shave your vagina... some tips!
Vagina Shaving is really a serious thing because it is a very sensitive area and any mistake could lead to extensive bleeding. It takes a lot of carefulness to perform vagina shaving. The vaginal area becomes ultra sensitive, just before, during and after the menstrual cycle. So, it is better to perform vagina shaving after the periods for this area.
Women often seriously injured themselves while shaving vagina shaving when they are not fully awake. Many women do it while standing in the tub or taking a shower with one leg up, with taking support of
something not slipper. Some women use a toilet seat. It is easy to reach all of vagina and it makes the shaving easy.
Before the shaving, the hairs should be trimmed down to stubble using a scissors or a hair trimmer. This will show the shaving progress clearly and also the hairs will not stick in the razor.
Shaving should not be done with dry hairs. As the skin cells are dead on dry skin. They just scrap into the hair follicles at the time of shaving. It is really a worse combination as dry hair is tough and pubic hair is coarse, which makes the shaving impossible. The hairs will break more often at the time of shaving. It causes severs skin irritations.
A long hot shower or bath can be taken. A moisturizer should be applied to open the skin pores. The moisturizer should be remained on the hairs and skin for several minutes. Hairs down there are coarser, it will make the shaving easy.
A new blade should only be used with a good quality razor.
The shaving should be performed in the direction the hair growth. It should be started at the back of the vagina, first the sides should be done and then the front. After removing the bulk, shaving should be performed against the hair growth. This gives very close and clean vagina shave.
Too much pressure should not be applied on the razor and also repeated strokes should be avoided on the same area.
The hairs just inside the major labia lips should be pulled tautly with one hand while slowly moving the razor. This part of the shaving should be given very-very careful attention.
After the shaving the vagina should be washed with cold water. The lubricant should be rinsed off completely.
A skin moisturizer should be applied to smooth the skin and some good powder for dryness. Scented products should be avoided.

before humping her!
a night for her!
----------------- ---------------------- ----------------------
When performing the following, make sure that your fingers are well lubricated. There is nothing more uncomfortable (and painful) than a dry finger roughly
rubbed across a woman's clitoris or pushed inside. In most cases, proper foreplay stimulating a woman’s
erogenous zones
will usually avoid the problem of
Excessive Dryness
. Nevertheless, it never hurts to keep a "tube of lube" sitting nearby. Under no circumstance should you put pressure or blame on your partner for this
if it happens; work with her to get around it. It’s written all over this and every other sexual information site, but in case you have forgotten, communication
is key.
..Vaginal Massage ..
Most women
masturbate
by rubbing a finger or two over their clitoris, sometimes "through" the skin of their inner or outer lips, in a circular or back-and-forth motion. You
can do this too, and it is most helpful to ask, or better yet, have her show you how she likes it done. Lie down side by side, and put your hand over hers
while she shows you what she likes. You can also try having her hand over top of yours guiding.
..External..
Another technique which women are very receptive of is to have your partner lie on her back, spread her vaginal lips wide apart with your outer fingers,
and use your middle finger to rapidly slide up and down her vagina rapidly and lightly grazing her clitoris. This motion alone will often bring a woman
to orgasm. Don’t forget to use your mouth while you are fingering, keep
..kissing..
her, her neck, and all her other erogenous zones.
..Internal..
An excellent way to begin manual stimulation is to stick one, and later two or more, finger(s) inside her, with your palm cupped over the mons area. We're
talking about that fleshy 'mound' over her pubic bone. Your finger should have freedom to move in and out freely while the palm of your hand can add pressure
against her vulva and clitoris. Once you get better, you can start moving your palm to add more stimulation.
Another, more intense motion is to position your hand so that you have one or two fingers inside her with your palm facing her body. Now bend your fingers
inward and move them in rapid but short movements focusing on her
G-Spot
. This technique can quickly bring your woman to orgasm, especially when combined with
cunnilingus.
... ..... ....... .......
-----------------------Fingering Techniques-----------------------
..Labial Massage..
Place a well lubricated hand over her labia, fingers pointing towards her anus. Pull up toward the navel and alternate hands. Explore the inner and outer
lips with your fingers. Pull gently on one lip and then the other. Rub the outer lips gently between your forefinger and thumb, then the inner lips.
A-One and A-Two and a-Three
Try inserting your first two fingers into her vagina, then arch your thumb back 'hitch-hiker' style and thrust in until your thumb rests against her clitoris.
Now wriggle, twist, thrust, and vibrate your hand to drive her wild.
Close But No Cigar
If your partner has a particular spot that they like to have licked or caressed, try doing so very close to but not quite on that spot. This trick will
make them take longer to reach their orgasm, but they will likely have a much stronger, more powerful orgasm when they finally do.
Push Here to Start
Gently insert one finger deeply into her vagina and, when she's ready, insert a second. Then take your thumb and place it against her anus (Don't insert
it). Press against her anus while you move your fingers inside her vagina.
..Tap Dancing..
Place the palm of your hand on her mons (the mound where her pubic hair is), and rest your fingers lightly on her vaginal lips. Rest your thumb on her thigh.
Lightly but firmly press your palm onto her mons and begin to move your hand in a tiny circular motion. Your palm should not slide too much over her skin
during this process. Rather, her skin should move underneath it. Repeat this process until you have done ten circles. You then raise your fingers and lightly
tap her vaginal lips about once a second until you have given her ten taps. After giving the taps, rest your hand for five to ten seconds. Then repeat
the whole routine over and over.
..
Cervix Clock
..
A woman's cervix can usually be found in the upper rear part of her vagina. The cervix feels like a little dome of tissue, and may also have a small cleft
in the middle, like your chin. Carefully stimulate the area surrounding the cervix. Some women may enjoy this and want you to do it more often; others
won't.
..
From the Outside
..
Lay your free hand over the lower part of your partner's abdomen. Experiment by applying different kinds of pressure with the top hand while fingers from
your other hand are inside her vagina.
..
Imitations
..
An excellent way to learn more about pleasing your partner is to rest your fingers over hers while she is masturbating herself. Then do the reverse, with
her fingers acting as guides for your own.
..
Off the Edge
..
Another form of genital massage can be done by holding a lubricated vaginal lip between your thumb and forefinger. While squeezing just a little, pull your
fingers straight away from the woman's body. Your fingers will end up in the air an inch or two above her body. If she likes this, repeat it often.
..
Ovaries
..
Ask your partner to help you locate her ovaries. They can usually be felt in the deepest part of the vagina and to the far left or right. Some women will
like you to massage this area, others will find it painful. Sensitivity will also vary with her menstrual status.
..
Proper Invite
..
Begin with a light, gentle caress that barely touches the inner thighs and pubic hair. Don't go much further until your partner's pelvis begins to arch
upwards. Tease and caress until the lips of her vulva invite your fingers to come play.
..
Tracing
..
After applying lubrication, it might be nice to begin with one of the large outer lips. Place the lip between your thumb and forefinger, clasping it at
the base where it attaches to the main part of the woman's body. Then run your fingers (or fingertip) from the lower to upper part of the lip, as though
you were tracing one side of a parenthesis. Repeat this as long as your partner's feedback is positive.
..
Crecent Moon
..
Insert your thumb in her vagina, curl your palm around onto her clitoris, and rest your fingertips on top of her pubic bone. Alternate stimulation between
the internal G-Spot
, the clitoris, and the external G-Spot\bladder.
..
Four Directions
..
With two fingers press firmly up/side/down/side in her vagina, eight times each side.
..
Gentle Touch and Tickle
..
Tickle the clitoris extremely lightly.
..
Healing Thrust
..
Some women might need and want good, hard, deep, vigorous thrusting penetration. Be sure to keep her relaxed - don't let her get tensed.
..
Pinch and Pull
..
Gently pinch and pull on the clitoris.
..
Rock Around the Clit
..
With your forefinger make tiny circles, stopping at every 'hour'.
..
Temple Gate Tease
..
With one finger, tickle her vaginal opening as lightly as possible.
..
Tour de France
..
Orbit your forefinger around between her inner and outer labia from perineum to above her clitoris.
..
Triple Digit Pet
..
Use your three longest fingers, with your middle finger gliding along the outside of her vaginal opening and your other two fingers running along the area
where her thigh meets her labia.
..
Twist and Shout
..
Using one or more fingers, massage in and out while twisting at the wrist.

as a indian girl it was very big step for me
when i was 15 year old i engaged in sexual intercourse with my brother's friend
i liked that so much
after that i explored sex with around 7 or 8 guys
but which i did last month it was really challenging for me
i saw it before only in porn movies
it is sex with two guys at same time
one penis was penetrating my vagina and other was pumping in my anus
in starting it was very difficult but after few minutes it became easy and very enjoyable too
after all in the night when i laid on the bed i was questioning myself
"it is ok for a girl, involve in such slutty activities in indian society?"
i felt shame on me
when i was 15 year old i engaged in sexual intercourse with my brother's friend
i liked that so much
after that i explored sex with around 7 or 8 guys
but which i did last month it was really challenging for me
i saw it before only in porn movies
it is sex with two guys at same time
one penis was penetrating my vagina and other was pumping in my anus
in starting it was very difficult but after few minutes it became easy and very enjoyable too
after all in the night when i laid on the bed i was questioning myself
"it is ok for a girl, involve in such slutty activities in indian society?"
i felt shame on me

why you want to go for this surgery
Hymenoplasty
Restoring your Virginity - For him and for yourself
The
virginity of a woman
is valued for religious, social, and even economic reasons. Hymen gets disrupted after the first intercourse or even after strenuous physical activity
or tampon use. Anyway, you wouldn't want your boyfriend / future husband feel ashamed because your hymen no longer existed.
Many woman would like to restore hymen which represent their virginity.
Type of Hymen Repair
Hymen repair, hymen reconstruction, hymen surgery, Hymenoplasty or revirgination refer to the comestic surgery that restore your hymen. Hymenoplasty is
a simple procedure that repair torn hymen. There are two most popular type of Hymenoplasty
Simple Hymenoplasty: Doctor will piecing together the remnant by closing the tear. It is a simple procedure and could be in three to seven day. The hymen
tissue is pulled together so vagina will again cover by it. The risk of fever and infection is low since hymen is relatively avascular. However, the result
is not meant to last long so it is best to perform in less than a month before your next intercourse.
Alloplant: If you hymen can't not be restore, a Tear-through biomaterial will be insert and act as your hymen. Hymen implant is an easy procedure than
can be done under local anesthetic and as a day case surgery. It takes less than two hour and patient can return to work the next day. It is not easy to
notice it is not a real hymen.
History of Hymen repair
In some cultures, women's hymen can affect her marriage prospects, her family's reputation, and even her very life. The
virginity
of the bride is valued for religious, social, and even economic reasons. In many Mediterranean and African cultures, the husband's family may take revenge
through violent punishments and banishment of the bride because the "non-virgin" bride "shamed" them. Clearly, those who seek Hymenoplasty believe that
the procedure is necessary for their social status, happiness, and even preservation of life.
Where is Hymen located
Where many people believe hymen is inside the vigina, it is located outside of the vagina.
Hymen
is part of vulva, which is an external genital organ. Hymen is a thin layer of tissue that is easy to break. Some woman breaks their hymen during their
first intercourse where other had their hymen broken during sport or other activity.
Imperforate hymen
Imperforate hymen is at the extreme of a spectrum of variations in hymenal configuration. Variations in the embryologic development of the hymen are common
and result in fenestrations, septa, bands, microperforations, anterior displacement, and differences in rigidity and/or elasticity of the hymenal tissue.

