What is Ovarit's official position on the misuse of medical mental health terms to insult and describe people in negative ways in general? Like using words like " retarded ", " autistic " , " psychotic " etc to insult people and describe people in negative ways in general?
Personally I think it is wrong and unhealthy as it brings unnecessary stigma to people who are already suffering from conditions they did not choose and discourages people suffering from the conditions that these terms describe from seeking help due to fear of stigma...
Glad you're feeling more comfortable in your body! Over focusing on these minor annoyances or dislikes about ourselves is a waste of brain space.
I'm a lot closer to the left lol, but that's a problem with the cut of swimsuits and not my natural hair. I won't shave to fit a swimsuit, I'll buy a swimsuit that fits my body.
My swimsuits and bikinis cover more than usual because I never liked showing my body, but they are getting more difficult to find. I swear each year they are smaller 😕 hopefully mine will last long enough that by the time I need a new one it will have bounced back, as fashion tends to do
My biggest issue is always the width of the part between the legs. I would like to keep my labia inside my suit, thanks. 😂 I have had the same swimsuit for years and it's finally starting to wear down. My favorite cut are these kind of "boy short" styles or whatever they are called. I don't like a lot of fabric while swimming so I don't get the full shorts or trunks.
Oh, I love those actually! I'm not particularly modest and I don't mind a small bathing suit, but I don't find the cut of a lot of them flattering on my butt because so many bikini bottoms are just a triangle in the front and a triangle in the back, as if my butt is supposed to force this geometric shape into submission. I like ones that are shaped more like shorts because at least they're shaped like my body somehow.
One less minute obsessing about our bodies is one more minute of freedom, creativity, peace, joy and contentment.
As someone who looks like the left image, I can assure you it's not horrible & is actually kind of amazing.
I didn't mean to imply that, sorry if my wording did. What I meant is that my mind had exaggerated how much hair I thought I had when using bikinis that aren't even that skimpy. Rock that bush though!
Edit: but I definitely would have thought it was horrible as a teenager, at least on myself 😅
Bikinis are so strange. I quit wearing them years ago and people, including straight women???, talked about what a shame it is. I ended up getting a couple recently for a trip I was taking to a tropical place. I brought my one pieces as backup. Man, I felt so much more comfortable emotionally with my one pieces, but so much more comfortable physically in the bikini. With these heat waves it’s almost too hot for my 50s style one pieces. I wore it last to the neighborhood pool and man was I burning up until I got into the water. It was nice to have my belly out while on vacation 🤣
The shaving sucked. I’m not doing it again. I hadn’t shaved that area in years and bought all bathing suits that I don’t need to shave my pubic area for. I don’t think I’ll be wearing the bikinis again.
One last note the coverage options are absolutely laughable. Target’s idea of “full coverage” was still traditional bikini bottoms! Not what I mean when I ask for full coverage! We need more cute full coverage swimwear. Most of the cute stuff is way too skimpy for me!
I only own bikinis, since they're easier to change out of when wet or to use the restroom. but I sometimes wear swim trunks and a rash guard over it if I want to be more covered and/or don't feel like doing a full body sunscreen application. I consider the bikinis to offer reasonable coverage for my preferences and body, though I know that's kind of subjective and what I'm comfortable with wearing might be something another woman's idea of skimpy and too revealing for herself.
I am frustrated though with how tiny a lot of bikinis are nowadays, especially the bottoms that are just a couple inches away from being a thong. I don't want my whole butt out like that, thank you very much. Also how some bikini tops I saw at Target apparently don't have any removable lining in the cups, since I also don't want my nipples poking out for everyone else at the pool or beach to see. the whole point of the lining being removable is that the wearer can choose whether to use it or not. unlined bikini tops just aren't for me, even if other women might be comfortable with them.
When I was younger, naïve and wanting to please I had laser hair removal 'down there'.I always felt (kinda) awkward about it.
That part of my life is over (thank my recovered self-esteem) and I'm so pleased some (not all) of my pubic hair grew back.
Fucking men LOL
The art is cute! 😄 enjoy your swim!
Thank you! I just did it on my phone with a finger because I didn't know how to describe it properly lol
I wear the shorts type of swimsuit when I don’t get to swim naked. I’m not ashamed of my hair, but I don’t want to have to worry about how much of my groin is on display. I just want to swim.
