Girlies with revealing bikinis, paano niyo hinahandle shaving down there?

Girlies pls don’t judge HAHAHA 😭 I have a beach trip next month and kakarating lang nung bikinis na binili ko online. Sinukat ko sila and… girl 😭 kita na talaga yung pisngi + singit lines ko HAHAHA medyo revealing pala tong life choice ko.

Question lang, pano kayo nagsshave down there for beach trips? Like ilang days before niyo ginagawa? Kasi napansin ko sakin after 1 day parang nagbibilog na agad yung hair tapos namumula and sobrang kati 😭 parang may revenge yung balat ko after shaving.

For context din, hindi rin super smooth/makinis butt area ko—may acne scars and hyperpigmentation ako pero dedma, katawan naman to HAHAHA. Gusto ko lang maging comfy and less irritated during the trip 😭 Any tips? Shaving routine? Products? Or timing before the actual beach day?

Paano kayo nag peprep down there pag kita na ang pisngi at singit lines sa bikini? HAHAHAHA

Bumili ako ng generic cotton panty sa Lazada at di naman ako nangati. Kaso madaling nasira at nabutas. Bumili ako sa Tiktok twice na magkaiba. Ung isa dun Yasmine. Grabe nangati ako dun.

So ano kaya magandang panty na di ako mangangati? Ung generic panty sa Lazada kasi madaling magbutas kaya ayoko na dun.

Wasn't sure which flair to use!

I've been wanting to workout talaga as someone who's normal BMI but skinny-fat... I get so anxious thinking about ACTUALLY going and I'm also not comfortable around men talaga.

I know online workout videos exist but I don't have much space in my room + medyo conscious ako at home din ;;

I walk naman, just not consistently because I do freelancing illustrations majority of my day.

Hello guys! I met this guy and nasa getting to know stage na kmi. Ok nmn kmi so far pero last week lang he asked me a sensitive question. Ilang araw ko na din iniisip kung OA lng ba ako kasi parang naoff ako sa tanong niya.

He asked me if I'm still a virgin. We're both adults so baka nga normal conversation na lng dapat yon pero naiilang ako at iniisip ko kung ok lang ba yon or red flag na tlga?

Edit: I forgot to mention na I told him I don't like that question and he immediately apologized naman. Pero iniisip ko kung pinapalagpas ko lng ba ang red flags na sumisilip?

Why?

May mga view ba ibang tao sayo na immature ka kasi di ka pa nagkakarelationship?

My sister gained height in her 20s but we're not fam of matangkad.

Asking this because my career pathway has a height requirement. (2.54 cm na lang kulang)

If magiging sarcastic ka lang, don't waste ur time commenting. Thanks!

Here are some of the list of the bad things she did:

- She copied my whole identity.

-She gives motives and flirted with my crushes and the guys who liked me while she was still in a relationship.

- She created a dump account with my name on it and used my face as the profile picture. She had me blocked on that account and I didn’t get to confront her about it.

- She lied about many pathetic things.

-She wanted us both to take BSA, but I chose BS Psych instead; she then ghosted me and blamed me for having to take BSA alone at a shitty college. Both she and her grandfather talked down about my program, but later she told me she’s struggling with BSA and wants to shift to BS Psych at my university for her second year.

- She told me the reason why she didn’t contact me for over a month was because she suffered a miscarriage at 18 years old last year. But that could also be a lie.

- She constantly cheated on and physically assaulted her own boyfriend, but then posted lies online claiming he was the one who cheated.

- Last year, I invited all of my friends, including her, to our house to swim, and she brought her boyfriend with her, only for them to lock themselves in our bathroom for over an hour. She told me they were arguing, but I doubt it. She also told me they didn’t know how to use our shower when I offered to help her, she refused because she was too prideful that’s another hour just trying to figure out how the shower works. She ended up coming out looking bright red because she used the hot water.

- The final blow was her trying to escape her debt she kept making empty promises to pay me back, but never actually did. I had to call her grandfather just so she’ll return the money and he did. I silently cut her off after that but I didn’t block her yet only for her to block me first. The only reason we lasted this long was because I was very kind and forgiving.

