Most CPR manikins don’t have breasts, which contributes towards women being less likely to receive life-saving first aid from bystanders, a study has found. The study led by Dr Rebecca Szabo, the lead of the Gandel Simulation Service at the Royal Women’s hospital in Melbourne, analysed all manikin

I sometimes get bad or sharp cramps, bloating, soreness, and my friend bought be a bottle of these pms gummies. She gets bad cramps too and she says that they help her a lot. These are supposed to help with PMS symptoms and periods. They have good reviews online. I even took them with me to my docto

"It’s a mantra we internalise from an early age: tick-tock, tick-tock, time’s running out, you’re not getting any younger, must get pregnant by the age of 30, etc etc. There is no doubt, though, that the average age at which women are having children has been steadily rising for years". "It’s part

A Melbourne public hospital has become one of the first in the country to offer women Penthrox, commonly known as the green whistle, for painful IUD procedures. Frankston Hospital, which is run by Peninsula Health, began trialling the pain relief option a few months ago and is now offering it to e

This is driving me up the wall. Women's shoes seem to all be uncomfortable. They're just so goddam narrow! If you get wide fit, they no longer fit on the heel. I have normal feet but these shoes are all crushing my toes, causing me pain in my feet and knee. I don't know much about support so that ma

I'm seeking your best resources (free and paid) from single, child-free women. A lot of FDS-style discourse seems specifically targeted at women who may be those things now, but in the future wish to be booed up with kids. Love is great, but I'm really focused on my own journey right now and do n

You can learn so much about yourself by your triggers. For me, I noticed that I always felt a burning envy towards women who I felt were more talented than me. But when I got to the core of it, I wasn't exactly mad they were better than me at something. I was jealous of the fact they got to do som

Within the last 5-10 years, endometriosis has finally begun to inch into the spotlight as a pressing full-body disease, largely thanks to the work of patient advocates and global awareness campaigns. We’ve seen national action plans developed, an increase in research output, the development of essen

(Note: I previously wrote this post about some level-ups since my breakup.) It has been one year since my last relationship with a man that ended in an emotionally violent break-up. I metabolized the actual end very quickly, but then got very critical with myself about sharing myself with this pers

I have two bad habits I need to kick. 1. Not getting up early because I stayed up late the night before. I'm a freelancer and I have a lot of freedom in when I work. I need 8.5 hours sleep, so my ideal bedtime is in bed 11:30, asleep by midnight. But I often find myself staying up till 1am on my

1. Your worth as a person is not tied to your attractiveness. 2. Learn the difference between being lonely and being alone. 3. Boundaries are not meant to be broken or stepped on. They are meant to be respected. 4. You are never too old to learn a new hobby, read that one book, go back to school

Some disclaimers before I begin: • I was diagnosed with C-PTSD and PMDD and know that weed helps some fellow sufferers; • This is NOT a cannabis demonization post (really). I quit cannabis this year. I was never "hooked"; it first started as something social, special, even rare. I don't have an add

Peace comes when you realize that many people aren't very wise, mature or evolved. And they're just not your problem! Peace comes when you realize that enablers, the toxic, and the PickMe party people deny reality and project their fantasies onto others.  Everyone is projecting 24/7! We can challe

Medical research has shortchanged women for decades. This is particularly true of older women, leaving physicians without critically important information about how to best manage their health. Late last year, the Biden administration promised to address this problem with a new effort called the Wh

I have mixed feelings about today. Yes its my birthday and I should be grateful to see another year. There are people who unfortunately don't make it this far. I feel this way because I'm not where I want to be at this stage in my life. I always thought I would have a place of my own and have a part

I just saw more of her art in a link on my X/Twitter page. https://parentztalk.com/about-women-lainey-molnar-th/? I'm very happy to see the empowered messages she's sending! A breathe of fresh air. Source: https://www.instagram.com/lainey.molnar/?hl=en

Hi everyone! 👋 As we're getting closer to Christmas I really need something warm. I also need these for work haha. Have any of you seen a pair of leggings that have all this list? 1. Pockets 2. Sherpa or fleece lined 3. Under $50 (if it's a pack then that's okay) I'd also appreciate recommend

And even now you can still see the male supremacy in this. I rember watching a video about how male artists only draw women in sexy designs completely ignoring our diverse body types. If you look closer, the men all have varied body structures. Not the women though, they all have a porn-y hourglass

Writing this cause I saw a post in a mental health subreddit of someone saying that they dated a guy that was already married which children. The man ghosted them when the op didn't want a threesome. The op then said that they knew it was wrong but they did it because they were lonely and felt lik

I was thinking about how feminine spirituality was always quickly denounced as satanic and evil (hence the witch trials). Especially by Abrahamic religions. Women really can't have our own spaces without scrotes trying to scrote up the place. I was sad to see that the *creator* of Dianic Wicca, Zs

For the past few years, it seemed like I was in this pattern of being with guys who did not want to be in relationships, but they still kept me around, and it hurt. It was always me who initiated leaving since they were too much of a coward and immature. I had a thought today... There are men tha

Most fashion brands sell women's clothes with the first purpose of them being to be sexy. Tight, revealing, cropped here or cut out there, using flimsy materials that are virtually see-through. Jeans that fit on your waist then squeeze the crap out of your butt, even though they're made of denim and

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K_JB6XhNya8&t=709s Do you all think that the "Fat Acceptance Community" has gone too far? We see it all the time now that you can be healthy at every size. Personally, I don't belive that. I found this video from Blair White. Yes, you should be comfortable in your b

Hi all, I've been experiencing heavy periods for the past few years and when I went to the doctor about this they did some tests and said I just got bad luck when I comes to periods and the other thing they could give me would be to put me on the pill or to get an iud. I was sitting at my desk watch

"Life is still going to be as good, even if you're unmarried. Marriage is just an institution and you can choose not believe in it, like religion. There's nothing wrong with not conforming to the idea of marriage if you don't believe in it." -Miss Fayes World. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=33Z4VTDW

Title says it all. I know about the regular old hot water rubber thingies but what specific one says hot the longest? I know that there's this one company that makes an electrical heating thing you put on your stomach but I can't find the name after a lot of searching. I remember it had these cotton

This is a bit random, but thought this was a good place to ask! About a year ago, I had three months of the worst periods I have ever had. I was in so much pain and felt so sick for days each time. Then they just got better and have been totally normal since then. It just occurred to me that this wa

Choking is when you have broccoli stuck in your throat and “breath play” is a term that gaslights women (and society) into redefining strangulation as a kink. Strangulation is a crime. Strangulation is domestic violence. Strangulation results in femicide —the murder of women because they are women.
