How do I hide my stomach in a tight dress without wearing spanx or other shapewear?
Very tricky, I would prefer not to wear a tight dress if I had a tummy because it actually makes the tummy more noticeable. If you already have the dress I would wear just hi-rise underwear or pantyhose. They don't have to be shapewear and tight, they can really hide the tummy by flattening out any bulges. Some women wear hi waisted underwear and pantyhose for double flattening power. If the dress will allow it, you could wear a full slip or half slip to make things smooth.
How can I stop picking my lips?
I have big beautiful lips. But it's either due to a mild case of Obsessive Compulsive or anxiety that I constantly pick them. I have been extremely lucky that they have not scarred up but I know that if I continue this disgusting habit that it will no doubt in time, disfigure them. When I say that it's a mild case of Obsessive Compulsive, when I wear chapstick when I go to bed and wake up, if they are often dry and rough and I just go to town; showing little mercy. I have picked my lips so much that they will sometimes bleed and become very tender. I have used Chapstick, Aquafina, Blistex, Carmex, Nivea, protelum jelly to moisturize them and nothing has worked. I have used lip gloss and lipstick to keep me from picking them (because I am vain) as it'll mess up my makeup and it'll make a mess on my fingers. But nothing works. Please, may I have suggestions??
New to chest binding...?
Okay… So I’m gender fluid and recently I’ve been stuck in my “male” persona and I’m growing uncomfortable with my body. I try sports bras, but they don’t work very well. I’ve tried loosely binding my breasts but every time I slouch my stomach starts hurting and I feel uncomfortable. I’m overweight and such, but I’m trying to lose weight. I haven’t eaten anything and I’ve taken my medication. The bandages really don’t feel all that tight. Like, they’re tight enough to bind down the majority of my breasts (I didn’t have a long enough bandage to wrap around the top of my chest booo.) but loose enough so I can still easily breathe. I’m a musician, so I know how to breathe properly, and I have the proper lung capacity still to fill my diaphragm and play my flute. I do however feel the bandaging restricting the movement of my chest only slightly when I breathe and it takes a bit more effort, I don’t really mind though. It’s not too bad. Are there any risks to this? Am I doing it wrong? My breasts are starting to feel a bit achey but I don’t want to take the binding off because then I feel very uncomfortable with myself and want to hide, even if I’m wearing a baggy sweatshirt to cover myself. I can’t ask my parents for a compression shirt because they’ll ask why and I’m not ready to tell them. More like terrified they’ll kick me out. Ah, the South. Such a wonderful place for a genderqueer kid to live. TL;DR I don’t really have the faintest clue to what I’m doing with this. Am I binding my chest wrong? It’s uncomfortable on my upper stomach/lower ribs when I slouch, and my breasts are beginning to ache a bit. The thought of taking it off scares me. Also, does anyone know where I can get more bandaging that attaches to itself with Velcro? I hate the ace bandages that are sticky and always get folded and stuck together. The kind I’m using now is much more convenient. Any tips?
I hate my breast size; things I can do to reduce cup size?
I absolutely despise my boobs. I'm sixteen and a 34dd, and I'm super short (four foot eleven) which makes it even worse. I've been dancing since I was three and when I noticed I had bigger boobs than my teammates and even my instructor, I just wanted to die of embarrassment. They get in the way of dancing because the ideal dancer is flat chested and tall. Now they're an issue because I have junior prom coming up and I'm going to have to find a dress that conceals my disgusting chest. So basically, I was wondering if there are things I can do naturally to reduce my breast size? I'm not interested in breast reduction surgery. If I go on a diet and lose weight will my cup size drop? I just can't stand being the "girl with big ****" anymore =( everyone teases me and I want it to stop so badly
Fancy Guppy question?
It more than likely is pregnant. Female guppies are usually pregnant when you buy them from large chain stores like Petco/Petsmart. Even if a female is only exposed to a male once, the female can hold on to the sperm for months resulting in several births (usually 2-4) even if she is not with a male. It is pretty easy to tell the difference between a pregnant guppy and a sick/bloated guppy. Just look at them from the top: If you see scales popped out: Then your fish is sick and has Bloat. This is usually a fatal disease that is very difficult to cure but not impossible. Fish can get bloated due to very bad water conditions and/or from being overfed. If you look at her from the side and she looks squary( her stomach forms a square shape) then she is pregnant, her gravid spot will also be darker and if your guppy is dark then this method won't help. Your female guppy will also act differently. Her activity will slow down and might eat more. She may start becoming more shy as she gets closer to giving birth and may hide more often behind the filter or on the surface. When she is about to give birth she will breath very rapidly and will usually be on the surface. You did not specify how large your tank is or if there are more fish present. If she is the only one then you might not have to remove her when she gives birth, you can use the same tank as long as there is plenty of hiding places such as java moss, hornwort(floating and planted) and decorations. It is possible to raise fry within the same tank as the mother. I do it all the time with other livebearers. Just make sure there is plenty of places for them to hide. Or get a breeding net(they're better than the boxes) to protect the fry. a separate tank may be used if you have space as well.
