Just like the title asks, has anyone used the helmet? I’ve been debating buying one. I’m currently on a spiro/ minoxidil combination pill and while it’s improved my shedding it’s done nothing for hair growth. I’ve been on it for 9 months now and was previously using foam minoxidil. I’ve also tried PRP and it did nothing. I was also considering buying a helmet because I’ve had paradoxical hypertrichosis using laser hair removal methods on other parts of my body. Thoughts?

I am getting so frustrated with the rules that my partner gives me when he is out running errands or doing his own thing. Multiple times a week, my partner (M, 32) has to leave and go to meetings and run errands so I am left responsible for his son (M- 10), my step son. These meetings last anywhere from 1-2 hours. For background, I’ve known my step son for basically his entire life.

He is 10 years old and my rule is that he has to stay home while his dad is away. This wasn’t always the case. He used to be able to go outside with friends until I found out that he was continuously lying about where he was and/or hanging out with. That, or he would have friends over in our yard and they would leave messes, act like fools (jumping off the deck), and or trying to break things. To add, the kids in this neighborhood are kids I do not trust at all. They are the kind of kids that will be involved in the criminal justice system at a young age or get a girl pregnant. So, because of this, I changed the rules because I cannot trust him.

Well, his dad would frequently call me while he was out and said “hey, he’s allowed to go outside while I’m gone”… but I don’t feel safe doing that because I feel I’m still technically responsible for him. He claims because he’s the father and “only a phone call away” that he is responsible.

Long story short, his son will bombard him while he’s out saying he’s “bored” and that it’s not fair that he can’t go outside and do anything. I feel like an hour isn’t long to be inside while his dad is away.

I also feel like he shouldn’t be putting rules on me since I am the one taking care of him. If I’m the one here it should be my rules. Im very frustrated. I feel like im constantly undermined. Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there a compromise?

Long story short, a customer purchased some on cloud women’s tennis shoes from me. I “sent them in” not thinking anything of it. A couple days later, I was cleaning the house and I realized that I sent the buyer a very similar pair of shoes but in a men’s size. I reached out to the buyer to let them know and encouraged them to open a case upon the item’s arrival. Well, it’s been about a week since the package has been delivered and the buyer is not responding to my messages and hasn’t opened a case up. Is there a period of time that Depop will automatically close this out? Or should I continue to reach out?

To add, both shoes are of similar value so I would not really be missing out on much. One is a women’s size 10 and the other is a men’s size 10. They’re nearly identical.

Hi! As everyone can see on my post history, I was really nervous about getting my upper lip done. But! I will say it felt no different to anywhere else on my face (she’s been working on my cheeks and side burns). She told me she turned the setting down as well. My appt was at 4:15 and this is what I did!

2:45- took 2 ibuprofens
3:15- took 2 more ibuprofens, put lidocaine on my top lip
3:45- put more lidocaine on my top lip
4:15 ish- appt starts and she put cream on my top lip and started elsewhere on my face. About 5 minutes later, she started on my top lip and it felt the same as it did elsewhere on my face. I didn’t shed a tear. Now, she did say that hair right below my nostril will be more painful, but we’ll start on those hairs next time.

100% doable. In addition, I also drank a lot of water all day and didn’t have any caffeine this week. I hope this can help other people!

This coming week, I’m going to get my upper lip hair done. I’ve been dreading it as I heard it can be very painful. Does anyone have any stories or experiences to share? Any tips to make the experience a little more bearable?

For context, I’ve been getting electrolysis since December ‘25 on my cheeks and sideburns. I go about every two weeks.
