struck today that trans guys in the UK are being told 'you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of medicalisation!!!!!' by scandalised older women who bemoan their 'having breasts removed that have never known a lover's caress' (yes that's a direct quote, fuck you allison bailey).

But apparently birthing a child, which literally shrinks your grey matter and permanently alters your body - significantly effecting your quality of life with incontinence, hernias, loss of sexual function/sensation, not to mention depression and body dysmorphia as your entire body literally changes forever and you suddenly have a dependant human that will be with you for the rest of your life...that's just something you can do on a whim with no need for anyone else's input or approval. 'Oh you can just have the one' 'it's not that hard' 'yI know it was an accident, but you might as well keep it'.

Apparently AFAB bodies are only allowed to be permanently changed and 'medicalised' for the benefit of others - the production of children/new tax payers, and not for the actual person inhabiting them.

Like, AFAB people don't just owe the world their bodies for the pleasure of (predominantly) cis straight men. They also owe them their health and body functionality.

Terf rhetoric literally frames AFAB bodies as a community resource.

Terfs are inherently against bodily autonomy.

💙A General Guide to Taking Care of a Disabled Darling (From a Disabled Yandere)💙

Hiya everyone! I saw someone make a guide on this and wanted to add some more in depth detail as a disabled yandere so I can give you all the best advice on keeping and caring for your darling. Admittedly as someone who's disabled, nothing makes me want to be away from someone more than someone who is ableist so if you want to keep a darling with a disability it's best to be informed. I'm going to approach this as if you are in an active relationship with someone just because that's where a lot of my perspective comes from (as well as from the perspective of my personal disabilities) but if you all want any more advice please tell me! Anyways onto the list!

(Long post below)

1.) Research, research, research

If your darling tells you what specific conditions they deal with write it down. Remember it. Anything. And when you get a spare moment, I want you to pour yourself into research for that condition and generally how disabled people are treated. If you are an able-bodied yandere, you are not immune to ableism and that is the number one thing that will push your darling away. Learn everything you can about their condition. What may help one disability may hurt another. Also if you and your darling are on good terms don't be afraid to ask questions! Take note of what personally helps them. Good example, while hot water is known to help with joint pain and muscle aches it can be really bad for disabilities that cause light headedness and vertigo like POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) so knowing what you're dealing with can give you a leg up.

As a general note, try to avoid telling them to exercise, meditate, do yoga, go on a diet, etc. If that stuff could fix out conditions we already would have done it, and for certain conditions, it can make symptoms worse. Please listen to your darling on what they specifically need. Become an expert on every facet of them and their opinions on their disability. If you're reading this you're probably a yandere so it's not exactly like research is hard for us.

2.) Have supplies on hand

Being disabled and going anywhere usually requires some level of forethought, or effort. So try making it easier by having supplies on hand. Here's a list of stuff I keep on me at all times to aid with m disabilities when I'm out in the wild!

Pain meds of choice

Instant hot packs

Instant cold packs

Hot and cold pain cream (BIOFREEZE IS EXPENSIVE BUT IT WORKS SO WELL)

Electrolyte drink or drink mix with water

Compression items for different joints

Blood pressure reader of some kind (I use a fitbit tbh)

Headphones

Sunglasses (Sun is to bright, don't judge)

Fidget toys

My mobility aid

Now this is what I personally carry on myself. What you can carry for your darling is going to vary on who they are, where they stand in your life and what their disabilities are. (Note: If you know someone with POTS and they have a flare up, being able to provide an electrolyte drink during the episode may help get you on their good side, especially if they know you as someone they can rely on for that. Don't hold me to that advice all I know is I would probably marry someone if they did that for me lmao.)

Adjust to what they personally need. There's a lot of other items that could be useful to have on hand depending on what their disabilities are, such as different types of OTC meds you could grab, specific compression items, heart rate monitors, glucose monitors, vomit bags, incontinence products, if legal marijuana products, etc. It's all based on what they struggle with which is why step one is research. You can't build a medical supply kit if you don't know what you're trying to treat.