Been cheated on 2 years ago. Long story short, May 25 magkasama sila nung time na yun sa Cebu, with his parents for business purpose yun pero sinama silang dalawa ng kuya nya and etong girl, model to sa business nila. Nahuli ko sa TikTok nag uusap, day 2 palang. So ayon, nag away kami paguwi, cinonfront ko, tinigilan nya. tapos may nalaman ako recently lang while deleting some files from my phone to free up storage. Kita ko sa files na may ka-secret convo sya sa IG from 2 different devices. One from his phone and one from iPhone 12 na IDK kung kanino. While tapos na yung away namin, di talaga ako maka get over sa usapan nila kasi deleted nga so Sept. 19 na-retrieve ko yung deleted convo nila. Then yung sa file naman na recently kong nakita about sa secret convo thingy sa IG, it says “Disconnection time September 25” naisip ko na did they keep going? Di ko alam pano sya ico-confront since 2 yrs ago na yun. Sobrang okay na kami ngayon, pero sa nalaman ko nago-overthink nanaman ako, napaparanoid na baka niloloko nanaman nya ko. PLEASE I JUST NEED ADVICE KUNG PANO SYA ICONFRONT. AYOKO MAKAKITA NG “DAPAT HINIWALAYAN MO NA” OR KUNG ANU ANO PANG SALITA NA GANYAN. THIS IS MY DECISION AND I NEED SOME RESPECT.

Random lang hehe

I noticed myself na nag glow up when we were in the ligawan stage and early pa ng relationship. Now parang bumabalik na uli ako sa normal kong itsura lol siguro not in the moment lang mag ayos recently.

But I know may mga nagsasabi na how your partner treats you reflects on how you look. May moments ba kayong ganyan?

Please I need reassurance 😭 I think I messed up. I live kind of far from my workplace and my partner's condo is nearer. We're both mid 20s so I think ok naman na yung age. I sleep over sometimes pero his parents don't know. This one time there was an important event I had to facilitate at work so I slept over his condo to make sure hindi ako malelate. His parents came by unexpectedly and he was shirtless and I was in his clothes. I think it left a bad impression on them. His parents and I aren't close yet. I've met them one time in passing (literally just said hi but had to go cause I had an emergency). That was the second time they've seen me. I'm just anxious na baka hindi na ako tanggap ng family niya. Family is big deal to me so I've been overthinking since.

They had an overall good impression of me at first because my partner tells them stories about me, how I'm hardworking, etc. This situation got me depressed cause I feel like I ruined things. How do I get back in their good graces 😭😭😭 huhu

as nbsb/ngsb trentahin, i developed this fear nung hs pa ako because nagkagusto ako sa crush kong valedictorian. his mom was very strict and successful in all aspect, lahat ba naman ng anak matatalino and graduated as cum laudes. so naisip ko na kung magjojowa ako i have to be something or someone just to prove my worth para walang masabi na i am lacking.

this fear got even more developed nung nalaman ko rin na hindi maganda trato ng in-laws ng ate ko sa kaniya. my ate was a good and responsible person, and really loved her husband. pinagsilbihan niya and even accepted 50/50 set up. pero even ganon, ginawa nilang alila ate ko while saying bad things to her. tapos may mababasa ako recently dito sa reddit na mga girlfriends na hindi tanggap ng parents ng boyfriends.

then just now, sunod sunod na wlw contents ang dumaan sa fyp ko about their partner's parents or fam na hindi payag sa relasyon nila kesyo nakakadiri at against kay Lord. may isang video rin na dinamay na ang pulis para lang paghiwalayin sila and comments sharing their experiences of not being accepted kahit na ilang taon na ang relasyon.

so divided na ang fear ko. fear ko kapag lalaki ang magiging partner ko ay baka hindi ako matanggap because i am not good enough sa anak nilang lalaki. and fear ko kapag babae kasi hindi tanggap due to religion and homophobia.

i know naman na it would come down to my partner kung ipaglalaban at pipiliin nila ako against their family but ayaw ko rin naman umabot sa point na ganon kasi family nila yun.

gusto ko lang humingi ng insights and know your experiences to lessen my fear. wala rin kasi akong mapagsabihan nito.

I’m F26, and I don’t really view love as a business deal, but more as a decision based on compatibility and factors rather than pure emotion. Not sure if this is a rant, a call for help, or maybe a mix of both? HAHAHA

I know I’m pretty. People have told me that a lot. I know I’m smart too, considering my GPA growing up. I have a career I genuinely love, an amazing support system from family and friends, hobbies I enjoy, and I actively do things that make me happy, so I don’t think self-love is the issue.

I guess the only thing “missing” is the relationship aspect. Whenever people ask why I don’t have a boyfriend, I usually just say I haven’t met someone I genuinely like yet. But honestly, it’s also because I don’t see relationships as necessary unless certain things align.

