When I'm in between sizes I just go based off of the desired fit! Really whatever is most comfortable. With underwear, I would recommend going with the larger size.

Hi Kela, Healthcare, both for our physical and mental well being, can really be seen as a continuous process. Even if we aren't feeling "sick" at the moment, we still have to check in to maintain our general health. If some new things (and even old) have been coming up for you, it's still ...

Hi Merida, It looks like your questions have been taken care of so I'm just popping in to say hi! As Heather mentioned I had a difficult pregnancy, that became life threatening, and as a result my little girl was delivered at 29 weeks. Although it was an extremely scary time, I found comfort in talk...

No problem! Feel free to come back if there is anything else we can help you with.

Hi Nella666, Anytime you are having a constant and/or intense pain that you have not experienced before it is best to check in with a medical professional. Same goes with this kind of unexplained bleeding. I would recommend seeing a doctor regarding your symptoms. I also want to let you know, what y...

Hi Sca7313,

I started this thread to discuss why condoms aren't working for you and your partner. Can you tell me a little bit more about what's going on? This might be something we can help with.

no problem

Hi Princesspeach, Good luck with your meeting tomorrow!!! You sound extremely empathetic and supportive when it comes to your clients. I just want to remind you that you are deserving of that type of care as well! I know when we are working through difficult situations it can be hard not compare it ...

Sam mentioned the safety plan earlier as well as some additional steps you can take or help you be prepared. Actions you can take if you are in immediate danger. Keeping space by going to different rooms is definitely one of those measures. This might also include having a bag pack in case you need ...

Hi Naturalway, The condom is a very effective method when used correctly. But as Sam said in your other thread, what level of protection you need to feel comfortable is a decision that you and your partner have to make. If you aren't feeling all that great about it, it is perfectly fine and probably...

I'm sorry that you had to go through that. No, calling your grandmother a name does not give her the right to hit you. No one should be putting there hands on you, especially the people who are suppose to care for you. I know you have been brainstorming with others here about building and keep conne...

Hi Obihave, Sam is out until Wednesday and I'm jumping in because I didn't want your post to sit. I hope that's okay. Yes, having meaningful relationships, both romantic and sexual are possible, but from what you have said here, it sounds like addressing how you are feeling about yourself is the pri...

Hi Catsarecute, I hope you don't mind if I jump in :) Everything you said makes sense, but please correct me if I get anything wrong. It sounds like you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself to know right now! Which I could certainly see leading to a "wall" of sorts. I can understand w...

Hi No,

What you are describing doesn't sound uncommon. It takes some time for your body to adjust to birth control. If the bleeding is similar to a period or even if it is just spotting, it sounds like there is no cause for concern.

Hi Kitty, Ideally, your mom would listen and respect your choices! Unfortunately sometimes parents, possibly out of concern for safety and wellbeing, think they know what is best and try to will that onto you. Is this something you have to talk with her about? If she brought up the topic would you f...

Hi Iwanthelp, It sounds like you have been taking steps to limit contact with this person. Good for you! It can be difficult to end or change relationships that are not healthy for us, especially with a friend you have such a long history with. Really I would just encourage you to continue to build ...

Hey Naturegirl, If this is something you are trying to prevent, I would recommend trying a larger size and playing around with different fabrics. Tighter fitting clothing and materials such as spandex or nylon are definitely going to cling more than denim and cotton. With leggings and tighter pants,...

I don't think you are alone in this! I do think culturally we are moving in a direction where there is less of a stigma against casual sex, but I don't think this is a bad thing. I see it as a win if we can accept attitudes that allow more people to have the relationships and/or sex that they want. ...

Hi Rig476, I'm jumping in if you don't mind. Although I completely agree with Sam. Communication is key in any type of relationship! It sounds like you all have already set some boundaries for your relationship, but can I ask why you all don't use condoms? Feel free not to answer :) Can I also ask i...

Hi gcw_x, I don't blame you and I think it is good that you didn't take that advice. If I'm being honest I think you need to take it a step further and step away from sexual activities. You have said pretty clearly that you don't enjoy sex. It's not healthy for your relationship, or you personally, ...

Hi Dakota, Can you tell me more about what you mean when you say it wasn't comfortable for y'all? If you are talking about physical discomfort, this is something we might be able to help with. I would say that it is always "safer" to use condoms because they help provide protection against...

Hi Hopie, Would you feel comfortable reaching out to the school social worker? It sounds like you have done a great job advocating for yourself but you are still getting some pushback from your counselor and teacher. As Heather mentioned, it might be helpful to have a staff member who can coordinate...

Hi Rose, It is certainly scary to consider what will happen during a Trump presidency :( I haven't heard of any increased risk, but you can discuss this more with your doctor to help make the best decision for you considering your concerns about safety. If you are thinking about other long term meth...