a little knowledge about sweet vagina
The average size of vagina
Many women don't know the size of their vagina, as they normal wont measure it for any reason. You might have an estimate of the size during encounter.
However, vagina wall is very elastic so one might not know the exact size of their vagina this way.
Some women believe a tighter vagina will bring more pleasure for both party. It is somehow true since a tighter vagina mean more pressure and friction.
A loose vagina might be embarrassing, but the question is, how loose is too lose?
vagina size vary in differnt time
When your vagina is relax the vaginal wall collapse to each other. The diameter is less than once inch and the length will be around 3 ? to 4 inches. However
the size changes when you are ready for intercourse. At that time the diameter of your vaginal is not the same throughout the vaginal tunnel.
The narrowest part will be the opening of vagina and wider as it go deeper in to the vagina.Usually the front part of vagina has a size of one and a half
inches. As we go deeper in to the vagina, the diameter is larger. The backend of vagina usually has a diameter of 2 1/2 inches. The length of vagina also
changed. The front vagina wall has the length of 2 ? inches and the back end is 3 ? so the total is around 6 inches. However, the size will be change after
child birth because of the extreme expansion of the vagina. Many women complain they feel loose and lost the control of their bladder. It could be correct
by kegel exercise and vaginal tightening surgery.
Oh my god how could it fit?
You might think 1 ? inches is kind of small for a male?s genital However, you vaginal wall is very elastic so it can accommodate most size. It can stretch
enormously in length and width. In normal stage, muscle around vagina is relaxed and collapse to each other. However, the inner vagina wall will expand
so it is longer and wider. Average woman can handle a 9 inches long and 2 ? inches wide. 60 % of woman has normal vagina size where 10 % has smaller and
30 % has larger vagina.
If your vagina is too big, you might have the following problem
• Less satisfaction for you and your partner during intercourse.
• Fanny Farting - air getting in and out of your vagina.
• Bad bladder control.
• In come case it will develop prolapsed in middle age or later, which is serious matter.
To improve your vagina size, consider
kegel exercise
regularly. However, in some case when Kegel exercise doesn?t work,
tightening surgery
can be an alternative choice.

butterflies in stomach? is it possible?
Where'd That Come From?
> Butterflies in the Stomach
How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren't butterflies in there. "Butterflies in the
stomach
" is a way of describing those nervous, fluttery feelings you might get before a test or an important game. An imaginative writer created the phrase to
describe the feeling, and people have been using it ever since.
These tummy flutters are normal and happen to many people - even grown-ups. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better
by keeping you on your toes.

