"Girlie Secrets" - Questions only Women Can Answer

a trainer?

a triple A?

i was just in the preteen undie section at Penny's .... boy they are sooo cute.. too sexy, but really cute.. All we had was white.

I always thought the purpose of a slip was to cover up for clothing that was too see-through.  The half slip is great for wearing skirts.  So yes....I know what it is but having problems finding the words to describe it.

This is a great thread! We cross such a wide range of ages, I think some of the questions may be more familiar to some than others (I loved 'Are you there God, It's me Margaret'). The smell of Prell totally takes me back to childhood! I twisted my apple stem to find out who I would marry...also did jump rope the same way.  FYI: the drawer where they keep the speculum at my gyno is heated, so they don't run it under water.

Now, not having had a period for several months, I thought of something that guys definitely wouldn't know: that we (at least I) keep two types of underwear for use, depending on the time of the month!  The ugly, stained ones, and the pretty, unstained ones.  I don't know if it's worthy of the quiz, but certainly girlie knowledge (and perhaps too much information for the guys!)

I will also count this as one of those 'silver linings' of chemical-induced menopause...I can safely wear pretty underwear ANY day of the month!

Pettipants are like half slips, only with legs.....

I wear them in the summertime under dresses, so that my big fat thighs don't rub together.

When your acrylic nails grow out, you need FILLS!!!!

The gross part is when you get a fungus underneath one of them.

Never heard of petipants before . Thx for the pic

yes, I have several necklaces with that type of clasp.  Never knew the name but it fits!

how about: what's the last name shared by these three men?  Jack, David, and Shaun

I would have to say either a hair clip or an earring.

Windlass

I had acrylic nail ONCE.  What I really hated the most is when they start to grow out and the adhesive starts to unbond where your real nail is is the dirt that becomes trapped in there particularly if I was eating messy finger food.  Grossed me out.  I had them filled once then when it was needing done again I had the nail tech remove them.  That was enough for me.

How did your mom ( or whoever) tell you the facts of life?

I remember my mom sitting down with me and she drew a pencil drawing of a male member and a little hole... i got so grossed out I had to go puke.

My mother never told me anything. She left a booklet lying around about getting periods but that was all.

apple - nice new pic!  My mom purchased a kit from Kotex for a girl's first period.  It had supplies (pads and a belt - this was before peel & stick products) and a pamphlet.  I still remember how embarrassed she was about the whole thing.

Facts of life movie - we also got that but in gym class.  The boys were in one room and the girls were in another.  No one talked about it so it wasn't until years later, we discovered we'd seen the same flick.

Blessings, you are on the right track.  Middleschmertz is what the women in my family called the pain in the middle of your cycle when the egg burst out of the fallopian tube.

I can't think of any questions right now, so have a good day ladies!