3.) Be their advocate

This is the me lecturing you about ableism section. Your darling whether physically or mentally disabled has to put up with a LOT of bullshit. Ableism is very deeply rooted in our society, so often you're gonna see your darling in certain situations. Strangers asking whats wrong with them, people claiming they don't have what they say they have, saying their faking for attention, saying they don't really need XYZ support item, etc. You need to learn to defend your darling the correct way.

It's going to vary from person to person, from situation to situation, but your best bet is shutting shit like that down. some stranger walks up to your wheelchair using yandere and asks what's wrong with them? Tell them your darlings medical history is none of their business. Someone says their lazy for using their supports? Stand up for them. Say they need these supports and being on a fair playing field with everyone else isn't lazy. At a doctor's appointment and your darling is AFAB and the doctor's trying to blow off their symptoms? Tell them what you've seen. Ask the doc what they would do if your darling wasn't AFAB. Tell them to mark lack of treatment in charts. Make the doctors cover their asses. You in these settings are your darling's biggest resource.

But also...

4.) Learn when to shut the fuck up. Don't put your foot in your mouth.

You (if you are an able bodied yandere, which is my target demographic with this) reading this, probably struggle a lot with being ableist and don't even realize. This is where listening to others is gonna win you a lot of brownie points. Sometimes, you need to advocate, sometimes, especially in disabled spaces with your darling, you need to learn to shut the fuck up and listen. It will usually benefit you greatly to not speak over your darling in these settings because it can give you a lot of useful info on how to deepen your relationship and also not be an ass to them. In the beginning, there's going to be times where you say hurtful shit. Move your pride to the side and apologize. You are not immune to having bigoted ideals. General rule of thumb, if your darling wants to speak first, let them, you can give input afterwards. And if they specifically tell you to shut up in a certain setting because you're talking over them, shut up.

5.) Okay now for the fun stuff. Love languages!

With people who struggle with disabilities, they may express their love languages in different ways. Acts of service may carry more weight if your darling really struggles with tasks. Quality time may matter more if they're bed ridden and bored out of their mind. Here is a very general guide of love language actions for disabled darlings.

Acts of Service:

Cleaning their room for them

Doing the dishes

Taking out trash

Doing their laundry

Making doctor's appointments for them

Taking them to and from doctor's appointments

Refilling and picking up their prescriptions

Quality Time:

If they're in a pain flare, keep them company, even if it's just napping with them!

Watch shows with them if they're struggling with doing anything that requires a lot of movement.

Run errands with them, so they can have help with difficult tasks like carrying heavy objects, or talking to customer service representatives.

If they're unable to leave the house but able to move a little bit, suggest video games, board games, or some fun low energy activity together

Go to doctor's appointments with them. Like be in the physical room. You'd be surprised how much it helps if your darling wants the assistance.

Words of Affirmation:

ENCOURAGE THEM

SERIOUSLY BEING DISABLED IS SO FUCKING HARD

THEY GOT OUT OF BED TODAY? PRAISE THEM!

THEY DECIDED TO MAKE A MEAL INSTEAD OF EATING ONLY DORITOS? PRAISE THEM!

EVERYTHING THEY DO REQUIRES MORE EFFORT THAN THE NORMAL HUMAN YOU BETTER FUCKING BE PRAISING THEM FOR THAT SHIT

Physical Touch:

Okay, gonna get the caveat out of the way, some conditions will cause physical touch to be painful. Find out from your darling if that's the case. Otherwise...

Does your darling struggle with hygiene? Do they trust you enough to be naked in front of you? Shower together. Not even in a horny way, taking showers while disabled fucking sucks man. Having someone to help me wash myself helps a lot. Bonus points if shower chair is involved.