a info about male and female skeleton!
One of the distinctions between a genetic man and a genetic woman is the characteristics of their skeleton. The skeleton obviously sets or heavily influences
the body size and its proportions.
It's thought that genes (female "XX" or male "XY") mainly determine the basic size and shape of the skeleton, however in the male the high levels of testosterone
at puberty help enlarge and ruggedized bones, while the high levels of progesterone help enhance and develop other male skeletal characteristics such greater
height and narrower pelvic width. But overall, the differences between the skeletons of male and female bodies are actually surprisingly small compared
with the similarities.
Skeletal Sex Differentiation
It is actually quite difficult to distinguish between male and female skeletons as there is a clear range of overlap between the sexes for many measures.
Indeed, there is in fact no certain, 100% guaranteed, method of telling the sex of a skeleton from simple examination and inspection alone, as criminologists
who have misidentified the sex of murder victims, and archaeologists who have been unable to determine from skeleton X-Rays whether Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun
was actually male or female, can confirm.
On average a male skeleton is larger than the female skeleton so this is a differentiation, but there is also a considerable overlap in skeletal size between
the sexes - e.g. there are short men and tall women - so this is hardly a reliable method alone. Other significant differences between male and female
skeletons are that female bones are usually lighter and thinner than more robust male bones; female head bones are smaller and more lightly built; and
the female pelvis is shallower and wider than the male's. This latter difference makes childbirth easier. The pelvis is considered the best area to determine
the sex of a skeleton and the skull is the second best area - an estimation of sex can often be determined through analysis of the skull (cranium and mandible)
and post-cranial skeleton.
Skull and bone features vary from male to female and differentiation is usually based on the generalization that typically male features are more pronounced
and marked than the female features.
By observing all the possible differentiating features of skeleton in a cumulative manner, it's possible to correctly identify the sex of a Caucasoid skeleton
in about 90% of cases. [Krogman ranks accuracy of sex determination using the pelvis at 95%, followed by the skull at 92%, the mandible alone at 90%, and
long bone measures at 80%. Stewart indicates slightly lower yields, however the order of accuracy was the same with the long bones again the least accurate.]
Success rates are somewhat lower for Negroid and Mongoloid skeletons.
Note that it is often impossible to place absolute metric value on what constitutes a male feature, and what constitutes a female. Krogman addressed the
difficulty of sex determination from skeletons when he states: "here is the problem of subjectivity versus objectivity, of description versus measurement,
of �experience� versus statistical �standardization.� "
Skull
The adult female skull retains gracile attributes seen in the pre-pubescent skull, but the male cranium becomes markedly rougher in adulthood at the sites
of muscle attachment.
Major differences between the female and male skill include the posterior of the cranium (the occipital), robustest of the brow-ridge, mastoid process,
nuchal crest, temporal lines, and mandible. Although distinct, the ability to quantify measures of the skull for sex determination has met with limited
success and successful sex identification based purely on a skull is a very subjective process based experience in identifying and assessing non-metric
characteristics.
Above the orbits (eye sockets), the male cranium tends to have "blunt" superior margins and larger supraorbital (brow) ridges. The female cranium tends
to have "sharp" superior margins of the orbits and no discernible supraorbital ridges.
The occipital of males tend to have a well-defined nuchal crest. In some cases, the nuchal crest and nuchal line are very rugged and sharp. In very gracile
females, there is almost no nuchal crest and the nuchal line is completely absent.
The mandible of a female cranium tends to have a "pointed" chin. The area around the gonial angle is smooth and does not project. The male mandible tends
to have a "square" shape and in extreme case the area around the gonial angle is "flared". The dentition (teeth) of males is frequently larger.
Finally, the area of the temporal in the female cranium is smoother and less rugged than that of the male cranium. In the female cranium the zygomatic
arch normally does not extend, as a ridge, posterior of the external auditory meatus. In male crania the zygomatic arch typically extends, as a ridge,
posterior to the external auditory meatus. In females the mastoid process is small and smooth. In males the mastoid process is large and rugged.
Face
Its worth relating the skull differences just described to the face. Unfortunately for the transsexual woman, the human eye and brain is amazingly able
to distinguish between a "male" face and a "female" face on the basis of very minor differentiations and indications.
However, as ever, there is great variance - many handsome actors on close examination have some feminine facial characteristics, while many supermodels
have some very male characteristics.
In absolute measures almost all dimensions of the female skull and face are smaller compared to the male features. The facial width is relatively larger
in women than in men. Resulting contours are therefore more rounded in females, especially in the orbital area, with more prominent malar (cheek) bones
and less prominent mandibular (chin/jaw) angles.
Forehead
In the upper part of the face, the forehead is quite different, most noticeably women have less sloping mid-foreheads and the position of their eyebrows
is higher and has a stronger curvature.
Nose
In the middle part of the face, the angles of the nose differ substantially, especially at the tip portion. Females generally have a more pointed, narrow,
and vertically shortened less nasal prominence than males.
Chin
In the lower part of the face the most dominant differences are found in the chin region, which varies markedly between the male and female. The male chin
is larger in every dimension, the manible symphysis (upper chin) is generally wide and vertically high, while the female is more rounded, and the male
mental eminence (point of the chin) tends to be square and the female more more pointed. The degree of perceived masculinity/femininity due to the chin
can vary tremendously.
Pelvis
The pelvic girdle is formed by the sacrum, coccyx, and the two coxae. A coxa is formed by the fusion of three bones, the ilium, ischium, and pubis, which
meet in the acetabulum or hip socket. At the back each coxa is attached by strong ligaments to the sacrum (base of spinal cord), and in front to each other
at the pubic symphysis joint. This joint allows only slight bending movement, but it softens and becomes more flexible in a female giving birth. [Note:
Other names for the pelvic bone are innominate bone and coxal bone.]
Factors contributing to the overall shape of the pelvis are constrained by both the demands of bipedal locomotion, as well as those for perpetuating the
species. Of all the bones, the pelvis shows the greatest sexual differentiation, principally in relation to the requirements of childbirth. On average
the male pelvis is much heavier and narrower than that of the female. In comparison the female pelvis is broad and shallow, the geometry is designed with
a greater outlet for passage through its bony openings of a baby's head and shoulders during birth. The female pelvis is also less massive and more delicate
and its muscular impressions are slightly marked.
In the female pelvis the ilia are less sloped, and the anterior iliac spines more widely separated; hence the greater lateral prominence of the hips. The
pelvic inlet of females is larger and has a greater absolute circumference. The body of the pubis is longer, thereby increasing the size of the pelvic
outlet. The size of the pelvis varies not only in the two sexes, but also in different members of the same sex, and does not appear to be influenced in
any way by the height of the individual. Women of short stature, as a rule, have broad pelvises. The characteristic differences between the male and female
pelvis are distinctly indicated as early as the fourth month of fetal life.
In the female, the superior ramus of the pubic bone is longer, increasing the pubic/ischium ratio. The greater sciatic notch is wider and forms a longer
angle. The increased pubic length and laterally displaced ischia result in a wider subpubic angle. The growth and remodelling of the pubis produces extra
bone at the symphysis, leaving a concave inferior ramus, a ventral arc that represents a previous border of the symphysis, and a narrow inferior pubic
ramus. The female pubic symphysis is likely to be longer in its superior-inferior diameter and smaller in its dorsal-ventral diameters than is that of
a male. Females are more likely to have a well-developed preauricular sulcus, and those who have borne children may have pits or guttering along the dorsal
border of the pubic symphysis. Since they have smaller femurs, females have smaller acetabula, with males showing greater robusticity in this feature corresponding
to the generally greater size of the male femur head with which it articulates.
The greater sciatic notch is an often-used preliminary tool for sex determination, though not the most accurate.
A triangular shaped pubis with a broad medial aspect and no evidence of a ventral arc is a characteristically male pattern. The female pattern for these
features is a rectangular pubis, pronounced ventral arc, and sharp, narrow medial aspect of the ischiopubic ramus. According to Bass, the presence of a
ventral arc is the most diagnostic of the female pubic features.
Sacrum
As a rule, the female sacrum is wider and flatter than that of the male, permitting a greater outlet for the birth canal. However, this is a rather subjective
observation, and should only be used in conjunction with other techniques of sex determination.
Feminization of the Skeleton
As described there are several basic differences between male and a female facial skeleton, and also in the subcutaneous tissues (depth, type) and the
skin quality - differences long appreciated by anthropologists studying skulls, and by artists as well. It is the combination of all these factors that
differentiate the appearance of men and women. While hormones may help feminise subcutaneous tissue (redistribution, less muscle, more fat) they will not
affect the skeleton of any individual already past puberty when treatment is commenced. However in some cases surgery can help feminise the the appearance
of the underlying skeleton.
Pelvis
Although the greatest male and female skeleton differentiation can be found in the pelvic girdle, unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to directly
feminise the pelvis of an adult male to female transsexual woman, however an increase in subcutaneous fat deposits due to hormone use will often feminise
the hip contours. Although not recommended, this can be supplemented by silicone and other implants in the hips and buttocks.
Skull and Face
Relating the absolute measures of the male and female face, several surgically correctable differences which will make a dramatic difference in the perceived
gender can often be identified to the benefit of a male-to-female transsexual.
[Note: An excellent article by Dr. D.K. Ousterhout on the differences between male and female skulls, and the feminization of the face of a transsexual
woman can be found here.]
Forehead
Forehead re-contouring involves rounding the forehead to approximate a female shape, often by shaving bone from the brow of filling in flat areas to round
them out. Reducing brow ridges, if excessive, can considerably improve the feminine appearance.
Common task include:
Scalp reduction: involves advancing forward the scalp between 1.0 cm - 2.5 cm to correct for the receding masculine pattern hairline and to approximate,
when possible, a more feminine 'oval' pattern hairline.
SMAS/platysma (deep plane) rhytidectomy: involves lifting the cheeks, jowls, jawline, and neck and their underlying muscles.
Forehead contouring: involves shaving the brow bossing and, if necessary, contouring via shaving across the forehead.
Forehead augmentation: involves the use of 2, 3, or 4 implants (Gore-Tex Subcutaneous Augmentation Material).
Nasal Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
[Not strictly skeletal, but worth listing here!]
The nose is the most prominent feature of the face. Many transwomen find nasal refinement to make one of the most marked improvements in their female facial
appearance and it's the most common procedure after breast augmentation.
Nasal surgery or rhinoplasty alters the appearance of the nose by shaping and repositioning the nasal bones and trimming the bone and cartilage as needed
to create the desired appearance. As example, rhinoplasty is used to correct a large hump, or a broad or round nasal tip. Small changes, such as subtly
lifting the tip of the nose will often create a more youthful and feminine appearance.
Commons task include:
Septal Surgery - The strip of cartilage which separates the two sides of the nose is called the septum. It is sometimes bent and interferes with breathing;
if so, it may need to be straightened. If it is too long, it is often shortened.
Shaping the Profile - Many women complain of a hump on the bridge (dorsum) of the nose. This is usually made of both bone and cartilage. It is removed
with scissors or a saw. When the nose is flat, the profile may be augmented with grafts of bone or cartilage.
Refining the Tip - If the tip of the nose is large or boxy, much of the tip cartilage may be removed or reshaped to refine the shape.
Narrowing the Nasal Bones - If the bridge of the nose is wide, the surgeon will narrow it by fracturing the bone on each side and moving it closer to the
centre.
Reducing Nostril Flare - If the nostrils are flared, they may be reduced by removing a small wedge of tissue from the base of the nose.
Cheeks
Cheek implants, also called submalar implants, can make the face look less flat, which can enhance its feminine appearance. Like any implant, there is
a danger of rejection.
Common tasks include:
Cheekbone reduction: involves an intra-oral incision which requires an extended recovery period (with severe facial swelling/bruising for about 10 days).
Cheekbone augmentation: involves an intra-oral incision to augmenting the bone with a hard silicone implant.
Lip contouring: involves lifting the upper lip via a shallow 'v' incision below the nose or by an incision inside the lip. If necessary, the lower lip
can be made fuller via an incision inside the lip.
Chin and Jaw
The chin is an extremely important area in gender recognition. Although the potential benefits can be great, the difficulties involved in re-shaping a
"robust" lower jaw sufficiently to make a significant improvement in overall facial feminizing prevents this being a very common surgery.
Possible tasks include:
Jaw reduction: involves a 1.0cm extra-oral incision under the jaw line to cut the bone (on average, by 1.0cm depth) and thus reduce the sharp angle of
the back corner of the jaw where it rises up to the ear.
Alternatively, an intra-oral incision can shave (but not cut) the bone. Although this technique prevents external scaring, it is less effective, has more
risk of infections, and requires an extended recovery period due to severe facial swelling/bruising.
Chin reduction: involves an intra-oral incision to shorten and narrow the chin (if necessary, including contouring with a hard silicone implant). The technique
involves: (1) shaving the bone; (2) cutting the bone; or (3) sectioning out the mid-section of chin and joining the upper and lower sections via steel
screws.
Sliding genioplasty: involves an intra-oral incision and sliding forward or backward the lower section of chin (if necessary, including contouring with
a hard silicone implant).
Chin augmentation: involves an intra-oral incision to advance a short or/and receding chin with a hard silicone implant.
Neck
A trachea shave is a common procedure undertaken in order to reduce the woman's "Adams's Apple".
Other
Rib Removal
This is fairly rare procedure undertaken to improve the figure. One of two of the floating ribs at the bottom of the rib cage are taken out to have a smaller
waist, typically by 1 - 2 inches. Corsets also become far more effective.
The resulting back scars, the need to protect internal organs, and the possibility for rib regrowth make this a problematic procedure.
Long Bone Shortening
It is possible to shorten the bones of the legs (most commonly the femur) and arms by resection in order to reduce physical size and height. This procedure
is considered dangerous and is very rarely performed on transsexual women. Excessive reduction of limb length will destroy the proportions of the body.
the body size and its proportions.
It's thought that genes (female "XX" or male "XY") mainly determine the basic size and shape of the skeleton, however in the male the high levels of testosterone
at puberty help enlarge and ruggedized bones, while the high levels of progesterone help enhance and develop other male skeletal characteristics such greater
height and narrower pelvic width. But overall, the differences between the skeletons of male and female bodies are actually surprisingly small compared
with the similarities.
Skeletal Sex Differentiation
It is actually quite difficult to distinguish between male and female skeletons as there is a clear range of overlap between the sexes for many measures.
Indeed, there is in fact no certain, 100% guaranteed, method of telling the sex of a skeleton from simple examination and inspection alone, as criminologists
who have misidentified the sex of murder victims, and archaeologists who have been unable to determine from skeleton X-Rays whether Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun
was actually male or female, can confirm.
On average a male skeleton is larger than the female skeleton so this is a differentiation, but there is also a considerable overlap in skeletal size between
the sexes - e.g. there are short men and tall women - so this is hardly a reliable method alone. Other significant differences between male and female
skeletons are that female bones are usually lighter and thinner than more robust male bones; female head bones are smaller and more lightly built; and
the female pelvis is shallower and wider than the male's. This latter difference makes childbirth easier. The pelvis is considered the best area to determine
the sex of a skeleton and the skull is the second best area - an estimation of sex can often be determined through analysis of the skull (cranium and mandible)
and post-cranial skeleton.
Skull and bone features vary from male to female and differentiation is usually based on the generalization that typically male features are more pronounced
and marked than the female features.
By observing all the possible differentiating features of skeleton in a cumulative manner, it's possible to correctly identify the sex of a Caucasoid skeleton
in about 90% of cases. [Krogman ranks accuracy of sex determination using the pelvis at 95%, followed by the skull at 92%, the mandible alone at 90%, and
long bone measures at 80%. Stewart indicates slightly lower yields, however the order of accuracy was the same with the long bones again the least accurate.]
Success rates are somewhat lower for Negroid and Mongoloid skeletons.
Note that it is often impossible to place absolute metric value on what constitutes a male feature, and what constitutes a female. Krogman addressed the
difficulty of sex determination from skeletons when he states: "here is the problem of subjectivity versus objectivity, of description versus measurement,
of �experience� versus statistical �standardization.� "
Skull
The adult female skull retains gracile attributes seen in the pre-pubescent skull, but the male cranium becomes markedly rougher in adulthood at the sites
of muscle attachment.
Major differences between the female and male skill include the posterior of the cranium (the occipital), robustest of the brow-ridge, mastoid process,
nuchal crest, temporal lines, and mandible. Although distinct, the ability to quantify measures of the skull for sex determination has met with limited
success and successful sex identification based purely on a skull is a very subjective process based experience in identifying and assessing non-metric
characteristics.
Above the orbits (eye sockets), the male cranium tends to have "blunt" superior margins and larger supraorbital (brow) ridges. The female cranium tends
to have "sharp" superior margins of the orbits and no discernible supraorbital ridges.
The occipital of males tend to have a well-defined nuchal crest. In some cases, the nuchal crest and nuchal line are very rugged and sharp. In very gracile
females, there is almost no nuchal crest and the nuchal line is completely absent.
The mandible of a female cranium tends to have a "pointed" chin. The area around the gonial angle is smooth and does not project. The male mandible tends
to have a "square" shape and in extreme case the area around the gonial angle is "flared". The dentition (teeth) of males is frequently larger.
Finally, the area of the temporal in the female cranium is smoother and less rugged than that of the male cranium. In the female cranium the zygomatic
arch normally does not extend, as a ridge, posterior of the external auditory meatus. In male crania the zygomatic arch typically extends, as a ridge,
posterior to the external auditory meatus. In females the mastoid process is small and smooth. In males the mastoid process is large and rugged.
Face
Its worth relating the skull differences just described to the face. Unfortunately for the transsexual woman, the human eye and brain is amazingly able
to distinguish between a "male" face and a "female" face on the basis of very minor differentiations and indications.
However, as ever, there is great variance - many handsome actors on close examination have some feminine facial characteristics, while many supermodels
have some very male characteristics.
In absolute measures almost all dimensions of the female skull and face are smaller compared to the male features. The facial width is relatively larger
in women than in men. Resulting contours are therefore more rounded in females, especially in the orbital area, with more prominent malar (cheek) bones
and less prominent mandibular (chin/jaw) angles.
Forehead
In the upper part of the face, the forehead is quite different, most noticeably women have less sloping mid-foreheads and the position of their eyebrows
is higher and has a stronger curvature.
Nose
In the middle part of the face, the angles of the nose differ substantially, especially at the tip portion. Females generally have a more pointed, narrow,
and vertically shortened less nasal prominence than males.
Chin
In the lower part of the face the most dominant differences are found in the chin region, which varies markedly between the male and female. The male chin
is larger in every dimension, the manible symphysis (upper chin) is generally wide and vertically high, while the female is more rounded, and the male
mental eminence (point of the chin) tends to be square and the female more more pointed. The degree of perceived masculinity/femininity due to the chin
can vary tremendously.
Pelvis
The pelvic girdle is formed by the sacrum, coccyx, and the two coxae. A coxa is formed by the fusion of three bones, the ilium, ischium, and pubis, which
meet in the acetabulum or hip socket. At the back each coxa is attached by strong ligaments to the sacrum (base of spinal cord), and in front to each other
at the pubic symphysis joint. This joint allows only slight bending movement, but it softens and becomes more flexible in a female giving birth. [Note:
Other names for the pelvic bone are innominate bone and coxal bone.]
Factors contributing to the overall shape of the pelvis are constrained by both the demands of bipedal locomotion, as well as those for perpetuating the
species. Of all the bones, the pelvis shows the greatest sexual differentiation, principally in relation to the requirements of childbirth. On average
the male pelvis is much heavier and narrower than that of the female. In comparison the female pelvis is broad and shallow, the geometry is designed with
a greater outlet for passage through its bony openings of a baby's head and shoulders during birth. The female pelvis is also less massive and more delicate
and its muscular impressions are slightly marked.
In the female pelvis the ilia are less sloped, and the anterior iliac spines more widely separated; hence the greater lateral prominence of the hips. The
pelvic inlet of females is larger and has a greater absolute circumference. The body of the pubis is longer, thereby increasing the size of the pelvic
outlet. The size of the pelvis varies not only in the two sexes, but also in different members of the same sex, and does not appear to be influenced in
any way by the height of the individual. Women of short stature, as a rule, have broad pelvises. The characteristic differences between the male and female
pelvis are distinctly indicated as early as the fourth month of fetal life.
In the female, the superior ramus of the pubic bone is longer, increasing the pubic/ischium ratio. The greater sciatic notch is wider and forms a longer
angle. The increased pubic length and laterally displaced ischia result in a wider subpubic angle. The growth and remodelling of the pubis produces extra
bone at the symphysis, leaving a concave inferior ramus, a ventral arc that represents a previous border of the symphysis, and a narrow inferior pubic
ramus. The female pubic symphysis is likely to be longer in its superior-inferior diameter and smaller in its dorsal-ventral diameters than is that of
a male. Females are more likely to have a well-developed preauricular sulcus, and those who have borne children may have pits or guttering along the dorsal
border of the pubic symphysis. Since they have smaller femurs, females have smaller acetabula, with males showing greater robusticity in this feature corresponding
to the generally greater size of the male femur head with which it articulates.
The greater sciatic notch is an often-used preliminary tool for sex determination, though not the most accurate.
A triangular shaped pubis with a broad medial aspect and no evidence of a ventral arc is a characteristically male pattern. The female pattern for these
features is a rectangular pubis, pronounced ventral arc, and sharp, narrow medial aspect of the ischiopubic ramus. According to Bass, the presence of a
ventral arc is the most diagnostic of the female pubic features.
Sacrum
As a rule, the female sacrum is wider and flatter than that of the male, permitting a greater outlet for the birth canal. However, this is a rather subjective
observation, and should only be used in conjunction with other techniques of sex determination.
Feminization of the Skeleton
As described there are several basic differences between male and a female facial skeleton, and also in the subcutaneous tissues (depth, type) and the
skin quality - differences long appreciated by anthropologists studying skulls, and by artists as well. It is the combination of all these factors that
differentiate the appearance of men and women. While hormones may help feminise subcutaneous tissue (redistribution, less muscle, more fat) they will not
affect the skeleton of any individual already past puberty when treatment is commenced. However in some cases surgery can help feminise the the appearance
of the underlying skeleton.
Pelvis
Although the greatest male and female skeleton differentiation can be found in the pelvic girdle, unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to directly
feminise the pelvis of an adult male to female transsexual woman, however an increase in subcutaneous fat deposits due to hormone use will often feminise
the hip contours. Although not recommended, this can be supplemented by silicone and other implants in the hips and buttocks.

