There is this really terrible, incorrect, and even dangerous list going around.
Do not listen to it, do not reblog it! It is very wrong and the “advice” listed here can cause serious problems.
Baby wipes are not necessary at all for your hygiene. While not as bad as most products, being used “every time” will definitely cause some damage. Your genitals maintain a specific environment of bacteria and a specific pH balance, and hygiene products will disrupt these balances and increase your risk of infection and other health issues. This includes baby wipes. All you need to clean your genitals is either rinsing with hot (not boiling) water or wiping with a clean rag with hot water.
We do need water, but it’s also possible to hurt yourself by drinking too much, so take care to watch what you’re getting. As a side note, choose your water source carefully.
Grapefruit is known to interfere with MANY medications, and that includes birth control if you have certain medical conditions, as well as other hormonal medication/treatments. Citrus fruits (pineapples!) are a concern in general but in most cases are considered not significant enough to cause issue - so ask your doctor if increasing citrus is okay. (Also remember that eating too much citrus fruits can cause burns and other bad reactions, especially on your tongue.) These fruits are generally suggested based on the belief of changing your vagina to be more palatable. They are only suggested as home remedies/homeopathic for vaginal health. Besides yogurt and other probiotic foods, these foods have no medical backing as improving vaginal health and hygiene.
Don’t exfoliate your mucus membranes. Be careful exfoliating this area in general because this skin is far, far more sensitive. It is important to keep clean here especially when shaving, but you have to remember where we’re at.
DO NOT USE UNDILUTED TEA TREE OIL ON BARE SKIN, ESPECIALLY GENITAL SKIN. It will hurt, it will rash, and you may even end up with burns. Don’t use essential oils in general on your skin.
Moisturizing is important when shaving. It reduces the risk of shaving rash, itching, burning, and ingrown hairs to keep moisturized before and after you shave this area. But please, do not use these oils!! Even plain water by itself can be good enough - sit in the tub while shaving! Check out our #shaving tag for REAL, healthy shaving tips!
Yes, take your vitamins, but be aware of what ones you need and how you need them. It’s just in general a good idea for your health. But it’s not imperative or required!
This is almost as bad as the suggestion to use tea tree oil. Do NOT use soap on your genitals!! Even soaps “for” your genitals are terrible. Again, the genitals have a delicate nature that should not be disturbed. Genital hygiene products are made with the idea that the vagina is gross by default! It’s not about being healthy, it’s about reaching an unrealistic and incorrect beauty standard. Only use soap that your doctor prescribes you.
In fact, this list reeks to the stars of adhering to aesthetic expectations. Soaps, fruits, oils, baby wipes - this list looks like something pulled out of a magazine for making your vagina sparkle and smell good, rather than work well and stay healthy; many of the things on this list are typically suggested to “combat”/alter vaginal smell, taste, and lubricant/discharge production (yes, including the foods). I have yet to see a health professional or organization that wasn’t affiliated with or quoted by a “feminine hygiene” company that endorsed the use of these things, baby wipes included.
Please combat this post when you see it!
Hi, guys. I have a pretty decent amount of followers on here, and I wanted to ask you for help.
This is Jeff, my sister’s rabbit. She got him as a baby about 7 years ago, and this has been his life ever since. I hate that it’s taken me this long to do something about it, but every time I bring up the fact that this is neglect and cruelty, my sister gets offended and angry, and my parents usually take her side. I’m not here enough to ensure he always gets the proper care, and I desperately want to find someone who will take care of him properly.
She doesn’t mean to be cruel, but my sister sees Jeff as more of a burden than anything. His cage goes weeks between cleanings, he never gets any exercise, and she often forgets to give him fresh food and water. I try to make up for it when I’m here, but I know it isn’t enough.
I’m looking for someone who will give him the love and care he deserves. He’s sweet and gentle, though I’m not sure how he will interact with other rabbits, since he’s been alone his entire life.
I know that this is technically stealing, but it’s for good reason. My sister would never agree to it if I told her directly, so it’s better I do this when she isn’t around. If you are in or around the Savannah, GA area, please message me. I just want to get him to a good home before it’s too late.
PLEASE READ
I made a post about a week ago about 4 cats who need a home, one of the cats is staying with her original owner. So these three boys are left.
NOTE: the cat in the first photo in the cat carrier has a forever home
First Photo:
Chub Chub is a long haired orange/white cat. He has a lot of mats that I couldn’t brush out.
He’s very vocal and very friendly
He doesn’t like to use the litterbox though, he also lives with 5 other cats right now and they all share one litter box. I don’t know if this is a medical issue or a temperment issue.
I’ve had very limited contact with him along with all the other cats.
2nd Photo:
This is Henry, he’s very shy and likes to hide under furniture. He has no problems using a litterbox and is very sweet but extremly timid.
3rd Photo:
Oreo, he’s one of the Maine Coons I mentioned, he has long dark fur and is almost completly matted. I’ve told my friend he needs to see a professional groomer to remove the mats. Like Chub Chub, he doesn’t like to use the litterbox.
Note: Chub Chub and Oreo do use a litterbox but only if it’s completely clean
If you are someone you know lives in Richmon Virginia or the surrounding areas please ask around so these cats can have the happy home they deserve.
As people have requested. A more comprehensive description of the man who I am disgusted to admit I know.
I’m sure those in cosplay groups and those who had attended LFCC know of an incident involving a group of Gotham Sirens cosplayers. During a photo opp this man took the opportunity to grope a cosplayer to whom he was sharing a photo with. Naturally the next day the police where called and he was arrested. Currently he is facing a court date.
However, while he is now banned from attending all Showmasters events in the UK, there are still some conventions he is still able to attend. And while we can’t ban him, I feel it’s my duty to let other female cosplays around the Uk know of this man and arm themselves with the knowledge that he should be avoided.
80% of black gay men have experienced racism on the gay scene.