Massages. If your loved one needs a lot of creams or ointments, put them on for them, work them in carefully. If they're more pain treatments, a deeper massage may also help work those knots out. Just be careful and be gentle and slow. Listen to your darling. Pay attention to their responses. Whether they're leaning into or away from how hard you're kneading. Just communicate clearly for this. Don't hurt them on accident

Cuddles. I'm gonna be blunt. Sometimes, your darling will end up stuck in bed barely able to do anything. Cuddle them. Being stuck is so much less lonely that way. Also bonus points for nap time being a quality time thing.

Help them with "intimate" tasks they may struggle with. Showering together goes in this category but for a broader purpose, this category exists. Once again this has to have that layer of trust, but this is things like helping them get dressed, helping them feed themselves, helping them brush their teeth or manage their hair (PLEASE DO RESEARCH ON THEIR HAIR TYPE FOR THIS).

Receiving Gifts:

Help them pay for medical supplies if you can afford it. It doesn't need to be a power chair. If you want to just buy someone some ibuprofen, or a heating pad, or just like... some small item that may help them, I promise you it will matter. If they mention running low on a critical medical supply that's OTC and you have the money for, just buy it for them.

Buying them things that can keep them entertained in bed or inside the house is also a really nice thoughtful item.

STREAMING SERVICES!!! IF YOU CAN PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION OF THEIR CHOICE TO ANY STREAMING SERVICE THEY WANT. GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO BINGE WATCH WITH YOU WHILE STUCK IN BED.

This one is a little more tailored to me, but if your darling is like me and appreciates monthly subscription boxes with surprise items in them, consider a "spoonie" or "chronic illness" box. They are usually pretty surface level stuff but the items in them tend to be nice and veer in the self care category so it's an option to consider.

Don't give them "Get well soon cards" unless you know FOR CERTAIN that whatever is plaguing them right now can actually get well soon. Most disabilities you can't recover from. There is no "get well soon" for most of us. Don't give us a reminder of that.

Anyways! That's my list. Feel free to add onto this if you all have any other ideas. If you're ableist in my notes, I freely block and report so don't test me.

Have a nice day!

(I didn't proofread this, please cut me some slack if this is all over the place)

not going to ask for your personal experience, because i respect your privacy & dont want any fetishists to be gross to or about you... but do you have any resources on what it's like to be incontinent/need incontinence products written by someone who actually uses them? im writing a character who uses them & i dont want to make any incorrect assumptions or accidentally include anything disrespectful.

i also understand if you simply ignore this ask, i know youve dealt with a lot of disgusting disrespectful people & i dont want to draw them to your blog just by mentioning incontinence. have a wonderful day (& enjoy your comfy chair when it arrives!)

I’m afraid I don’t have any resources to hand. I would recommend looking up different types of incontinence and considering the severity of a person’s incontinence. Having small leaks when you laugh or sneeze will be different experience from having your whole bladder empty completely. And bowel incontinence is different again.

I think sensitivity is important in how incontinence is written about. For me factual inaccuracy is much more forgivable than using incontinence as a shorthand for dependence, or to imply a person has a poor quality of life or is dirty/ unclean. It’s worth remembering that incontinence is part of everyday life for so many people and people often use the products that work for them and barely think twice about it.

My own experiences are below:

I experience what’s usually called “functional incontinence” which is where a person’s bladder is okay, but their disability prevents them from accessing a toilet on time. In my case that’s because of severe mobility impairment and a lack of (well maintained) changing places toilets, but it can also be because someone has cognitive issues which prevent them from being able to get to the toilet on time. When I’m at home I don’t need to use pads because I have quick access to all the equipment I need. But when I leave the house for any length of time I need to wear a pad (technically a nappy I guess but I prefer to call them pads) because when there’s no changing places toilet with working hoist and changing table my bladder will give in eventually. I also experience bowel incontinence if my gastrointestinal disorder is playing up and there’s no toilet I can use on time.

It’s more of an issue for me in the summer when I have to drink more water – even the best most absorbent pads can only hold so much. Using incontinence products means I can stay out more than a couple of hours but don’t mean I can stay out indefinitely unless there’s somewhere private with an adult changing table and hoist. Some people who need pads changing but not hoists might have to resort to lying on the bathroom floor which is pretty unpleasant.