cunnilingus a great tool
There is little more exciting to a woman
CUNNILINGUS:
There is little more exciting to a woman than to know that her partner finds her delicious; meaning that you enjoy the taste, smell and feeling of her
vaginal juices. At the same time, there is little less exciting to a woman than to think that you dont like the taste and smell of her most intimate region.
More. If your partner has a smell that is more than you can handle, or she doesn't feel comfortable with you down there (thinking you wont like the smell),
suggest taking a nice hot shower or bath together. See the Bathing and Showering section for more details on how to make that bathroom experience a whole
lot of fun for the both of you.
Before reading further, you may want to get acquainted with this region of her body by reading the erogenous zones section and having a look at the diagrams.
Remember, there is almost nothing you can do that will feel bad (so long as you are gentle), so relax! Any licking and sucking of the labia, vaginal entrance,
clitoris, or anal area should feel great to your partner. Also, once you find something that works, dont stray too far away from it unless you are moving
to something that works better, or if you are teasing.

make crazy your babe with fingering
Fingering Techniques:
Place a well lubricated hand over her labia, fingers pointing towards her anus. Pull up toward the navel and alternate hands. Explore the inner and outer
lips with your fingers. Pull gently on one lip and then the other. Rub the outer lips gently between your forefinger and thumb, then the inner lips.
A-One and A-Two and a-Three
Try inserting your first two fingers into her vagina, then arch your thumb back 'hitch-hiker' style and thrust in until your thumb rests against her clitoris.
Now wriggle, twist, thrust, and vibrate your hand to drive her wild.
Close But No Cigar
If your partner has a particular spot that they like to have licked or caressed, try doing so very close to but not quite on that spot. This trick will
make them take longer to reach their orgasm, but they will likely have a much stronger, more powerful orgasm when they finally do.
Push Here to Start
Gently insert one finger deeply into her vagina and, when she's ready, insert a second. Then take your thumb and place it against her anus (Don't insert
it). Press against her anus while you move your fingers inside her vagina.
Tap Dancing
Place the palm of your hand on her mo
ns (the mound where her pubic hair is), and rest your fingers lightly on her vaginal lips. Rest your thumb on her thigh. Lightly but firmly press your palm
onto her mons and begin to move your hand in a tiny circular motion. Your palm should not slide too much over her skin during this process. Rather, her
skin should move underneath it. Repeat this process until you have done ten circles. You then raise your fingers and lightly tap her vaginal lips about
once a second until you have given her ten taps. After giving the taps, rest your hand for five to ten seconds. Then repeat the whole routine over and
over.
Cervix Clock
A woman's cervix can usually be found in the upper rear part of her vagina. The cervix feels like a little dome of tissue, and may also have a small cleft
in the middle, like your chin. Carefully stimulate the area surrounding the cervix. Some women may enjoy this and want you to do it more often; others
won't.
From the Outside
Lay your free hand over the lower part of your partner's abdomen. Experiment by applying different kinds of pressure with the top hand while fingers from
your other hand are inside her vagina.
Place a well lubricated hand over her labia, fingers pointing towards her anus. Pull up toward the navel and alternate hands. Explore the inner and outer
lips with your fingers. Pull gently on one lip and then the other. Rub the outer lips gently between your forefinger and thumb, then the inner lips.

