Vagina Question!



Recommended Posts

So I've always been a huge fan of baths! I can literally sit for hours reading in tub!

Now that I've lost a lot of weight I'm noticing strange thing...

After spending some time in my ridiculous garden tub when I go to get out of the Water there is a.... well a 'draining effect' if you follow my meaning... an amount of water dribbles out.

It never seemed to happen before I lost the weight. Is this a normal thing?

Its not bothersome... just another interesting thing to get used to.

My guess is that before, when you were heavier, your thighs and lady parts kept the Water out. Now that you have lost some weight...the water can sneak up there. I don't think it's anything to worry about. It happens to me when I swim all the time.

Living the dream,

Laura

Hmmm...Okay, resisting all urges for some crass humor...

I have lost 33 lbs., and I have noticed that my excess skin, er, holds more Water. Our folds are very susceptible to capillary action, which is when water flows up vertical surfaces or seems to be draw along a surface.

Our folds, especially when it is water form a tub or such (our folds are literally floating away from our bodies in the water) catch a lot of water, and that is what is probably happening to you. As long as it isn't discolored nor has any smells I would not be concerned.

With my newly increasing folds I dry, and dry again with a towel I have "treated" in zinc oxide. It helps a lot. I have started to take a small bit of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste along the inside of my folds (sorry being blunt but am I mentioning anything we all don’t have? lol). It prevents heat rashes, etc.

>>to treat a towel in zinc oxide, take an impermeable laundry bag or a cotton pillow case with a 900 thread count or so and out a plush towel and about a half cup of gold bond in the case, seal thoroughly. Run on medium heat for about 20 minutes. It saturates the towel and the medium heat fluffs the towel and allows for better saturation.

Avoid eyes with this towel!

Pookeyism, that's great advice about the zinc oxide treatment for the towel... I will definitely look this post up again if heat rashes become a problem (and I suspect they will).

Same thing happens to me. I wonder if it's because I rarely took baths before or because we have actually lost weight in our vagina as well leaving more room for Water to go....scary thought eh?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
