Don’t worry. If you look around your house, you may see some common household items that will serve the same purpose. An added benefit? If you’re traveling over the holidays and staying at your parents’ or grandparents’ house, you can still bring the item with you and no one will be the wiser. Because what you don’t want is to be like my friend who brought her (big) dildo with her when she went to her mom’s house for a visit and hid it under the covers....
But as miserable as being a non-gestating bridesmaid can be, it’s nothing compared to the epic torment of being a pregnant bridesmaid. (Trust me, I’ve been there.)

A cold compress or washcloth on the area can help; so can a cool shower or bath, says Mia Finkelston, M.D., a board-certified family practitioner who specializes in dermatology at the online health consultation site LiveHealthOnline.com. The big mistake parents make? “They underestimate the amount of time to do this — some studies show that 20 minutes at a minimum and up to three hours of cool water exposure is best,” says Finkelston....

These tattoos can often help the women reclaim their bodies after a change as significant as introducing a tiny human to this world, which is quite a feat, by the way. C-section scar cover-up tats can help women commemorate and celebrate the journey of being pregnant. They can also be a celebration of the new role that’s simultaneously introduced into a woman’s life of now becoming a mother. In addition to that powerful meaning, the abdomen part of a woman’s body is truly beautiful....
That pretty much sums up how I felt when trying to decide whether or not it was time to surrender control of my precious baby over to another human being — other than immediate family, of course. And apparently fearing the babysitter isn’t a phenomenon that only happens to first-time moms. A good friend of mine just welcomed another little one into her family, and at 8 weeks, she’s definitely not ready to pass her off to someone else just yet....

After a particularly bad bout of picking, I decided to do some serious recon work. Last March, I decided to stop picking for good and, for the most part, have been pretty successful.

Seriously, a couple of well-placed tattoos will serve as a reminder to keep your hands away from the skin your art calls home....
We save our baby’s first receiving blankets, a favorite onesie or toy — material things. Why wouldn’t we want to save or memorialize our placenta in some way? Some may think eating the placenta is disgusting, but we drink milk that comes from a cow’s udder, meat from an animal’s insides, eggs that come from a chicken much like a woman births a child, and vegetables that grow in the earth amongst dirt and worms....

No, I’m talking about just the daily primping. The makeup, the lipstick, the hair, the Spanx. (Yes, ladies, we do know about Spanx.) Now I know guys are an incredibly visual species. Heck, the letters “T” and “A” would probably top most guys’ “Sexiest Things About Women” list. And as a guy, I can’t really argue with those. But there are plenty of other attractive attributes women have going for them....
Most St. Patrick’s Day tables are bound to include a scrumptious corned beef with cabbage, or maybe even a tasty Irish stew or shepherd’s pie.

As straight-size women, we should recognize that simply being straight-size comes with a certain set of privileges that not all women are privy to. But since most people aren’t aware of them, I’d like to call them out. Here are eight instances of thin privilege that straight-size people aren’t aware of. “Are you sure you want to eat that?““Wouldn’t you rather have an apple?““You’re getting seconds?” Thin women don’t hear those kinds of comments; at their worst, the comments we get are about eating more, and while that’s none of people’s business as well, they aren’t intended to shame the way comments directed at plus-size women are....
