[certifiedsexed]

I'm non binary and for years I struggled with intimate hygiene due to dysphoria. recently I found that using a washcloth with some intimate cleaning gel makes things much easier, and my question is if it's enough to keep a vulva clean and is it safe to use, granted I use a different one every time.

thanks for what you do!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "intimate cleaning gel", Anon. I can't tell you if your gel is safe to use when I don't know what gel you're using. Though I can say that if it's not irritating your vulva, it's not a lotion, it's not perfumed/scented, then it should be okay!

And using a washcloth is a great idea! That's very much safe, just make sure you're not scrubbing hard at yourself, as that can irritate your vulva.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions if this doesn't help as much as you needed. <3

bonus:

edit because people won’t shut up about it: yes floss your teeth at least once a day if you can, and wash off the toothbrush when you’re done brushing. ok? ok.

it's never too late to start brushing your teeth again. i basically never brushed my teeth for a whole 10 years. a decade. A DECADE. i still struggle to brush my teeth once a week, but it all started with brushing my teeth once every few months. so i mean it when i say brushing your teeth once a week, a month, a year, or even a decade, is better than nothing.

and still, nothing is not shameful. it is not immoral to struggle with self care. and it is also not pointless to keep trying. anything you can do, even if its wiping plaque off with a towel, is enough. it is good to take care of yourself however you can, even if it's just trying to muster the will to. reading this post is good, too.

i believe in you and i am proud of you, even in the smallest of steps. it's okay. you can give yourself grace.

easy hygiene tips ♡

to improve physical appearance , health and hygiene are a must.

water ♡

water. please , for the love of god , drink water. get up rn and go drink some water. water does so much , want clear skin? water. want to lose weight? water. want to feel more refreshed? water. ITS SO HELPFUL!! you really don't want to be dehydrated, it has so many negative effects.

i would aim for around 2 liters (8 full glasses) a day , but you can slowly increase your water intake over the span of a few weeks if you're not ready for that. if you like me and forget to drink , set alarms or reminders for when you need to.

apple cider vinegar ♡

okay , yes, it tastes gross, but it's so good for your PH!! just drink 2 teaspoons everyday (dilute with water first) , trust me it will make your body sweat and kitty smell (and taste) soo much better!! it can also help u lose weight , decrease waist size and is so good for your skin!!

easy oral hygiene ♡

brush your teeth at least 3 times a day. i normally opt for brushing my teeth twice in a row morning and night , and once during the day (yes , even if i'm at school). also , don't forget to floss!! most importantly u wanna b scraping/brushing your tongue, along with brushing your gums and the roof of your mouth!! If you're not brushing regularly and not brushing your tongue, your breath is gonna stink.

another tip - mints > gum. no matter how minty your gum is , if you're chewing it all day it's gonna make your breath smell bad. a sugar-free mint that specialises in good breath every morning helps so much for me.

shower/bath care ♡

please wash behind your ears and your belly button. every part of your body should be clean!!! you don't want build-up.

exfoliate before and after u shave. this will leave u feeling SO smooth and helps avoid razor bumps , if you have sensitive skin (like me) it can help avoid irritation (i get SO itchy and my skin gets covered in red bumps if i don't exfoliate when shaving). personally, i don't suffer from oily skin , but if u do, exfoliating afterwards helps remove any dirt from clogged pores and any residue build-up!

use different clothes depending on what part of your body you're cleaning!! use a softer cloth for your face and kitty , and use regular clothes for the main part of your body and bum. NEVER wash your face in the shower! you want your face to have its own personal time for you to clean it so you can really focus on it. also , hot water from the shower can damage your skin and make it dry. your shower head also probably has a lot of bacteria hiding in it, so please wash your face separately after your shower.

how to turn heads when you walk past people

⋆ ˚｡⋆ ♡ৎ ˚

I said it and I deliver! Today I'm going to teach you how to turn heads in public, we all need sometimes to feel like that hot chick from every 2000s movie /tv show, for example the girl from degrassi! So are you ready to become a next level of hot?

୨୧your hair୨୧

this is so important! Especially if you decide to wear a simple outfit, your hair it's going to become the key of your outfit! Of course you want the attention to be good, so go for more trendy style of something that makes you more exotic looking, I know it sounds ridiculous, but for example I attracted the most attention when I wore red curly hair, hair that are seen as more rare for people of your ethinicity are the ones that are going to get you the most attention!

୨୧your smell୨୧

When vision is not an option the Smell is the first thing that we notice(along side the sound), I suggest you to smell according to seasons and to use stuff that works great with your body chemistry

୨୧Fashion୨୧

You don't have to be all glam up, but a particular style indeed make's other turn around, find body fitting piece of clothing and accessories that increase your confidence, if you prefer a more baggy style, try to go for more graphic hoodies and particular pants(I have in mind the Trad goth aesthetic for some reasons)

୨୧your walk୨୧

Keep your back straight, walk like you know where you have to be, and make sure that you exude confidence while doing it!

Did you know: You can brush your teeth at any time of the day! Try brushing for 1 minute next time you're in the bathroom.

If showers are hard for you, try wiping your body down with baby wipes instead!

Dry hands every time you wash them? Apply extra lotion to your wrists and forearms. After washing, wet your wrists and rub the lotion down your hands! Pat dry.

In a pinch, a little Icy Hot can help ground you during an episode or meltdown. Apply a little to your arm and focus on the sensation

Dysmorphia, dysphoria, or self-esteem impairing your bodily hygiene? Try bathing in dim lighting (lights off might not be safe!) to impair your body issues back!

You're literally so cool (:

Struggling with oral hygiene because of spoons? Any little bit counts, even if you can't do the whole routine. Just swishing mouthwash or brushing without paste still helps!

Pro tip: everything is a stim tool. All you have to do is stim with it

Foster hydration by having a mini-fridge full of water next in your leisure area or bedroom. You can even add flavorings!

Did you know? The more similar to us we think someone is, the more we favor them-- You are psychologically predisposed to love yourself!

Biophilia refers to the natural affinity for... well... nature. Empirical data shows that humans fare better when exposed to imagery of nature. Harness these effects for yourself by opening windows or displaying rocks!

Noise-cancelling headphones are your best. friend.