Sitting in used pads for long periods of time isn’t advisable and can lead to moisture lesions, infections, make pressure sores more likely and other issues as well as being not nice. But lack of changing tables for adults mean that it’s a common experience for a lot of disabled people

I'm gonna share one of those tips you hear about, and practice for like 18 years, and then realize really helped you out.

Little baby me, years and years ago, when she first emerged from homeschooling and came across feminist thought for the first time*, found an article that told you to look in the mirror, naked and bare faced, and find something about your body that you liked. And make a daily practice of it.

See, the underlying thought is that we live in a society where lots of companies are competing for your money, and one of the ways they do it is by telling you your body has some flaw that you need to rid yourself of or disguise. Some chub, some off-white teeth, too much hair, too little hair, etc etc. Companies make you want their products by undermining your self-image and confidence. We are surrounded by advertisements that attack perfectly normal and healthy aspects of being alive.

That and really unhealthy and non-inclusive beauty standards.

Anyway, I started doing this in college, and I still flex in the mirror every night, because I love my arm muscles. Maybe you really like your eyeballs, or that one freckle, or your hair, or whatever. I really recommend finding at least something, daily, about your body that you appreciate. It's been great for my self esteem and relationship to my body and health.

Also, you'll buy less, which is fundamentally eco-friendly.

*mom did have one element of feminism, which was to never allow yourself to be financially dependant on a man if you can at all help it. However, she also had beliefs like (tw for misogyny and religious sexism) women are inherently less smart and less strong, women are bad at math, uteruses will fall out if you lift too much and you'll become incontinent, and a man should always lead the household. Etc.

[cnmcn]

I think we should normalize talking about periods but here's your tw in case you don't wanna hear me --

If you have hormone issues like me, i.e. PCOS, that cause your menstual cycle to be absolutley awful, like soaking a XXL pad through in a day bad, don't be afraid to use underwear style stuff like depends. They're usually marketed for menopause and incontinence in older women but they work great for blood as well and are way more secure than sticky pads since they're basically absorbent underwear.

I've had a lot less stains and nighttime slips since starting to use them and I really reccomend them. They work pretty well and alliveate the stress of checking constantly if I've bled through.

Don't let people sigmatize this kind of stuff especially when it can bring people peace of mind like that. And don't ever let someone give you shit for a product that makes your life easier.

Hi! I'm on anon because I'm a little shy. I'm 17 and struggle with incontinence. I relate to a lot of your posts because I am also autistic and incontinent and special needs. I haven't been able to use diapers in my teenage years, sadly. But I have some money right now and can buy my own first adult diapers. Do you have any suggestion for a first adult diaper? A particular brand or something like that? I have heard ABUniverse is good, but I don't have much experience with this and I don't want my experience with it too be a bad one. Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

Hi! I am glad to hear that you can relate to a lot of my posts.

You mention struggling with incontinence. Have you talked to a doctor just to rule out potential underlaying conditions? I understand how you feel about being super shy because I am super shy myself.

Once you ruled out any potential underlaying causes, if you want to wear adult diapers, there are an incredible selection of great products to consider, depending on what you are looking for in absorbency level, plain white or printed ones, and of course, budget.

Plain white: Northshore MegaMax, AM PM Forsite, NRU Str8up, Incontrol, ABU Simple are in my top suggestions. Abri-Form M4 (Medium) or L4 (Large) are affordable and remains a good classic, one generation behind the newest ones with better absorbency and refastenable tape zone.

If you prefer cloth-like diapers, they let the skin breathe more, but many brands have the same issue with the tendency for diapers and tapes to stretch out and make the diaper become loose and more exposed to leaks.

If you are looking for the RollsRoyce for absorbency, I suggest the Trest Elite diapers. They are the world’s most absorbing diapers without any booster pads or stuffers added. They are expensive, but they are lasting much longer, which means using half of the amount of diapers. At the end, they end up being less expensive than most brand. My only advice would be to always add baby powder in those, and not wear them for longer than 12h when wet because it gets hard in the skin, and it’s better to change frequently and keep a healthy skin with proper hygiene.

