Its going to be hard to keep this "G" rated so I will let enquiring minds do some work!! This morning, I ran out of dialtion lube at the half dose level. It was going to be a couple hours before I could leave the house and get more, so I went on with my routine on the half tank of goo. What a change in sensation, but it was great!! WOW!! Not a bit of pain, and a new appreciation for healing nerves. Nice start to the day. It's my 4 month anniversary to boot.

Good for you, Vicky!

I've always recoiled at gooey things - and, even though KY is a nice sterile goo, it still is just that - ick!

My gyn suggested that I pay a visit to a local sex-toy shop for their lube. She said that it's much less goopy, more like natural stuff. I haven't worked up the nerve to try it, but do think about it frequently.

Love, Megan

Actually I get Wal Mart's house brand (Equate) in a pump bottle, and it is nowhere as messy as KY, and 1/3 the cost or less. Cost effectiveness is going up though with this discovery.

Do you have to use the Jelly or will the liquid work.. For other things I love the Liquid over the Jelly.. Much Slipperier. And I was going to start stocking up now so I don't have to worry about it later.

Are you talking about Astroglide? That stuff is amazingly slippery. You could smear it on your floors and ninjas wouldn't be able to get to you.

Both my surgeon (Marci Bowers) and gynecologist wanted me to use the gel kind for at least the first few months. I had had a yeast infection a week and a half after my surgery that made life additionally miserable for a week, and the gel type ingredients were the least likely to feed the little yeasty beasties per both doctors (who consulted via phone). I was especially warned NOT to use scented lubes or sensation lubes from an adult entertainment store until I was significantly healed. I had some well meaning, and reportedly experienced, friends recommend a plant oil, but it was only available in food grade here, and I lost my appetite for that idea when I saw the price. Other doctors have recommended using mineral oil, but I am fine using what I was prescribed. I may get adventurous in another month or two but thats a ways off.

This appears to have turned into one of those "slippery slope" discussions.

Just check with your surgeons on their time frames for using what for why.

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      I discovered her "Whipping Girl" when my egg first cracked.  It helped me understand some things.

      Good luck on selling your wife on the idea of a different car. This could be tougher than negotiating with a dealership.   My wife agreed to my taking profit out of the company to buy a used truck once we found out the 2014 F-250 I currently had with 267,244 miles on it was needing new torque converter solenoids and the DEF system is chocking up. We bought a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, Duramax 4X4, with 163,000 miles. LTZ Off Road package, power mirrors, chrome step boards, rear camera, exhaust brake, and air lift bags on the rear suspension. It belonged to a friend of mine who also owned a mobile training business.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      At the other end and in our favor is Julia Serano's analysis of the Cass Report Fiasco   https://juliaserano.medium.com/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the-perpetual-debate-over-gender-affirming-care-8f56d0c4d0c6   Serano is a Trans Woman and a molecular biologist herself, guess whose evaluation I honor.

      That's great @MaeBe hopefully the company will offer your wife a moving package with the new job position. That's how I was transferred from the St. Louis Metro area to the Indianapolis Metro area. The company covered all the moving expenses, as well as a three week stay in an extended living hotel while we chose an area to build our current home.   Good Luck and make it a happy adventure.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Birdie is the day care in charge of your MyChart, Hospital, and Doctors as to how you are cared for? There has to be some way to prove that you were born intersex and have a choice on your chosen pronouns. I wish we could do more for you. Keep pushing forward.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Appeals Court: State Health Ins Plans (Medicaid) Must Cover Trans Care

      The Republicans are not interested in compromising.  Johnson will be gone for compromising unless the Dems help him out.

      Appeals Court: State Health Ins Plans (Medicaid) Must Cover Trans Care

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Biden campaigned as the master negotiator, able to push legislation through Congress.   Whatever bill a Dem president, a Dem Senate, and a Rep House can agree on might be  more palatable than a bill with a R president, R Senate and R House given present attitudes. They are throwing away a chance.

      A bill like this would never get through congress, even if it were allowed to be voted on.

      Are VPNs banned?

      By Avra · Posted

      Ha, that's funny - I swear this is the one I used to use in high school to get around school blockers and play games. 😅🤦‍♀️   Though I'd be wary of using a free VPN today, if your only intent is bypassing censorship, I guess it works. Proton VPN also has a free tier with a limited selection of countries/servers. I feel more comfortable recommending them as they actively try to fight censorship with new evolving VPN protocols, and they protect your privacy. They are also directly funded by their paying customers. So there is really no downside to using their free tier over another free VPN that may not have the same goals/values.

      That sounds pretty accurate. I'm just glad I don't use Windows anymore, as I basically consider Windows itself a virus/malware. Backups can absolutely save you from some types of malware like ransomware. However it's ideal to just not get infected by having smart browsing habits. It's been said, and very accurately so, that the best antivirus is you - even the best antivirus isn't 100% accurate in detecting bad stuff, if you go out looking for that stuff or browse carelessly.   I guess if you don't care and/or don't have sensitive data on your PC, then that's fine I suppose. I personally care a lot - personal accounts, private messages, and even my very presence on this site aren't necessarily things I want to be public knowledge. 🤓🫠
