Ok the title does not even begin to describe this. I went back to using pads after 3 years of not needing anything (due to implanon). At first it was no issue. Then i used Always and i had mild irritation, but was ok. Then i picked up a new pack with scent, the scent was powerful enough to smell when opening the little package. I knew better, yeah I really did, but I didn't listen to my own misgivings and my normally sensitive skin has gone from irritated to raw.

I have ceased using pads, but i was wondering what i can do to ease and cure my skin problem. I have used warm compress and some rash cream so far.

Also cloth pads, where do i buy them? I am in England, and do they stain/ are they absorbant enough for heavy flows? What are your expriences? Do you get irritation whith them too?

Hello, superstars!

After recent posts about anatomy, I was reminded of this documentary, which I watched as part of my social work field placement at a local rape crisis centre.  We had a tremendous discussion about the material and I walked away emotional but also feeling very positive and loving about my vagina.  Even growing up in a sex positive home, I've still had qualms and worries about "down there" when entering relationships.

It's 58 minutes and free to stream online, and it's called The Perfect Vagina.  It's an exploration of women in the UK who are seeking to have plastic surgery on their vaginas, specifically their inner labia or to "restore virginity".

Warning:  NSFW - you will see multiple vaginas, including plastic surgery performed on one. 

I checked in with our VP mods and no one could recall seeing this posted.  I thought I'd share it and see what others felt about it. 

EDIT:  [livejournal.com profile] lilac_ribbon has pointed out a second link for us.

So a few days ago, I had an extremely painful moment during sex and started bleeding. This has never happened to me before, so I'm freaking out a little bit. I can't get in to see my gyno for a couple weeks, so I thought I'd ask you guys!

Has this happened to any of you before? Is it normal, or does it mean something's wrong? I've always had a little pain during sex, but never this bad, and never any bleeding.

About 8 months ago I had a bit of a problem "downstairs". I was bleeding when it wasn't my period so I went to get things checked. The doctor examined me and then took a sample to be test for abnormalities. It was quite uncomfortable and I felt really dizzy and experienced a type of "hot flash" during the procedure. From what I understood, there was some inflammation. When I went home I felt really dizzy and had a high fever during the night. After that I had a number of large sores just below my bottom lip and above my chin, but they went away after about a week and a half with no marks or scars. When the results came back I was told that I had something "like" chlamydia, but not. I am working in China and I don't speak fluent Chinese. My translator wasn't very forthcoming about details and all the test results were in Chinese.

The thing is, I used contraception, so I don't understand how I could've contracted a STI. The only thing I can think of is that my sexual partner was too rough (I do remember one incident where there was some pain), or maybe when he was touching me his fingers were too rough.

I used the medicine, but I didn't go back for a follow-up exam. The person who helped me last time isn't around anymore and I don't have anyone else I can trust to go with me. I haven't had any problems with bleeding or anything else, and I haven't been sexually active for about 5 months now.

Oh, also I had an ultrasound done and the doctor said that my uterus is smaller than average. What does that mean?

Is there any reason why I should be having period-like cramps in my third week of active HBC pills?

I had them yesterday and woke up with them again today.  I did just switch brands, but I'm one to only get cramps in the few hours before my period starts, which shouldn't be until next week.

Hello!

I hope this is appropriate for the community.  I'm sure there are Francophones among us here, and it's hard to find resources in French on the internet.

Does anyone have any suggestions for books on women's health in French?  (I've been asked to review some, but I'm having a hard time finding any.)  The more recent the better.  I'd be interested in hearing about any books, even if you didn't like it.  (I find often when looking for something like this on the internet, all it takes is a couple of suggestions for me to stumble upon lots of other ones.)

Thank you!

I can't seem to find a trustworthy answer on the internet for this question. 
Has anyone else found that some well endowed men are just too big for them?
I slept with this guy last night who was pretty well endowed, and found that it quite hurt when he was fully inside me. My exboyfriend was really well endowed too, and I had the same problem for the entire 2 years of our relationship. He was my first sexual partner, I had attributed the painful sex to a (then unknown) latex sensitivity. I haven't had many sexual partners (last night makes 4) but other than mr. last night and the ex boyfriend, they've all been average/smaller than average and everything's been fine.
Additionally, last night was the end of a few months dry spell, and I'm wondering if maybe that's a factor... The second time was a lot better than the first, but still painful. But I'm a pretty small girl, and I'm a bit nervous that maybe my lady bits are undersized? I've heard of that happening with teenagers who haven't finished growing, but I'm 20. Should I go to the gyno maybe? Or are some penises just "too big?" If that's the truth, it's devastating. Any help would be appreciated! 

Edit:

It's not a stretching/tearing pain, I'll assume it's hitting my cervix since it's a deeper pain. It is also significantly worse during doggy style/other deep penetration positions. I do have a vibrator that is significantly smaller than my current partner, and I have no problems that. Thanks for all the help everyone, you've been lovely!
