Cervical Dysplasia

I discovered that I had cervical dysplasia after my second or third trip to the Gynecologist. My follow-up pap smear was also abnormal.  I have friends who have had to undergo biopsies after repeated abnormal pap smears, and I've heard a horror story or two about how painful it can be. Needless to say, I wanted to avoid that.  My sister told me that she read a few things online about natural remedies for cervical dysplasia, and I did some research for myself shortly after that. A lot of the blogs and articles that I found suggested discontinuing the use...

For those of you who didn't read my recent post concerning Brazilian waxes, I am/was considering trying  an at-home waxing kit. Fortunately, I found an old and mostly unused Intuition razor while packing up the toiletries in my bathroom cabinet. When I first bought it several months ago, I tried the intuition on my legs and wasn't super impressed. It did about as good of a job as the disposable razors that I typically use for my legs. I guess I didn't even bother trying it on any other areas. After rediscovering it and in an act of...

I've gotten a Brazilian wax before.  Honestly, I was more annoyed by how expensive it was (around sixty dollars after tip) than how much it hurt. Once the initial swelling and pain subsided, I was very happy with the results. It grew back much more slowly than I anticipated, and that's never a bad thing. It's about time I had it done again, and I've been toying with the idea of doing it myself. Is that ridiculous? Have I lost my mind? I think I need guidance. All I know is that I've got a new bikini and it's the...

Tampons are for suckaz.

DISCLAIMER: This entry discusses in detail the following- pads, tampons, my vagina, periods, period blood If any of these topics make you uncomfortable, then please read no further. Also, if you're a girl, why are you uncomfortable with periods? They're not going anywhere until you're about fifty. Deal with it. I once was a huge fan of tampons.  Sanitary Napkins (or pads, if you're not big into fancy talk) were basically diapers for adults in my eyes; I wanted no part of that.  Still, the idea of stuffing bleached cotton in my vagina did not sit well.  I eventually decided to make...
