whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I posted this upthread but that was def not my experience with Tricare. Fucking thing took five months to get, and once I had the appointment it was a month wait to get the insertion. I don’t understand how women can have the same things covered under their insurance and the experiences are so across…

Ugh, this is like a miracle to me. Getting mine was a five month fight and every lady I know who has one had to fight tooth and nail to get it. It’s bullshit.

I just got mine two weeks ago after at least four months of fighting with my insurance company. And my insurance company is Tricare. Because my husband is fucking active duty military.
I decided I wanted to get one while he was deployed, so I call up the doctor closes to my house (we’re 45 minutes drive from base) and…

Salon experiences-particularly wax mishaps

Urgh :/

I still get them but I’ve found that waxing makes them way less prevalent than they were when I was shaving da bush. I still get them, but they’re way more manageable now (and I def get a lot of pleasure from squeezing and plucking the bastards). I use a cream my waxing lady recommended that I can’t remember the name…

YUP. I remember when I started shaving my laydee bits everyone was like GO WITH THE GRAIN YOU WON’T GET RAZOR BURN and I tried it and lol. Nothing happened. I maybe got two of those fuckers and the rest just grimly hung on like the curly brown assholes they are. So then you go against the grain and realize, oh yeah,…

Yessssssssss Avant Gardener is STILL my song. She is the coolest.
I have nothing substantive to add, just an internet high-five for excellent music taste.

Well, yeah, the second time was really different (For many, many, many reasons, but one of them was the lost the vcard thing)

Well, I kind of take issue with the idea that vaginal tightness is SOLELY about men’s pleasure.

No, I don’t think there’s a physical difference, but I can see how phrasing it like that would give you some idea of what the tightness will be like. You’re probably right, there’s likely hardly any difference in those three ages but I can ~imagine~ what you mean if you phrase it like that versus in cm.

Well yeah, I totally agree it’s icky, I’m just making the argument that, despite its grossness, it’s an aid to understanding what it will feel like after the surgery is done. A diagram might work, but I don’t have any idea what the inside of mine looks like in terms of how tight it is. I dunno, like I said, I’m not…

Well, yeah, I’m not disagreeing with your point, but what other standard is there to use?

I mean it could also be like an aid to conceptualize what the ‘tightness’ level is. Like, obviously the actual ‘tightness’ measure is in cm, but if the doc asked me if I’d like ... i don’t know, 3cm, 5cm or 7cm, I’d have NO IDEA what he was talking about. I can understand (though I totally see the vom factor) the idea…

You and I have things in common I think. Though the Absurdity of Fjords sounds better than archipelagos...

I am so deeply repulsed by this and yet I can’t look away.

Well the whole point of him saying that isn’t to avoid having a conversation about it, but to let me take a breath and remember it’s not my husband’s fault that other men suck.