if she has a wonderful and sensitive area .. why forget it!
Her Perineum
The perineum is the area between the vagina and the anus, it is very sensitive for a lot of women and it often goes unexplored. It's made from tissue similar
to the vaginal lips so there are a lot of nerve endings there. It also has an element of intimacy that might turn her on. Some girls are scared of or disgusted
by anal play, so if this is the case, ease her mind by reassuring her that you are not going to do anything she is against. It's not a part of the body
that's normally exposed, so she will feel like she's giving you special privileges, which can be exciting. This area is like any other area you first encounter
that is sensitive, stick to a light touch at first and hold off until she's been aroused for some time. For a smoother experience, try using a little artificial
lubricant or massage oil.
Her Buttocks
Ready to get to the bottom of things? A lot of women like their buttocks attended to, and with more vigor than you might think. You can use pressure on
a butt that you wouldn't use on a breast. It's not sensitive the way a nipple or a clitoris is so you can knead them and squeeze them. Many women are self
conscious about their behinds, so spending time here will show her that you like it, and hopefully allow her to be more comfortable with herself and you.
The Small Of Her Back
Don't make the mistake of making her breasts the only stop on your way to the main event. That's what she
's expecting. Surprise her by asking her to lie on her stomach and massage her lower back. Besides being rich in nerve endings, the small of the back has
pressure points where stress can accumulate. A massage there might not turn her on in the same way that sucking on her nipple or rubbing her clitoris will,
but it'll feel good and help release stress. What's more, it could even help with arousal, by increasing blood flow and engorgement in the pelvic area.
Start by applying steady but moderate pressure with your fingertips and if she likes it, work up to a deeper massage. It never hurts to throw in a few
kisses there as well. One technique we have learned usually works well with a massage is; while you are massaging her, take a minute or so to kiss her
neck, then run your tongue very softly down her spine. After this you can continue with the massage or "go for lunch!"
Her Fingers and Toes
A little creativity can go a long way when sex is involved. Here's a tip: Try sucking on her fingers or toes during foreplay or intercourse. (Granted,
unless you're a contortionist, the toe thing may be a bit rough during intercourse, but you can usually find her fingers.) They're a lot more sensitive
than you might think and for whatever reason, a relatively large area in the brain receives sensation for them. Lightly kissing or passionately sucking
them, especially combined with the sensations you're causing in her genitals, can be incredibly erotic.
The perineum is the area between the vagina and the anus, it is very sensitive for a lot of women and it often goes unexplored. It's made from tissue similar
to the vaginal lips so there are a lot of nerve endings there. It also has an element of intimacy that might turn her on. Some girls are scared of or disgusted
by anal play, so if this is the case, ease her mind by reassuring her that you are not going to do anything she is against. It's not a part of the body
that's normally exposed, so she will feel like she's giving you special privileges, which can be exciting. This area is like any other area you first encounter
that is sensitive, stick to a light touch at first and hold off until she's been aroused for some time. For a smoother experience, try using a little artificial
lubricant or massage oil.

girls really want body like barbie?
Women's desire to look like Barbie—young with small waist, large breasts, long blond hair, and blue eyes—is a direct, realistic, and sensible response to
the desire of men to mate with women who look like her. There is evolutionary logic behind each of these features.
Men prefer young women in part because they tend to be healthier than older women. One accurate indicator of health is physical attractiveness; another
is hair. Healthy women have lustrous, shiny hair, whereas the hair of sickly people loses its luster. Because hair grows slowly, shoulder-length hair reveals
several years of a woman's health status.
Men also have a universal preference for women with a low waist-to-hip ratio. They are healthier and more fertile than other women; they have an easier
time conceiving a child and do so at earlier ages because they have larger amounts of essential reproductive hormones. Thus men are unconsciously seeking
healthier and more fertile women when they seek women with small waists.
Until very recently, it was a mystery to evolutionary psychology why men prefer women with large breasts, since the size of a woman's breasts has no relationship
to her ability to lactate. But Harvard anthropologist Frank Marlowe contends that larger, and hence heavier, breasts sag more conspicuously with age than
do smaller breasts. Thus they make it easier for men to judge a woman's age (and her reproductive value) by sight—suggesting why men find women with large
breasts more attractive.
Alternatively, men may prefer women with large breasts for the same reason they prefer women with small waists. A new study of Polish women shows that women
with large breasts and tight waists have the greatest fecundity, indicated by their levels of two reproductive hormones (estradiol and progesterone).
Blond hair is unique in that it changes dramatically with age. Typically, young girls with light blond hair become women with brown hair. Thus, men who
prefer to mate with blond women are unconsciously attempting to mate with younger (and hence, on average, healthier and more fecund) women. It is no coincidence
that blond hair evolved in Scandinavia and northern Europe, probably as an alternative means for women to advertise their youth, as their bodies were concealed
under heavy clothing.
Women with blue eyes should not be any different from those with green or brown eyes. Yet preference for blue eyes seems both universal and undeniable—in
males as well as females. One explanation is that the human pupil dilates when an individual is exposed to something that she likes. For instance, the
pupils of women and infants (but not men) spontaneously dilate when they see babies. Pupil dilation is an honest indicator of interest and attraction.
And the size of the pupil is easiest to determine in blue eyes. Blue-eyed people are considered attractive as potential mates because it is easiest to
determine whether they are interested in us or not.
The irony is that none of the above is true any longer. Through face-lifts, wigs, liposuction, surgical breast augmentation, hair dye, and color contact
lenses, any woman, regardless of age, can have many of the key features that define ideal female beauty. And men fall for them. Men can cognitively understand
that many blond women with firm, large breasts are not actually 15 years old, but they still find them attractive because their evolved psychological mechanisms
are fooled by modern inventions that did not exist in the ancestral environment.

your sweetheart wife and you
The entire breast is rich in nerve endings and all breasts have the same number of nerve endings. Thus, the woman with smaller breasts may experience increased
sensations per touch. This results from a condensed amount of nerve endings. All breasts respond with time; lovers, go slow, take your time and slowly
fondle the breast. Areas that are especially sensitive to touch include the nipple and the areola (the pinkish area that directly surrounds the nipple).
One of the most sensitive spots, which is often ignored, is the underside of her breast. When kissing and touching her breasts, try starting around the
outside and moving inward with slow circles. She may push your mouth or hand directly to her nipples, but don't let her do it, just continue moving slowly
towards her nipple. Take your time; she is not going anywhere, so tease her. This whole process should take at least a few minutes. Next, wet the tip of
your finger and lightly touch and roll her nipple around. Then, very lightly, using your fingertips, squeeze the nipple between them and when they are
nice and hard, bring your mouth in. Note: some women enjoy nibbling and rougher play, while others are really sensitive and prefer light soft touching.
Find out her preferences by asking or watching her reactions.
Her Other Soft Spots
Here is where you can be rea
lly creative. Try tenderly kissing or caressing the backs of her knees, the insides of her arms, her inner thighs, or her palms. Women love to have these
areas gently stroked, kissed, licked, or blown upon (be gentle on these areas, they are made of very soft tissue). Gentle stimulation is usually more arousing
than pressure that's hard or rough. Catching her off guard can be half the fun. A lot of people don't realize that having a tongue going up their inner
arm is going to be erotic. Again, we must stress that skin is the largest organ; there is lots to explore, so get at it!
Her Clitoris
It is located at the top juncture of her inner vaginal lips, a small knob of pink flesh. Women like different amounts of direct stimulation on their clitoris.
Some women will adore it if you suck hard on their exposed clitoris, others would shriek in pain. You may encounter a woman who is completely unable to
take direct stimulation of her clit; the goal is still the same, but you'll have to stimulate it indirectly, such as through her labia. Often, what is
unacceptably rough at first may be fine after she's very excited (i.e., very wet). The fact is, most women need a good bit of arousal before having their
clitoris targeted, but once they have reached that point, that's where many women want you to devote your attention.

about lingerie
What is Lingerie?
definition
Lingerie is a term used in English to refer to women's undergarments. It is borrowed from the French. In France, the term is used more generically, to refer
to undergarments in general, which is actually the original usage of the word. Within most English speaking nations, lingerie is associated with garments
which enhance and flatter the female figure, making the wearer seem more attractive or sexually appealing. However, lingerie can also be designed with
comfort or even modesty in mind.
The word comes from a Latin word, lineus, which means “made from
linen
.” Lingerie was originally made from linen or
cotton
. Both men and women have worn an assortment of undergarments for hundreds of years. Most of the items linked with lingerie today, such as bras and panties,
are actually relatively modern, however. Most lingerie up to the 18th century was designed to provide an extra layer of insulation, or to address hygienic
and modesty issues. It tended to be simple, and often cumbersome in design.
In the 18th century, French courtesans started to realize the potential appeal of undergarments which were designed to titillate the viewer. Most other
members of society continued to wear plain lingerie in the form of corsets, petticoats, and slips. It wasn't until the 1960s that companies started to
manufacture lingerie with specifically ornamental purposes in mind, alongside more conventional lingerie garments.
Most modern lingerie falls into two camps. The first consists of undergarments which are designed with function or modesty in mind. Slips and
camisoles
, for example, are intended to be worn under over garments.
Foundation garments
help to smooth the figure, while bras provide support and coverage to the chest. While many of these garments may be attractive, their primary function
is to be unseen. Many nightclothes are designed to be warm and comfortable in bed or around the house, while house robes offer additional coverage. Cotton,
flannel, and comfort fabrics are often employed in the creation of these garments.
The second category of lingerie is more racy. It consists of garments which are designed for show. Many ornamental corsets, fancy bra and panty sets, and
nightgowns fall into this group. Short robes and dressy camisoles are also sewn with this in mind. Many of these garments can also be worn underneath regular
clothing, but they appear more frequently in the bedroom, and they are intended to spark interest in the wearer.
Silk
, lace, and synthetics are commonly used to make this type of lingerie.
Both types of lingerie are readily available at department stores and stores which specialize in the sale of lingerie. Some types of lingerie cannot be
tried on, due to hygiene issues, so women should be certain that they know their size before purchasing garments. When looking at lingerie to buy, women
may also want to consider how and when they will wear it, if the material the lingerie is made from looks comfortable, and what the care instructions for
the lingerie include.

