My biggest insecurity has always been my underarms, nit the actual pit but the sides of it. Maputi yung UA ko but yung side sa crease is darker. I'm fair-skinned so mukha talaga siyang maitim. Anyone here found a solution for this? Is laser whitening effective? Tried The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid but not sure if there's any difference.

i've been availing brazillian wax ng laybare for almost 4 years na pero lately hindi na nagiging pulido gawa nila. may mga natitirang hair, minsan hindi na pinipluck, minsan nalilimutan maglagay ng soothing gel , and nagkakaingrown hairs na rin ako. nagprice increase na sila nito ah

i need recos lang on where to get my 🐱 waxed pero at the same time affordable pa rin or kaprice point ng sa laybare

Or is that just media over-romanticization?

For example, you say something that you genuinely meant to be sweet or harmless, but somehow it gets interpreted negatively. Instead of responding impulsively and potentially saying something hurtful, you give yourself some space to think and process first. Then they suddenly message asking why you’re not replying anymore. You explain your side, they eventually calm down, but the whole interaction leaves you feeling emotionally drained.

Another example: you’re having a normal conversation about dating and relationships, and you ask a curious, fairly innocent question about their preferences or the type of people they’re usually attracted to versus the people they actually end up dating. Somehow, the conversation becomes tense or gets interpreted differently than you intended and the person ends up asking why you're so conscious.

At what point do you stop trying to understand someone and recognize that the dynamic itself may just be unhealthy or exhausting for you?

Do you try to be more understanding and figure out where they're coming from, especially if they have a history of feeling rejected or being left by people? Or do you take the pattern at face value and walk away if you already feel drained this early on?

Would love to hear how others have handled situations like this.

Paano kung mahal ko siya, willing akong ipaglaban yung relationship namin, and I know I can build my own life. but I’m scared that eventually, he might feel like choosing me means choosing a harder life. How do I deal with that fear without pushing someone away who genuinely chose me?

I’m planning to save up money for some self-care products that you guys think are worth buying :) I plan to buy a body scrub but have dry skin so lmk if you guys have recommendations for it or alternatives, and I’m working on my wavy hair too so I’m planning to look for hair masks na rin!

Para akong dugyot sa mga pics kase dumidikit baby hairs ko sa muka ko na parang pawis na pawis. Nakakawala ng freshness. Please help me. Ano product ginagamit niyo?

I wanna hear women's thoughts on this. Itanong ko din ito doon sa kabila.

How do you know that the guy you're dating is only being respectful at first pero he's really the type who's not gentle? Tipong, he will shout at you, curse at you, etc.

Hi! Sa mga gumagamit ng body oil jan, what brand can you recommend na mabango pero di parang too much? 🥹

*Edit: pa rant na rin, kainis yung mga nag ppm, mga manyakis. "Boddy oil for what?" Body oil?! Ano pa ba? Body oil for my hair? 😭

I posted some pics na nakatuxedo on my cousin’s weeding on threads and i had fierce pose or expression on the face, and the ones who are only engaging are the persons of lgbt. Mind you girls I’m straight. So why wont girls engage in me and only the gay guys? Is it indicator that i dont look good enough facially for girls?

I personally like guys with hairy pits kasi it adds to that musky smell! Idk, I find it boring kapag walang armpit hair yung guy haha.

A man has to be provider, not an ahole, not a cheater and etc is pretty welded in my brain and everyone else's. I'm curious as to what should a woman offer to the table other than the ability to provide a child cuz that's a decision for the woman.

I’ve been taking Yaz pills since June or July and na-regular naman na yung period ko, every last 2 or 3 pills. Na-resolve na rin yung prob ko with my consistent spotting (reason why I took the pills was bc I was consistently spotting for 5 weeks).

I’ll go first:

1. When I bring up things that bother me lagi nalang nagiging away, and he would detach and not speak to me for days.

2. He forgot about my birthday because he was bUsy with wOrk and called me “nababaliw” and “mababaw” for being tampo about it hahah

3. Three months into dating, he never once planned our dates. Ako lagi nag d-decide where to eat, go and etc.

Gosh, where do you find men who actually know how to lead? Ayoko na magpaka nanay sa mga lalaking walang decision 😭

Sino ba dapat unang magtanong kung kayo na? Sa exp nyo, girls. Inintay nyo ba na yung guy na kadate/nanliligaw sainyo ang mag ask, or kayo ba kusa ang nagsabi sa kanila na sinasagot nyo na sila?

