really discussed feminine hygiene stuff up to that point) for a month or two so i stole some pads when i was at my friend's house and looked up how to use them.
Later when i told him he went out and bought a large pack of pads from Tesco and hid it in case my brothers would make fun of me.
I still remember catching him googling how to handle this stuff later that day lol he was very flustered, but he was generally a shy man and i suspect that i may have inherited my mild asperger's from him.

I got boob lumps at 8 years old (me and my sisters called them "quarters" because it felt like a big coin under your skin lol) but no period until like 12 years old. I think I had hair well before period too… but can't remember. I wouldn't worry about it.

I think this is fine but I'm not a doctor. Probably shouldn't do it too often though.

>>14435
Idk if they're all the same, but for what I have been on you have to take it for at least 7 days for it to be effective.
So, yeah. As long as you've taken it for the first week you should be okay

Ive been to several doctors that all have told me that you can take bc pills perpetually. As in, you can take them everyday and it's fine for your body.
I, for example, choose to take mine continuously because I'm at risk for ovarian cysts, so not ovulating at all is the safest option for me.

>>14372
Yeah I think maybe I'll try to use the retinol only once every 2 days

honestly anons, I'm tired. I'm almost 30 and I still get pretty bad acne on my lower half of my face. I have tried fixing my diet, simple skincare, etc.

…and in recent weeks I've just…stopped. Despite having extremely dry and dehydrated skin (feels like paper, flakes, etc., but despite that looks extremely shiny and rough), I don't even use lotion anymore because I'm so afraid of not knowing what it is that's breaking me out. And I go days without putting anything on my face, yet I still break out.
Tretinoin? I tried for probably 6 months and I ended up chickening out because I heard some stories about it negatively affecting the skin.

I don't want to go on some sort of pill to fix my acne but I look so genuinely disgusting that I'm now genuinely getting afraid. The only thing keeping me comfortable is that now I have an excuse to literally ONLY wear a mask around other people and never take it off.

>>14403
What products do you use? How did you change your diet?

I only have a mattifying toner and a standard face wash to go with it.
OPs routine seems a lot, am I doing it wrong?

>>14416
Less is more in my experience.

>>14389
I've thought some about my post over the evening. Still unsure; but I do know that I sometimes wish I could have some cute bras/tops to wear rather than just being so comfy without. Seems like a strange thing to be enviable of, no?

>>14394
Why? There's nothing wrong with wanting to be cute. Have a look at Mimi Holliday and similar brands. They do very cute things. Even if you can't find a bra you like, you can get a cute vest or camisole to wear as lingerie.

>>14395
>There's nothing wrong with wanting to be cute.
I have a very hard time trying to let go of hangups I have from childhood over this. I was very introverted and hated any part of my body that showed I was a girl.

But those are my hangups, not yours lol. Thank you for the ideas to check out

>>14393
>people have called men interested in me pedos quite a bit kek or fat girls saying i look like a little boy
Did they say these things right in front of you or were these online comments?

>>14402
both, more so online since i got out of high school though

>>14303
Ugh, good to know- I have heard that sometimes it's the first couple months that are the worst. Did you see the issue drop off a bit after that period?

I didn't go on the pill specifically for skin issues, but I did have pretty moderate but annoying chest/back acne beforehand that totally went away with the pill.

If you have any tips for combatting body acne in particular I would love to hear em.

>>14294
you're welcome
>I definitely think that the pill lowered my sex drive considerably
then I think it will come back after you go back on it and you have that to look forward to <3

>>14314
actually I had some body acne after I went off now that I think about it, and benzoyl peroxide wash did the trick
Panoxyl is too harsh to use on the face IMO, but good for the body
CeraVe's benzoyl peroxide was was good for my face, didn't dry it out or irritate it

>>14314
i wish i could help out more, i have practically resigned to the fact i will always have breakouts because personally my acne is hormonal. it makes a huge difference in my life self esteem wise to be on the pill but i feel like it will never be worth it considering i haven't even been sexually active in almost three years. typically benzoyl treatments like >>14339 said. carbs and refined sugars are notoriously inflammatory, drink water, get a good nights rest. i am sure you have heard it all before! godspeed

I suffered from terrible migraines when I was on a low estrogen pill. I ended up getting the Nexplanon implant when I was 17 and I'm on my second one. I no longer have periods but I get phantom cramps from time to time. Honestly best decision I ever made

>>14376
>I no longer have periods
Wow, you're lucky. It made me bleed continuously for weeks until I just took it out. Sucks about the cramps though.

I got mine at 17. It was so embarrassing going to an all-girls high school and not getting it until so late compared to my classmates. Now I wish I didn't have it lmao, shit sucks

>>14337
…are you Japanese by any chance?

>>14337
I got mine when I was 15 and I thought I could run away from it untill my 20s. I wish I was you, when I started to menstruate my flow was so heavy as if it was pouring all the missed menses from the eyars I didn't had a period.

Stupid early. I have a very vivid memory of looking down on Ariel-print panties and seeing blood. Was 8 or 9. Tried putting in a tampon one (1) time, and have been on pads for 25 years.
>>14332
I'm also crazy jealous. Hitting puberty that early made me so bulliable. I was suddenly this gorilla in a sea of little humans. Some days I don't think I ever recovered from it.

Moved to >>>/nsfw/6466.

I pop my own pimples and it doesn’t make a difference in scarring for me. In fact, if I don’t pop some of them, they will turn into full-blown deep cysts and possibly spread and create more cysts.

I tried not popping pimples once and one of the pimples I didn't pop grew into the biggest and nastiest pimple I ever had and gave me an awful dark scar full of those little pits. After it popped, the stretched skin on the pimple remained loose and baggy for weeks, until it glued back into whatever is under it.
Amazingly, soon after a pimple just like it showed up on the other side of my face, and I didn't pop it, and the same thing happened again.

>>13099
I used to pop pimples on my ex bfs back. It hurt him alot but he liked it for some reason.

>>13099
>i. what does he mean by this?
it's "oddly satisfying"
>ii. is he right?
it is oddly satisfying but not good, leaves scars, and promotes the zit getting re-infected and having a worse pimple come up in the same spot

you're right, he should just leave them alone and maybe use a wash with benzoyl peroxide or something if he really has a problem with zits

I check my face carefully daily and squeeze spots as soon as I notice them, then put on acne patches to get the rest out if needed. I don’t see the advantage of letting the spot get bigger and more painful when it is going to burst anyway. It could have healed in the time you let it grow. And earlier squeezing means a smaller hole to heal.

The only ones I leave are cysts from eating foods I’m allergic to and that’s only because they aren’t fully formed yet. Once the pus is fully formed after a day or so, then I can squeeze it and it goes away. If I try to squeeze before that, it doesn’t go away and is more likely to leave a scar from all the squeezing skin damage.

Good channel for stretching routines.

Reviving this thread. How does one become more flexible and be able to do the splits (frontwards and sideways splits)

>>14278
get one of these

>>14279
thanks anon. what are they called so i can buy it online?

>>14280
Splits stretcher

I'm sure it's possible but it'll look really unnatural.

>>14230
Have you measured yourself using the r/abrathatfits guide? A true 36B is pretty rare. More likely you are a 32D at least. That's 2 cup sizes there, though probably 3. Next, go on birth control for a few months are you will get another cup to take you to about 32F. As for the remaining cups, you can either get implants (probably need about 800cc) or you can wait until you gradually increase with age or more rapidly with pregnancy.

>>14230
>36
You should consider losing weight instead anon. Implants have to be replaced anyways.

>>14230
is there any way to naturally increase breast size without the use of birth control?