helpful in choosing your bra
What Type of Bra is Right for Me?
definition
Many women wear bras which are not sized correctly, or are inappropriate for the activities they are engaging in. Choosing a bra can be difficult, especially
in a store with a wide assortment of available bras. There are several issues to take into account when choosing a bra which will make the process easier.
The first thing to think about while choosing a bra is how you will be using the bra. For exercise, a
sports bra
should be purchased. For wear under t-shirts and other form fitting garments, a seamless bra made from a smooth material is an excellent idea. Strapless
bras are designed to go with strapless garments and gowns. If you are pregnant, a maternity bra to accommodate your enlarged and often more tender chest
is a good acquisition, and nursing mothers should think about nursing bras, which make breastfeeding much easier.
Another consideration is the type of support offered. Larger breasted women should seek out underwire bras with large wings, while smaller breasted women
can get away with smaller underwires or an underwire free bra. Bras with straps which cross in the back offer much more support than conventional straight
strap bras, and the straps will be less likely to slide. Choosing a bra with the right level of support is very important, and do not be afraid to ask
for help.
Style is another issue when choosing a bra. Bras run the gamut from lacy dress-up bras which are intended for ornamental use to practical, very plain bras.
Most women like to have a few dressy bras available along with matching underwear for special occasions. Workhorse bras which are designed for long, comfortable
wear and practical looks are also an important part of the wardrobe. In addition, most women could benefit from choosing a selection of nude bras for wear
under sheer or light colored garments.
The materials used can also have an impact on choosing a bra. Most bras need to be hand washed. Women who want to be able to throw their bras in the washer
should seek out washer-safe bras, which are often made from
cotton
. Synthetic materials are much more common, although women may want to watch out for lace, which can get scratchy. While investigating the material for
care and comfort, women may also want to check on where the seams of the bra are, as seams can get uncomfortable after a long day.
Comfort is probably the most important thing when choosing a bra. A bra should never be uncomfortable to wear, and time should be taken while choosing a
bra to make sure that a bra fits properly. To fit a bra correctly, find someone to help you take measurements so that you can ensure that they are accurate.
Start by measuring the ribcage directly under the breasts. If the measurement is less than 33 inches (84 centimeters), add five inches (13 centimeters)
to it. For measurements over this amount, you need to add three inches (eight centimeters). This numerical measurement is the chest measurement, and you
can doublecheck it by measuring around your chest above your breasts. Your chest measurement should match the adjusted ribcage measurement.
Next, measure all the way around your chest at the widest point to determine your cup size. The difference between this measurement and the chest measurement
will reflect your cup size. In the United States, each inch (two and a half centimeters) of difference represents a letter. Most people fall in the range
of AA, A, B, C, D, or DD. Larger sizes are also available. Cup sizes may vary in other nations, although the lower sizes are fairly standardized.
When you are trying on a bra, check to see that all of the straps lie flat and even. There should be no buckling anywhere, and the straps should not dig
into your flesh. Stick a finger under the bra in the front to check for breathing room, and make sure that the cups are fully filled. The bra should feel
comfortable as you bend and twist in it. If the bra does not fit, ask for another size or style. Do not be ashamed of trying on an assortment of bras to
choose the right one, since comfort is crucial!

about shelf bra
What is a Shelf Bra?
define
There are two definitions for the term shelf bra. The first refers to a thick
elastic
band that supports under the breasts but does not cover the nipple. This type of bra may be used in
lingerie
sets. More commonly we see the term shelf bra used to describe a variety of built in bras in garments where wearing a bra would be difficult because of
thin straps.
The shelf bra of the first type is connected to eroticism and is not popular wear for all women. Since only minimal support is given, they may be particularly
unflattering to women with larger busts, since only a tiny amount of cup or sometimes no cup actually supports the breasts. They may thus be inadequate
to providing the support needed for daily wear. Women who would still like to reveal some cleavage might look to the demi-bra, which provides a greater
amount of cup support, with cups stopping just above the nipple.
In the second definition of the shelf bra, you will see this type featured in a variety of garments. Most common today are tank tops. The shelf bra has
long been a feature of swimsuits, for women who either want extra support or who would like to add a bit more feminine curve to their suits.
The simplest type of shelf bra simply has elasticized cups made of soft fabrics like
cotton
or
nylon
. Some may feature a small amount of padding for additional support. Another type of shelf bra, quite common in tank tops and swimsuits is the molded cup
style.
The molded cup shelf bra has a semi-hardened shape, which it retains even when you are not wearing the garment. The trouble is, women who wear similar sizes
may not all have the same breast size. A large, medium or small tank top with a molded cup shelf bra will not fit everyone the same way. While usually
women with breasts slightly larger than the molded cup can fit into this form of shelf bra, women with smaller breasts may run into some embarrassing issues.
Molded cups are firm, but they are not rigid. Hence, with a little bit of pressure you can deflate one of the cups. This is particularly common when you’re
engaging in swimming activities, as enough water pressure can easily dent a cup inward, if the cup is too large. This can necessitate racing back to the
changing room or a private area to push the cup back out. It’s recommended that you avoid the molded cup unless you can find one that fits well.
Occasionally, especially with the popularity of tight fitting spaghetti strap tank tops and
camisoles
, you may find these with a shelf bra in lingerie departments. These are sized according to cup size rather than by women’s clothing sizes. Again, most
still depend upon women of certain cup sizes fitting into certain clothing sizes. Yet you are more likely to find a well-fitting tank top with a shelf
bra in the lingerie department, than it is to find one in a standard ladies’ clothing department or store.

, you may find these with a shelf bra in lingerie departments. These are sized according to cup size rather than by women’s clothing sizes. Again, most
still depend upon women of certain cup sizes fitting into certain clothing sizes. Yet you are more likely to find a well-fitting tank top with a shelf
bra in the lingerie department, than it is to find one in a standard ladies’ clothing department or store.
about halter top
What is a Halter Top?
define
A halter top is a women's garment which uses a halter style neckline, involving a single strap around the neck, rather than two straps or sleeves over the
shoulders. The design exposes a large area of the upper back and shoulder blades, and is generally worn during warm weather. A halter top is also considered
to be a somewhat provocative garment, because of the large amount of skin which is exposed. A variety of materials can be used to make a halter top.
The halter neck style is very popular for women's tops and dresses. The strap around the neck can be attached in a number of ways. Frequently, a halter
neck is tied, but the strap can also be snapped or simply slipped over the head. The straps support the weight of the breasts. This is important for women
who do not wear a bra with a halter top, since the straps of the bra would show. On halter tops designed for women with larger busts, the top may have
additional reinforcement.
If choosing to wear a bra with a halter top, the bra is usually strapless. Women may find it helpful to bring a halter top along to a
lingerie
store while they try on bras, to determine whether or not they will work with halter tops.
Materials used for a halter top are often stretchy, to allow for freedom of movement. Knits are the most common choice, usually from a natural fiber like
cotton
. Woven cotton halter tops are designed for more formal occasions, and synthetic fibers can also be used to create a desired look. Crochet and lace halter
tops are worn by more daring women, and some knitters make their own for a custom fit.
The halter dress is a favorite variation on the halter top. Halter dresses can be full length formal gowns, or more casual knee length summer frocks designed
for casual wear. A variety of cuts and waistlines are available to flatter various figures. Sashes and other accessories are sometimes sold with a halter
dress as well.
In addition to finding a halter top in a department store, it is also relatively easy to make one. Numerous patterns for making a halter top can be found
by using your favorite search engine, and many of them are very basic. A halter top can be hand or machine sewn, and ambitious knitters can also find knitting
patterns for halter tops.

about bustier
What is a Bustier?define
A bustier is a piece of women's clothing which can be worn as an undergarment or an over garment, depending on style and personal taste. It is usually classified
as
lingerie
, and is also associated with sex appeal. Many lingerie stores sell bustiers, which should be custom fitted for the best look, just like a bra. When trying
on a bustier, pay close attention to how the garment feels on the body, strained seams, and the fit in the chest area. The bustier may require some adjustment
to fit properly, or it may be the wrong size. Take the time to fit a bustier properly for comfort.
The design of a bustier resembles a
corset
, although it tends to be less restrictive. The garment extends from the bosom to the waistline, and is lightly boned. A bustier serves two primary functions.
The first function offers support to the breasts, both making the wearer more comfortable and creating cleavage. A bustier also shapes the waistline slightly.
The fuller version of a bustier is known as a basque. A basque extends down to the hips, smoothing the body from bosom to hips. This garment is also not
as restrictive as a true corset, but it is more limiting than a bustier. However, wearing a basque ensures that the entire waistline is smoothed, which
some women prefer.
When worn as an undergarment, a bustier is generally intended to shape and smooth the body. Numerous garments can be worn over a bustier, although care
should be taken to ensure that the seams and patterns of the bustier do not show through, unless this is a deliberately desired effect. As an undergarment,
a bustier may also be worn with a slip, to smooth the seams of the bustier and ease the transition to the lower body.
A bustier can also be used as outerwear. In public, formal bustiers may be worn over dresses or long skirts. Depending on personal taste, the midriff may
be left bared or covered. A formal bustier tends to be thick, so that flesh is not seen underneath, and it can potentially be worn at events such as gala
openings, dances, and dinner parties.
Bustiers designed for the bedroom tend to be much more lacy and fanciful. The focus is on form, rather than function, and the bustier may integrate transparent
elements, embroidery, decorative ribbons, and other ornaments which would seem out of place on other types of bustier. A bustier worn as lingerie can run
the gamut from very risque to tasteful, and can be worn with an assortment of other garments as well.

about girdles
What is a Girdle?health wellness
In today’s usage, a girdle is most commonly known as a support garment worn by women to give the overall appearance of a flat tummy and more shapely buttocks.
It is often called support underwear, or support panties. Many nylons incorporate girdle elements or control top support, like strong
elastic
around the stomach and the hips, which make wearing the girdle superfluous and less popular.
Actually, earlier girdles, prior to the advent of nylons generally did not have a panty component. They were a tight garment, made to flatten the tummy.
They often had straps, which attached to the top of thigh high stockings and thus held them up. The word girdle actually predates this sort of garment
as well. A girdle was quite simply in Ancient Greece and Rome, a thin belt worn around the waist, most often by men.
In the Middle Ages, women or men might wear such a belt. One famous mention of the girdle in English Literature is in the West-Midland English Poem, “Sir
Gawain
and The Green Knight.” The wife of the Green Knight offers Sir Gawain the red girdle wrapped round her waist that is supposed to protect one from injury.
Men or women may still wear certain types of girdles as a form of back support. However, since the term has come to be associated more with women than men,
a girdle of this type might simply be called a back supporting belt. It is, however, truly a girdle.
The girdle replaced the more restrictive
corset
worn by women. It still provided some waist control and tummy control, but did not cinch the waist in as tightly as corseting did. This resulted in a more
comfortable garment, though many a woman still finds the pressure from a girdle or shape underwear too tight for comfort.
Some girdles with an underwear component do reach above the waist, and may start just below the breasts to give the appearance of a smaller waist. Other
girdles are more like teddies. They incorporate a bra with underwire, and underpants in one garment. These may be harder to fit on women who have a greater
distribution of weight on top than on bottom, or vice versa.
The modern girdle has benefited from the development of Lycra, which is lightweight and can push the stomach or buttocks in with relative ease. Wearing
too small a girdle, however, generally does not accomplish much. Excess skin or fat is usually merely pushed above or below the girdle.
A girdle, control panties or control top hosiery may provide a little support, and may be especially helpful in close and formfitting clothing. Many women
prefer a natural shape and more comfortable underwear. Hence popularity in traditional girdles has significantly declined.

