I think i have to find an Avenue... If only just for me. I used to ALWAYS make sure my bras and panties matched, and that I was always clean shaven. After a while you just get tired of doing it for...what? I know, I know I was supposedly doing it for me. But let's be honest here folks, I can't even see my hoohoodilly, so why would I care if it's perfectly shaved?

Perhaps I'll have to get back at it.

well...i think that naturally we have come to the next phase...

care and maintenence of our hoohoodillies.

weve started being naked and thats a good thing :) i love how it makes everything sensual, the brush of the bedsheets, breeze from the windows, love this one. so i think the next logical step has already been brought up (thanks sister faith lol) and

lets see how nice we can be to ourselves in this one.

Self Care and Maintenence:

what ways can we care and maintain our bodies that are pleasurable and make us feel more feminine? You know how it feels the day we shave our legs, maybe we can up the amount of times we do that? maybe treat ourselves to manicure/pedicure/waxing....

IN WHAT WAYS do you care and maintain yourself that make you feel more feminine that you can share with us to try????

im going to start out small. im shaving my legs today, and i MIGHT make an appointment to get a haircut and have my eyebrows done (i have the MOST monkeyed up eyebrows ever. they are put on backwards) and i will inquire about a pedicure....i...may address the hoohoodilly area while attending to the legs...

Hahaha It's a good thing that I am a reasonably good lookin' woman because I sure am one of the laziest ones when it comes to personal maintenance. When those heavy-browed women, Brook Shields (in The Blue Lagoon and that movie was made a long, long time ago), Margot and Mariel Hemingway became fashionable I immediately stopped grooming my own caterpillars and I have never, ever touched them since. :)

I have also never, ever had a professional manicure or pedicure, something that caused my niece to fall off her chair when she heard it. :faint: I do shave my pits and my legs and I do sometimes use an electric tweezers on my legs. During the Canadian winter the legs do get kinda hairy and because I am a blonde it looks like I am wearing golden angora knee socks. Ugh! And my feet look a little like Fred Flintstone's, I suspect. Double Ugh!! :omg:

My one experience with crotch grooming was a true disaster. I shaved myself as bald as a billiard ball for erotic reasons and then spent the following week tormented by severe itching. I became obsessed with finding out of the way places in order to scratch myself and spent plenty of time at work trying to unobtrusively hump the corner of my desk. And of course all stores have anti-theft mirrors. No chance to scratch the itch there. :girl_hug: My mother laughed herself sick when I told her. :heh:

Many, many years later I happened to be working with a guy who had worked as a male stripper. I told him the story. He told me that you are supposed to shave with the growth of the hair, not against, as I had done. He said: shaving against irritates the skin and gives you spots and if you have spots nobody gives you tips. Then he said: betcha never thought you'd never be discussing pubic grooming with a man, eh. :)

Other than the above, my grooming extends to bathing, wrinkle creme, mascara, home hair dye jobs, and the daily use of really good quality=expensive perfume. I am a serious fan of fine perfume. It not only makes you feel like more of a woman it also announces to everyone around you that you are a woman. :) Most of the best perfumes are French but Armani has a couple of good ones, I have found. I figure that those skipped manicures and pedicures have probably paid many times over for the perfumes.

I get my hair trimmed from time to time and I visit my dental hygienist 4 times a year because I have those kind of teeth. :tired

lol green...that is hilarious...I thought i would fall off my chair laughing at scratching and humping the desk!!!! That was great!!

About sleeping naked...DH and I have no problems in the bedroom area and I ALWAYS sleep with a nightgown on. ALWAYS...can't stand to feel naked and think what if a fire occurs during the night and I have to run out of house naked!!! EEEKKKKK!!! BUTTTTTTTTTTTT

last night it was so damn hot I thought..well, I am gonna try it again, put my nightie where I could grab it if necessary. Hubby was already long in bed and snoring when I went to bed. Several hours later I am awakened by nothing other than someone rubbing on me. Trying to get the hanky panky on. I am so tired I roll over and SOMEONE follows me across the bed!!!!LOL...the funnny part this morning hubby calls me and says..."hey, how come you didn't tell me you were going to bed naked, I woke up this morning and your boobies were all hanging out"...I said to him" This morning wasn't the FIRST time you noticed I was naked!!!"...I didn't even know what happened in the night!!! You girls really should try it....see if something comes "up"....lol....sorry....Deanna

You really don't know what you would do in a situation unless you really go through it and since we are individuals have various beliefs it is hard to say if anyone is right or wrong.

Losing, I just wanted to tell you have absolutely beautiful and happy you look!!! I was going to tell you that in the B&A thread but I was afraid it would get lost and you would never see it. The transformation that you have gone through it truly stunning. How do you see yourself now? Do you see a smaller version of yourself or are the thoughts still with you that you are bigger than you really are. I wondered about this a lot and wanted to ask you. BUT truly you look like a whole person again in the secong photo...that smile is to die for!!! Good job with all your hard work!! Deanna

Brazilian wax, well that isn't one for my list. Do men really like womens hoohoodillys bare???:rolleyes I can't imagine the pain that a treatment like that will inflict. :omg: I rarely shave my legs and underarms (don't need to). I do get my eye brows waxed and dyed routinely. I get my hair done routinely and pedicures severly times a year. I am in the public for work, so I try to look nice. My suitcase is half cosmetics and hair products etc. I am becoming high maintenace now that I am getting older. I will get a face lift once I lose my weight. I will not shy away from plastic surgery if needed (and believe me I will need it) I like perfume as well as long as it is subtle. Yes it is nice to be a woman but lots of work.

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
