Re: Especially for women...
Okay this post has nothing to do with bras and guys brace yourself for a more intimate post; since it is called "especially for women" I thought Id share something which had been invaluable to me being a woman. So I went to an alternative boarding school in India and one of the things that I loved the most was the community amongst the women there and one thing I learned was that honey can really help with yeast infections or any mild types of discomforts, like itchiness or dryness. It has saved me couple of visits to the gynecologist.
You just pretty much apply it topically before you shower and leave it on for 5 minutes or so. Just make sure its organic and has no additives.
I'm not exactly yet sure why it works yet but its worked for me and many other women I know.
Just thought Id share and I'm really loving the energy in this thread and also the supportive remarks of all the guys that have left a comment! Its really great thank you for starting this thread.

Re: Especially for women...
Having nothing to do with bras, but as an addition to Satkirn's helpful post, since, as she said, this is a thread especially for us gals, I'd like to add a tea recipe for cystitis (aka: bladder infection).
You know you probably have a bladder infection when you have a constant ache in your lower abdomen, you feel like you have to pee very frequently, at the end of peeing it feels like a lance is piercing you, and sometimes the infection gets so bad that there's blood in your urine.
CYSTITIS HERBAL TEA
Boil 3 cups of water.
Turn down heat to simmer.
Add 1 Tablespoon echinacea.
Cover.
Simmer 20 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Add 1 1/2 tsps of Herb Mix:
Herb Mix:
1 1/2 teaspoons juniper berries
1 Tablespoon yarrow flowers
1 Tablespoon uva ursi
1 Tablespoon cornsilk (or 8 drops of cornsilk extract)
Stir.
Cover.
Let steep for 15 minutes.
Drink 1 cup each day for 10-14 days.
Pain will probably subside quickly (within two days), but you MUST
keep drinking the tea for 10-14 days in order to kill the infection.
This tea has worked for people (men, too) who had bladder infections for
as long as six months (!) and were getting nowhere with pharmaceuticals,
so don't despair. Try it!
Peace Love Joy & Harmony,
Genevieve

Re: Especially for women...
Howdy boys and girls! Thanks everyone for their contributions for natural remedies check out http://www.earthclinic.com/, gotta love that website! if the honey and herbal tea remedies are not on there yet, please add them there, I think they're valuable!
By the way, this is relevant for both men and women, check your shampoos, creams, conditioners, soaps and anything you apply to your skin/hair, it's not just cosmetics that have insane ingredients put into them. Take for example "sodium laureth sulfate", its a very common ingredient in skin/haircare products, and its very agressive to your body as well as a harmful pollutant for the surface water. What basically happens is, it completely degreases your skin and hair, and actually that grease forms a natural barrier to protect your skin and hair. So removing everything leaves your skin and hair vulnerable for damage and harmful substances, causing skin problems or long term health effects.
Some years ago I got off products with harsh substances and after a "detox" period where your skin and hair are a little bit more greasy than normal, the results are astounding. I first switched to organic soap-free shampoos, and now Im on conditioner only. My scalp used to be so greasy, now it's so balanced I only have to do a 'touch up' once a week, sometimes even longer, and my hair smells fresh all along. So the glands actually overproduce grease in reaction to all the harsh products (so if you have a problem with "greasy" hair/skin, it may actually be caused by dryness) And guess what, I only have to go to the hair dresser for split ends once every six months! Similar story as for my skin, I don't use any kind of soap, actually only creams to clean it, but usually it does not require even that, just water suffices (which also has to do with eating patterns of course). Also here, I used to have greasy skin and I've discovered it's actually on the dry side!
Ok, enough for my "amazing discoveries".
Just think about it. Another example: parabens, they can act as hormones in your body and mess up your reproductive system! All of this information and much more, supported by solid research, can be found in the skin deep website (see post 1). There are so many choice on the market, you don't have to put up with it!
As for the bra-cancer link, I think the observation made earlier by one of the blokes in relation to too tight underwear is valuable. I'd like to add another thought to that: the metal in the underwire acts as an antenna for radio-magnetic frequencies. The link between cancer and electro-magnetic frequencies, as well as other health-problems, is become ever-more convincing. So basically, you're amplifying the radiation close to your vital organs - heart and lungs! However way you want to put it, electromagnetic fields disturb the human body, as our bodies' cells as well as the earth, plant and wildlife use a low frequency to communicate...
Something that also crossed my mind:I saw it proven in a documentary how the 'normal' model bra shifts the burden to the shoulder/upper back area, instead of doing what it should be doing: evenly spreading pressure. A bra with crossed strapped does a better job at that. I don't remember if anything was said about wiring and I couldnt find the video anymore...

Excerpt from a documentary, this is sickening really, this is how young girls are convinced their vagina is abnormal. And excuse me, how does it lead to anything but sexual desentisation when you cut out part(s) that are thick with nerve-ends?

Re: Especially for women...
I realise this is a sensitive topic, yet I am going to state my bold opinion here noting that I don't mean to offend anyone: the trend in the above video, plus the pressure on women to have all their pubic hair removed, maybe even in combination with hormonal birth control, are tools to suppress the core of female power. Think about it, what is left when you slice inner lips and remove all the hair? The vagina of an 7-year old.
This is why I got furious when a member of the male species demanded in a slithery way that I should remove all of my hair there (which I found humiliating). No one gets any say over any of my hair but me. I'll decide if and when I shave/trim and what/where. Don't like it? Bugger off. He called this dictatorship! Since when is self-determination dictatorship?

This is also a good watch, the only thing I miss in this docu is the effect of surgery on sexual experience.

Re: Especially for women...
"honestly, I believe most women have such sheep-like mentality that they would wear a dead chicken and ostracise anyone that wouldn't. We've done crazier things than that: convincing women and young girls to have plastic surgery (breast augmentation, vaginal surgery, which is called vaginal rejuvenalisation, sickening really), female circumcision, bound feet, emaciation and other forms of self mutilation. It's the women that press these practices on from generation to generation,"
Don't forget the dead fox around the neck.....I am also blown away by the mega sized fake nails some woman are willing to put up with.I have worked with other nurses that wear these things and are probably harboring so much bacteria under them. Watching them try to do their jobs with these talon like extensions glued to the tips of their fingers is entertaining in a weird sort of way....anyway, this is a wonderful thread...the bra-cancer link makes so much sense....I love you all my sisters...take care.