And maybe this is where the science brain kicks in. A lot of love honestly feels explainable to me. Attraction can be linked to biology and psychology, attachment styles shape how people behave in relationships, shared values affect long-term compatibility, and even lifestyle habits influence relationship satisfaction rates. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve over-rationalized love to the point where I struggle to see it as this magical, irrational thing people talk about. Like when people say “when you know, you know,” my brain immediately wants data, context, and variables lol

For me, attraction matters. If someone isn’t physically my type, I don’t really see the point in forcing it because it just feels icky. I tried dating someone who wasn’t my type once, and nope. The people who say “date someone outside your type” completely lied to me HAHAHA

Career fulfillment matters too. I dated someone who hated his job, and it felt like I was constantly absorbing existential crises I didn’t ask for. Unsurprisingly, we didn’t work out.

Family dynamics also matter to me. I once went on a date with someone who hated his family, and he kept questioning why I was so close with mine. That honestly felt bizarre to me.

So maybe I’m cynical when I say love doesn’t feel emotion-driven to me. It feels more like a combination of factors that either hit the mark or don’t. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I’m 36. Lol.

Just a question out of curiosity because I see people acting like a couple na pero walang label or a situationship na umaabot ng 5 years? Is that normal? What do you think?

Hi, girlies! Ano klase ng body shaper pwede isuot for a backless dress? Medyo conscious kasi ako sa dress ko since bakat kasi puson ko huhu

Mga ate, tita, tito, lahat na. MAHABA ‘TO.

Pagalitan nyo na ako please. Di na ako natutuwa sa sarili ko. To start, about to sa breast ko. Baka kilala na ko ng iba dito kaka post and kaka comment or even message ko sa iba. Gusto kong maghanap ng magpapagalit sakin kasi MONTHLY NA AKONG NAGPAPA-ULTRASOUND SA BREAST.

Sobrang tigas ng ulo ko, onting nararamdaman ko lang, nagpapacheck agad ako. Nag papa ultrasound ako. Last Feb, kaka-watch ko sa soc med, naisip ko magpa ultrasound.

Feb 2026, may nakita sa left breast ko. Sabi sa report, likely lipoma. Paguwi ko ng bahay, may nabasa ako na dapat daw, 5-7 days after ng mens yung ultrasound. Sabi ko shet, mali ako kasi 1st day ng mens ako nagpa ultrasound. Naghintay ako matapos mens ko, which is natapos na ng March. <Clinic 1> Birads 2 ako dito.

March (first week) - nagpa ultrasound ako, ibang clinic to. Sabi sa report, di nila na appreciate yung “lipoma”. So birads 1 ako. <Clinic 2>

March (second week) - may nakapa ako, pero dito grabe anxiety ko. Di ako mapakali, nagpa ultrasound ulit ako. Sabi nila, yung nakakapa ako is lymph node daw. Dun ako nagpa ultrasound kung saan ako nagpa ultrasound nung first week ng March <Clinic 2> Birads 2.

Same day nito, naghanap ako ng breast specialist at sakto, may malapit at may sched malapit dito sa <Clinic 2>, binigay ko yung resulta at di sha convinced sa lymph nodes. Pinakapa ko sakanya yung nakakapa nga daw nya. For my peace of mind, sabi nya “ipaulit naten, pero dito na sa ospital” <Hospital 1>. That day, nasalang din ako sa ultrasound. And I must say, HINALUKAY talaga nung rad tech yung breast ko. Ang saket talaga ng pagkaka ultrasound sakin. Dito nya nakita na may complicated cyst ako, at yung lipoma na nakita don sa <Clinic 1> ay nakita nya ulit. Ang term nila is “consistent with Fat Lobule”. Birads 2 ang binigay sakin at nakita ng breast specialist yung report, sabi nya sige “monitor tayo ng 6 months” okay.

April - ito na, dito na ako naging mas “mabantay” sa breast ko. Napapansin ko na lahat ng mga di ko napapansin dati, nakikita ko yung mga stretch marks, mga parang peklat, at sobrang takot ako. Sinubukan kong wag pansinin. Then one day, nagkaron ako ng pimple near areola, pinakita ko sa breast specialist na pinuntahan ko nung March, sabi nya “wala yan pimple lang” nag heal naman. Pero di ako mapakali kasi yung feeling ko may something sa pimple at ang nasa isip ko, kelangan ko ulit magpa ultrasound. Di ako mapakali talaga. Panay ang kapa ko sa breast ko, ARAW ARAW. Umiiyak ako habang kinakapa ko. Panay ang dasal ko na tanggalin yung takot ko. Hanggang sa last week ng April, di ako nakatiis, nagpa ultrasound ulit ako. <Clinic 3> This time may nakita sa right breast ko, pero sabi ng radiologist, benign looking naman. Birads 3 binigay nila. Sabi nya good for monitoring lang ulit. Bigla kong naisip, mali nanaman timing ng ultrasound ko kasi di ako nagkaron ng mens ng April. SO AGAIN, back to paranoid mode ako.

