Safety razors for body hair — worth switching?

Hey everyone! I've been using regular disposable/cartridge razors forever and I'm thinking of switching to a safety razor for body hair. Honestly a big part of this is wanting to avoid the pink tax — women's razors are so overpriced for basically nothing extra, feels pointless to keep paying for it.

Before I invest, wanted to hear from anyone who's actually made the switch:

  • Have you used a safety razor? How was the learning curve?
  • Did you get a lot of cuts/nicks when you started, or does it get easier fast?
  • Which blades do you use, and how often do you replace them?
  • Any brands (razor + blades) you'd recommend for beginners in India — easy to find, good price point?
  • Does it actually last longer/save money compared to cartridge razors long term?
  • Any tips for underarms/bikini area specifically, since those spots feel trickier?

Also curious about a couple of alternatives I keep seeing ads for — the Luna razor and the Philips OneBlade Intimate trimmer. Has anyone tried either? Wondering if they're actually worth the price (₹1,900+ for the OneBlade) compared to just going the safety razor route.

Would love to hear real experiences before I buy one.

First Iphone Ever

I got this as a gift from my parents. I've wanted to own an iPhone since I was in 7th standard, now I'm going to be in my second year of college.

I've been needing a phone for the last two years, since my current phone was dying down pretty fast. I still can't believe they got me an iPhone, I'm more than grateful for their gift ❤️

Looking for contraception advice with PCOS + recommendations for a non-judgmental gynecologist in Delhi

Hi everyone, looking for some advice and hoping for a judgment-free space here!

My boyfriend and I are sexually active and currently rely on the pullout method, but I'd really like to explore more reliable contraception options for peace of mind. I'm tired of the monthly anxiety and constant pregnancy tests.

The complication is that I have PCOS and irregular periods, which I'm actively working on reversing. So I'd love to hear from others who have navigated contraception with PCOS — what worked for you? I'm open to learning about different options (pill, IUD, implant, etc.) and would especially love to hear experiences with hormonal vs non-hormonal methods when dealing with irregular cycles.

Please note: we've already considered condoms and they're not for us, so I'm specifically looking for other contraception methods!

I'm also looking for a non-judgmental gynecologist or sexual health clinic in Delhi. As a student, affordability matters, so any recommendations for NHS services or student-friendly clinics would be amazing.

Thanks in advance — really appreciate any advice or personal experiences! 💙

Made spider lilies

Yesterday, My bf and I completed 5 months together. I decided to make 5 spider lilies to represent our time together. It was my first time working with pipe cleaners or making anything handmade. Loved how it turned out!

Spider Lilies

I made 5 spider lilies for my bf for our 5th month anniversary.

I know the symbolic meaning of the lilies is somewhat related to separation but I still decided to go ahead because his favourite colour is red and these flowers look so stunning irl.

This was my first time ever making any craft or handmade item and working with pipe cleaners. It was pretty tedious and exhaustive for doing the same exact thing 5 times but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Lmk your thoughts!