If you want printed diapers, all the ABU diapers are very good. Most Rearz ones too, NappiesRus (NRU), Northshore Megamax have cool colours too. Forsite is more affordable, but not easy to get in USA as I heard. My favourite ones might not be other’s favourites. But I personally love the Megamax, Rearz Safari and Alpaca, ABU PeekAbu, NRU str8up blue and lil rascals.

If you are looking for pharmacy diapers, they are not necessarily the cheapest due to the monopoly of Tena on the shelves, offering thin diapers that will suit persons with mild incontinence. Tena is offering much better products in Europe and Oceania than what we find here in North America. Pharmacy brands are generally not the latest generation of diapers. They are handy in case of emergency, far from the best. Tena Super is what seems to be their best, cloth-backed only. The Tena Maxi slip are much better, and they are generally not available in the pharmacies in North America, but they can be ordered online at some incontinence supplies stores.

I suggest that you order directly from companies instead of distributors and resellers for better price.

Today, the market of incontinence supplies and ABDL diapers is blooming! There are so many good diapers, I can’t mention all of them here.

I hope my advices will help you choose the right product that you will like, and will suit you well. At first, I would suggest that you buy samples to compare the fit and comfort because there are some differences from one brand to another.

How do you pack when traveling? How many diapers do you bring? What’s the longest trip you have packed diapers for?

Most of the time I bring diapers for the whole trip. I usually need 3-4 Tena Ultima per day, so I have a pretty big suitcase. That works for maximum around 2 weeks. When I went on a trip for longer I just took as many diapers as possible and bought more diapers at my destination. But how well that works really depends on the country you're traveling to. Some have an awesome selection in big supermarkets, Portugal for example, but others have barely any usable diaper brand.

Someone should create a diaper guide where you can check where diapers are sold in which country and which brands are available, that would be really helpful. Often it's not easy to find them, because stores not always list all their products on their websites. Also it depends on the country where they're sold, some countries sell diapers in supermarkets, others don't sell any incontinence products at all in supermarkets and diapers are pharmacy-only products.

[briarpatch-kids]

thank you for your post about incontinence. It's good to see it talked about normally instead of in a kink related or shaming way.

I'm glad I could help!! I deal with muscular weakness related incontinence, and wear depends because of that. Other people telling me "hey it's okay, I deal with the same problem" was sooooo huge in helping me cope with the transition. I want it to be normalized so more people don't have to live with the constant anxiety that a lot of people who don't use incontinence products but need them have.

[jeanjauthor]

...I just saw an ad for Depends for Men, and I just wanted to share how proud I am that we can finally talk about men having incontinence issues without shaming men.

Women...the pelvic muscles do get weakened over time. They get weakened from childbirth, and also from lack of orgasms (no, seriously, that is an issue; those suckers are kegel exercises when "done right"), and also just from age in general. We expect to hear about women needing Depends...and we hear about women needing them because "women are weak!"

So the lack of hearing about men needing them has long been a deliberate enforcement of the toxic masculinity idea that they don't need genuine help...and if they do, well, then "that man is too weak to be a man!" *eyeroll, heavysigh*

...Perhaps you can see why I'm excited to see an advertisement about a man being confident in an important moment (walking his daughter up the aisle on her wedding day), not having to worry about a little uncontrollable moment of bladder leakage staining his fancy wedding suit trousers.

This is an older man having the best day of his life, helping see his child get married and hopefully have her Happily Ever After, as he himself hopefully got to have one, too, presumably in marrying her mother. And he is seen as strong enough to use the protection needed to make sure the day isn't spoiled by embarrassment at...well..something that just happens as you get older.

Because those pelvic floor muscles are there in all humans, regardless of gender, and they do get weakened over time. Age does that to a person. And not only needing help, but using something to help? That is a source of strength in this moment, in this ad. It's not a source of shame, but a source of relief.