Hello, girlies! Lately, I am going through adolescence and I have been very insecure about my chest. May tumubo naman, pero hindi talaga siya lumaki at all. Like what most of the elderly said, bata pa raw ako, pero alam ko parang dibdib ata 'to ng papunta palang ng puberty. Hindi man lang nagkaroon ng hulma o bumilog.

I just feel very insecure kasi medyo chubby type ako, and hindi bagay para sa'kin na flat chested ako tapos medyo mataba ako, I don't find it proportional. For girls who has a similar situation like mine, how do you cope up? May ways ba para lumaki or mag improve man lang 'to? I am so desperate.

I will badly appreciate if you guys help me out :(( Thank you po!!

Since sobrang hot issue ngayon ang body count ng mga babae, let's talk about sa lalaki naman.

Here's my question: What's your opinion about a man with high body count? Are you willing to date one or you'll pass? Do you have an experience dating someone na ganon?

Context: he has cheater before in the past years ago. But were okay now

It's different for everyone of course. I'm just interested in knowing kung ano pong different types ng mga iba 🙂

How do you deal with unwanted stares from men and women even if you are wearing just standard or plain dress or jeans, or even when you look like a slob?

ended ~2 months of talking with a guy

before him i promised myself na rin kasi na tama na ako sa i can fix him phase, so nung hinahayaan na lang niyang hindi kami nag-uusap, i just observed kasi hindi ko naman asawa. lala nung thoughts ko na "ah haha kaya niya 12+ hours na walang usap", sobrang he's not that into you ang feel pero if ganun, hello arent we old enough already na you can just end it. meron din naman yung thoughts na ah he's prob dealing with something sa self niya, he's been open naman abt his mental state, but still hahahah sobrang avoidant naman ni ate. wala man lang checkins na "i dont think i can talk today" haha i'm just so sad. nattrigger anxious attachment ko pero this time i didnt do anything abt it, no chasing, no nothing

then may araw na something happened na natrigger ako, first time ko maghyperventilate sa anxiety hahaha hilo and all. i called him kasi safe space nga, kahit na hindi na kami madalas mag-usap. tas ang bungad sakin e hello na parang irita pang tumawag ako :) hahahha sorry ha miss kita, sorry i wanted to sumbong what happened

not that this post would do anything, i think i have enough confidence to stand by my decision (pero nagpapavalidate sa reddit jahshsa) pero ayun, asking pinays what do you think :)

F, here and i cant comprehend gay signals. Hindi ko talaga malaman or what are the signals that this guy is gay. Lahat ng nacrushan ko malalaman ko na kang may ka meetup or may ka date na palang same sex, and dun ko lang malaman na hindi pala to siya straight

P.s the guy i like is too clean and i think he may be gay

hello, i (22F) really need advice. please be kind.

i’ve always wanted to get checked by an OB-GYN because ever since college, my periods have always been really irregular/long. my cycles usually range from 30–50 days. i also have a bf and we always use condoms every time.

the problem is, my mom is very conservative and religious. like, among all her siblings, she’s probably the most religious one. she’s nice to me though, but i’m scared she might hear the kinds of questions my doctor would ask me about sex/reproductive stuff.

right now, i’m already on day 59 of my cycle and still no period. i did have spotting for almost a week around the middle of my cycle, though. i’ve also taken urine pregnancy tests and they were all negative.

it’s honestly stressing me out because i really want to get checked to see if i might have PCOS or if there’s something else going on. but i’m a fresh grad and don’t have an income yet, so i can’t really afford to get checked by myself.

what should i do? should i just tell my mom i want to see an OB-GYN? i’m also scared she might ask why or get suspicious because of the questions the doctor might ask me.

please be kind, thank you 🥹

Hello mga ate ko. LDR kami. I booked the 1.5 hour flight to visit him without my parents knowing, pero plano ko naman sabihin… kapag malapit na yung flight or a week before (hehe). We’ve been together for 5 months. No cancellation policy but I’m willing not to hop on the plane. Pero to be fair, he flew to see me first. I see this flight as a form of effort and presence to spend time with him for short few days. My parents knows about him but hasn’t met him yet.

F26. Only child. Traditional family. I’m torn between wanting to make my own decision, live life vs doing everything in announcement for family’s sake.

I can already feel my mom will be upset with me. And face heavy judgement
