Personal Experience with Gentian Violet

[asunlitrose.livejournal.com]

Hello Vulva-Loving Superstars!

I've noticed that there aren't many (or any) personal experience posts about gentian violet treatments for yeast infections, so I thought I'd post mine. Enjoy!

P.S. The comments include some pictures that are not work safe, so be careful!

Hii I don't know what to put for the subjectttt!

I'm new on here, and I really don't know if I'm posting this in the right place or anything.. so I'm sorry if this comes up God knows where! eeek :( I have a few questions, haven't really spoken openly about this kinda thing before, it's just questions that fly around in my head unanswered and I know I sound really silly haha ummm delete the post if you like :) I just don't know where else I can ask these kinda things! You all seem nice and willing to help so :)

-I'm 17, a virgin, and never really had a relationship before :( so I haven't even had my first kiss or anything. how lame. only now I really like someone and I'm scaredddd lol worried. like, does kissing come naturally? should I know anything? Things there have now changed :D.

-I'm really not happy with my body. well, body hair. I do shave, underarms, bikini line and legs :) I like to feel girly. only I have dark hair on my arms (I don't shave them though!). not like, beastly! it's not thick, fine, but I hate it. am I the only girl with not so light haired arms? will it be a turn off to guys? I used to hide under jumpers especially at school, even in the hot summer 'cause I felt such* a freak. also, if I'm not completely hairless down there (lol) will that scare a guy off completely? And is there anything I should stay away from when washing there, like anything that'll irritate it? any advise on what I should use?

-And, although I'm really shy, I'm not too scared about sex. But it does worry me sometimes when I think about what my first time will be like, what if my vag is too small and he can't like, fit? :S I give you permission to laugh at my silliness :(

I'm really sorry if this is a crappy post! I have many more questions but I'll see how this post goes, how long it stays up before it's deleted or something haha. well, thankyou if you took time to read this :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hi everyone. its 3am and I can't sleep because I've been thinking about these 2 issues I have. maybe you guys can help...

1) for the past week and a half, the skin around my nipples has been kinda puffy. it's really weird to me. I showed my mom and she said it was normal...but I don't know. have any of you experienced this?
2) also, regarding my vag... sometimes I have this white, somewhat thick, discharge (?) on the outer area. it doesn't itch and I wouldn't even know if it was there if I didn't visually see it. however, it does have alittle bit of a scent. is this normal? what could this actually be? I'm definitely self-conscious about it and refuse to let any guy come near me down there till this is squared away. I've had a UTI and a bladder infection...but that was 2 years ago.

thanks you guys :):) also I don't know if this matters with either of them...but I am 18 years old.
I really appreciate any help you can give me

Diva Cup

[galeotti.livejournal.com]

So, I'm strongly considering investing in a Diva Cup.

A couple of questions!

1. I am a college student and I live in a dorm--as such, there will be a good number of people who will see my mail before I will, and since the mailboxes are small, packages must be picked up at the front desk. If I order a Diva Cup, will it come in an inconspicous package or will it be pretty obvious that "hey, it's a menstrual cup!"?

2. Is there any other effective way of cleaning/sterilizing the Diva Cup that does not involve boiling it? Again with the living in the dorm thing--if I wanted to boil it, I'd have to do it in the kitchenette, and I'd kind of like to avoid standing there with my Diva in a saucepot when the guys across the hall come in to microwave their Spaghetti-O's.

Thanks!