The ad especially didn't talk about how embarrassing things would be if he didn't use their product. it just talked about him having peace of mind on his daughter's big day.

It was an ad supportive of a genuine health issue that many men can and will face over the course of their lifetime, and I loved seeing it.

[oldmanpusspuss]

The local assisted living facility is offering paid CNA classes. Should I take them? I'm tired of working dead-end jobs that go nowhere (also, i'm insane). Honest opinion.

oh thats a difficult question. being a cna can be really hard. like, physically demanding (having to transfer/reposition patients, walking around a lot etc.), stressful (you're probably gonna be understaffed and even if you're not your coworkers might suck lol), gross (you'll have to deal with shit and piss, occasionally blood, etc.), you'll have a lot to do in a fairly short period of time which can be overwhelming at times. some of these things are jus the nature of the job, some are dependent on facility or even what shift you work. one thing for sure i would do is look into what employees at the facility have said about it. like i worked at a number different places when i was a cna and some were better than others but i had two experiences that were so bad i would never work there again. usually when you get paid training for cna stuff they expect you to work there so you wouldn't wanna get stuck somewhere that sucks for a while lol.

there are pros to being a cna though. it can genuinely be pretty rewarding. one thing i liked working in long term care vs. working in the ER is you can really build relationships with patients (though obviously another con is that makes it harder when they die). but also there are other opportunities outside of long term care, like working inpatient in a hospital like in med-surg/peds/icu/etc. or the ER or there are sometimes jobs in like clinics for cnas. usually they want you to have some sort of cna experience before they'd hire you. pay can be decent (it really depends where you work). most places offer you money if you wanna go back to school like if you wanted to be a nurse or medical assistant or something.

since you would be in an assisted living facility i can give you some idea of what the job would require:

if you're working days you'd spend the beginning of the shift helping the clients you're assigned to get dressed/ready for the day and then take them to breakfast. you'd probably have to help pass out meals and feed some clients. usually between meals there would be some sort of activity you'd help out with (a lot of times they have people specifically for activities but you'd need to at least help clients get to them). sometimes clients take naps at some point during the day (usually after lunch) so you'd help get them in bed/up from bed. most of the time you need to check on clients every couple hours (usually every 2 at a minimum but depends on the client) to see if they need the toilet / need their incontinence products changed. you'd have to help patients do baths or showers, i think usually that happens more in the evening. after dinner you'd help clients get ready for bed [<this was always the most stressful part to me because it's a lot to do in a couple hours]. in your down time you'd probably do some cleaning/laundry and charting (usually it's in the computer but some places still do paper charting lmaooo) which isn't hard but can be time consuming. I mostly worked nights so so that's what i'm much more experienced with. it's honestly way less work lmao. it's the same checking on patients every 2 hours or so. a lot more cleaning but usually it's just like, mopping or whatever. usually they expect you to get like 1-2 patients dressed for the morning.

all this also depends on facility. like the last assisted living i worked at had a memory care unit and i was bounced between working in either of those. memory care is obviously harder but i enjoyed it more for some reason. usually assisted living places don't have a nurse on location 24/7 (unlike a nursing home) so they'll have caregivers trained to pass meds and a lot of places have like 'lead' caregivers or whatever so there would be room for advancement there.

[padded-daydreams]

I wanna buy some always discreet pull-ups..can they hold accidents?

Short answer, no.

Long answer, I looked on the always discreet website and all I could find was some comments about there being "no leaks" and such, along with pictures showing how this product can barely be seen through pants while having maximum absorbency. This is a product that is meant for extremely light incontinence. According to an answer on this Target listing for a similar product from the same brand, the pull ups hold 20oz (barely 600ml which isn't much if you've seen my master lists).

