Sometimes I get bleeding for 6 or more weeks due to medication I’m on.

I guess wearing pads for that long causes irritation in the skin. Are there any pads which won’t cause any irritation?

I use to use always pads and then switched to the tena pads which I think is meant for bladder issues.

I tend to need weak to extremely heavy flow pads. Mostly heavy flow.

I wear T-shirts but as I have broad shoulders so I often have to size up and the T-shirts look very baggy.

I usually wear wide leg trousers so the baggy T-shirt doesn’t look great.

Where can I find a good fitting v neck or scoop neck top either more fitted or the slinky material but comfortable and looks smart for work or going out.

Used to get m and s but find there sizing to be very small

I would like some that allow room for period bloating. Most have a very rigid waistband.

EDIT- suitable for medium-very heavy flow

Did anyone have any success. I'm based in the UK.

Any specific ones anyone has tried and found helpful? Or any alternative treatment recommendations?

Looking to find something to help for visceral hypersensitivity, feeling bloated, tight pelvic floor, general interoception. Frequent urination and urgency.

Mainly for the lower gut bloat sensation which is more a sensation I feel heightened rather than actual bloating. I'm sensitive to medications so can't take most.

Now that we’re hopefully past the worst of the hot weather, and I’ve seen it might be raining next week, I thought I’d start looking at coats over the next month or so.

I’ve had all my current winter coats for well over 6 years and they’re starting to fall apart, so I’m due some replacements!

Does anyone have recommendations for where to buy:

- a lightweight raincoat for warmer but wet weather

- a warm, waterproof/water-resistant winter coat that still looks fairly smart

- a nice/smart black wool coat

Happy to spend a bit more for something that will last.

Thanks!

I'm 28F and looking to get some trousers, blouses, dresses and shoes - at least enough for one or two interview outfits. Is it best to wear a blazer too?

I'm a software engineer but have interviews at corporate banks, so I'm not sure how formal I should be. Am I expected to wear heels? Or white trainer or flats/loafer ok?

Does anyone have recommendations for where to shop and what kind of clothes would be appropriate?

Any idea where to find loafers or flats for wide feet? But comfy?

Links or picture examples would be really helpful!

I’m 28F and since leaving uni I’ve found it quite hard to make new friends, especially as I don’t drink, so a lot of the usual pub/bar-based socialising isn’t really my thing.

Does anyone have recommendations for places, groups or activities where you’ve actually made friends in London, particularly people around their mid/late 20s to early 30s?

I know Meetup exists, but there are so many groups on there that I’m not really sure where to start. If anyone has specific Meetup groups they’ve had a good experience with, I’d love recommendations.

I was thinking about trying something like a pottery class, but I’m open to pretty much anything. I generally enjoy exploring new places, trying new activities, going for food/coffee, exhibitions, walks etc.

Also very open to suggestions outside of Meetup — classes, clubs, women’s groups, social events, volunteering or anything else that’s worked for you!

I’m a beginner and hear a lot about blocking. What really is this and do we do this with everything we make or just certain items?

Thanks!

I have sensitive skin so can only wear soft fabrics.

Where can I buy tie waist or elastic trousers suitable for work?

Also looking for maybe some dresses?

Any links would be appreciated please.

I usually wash and dry them straightaway and they get mouldy very quickly when before it would at least last a few days. Opened a packet today and some were already very mouldy they didn’t even look wet? It was probably the ones that were very soft.

This seems for happening with almost all the ones I have bought in the last couple of months.

Anyone else finding this? Anywhere else to buy from where they last longer and aren’t mouldy?

Medication and non medication ways.

Mainly non medicated.

I feel like there is pressure or bloat in my gut/lower abdomen but can’t see any visible distension

My stools seems to always be dry. I drink around 1-1.5lites water and sometimes less. I don’t ever feeling thirsty and probably need to increase this in summer.

Anything dietary or medication wise to help soften stools? Keep getting fissures or/and haemorrhoids which seem to spike with the heatwaves.

I don’t really get on too well with magrocol/movicol. I found kiwi helpful but it makes my throat burn. Glycerin suppositories can help but they started to irritate my gut a lot like taking a stimulant laxative which it didn’t do before.

How do I know is it a water problem or fiber problem or both?

I don’t like compression and have sensory issues. I use to wear the Reebok Alexa bra but thats not being sold anymore.

Any recommendations of what to try please? I have very sensitive skin and sensory issues so don’t wear bras generally but I could wear the Reebok one just fine. Perhaps low impact might be best or a crop top?

Sometimes especially in hot weather I use the same eyes drops and the inner corner of my eyes start burning when I put them in but I can use the same eye drops sometimes with no burning at all. They’re most likely to burn when I use eye drops before I sleep or the evening never usually burn/sting in the morning.

Any idea why this happens and what I can do to stop this. I have MGD and get IPL treatments every 6 months which have helped but still get the burning/stinging.

I started getting constant pain in my tailbone/coccyx which then turn into excruciating stabbing pain when I am about to have a bowel movement like when the stool is moving to my rectum and then once I have a bowel movement the stabbing pain stops but the dull pain stays.

Any idea what causing it and how to make it go away? Painkillers aren't really helping. I finished antibiotics and now I have to have a bowel moment atleast after every meal since my gut is irritated and each time I'll get the stabbing pain in my tailbone/ just above my rectum and now I'm scared to eat.

Any idea what causing it and how to make it go away? My GP can’t see me until next week and I’m stuck as painkillers aren’t really helping. I finished antibiotics and now I have to have a bowel moment atleast after every meal since my gut refers irritated and each time I’ll get the stabbing pain and now I’m scared to eat.

Which one is easier to swallow? I don’t really like the thick texture of it.

I was told to mix it with water. Is there a better way to have it?