about skirts
What are Different Shapes of Skirts?
Skirts are an important part of women's fashion. Extremely versatile, skirts can be dressed up or down to look fancy or casual for every occasion from a
business meeting to a dinner date. Some of the many different shapes of skirts include
bias cut
, full, mini, A-line or princess, tulip, and pencil.
The pencil skirt
, shaped long and straight like a pencil, was inspired by the
hobble skirt
of 1910. The hobble skirt was designed by Paul Poiret and was unpopular due to its overly-tight, leg constricting shape. The hobble skirt was modified
into the straighter, looser pencil skirt by 1915 and the pencil skirt, both short and long, is still popular today.
Shorter versions of the classic pencil skirt reach just above the knee and can be worn anywhere such as to work with a blouse and pumps, to a party with
fancy sandals and a glitzy top, and on the weekend with tights, flats or boots, and a sweater. Long versions in
cashmere
or jersey are especially comfortable. Pencil skirts can be flattering to all figure types. A dark pencil skirt worn with a dark or medium-colored top that
rests just above the hips can be visually slimming to a fuller figure.
Tulip skirts have more fabric around the hips than pencil skirts, giving them the shape of an inverted tulip. Tulip skirts look good on most figure types,
especially slender figures as tulip skirt fabric tends to add a little extra bulk around the hips. A-line skirts, also called princess skirts, can be especially
flattering to plus-size figures, but can be worn well by all figure shapes. An A-line skirt is shaped like a capital letter "A", with a snug waist spreading
out into a triangular shape. A-line/princess skirts are considered a wardrobe staple, especially in a neutral color and a season-spanning fabric such as
lightweight
wool.
Miniskirts
hit the fashion scene in London in 1966 and the ultra-short
miniskirt
is still worn by those who "dare to bare." The miniskirt is often considered the sexiest skirt shape. Miniskirts can be a very simple shape or can be pleated,
but are always very short, and are available in a wide range of materials including
denim,
cotton
, leather, and wool.
Full skirts have even more fullness in their fabric than tulip skirts and can overwhelm a petite figure or add more fullness to a full figure. Full skirts
often balance out a slim-waisted, full-busted figure. Drop-waisted full skirts with fabric that flows from the hips into soft pleats can be very flattering
to a plus-sized figure type.
Bias cut skirts are cut across the fabric's grain on the diagonal. Cutting on the bias creates a flowing hemline that can seem ultra-feminine and romantic.
Bias cut skirts can be long or short and have panels or multi-layers.

Before You Buy A Bra
Before You Buy A Bra
Buying a bra may seem simple, but it is actually quite complex. First and foremost it is essential that you
know your correct size
. A proper fitting bra is important for both comfort and posture and is especially important during the teen years when your body is growing. A poorly fitting
bra can cause back problems, muscle tension, and even headaches. Since teens are still growing, the strains caused by an improperly fit bra can lead to
life long problems with posture and back pain. For this reason, teens should be fit by a lingerie consultant at least twice a year or, preferably, after
every noticeable growth spurt. Another important consideration is the reason the bra is needed; is it for support, coverage, comfort or athletics? There
are different styles of bras designed for specific body types, fashions and activities and they come in a variety of fabrics. Despite popular misconceptions,
no one bra can "do it all".
First/Training Bras
Training bras are are for young girls who have started to develop breasts but who do not yet fit the standard bra sizes. A young girl who has started to
develop should wear a training bra, but there is no harm in letting a girl get one before there is a real need. Remember, training bras are intended for
girls of any age who have started to get breasts and who are not yet able to be fitted with a regular bra. If your breast size warrants a full fitting
bra you should wear one, even if you are very young.
Light Support Bras
Light support bras usually have no underwire and are good for girls with smaller breasts. They are less constricting than full support bras and many girls
feel that they are more comfortable. Because they are wireless they offer less shaping than other bras and are most flattering on trimmer figures. These
bras come in padded and unpadded versions; which you choose is really a matter of personal preference.
Full Support Bras
Full support bras usually have an underwire or plastic boning holding them up. They can be worn by women of any breast size and are a must for those with
larger cup sizes. These bras offer a shapely cut and are built more like bikini tops than underwear. These also come in padded or unpadded version and
are flattering on any figure type.
Push Up Bras
Once called "padded bras" this is the category that the world famous Wonderbra falls under. These bras lift the breasts and add shape them with extra padding.
Some more innovative push up bras use silicone inserts or water sacks to imitate the fullness of a natural breasts. They are said to "lift and separate"
creating a full cleavage look on breasts of all sizes. These bras always offer lots of support.
Sports Bras
This is the most uncelebrated of the bras, and ironically, it is probably the most important one for growing teens to have. Sports bras do more than offer
full support, they also stop the breasts from moving during athletic activity. Breast tissue is very delicate and the growing tissue of the teen breast
needs to be protected during high impact exercise. Even girls with smaller breasts should invest in a good sports bra if they take physical education or
participate in sports.

female condom
Female condoms
Alternative Names
Condoms for women
Information
The female condom, like the male condom, is a barrier device used for birth control. It is also protective against STDs including HIV. However, it is not thought to be as effective for this purpose as the male condom.
The female condom is made of polyurethane (a thin, strong plastic) and fits inside the vagina. The condom has a ring on each end. The ring that is placed inside the vagina fits over the cervix, covering it with the protective rubber material. The other ring, which is open, rests outside of the vagina and covers the vulva.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS IT?
The estimated effectiveness of the female condom is between 75% and 82%. The reasons for failure are the same as those for the male condom:list of 5 items
• A rip or tear in a condom (can be made before or during intercourse)
• Spillage of semen from a condom while removing it
• Delayed placement of a condom in the vagina (penis comes into contact with vagina before condom is in place)
• Rarely, failure due to manufacturing defects
• Failure to use a condom during each act of intercourselist end
CONVENIENCElist of 3 items
• Condoms are available without a prescription, and they are fairly inexpensive (though more expensive than male condoms).
• Currently, female condoms can be purchased at most drugstores. They are also available at most sexually transmitted diseases (STD) clinics, or clinicsspecializing in family planning.
• Some planning may be needed in order to have a condom handy at the time of intercourse. However, they may be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse.You may also incorporate the insertion of the condom into your lovemaking.

• Can be used during menstruation, or pregnancy, or after a recent child birth.list end
DETRIMENTAL SIDE EFFECTSlist of 5 items
• There is no direct contact between the penis and the vagina.

your bride your treasure
take your time! A lot of guys have forgotten how to do this, according to the women we polled. This is a special moment, and special occasionsrequire extra care. Pay attention to this detail, and you will both be rewarded. But be careful not to appear to fake and staged. Be genuine and sincere.Try to convey to your bride that this isn’t just a routine romp in the hay. She is worth the time and effort. A good analogy is eating at an expensiverestaurant. You don’t wolf the food down in a single bite. You take the time to enjoy every last morsel; every single course is savored and remembered.Use this analogy and put it to work while you are making love with your new wife. Start by slowly undressing your new wife out of her gown. Take a moment to enjoy here lingerie that she spent days picking out for you. This can help buildup the sexual tension and romance. Tell her how beautiful and sexy she looks. Chances are she’ll be too tired to undress herself anyways. Since both ofyou are probably exhausted from all the wedding festivities; it might be nice to start off with long warm bath. Add some bath salts/suds and light a fewcandles. Play some soft music and take time to talk about your wonderful day while you soak in the bubble bath. If you can swing them, scented candlesare the best way to go. Lavender scented candles are sure to please both your senses. As far as suds and salts, check out Body Shop or Bath and Body Worksfor some nice selections. A lot of kissing, touching, and caressing in the tub is highly recommended. The bath will relax both of you, and dissolve anyuneasy feelings you might have. It’s also a good way to get romantically energized for the night’s main event. After your bath, put on those soft and fuzzyhotel robes and take some time to indulge in all of the items you have placed inside the bedroom. Sip on the champagne, nibble on some chocolate and fruit,and listen to some music. Toast your love and new life together. The rest of the night should be pretty self-explanatory from here. But in case you might have forgotten, we’ll give you a quick lesson on where women wantto be touched and kissed:
• The Neck
• The Inner thighs (A hot spot for a lot of women. Don’t neglect it.)
• Legs and Feet
• Buttocks (duh)
• Arms (Caressing a women’s arms can leave them at your mercy.)
• Back of the Knees (A neglected hot spot.)
• Breasts (These aren’t toys. Regardless of how big or small they are, make sure you handle them with great care. Don’t grab the nipples like they’re aTV turn-knobs. Nipples are for caressing and kissing. Attend to them with great care.)
For the Virgin in the House:You are a dying breed. You have waited so long!! The expectations may be high. Not to kill your hopes, but the first time may be not be what you had expected.Don’t worry! It gets a lot better. You have plenty of time to enjoy each other, so take it slow. Don’t try out every move you learned from Ron Jeremy.If you don’t know who Ron Jeremy is, you should rent a few of his movies so you can learn the basics. The key for you is going to be foreplay. If she’sa virgin too, she’s not going to be ready to just go at it. So, start with the foot massage, kiss her neck, and slowly remove her dress. Take a momentto enjoy here lingerie that she spent days picking out for you. Tell her how beautiful and sexy she looks. A lot of virgins will be nervous about whattheir new bride might think of their performance. Women understand that the pressure can be overwhelming, and usually are just happy to form an intimatebond with their new spouse. If your bride is a virgin as well, then “no worries;” there aren’t any expectations. Chances are she’s concerned about performingfor you as well. So, reassure her, make her comfortable and just enjoy exploring together. There is plenty of time to get better at lovemaking, and oneof the great things about being a married couple is that you can learn together. Keep in mind that your new wife picked you to her husband for many reasons.Life is a lot more then just sex, and she understands this. Practice makes perfect.