In general, when it is really hard to find exact measurements for certain medical diapers, especially when they are advertised as being very thin and almost like underwear, assume that it is not going to hold much. A lot of these products are meant for extremely light incontinence. Like if someone can't control small leaks. If you want something that is going to hold anywhere near a full accident, you're going to want something around 3000ml+ depending on how much you're wetting in it.

Homework and Attendance Due 10/3 by 10 PM.

Homework:

I was born on April 25th, and I am a Taurus. My birthday buddies include Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, which suits me well because I love The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, and Home Alone. : )

Taurus is an earth sign associated with the color green and pink. "Taurus’ power colors are green and pink. Green is a calming and grounding color, while pink is associated with warmth and affection. Together, these colors express the qualities of Taurus that make them so dependable. Green is a color of growth and stability, symbolizing Taurus’ ability to stay focused and reach their goals. Pink is a color of love and compassion, representing Taurus’ ability to be supportive and understanding."-Horoscope.com Animal: My zodiac sign animal is the bull. It represents strength, dependability, loyalty, hard work, and gentleness with equal parts assertiveness. I learned we are a work hard, play hard sign, which is true as I love a productive work day, a challenging workout, and a glass of Pinot Noir. : )

I learned that Taurus is ruled under the planet of Venus and according to Bustle "Venus, the brightest planet in the sky, was first observed by telescope in 1610 by astronomer Galileo Galilei. His observations of Venus helped bring about the understanding that the planets orbited the Sun, not the other way around. In Roman mythology, Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, which is similar in astrology, where the planet rules over relationships, both romantic and platonic. “[Venus] urges us to unite and harmonize with others and maintain loyalties,” says Stardust." I strongly believe in loyalty and building meaningful relationships. Having been with my partner for 13 years, I appreciate the beauty of growing old together while still loving and accepting each other as we evolve and mature. The romantic cheeseball in me loves reality shows such as Love is Blind and The Bachelor, and I strongly appreciate beauty and aesthetics. Even as a child, I enjoyed collecting visually appealing items such as rocks. As an adult, my interests have expanded to collect things like tarot decks, hand written cards, organic perfumes, comfy pajamas, and lip liners lol. (Venus is depicted in this piece as a golden and brown orb-like shape) 

To celebrate the beauty of spring and the joys of spending time outdoors, I added leaves, tree images, and a lily to my design. Every day at lunchtime, I take my dogs for a walk on a trail with the most trees in my town. I have discovered that including a wooded experience in your daily routine can have numerous benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and improving overall mood.

Attendance:

"Recently it was revealed that products for women, from clothes to bike helmets to incontinence pads, routinely cost more than products for men and boys that are practically identical. " "The phenomenon has come to be known as the "pink tax." - Pg 117, The Secret Lives of Color

In this passage discussing the "pink tax," it is noted that a pack of disposable razors marketed toward men in blue costs $1.85, while the same style marketed toward women in pink costs $1.93. As I read through this, memories of my high school days working at Walgreens came back to me. Toiletries surrounded me, and I realized that women's razors cost more and had dull and low-quality blades. Hence, I switched to using men's razors.

In the 2010s, I felt limited to buying products that were marketed exclusively towards women. I appreciate how your generation prioritizes gender inclusivity, as it has had a beneficial impact on me as a millennial. Nowadays, people are moving towards buying products based on their effectiveness, without being constrained by societal gender norms.

I found a Woman's Day article released in 2015, a little bit ago, but not too long ago, titled, "9 Everyday Items That Are More Expensive for Women." It states, "Women spend $1,400 more than men per year for common items because of gender-based pricing." The list includes razors, underwear, tools, fragrances, shaving cream, long-sleeve t-shirts, body wash, socks, and deodorant. Fast forward to 2023, I can see why gender-neutral clothing is booming right now!!!!

Drainage Bags: These bags are used in conjunction with indwelling catheters to collect and store urine. They can be leg bags (worn on the leg) or larger overnight drainage bags.

Skin Care Products: These include cleansing wipes, moisturizers, and barrier creams, which help maintain skin hygiene and prevent irritation or infections caused by prolonged exposure to urine or feces.