May - pinaulit ko ulit kasi nagkaron na ako. Same lang naman result nung April at Birads 3 pa din. Pinakuha din ako ng test for tumor marking. <Clinic 3>

Ngayon, habang tina-type ko to, di nanaman mapakali utak ko. Kasi kanina napansin ko may stretch mark nanaman sa right breast ko. Di talaga ako mapakali, kahit kanina, 2 doctor na pinuntahan ko, 2 silang nagsabi sakin na wag mag worry. For monitoring lang talaga.

Ang dami kong binago sa habit ko. Walking every morning, searching for supplements na okay for breast health, mga herbal. Tina-try kong magpaka healthy at kung kaya, mawala yung mga nakita sa breast ko. ANG HIRAP. Wala akong ibang mapagsabihan kasi ALAM KONG DI NA TO NORMAL. Pero naisip ko dito magsabi kasi baka mas okay na pagalitan ako ng ibang tao kesa ng mga taong kilala ko.
Nahihirapan ako. Gusto kong labanan tong takot ko. Ayokong magkasakit, ayokong ma-manifest to :(

PAGALITAN NYO KO!!

Plan ko kase magpawax kaso nahihiya ako kase may hemorrhoid ako though maliit pero natatakot ako na baka pagtawanan ako huhu.

29F here. Anyone here tried gluta push? Effective ba siya or mas better ang gluta drip? Naka-ilang session kayo to see the effects?

I’m fair skin already but olive tone so depende sa lighting ung puti ko 😭 inside medyo di ganon kaputi pero outside lalo na pag natatamaan ng araw is glowing naman. I want to have a consistent skin tone na maputi with indoor and outdoor lighting. I don’t aim for the paperwhite skin. Aiming for something na mukang glowing and youthful. I exercise regularly and follow a semi-strict diet (cal def and high protein).

Hi so I (24F) have a boyfriend (24M). We both just graduated last November and Im currently employed. My boyfriends family has a very successful business but he doesnt wanna work there in the future due to toxicity.

right now hes unemployed but is starting his own business (fashion and accessories). Mga 2 months pa lng niya stinastart. Nag babazaar sila (partner niya sa business isang friend namin na fashion student) minsan. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes it doesnt. typical startup struggles. Pero I truly think naman malaki potential ng business, need lang ng time and luck.

now the thing is im sort of extremely anxious for both of us. Kasi again we’re 24, lets say after a year the business doesnt do well. so at 25 siya mag stastart ng corporate work mismo.

we plan kasi sana na live in by 25-26 then married by like 30.

iniisip ko ung timeline if thats enough for us to save and have the future we dream of.

lifestylw kasi namin is sort of grand. Steak nights madalas, abroad together, etc. now that im working and hes doing business, lowkey lifestyle na muna siyempre to ipon and spend on necessities.

ive been thinking about this for a while talaga pero im not sure how to bring it up to him na parang hesitant ako sa business venture noya. Hes already pressures and anxious too and ayoko dumagdag.

talaga naman hes doing his all to make the business a success, d siya nagkukulang dun. Like i truly see how everything he does is mainly for me kaya naguguilty din ako na im anxious or doubtful. its just a matter of luck talaga esp in an oversaturated market.

i need advice huhu

edit; thanks sa mga nag rereply huhu. may history of anxiety din talaga ako kaya d ko matigil ung ganitong feelings

I (F) am dating this pansexual guy for quite some time now. He's the type of guy who leans on the feminine side and most of his experiences daw ay with men. So ako naman, nago-overthink na baka eventually, hindi kami magtagal at baka hanap-hanapin niya yung experience with guys. He's courting me rn and I got to admit that I'm slowly liking him, pero yung thought and fear na baka ipagpalit niya pa rin ako sa guys always crosses my mind. Now, I'm torn talaga. Hirap na hirap talaga ako and contradicting nararamdaman ko.

To the ladies who are dating, dated, or in a relationship with bisexual or pansexual guys, have you experienced the same thoughts and sentiments? How did you overcome these thoughts?
