Laundry and other adulting advice Anonymous 05/07/25 (Wed) 02:34:20 PM21763 [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?

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.

If it directly touches the parts of your body that aren't your arms or legs, then you don't wear it for more than a day.

Well yeah I didn't think I had to include a disclaimer for underwear/swimwear/socks.

Yes, but it includes tees, pajamas, hoodies (if you out them on without a shirt), and so on.

Wait are you supposed to wash undies on a hot sanitized setting separate from rest of clothes??

I just separate colours and black/white and do two loads once a week.

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 05/06/25 (Tue) 12:14:59 PM21758 [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.

Does anyone have any good white foundations? Anonymous 04/30/25 (Wed) 09:06:19 PM21742 [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 04/16/25 (Wed) 08:05:27 PM21662 [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?

There's a lot of resources on reddit about them. I have them too, it's okay and tbh I think they're more common than people would think.

Anonymous 04/29/25 (Tue) 01:52:47 AM21736

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

☆ On a weekly basis I like massage my body + scalp with oil. Coconut oil>>>
☆ Rn I don't own any massaging tools but I will buy maybe one if its on sale
☆ Tea tree oil for a smoother ass
☆ Thinking of buying soap made with goat milk

Is it normal to want a prosthetic in place of a healthy limb? Anonymous 06/24/24 (Mon) 08:11:57 PM20335 [Reply]

First time posting, probably messed something up, sorry if so.

Its not ‘from the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh it sickened me’, but more, i think i would look so fucking hot with an entire arm made out of hydraulic-mechanical type beast machinery. I feel as though that is how Im supposed to look. But yeah, i feel pretty disgusting thinking this given that people genuinely struggle with disabilities as a result of being an amputee.

Anonymous 07/04/24 (Thu) 01:52:00 PM20341

>supposed to look like
thats not normal but youre not alone. theres people out there with biidisorder who feel like that. they usually suppress the fantasy though so they dont end up cutting their arm off or gorging their eyes out.
having a cyborg arm would be cool but unless youre suparich youll end up with a plastic or wooden string stick with 1000x less functionality than your normal arm.

Well, it depends. You seem more like a 'robot arm cool' kinda Nona than 'I need this arm off of me now'
If it is the latter though, I'd say you've got Body Integrity Dysphoria. It's 'normal' in the same way that cancer is normal, in that it's humanly possible but not really good for you.

In all honesty though the real problem is when people want to cut the arms off of other people.

this is body integrity dysphoria,a normal person would just give themselves a mechanical exosuit