existed in India..and now in the same country with the new generation next ON,he new buzzword is ipill.The first openly marketed,over the counter emergency
contraceptive in India.
Teenage sex has grown in India at a rate beyond anyones wildest expectation.New research indicate that India has the largest number of teenage sex,but proportionately
only a very few number of pregnancies.This is mainly because of the extra protection couples take because they would be social outcasts if the news of
a pregnancy breakout.
The ipill brings the next round of prevention that can change the complexion of sex in India.
What is an emergency contraceptive pill?
An emergency contraceptive pill is a safe and easy way to prevent an unintended pregnancy from occurring after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
What is i-pill?
i-pill is an emergency contraceptive pill manufactured by Cipla. A single dose of i-pill provides a safe and easy way to prevent an unintended pregnancy
after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
When is it appropriate to use i-pill?
If you have had unprotected sex and want to prevent a pregnancy, you should take i-pill as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours and no later than
72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
i-pill is useful as a backup birth control method under following circumstances:
list of 4 items
• Contraceptive failure
• Unprotected sex
• Improper use of your regular birth control method
• Forced sex
list end
What are the directions for using i-pill?
i-pill is a single dose tablet to be taken orally. It should be swallowed with some water after a meal. i-pill should be taken as early as possible and
not later than 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
When is it not appropriate to use i-pill?
i-pill will not work if you are already pregnant because it is only a backup or emergency method of contraception. It is not a substitute for regular contraceptive
methods. i-pill will not be effective if taken 72 hours after unprotected sex.
i-pill is not recommended if you are allergic to levonorgestrel, which is the name of the medicine in i-pill
Who can use i-pill?
i-pill can be used by any woman of child-bearing age and is facing the prospect of an unintended pregnancy due to absence or failure to use a contraceptive.
It can also be used in the case of rape or forced sex
Do I require to get a check up by my doctor before taking i-pill?
A medical check-up is not required for taking i-pill. However, if you are suffering from any serious ailment or have a known allergy to levonorgestrel,
it is advisable to consult your doctor.
How does i-pill work?
i-pill can work in any of three different ways depending on where you may be in your menstrual cycle.
list of 3 items
• It may stop an egg being released from the ovary.
• If an egg has been released, i-pill may prevent the sperm from fertilizing it.
• If the egg is already fertilized, it may prevent it from attaching itself to the lining of the womb.
list end
It is important to note that pregnancy is established only after the fertilized egg attaches itself to the womb.
i-pill is ineffective if the pregnancy is established (i.e. the fertilized egg has attached itself to the womb). It is therefore not an abortion pill.
How is an 'emergency contraceptive pill' different from an 'abortion pill'?
In medical terms pregnancy begins once the fertilized egg gets attached to the lining of the womb.
Abortion pills contain drugs known as antiprogestins, which stop the development of a pregnancy after it has occurred.
On the other hand, emergency contraceptive pills like i-pill , which contain common female hormones prevent pregnancy in the first place and so do not cause
an abortion.
How can I get the best results from i-pill?
i-pill works best when used as early as possible after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, but not later than 72 hours.
How effective is i-pill?
The sooner you use i-pill, the more effective it is. It is 95% effective within 24 hours of unprotected sex, 85% between 25 - 48 hours and 58% if taken
between 49 - 72 hours . But if your periods are delayed by more than a week, you should go in for a pregnancy test and contact your doctor.
Will I experience any side effects from i-pill?
i-pill has no long-term or serious side effects, and is safe to use for almost every woman.
Nausea, vomiting and headache are some common side effects after taking i-pill. You might also have some lower abdominal pain or find your breasts more
tender than usual. All this should stop within a day or two. There are chances of unexpected vaginal bleeding, but this is not dangerous and should clear
up by the time you have your next period. i-pill might also cause your next period to come early or later than normal. But if your periods are delayed
by more than a week, you should go in for a pregnancy test and contact your doctor. i-pill will have no lasting effect that may complicate future (and
wanted) pregnancies.
i-pill is not recommended if you are allergic to levonorgestrel, which is the name of the medicine in i-pill.
Are there any warnings I should know about before I use i-pill?
You need to know the following things before taking i-pill:
list of 4 items
• i-pill works best when used as early as possible after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, but not later than 72 hours.
• i-pill is ineffective if you are already pregnant.
• It should also not be used as a regular birth control method.
• i-pill does not offer protection against HIV/AIDS or other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs
list end
How will I know if i-pill worked?
There is no concrete evidence or symptoms to know whether i-pill worked or not. After taking i-pill you need to wait and anticipate your next menstrual
period at the expected time or within a week of the expected time. In case your menstrual period is delayed beyond one week, it is advisable to get a pregnancy
test and consult your doctor.
Can I use i-pill for regular birth control?
No. i-pill is not recommended for regular birth control. It is effective when used as a backup method after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Make
sure you do not replace your regular birth control pill with i-pill.
How often can I use i-pill or can i-pill be used repeatedly?
i-pill can be used more than once in a cycle but it is recommended only as an emergency contraceptive.
There are several reasons why i-pill is not a logical choice for regular contraception:
list of 2 items
• any method of regular contraception is more effective than repeated use of an EC
• long-term overuse can cause irregular menstrual cycles
list end
it can cause annoying side effects like nausea and vomiting
Make sure you continue to use regular methods of contraception for preventing unintended pregnancies.
What if I am already pregnant and use i-pill?
i-pill does not work if you are already pregnant. If you take i-pill while you are already pregnant, there will be no harm to you or your foetus.
What should I do if my menstrual period is delayed beyond one week and I have severe lower stomach pain?
Under such circumstances it is essential you consult your doctor immediately since this may require immediate medical attention.
When will I get my periods after I use i-pill?
Your next period should come on time but it may be a few days early or a few days late. However, in case your period is delayed by more than a week, please
go in for a pregnancy test and contact your doctor.
Can I use i-pill if I am breast feeding?
i-pill is safe during breast-feeding. Using i-pill is unlikely to have any significant effect on milk quality that can affect the infant adversely.
Can I continue my pregnancy in case of emergency contraception failure?
If you wish to do so, you can continue with your pregnancy. The medicine used in i-pill will not cause any harm to you or your baby. In case you do not
wish to continue your pregnancy, please consult your doctor.
How do I get i-pill?
i-pill is available over the counter at your local chemist outlet. You do not need a doctor's prescription to buy i-pill.
Controversy
The ipill has has already kicked of a controversy with many doctors expressing that it will have adverse effects on teenagers.This is only partly correct
and the adverse effect of the progesterone which is the active content in ipill is only marginal and is of not much significance compared to the advantages..The
content of ipill is essentially same as that of an oral contraceptive pill,with a higher dose.so the adverse effect is much the same as a OCP.But regular
use has to be avoided as in the case of teens taking ipill regularly after sex with a condom to make ‘doubly’safe.

157. We think we cannot see at night. But given enough time to adjust, the human eye can, for a time, see almost as well as an owl's. Ultimately,
as the amount of light decreases, an owl detects shapes after a human no longer can.
158. When astronauts remain weightless in space for prolonged periods, scientists have discovered their bones lose a measurable amount of weight
and thickness. This means that weightlessness actually cause human beings to shrink.

161. The human hand contains an average of 1,300 nerve endings per square inch.
162. Over the many centuries of living in the Arctic, Eskimos' bodies have adapted to the cold. Eskimos tend to be short and squat, which brings
their arms and legs closer to the heart, so there is less danger of freezing. Extra fat around the torso protects their internal organs from the cold.
The metabolism of Eskimos is also set a little higher than other people's. As a result, they burn their food faster to stay warm. Their veins and arteries
are also arranged to carry more warming blood to their hands.
163. When we smile broadly, we use seventeen muscles.
164. The human hand has 27 bones and 35 muscles.
165. Pain from any injury or illness is always registered by the brain. Yet, curiously, the brain tissue itself is immune to pain; it contains none
of the specialized receptor cells that sense pain in other parts of the body. The pain associated with brain tumors does not arise from brain cells but
from the pressure created by a growing tumor or tissues outside the brain.
166. When you have a black eye, you have a bilateral periorbital hematoma.
167. The human heart beats about 70 times per minute, the shrew's 600 times a minute, a hummingbird's heart can beat up to 1,300 times per minute.

a price on his head; apple of his eye; snap his head off; put your foot down; shoulder to the wheel; you're pulling my leg; stick your neck out; twist
around your little finger; heart-to-heart talk; keep your head above water. The list goes on and on.

175. While reading a page of print, the eyes do not move continually across the page. They move in a series of jumps, called "fixations," from one
clump of words to the next.
176. The human sense of smell is so keen that it can detect the odors of certain substances even when they are diluted to 1 part to 30 billion.
177. Per "Longevity" magazine, a number of plastic surgeons now require their prospective patients to undergo a series of psychological tests to
determine if they will become emotionally unstable, excessively anxious, or threatening to the doctor following their cosmetic surgery.
178. Whispering is more wearing on your voice than a normal speaking tone. Whispering and shouting stretch the vocal cords.

prescription drugs.
181. Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
182. The human tongue tastes bitter things with the taste buds toward the back. Salty and pungent flavors are detected at the middle of the tongue,
sweet flavors at the tip.
183. Permanent hearing loss can result from prolonged exposure to sounds at 85 decibels (0 decibels is the threshold for hearing). For comparison,
a busy street corner is about 80 decibels, a subway train from 20 feet is 100 decibels, a jet plane from 500 feet is 110 decibels and loud thunder is 120
decibels. A rock band amplified at close range is 140 decibels, which is 100 trillion times threshold and more than 100,000 times as loud as the level
that will produce permanent hearing loss.
184. The hydrochloric acid of the human digestive process is so strong a corrosive that it easily can eat its way through a cotton handkerchief,
and even through the iron of an automobile body. Yet, it doesn't endanger the stomach's sticky mucus walls.
185. Perspiration is odorless. It is the bacteria on the skin that creates an odor
186. Pigs, dogs, and some other animals can taste water, but people cannot. Humans don't actually taste the water, they taste the chemicals and
impurities in the water.
187. Women navigate by landmarks and visual memories. Men navigate by direction and distance, and tend to be better at reading maps.
188. Women reject heart transplants more often than men.
189. The indentation in the middle area between the nose and the upper lip is called the Philtrum. Ancient Greeks considered this to be one of the
body's most erogenous zones.
190. You blink every 2-10 seconds. As you focus on each word in this sentence, your eyes swing back and forth 100 times a second, and every second,

195. Quaaludes were first developed to fight malaria. .
196. You will get fewer cavities if you eat a bag of candy in one sitting and then brush your teeth than if you slowly eat the candy a piece at
a time all day

two days. Unpleasant moments had the opposite effect: negative events, such as being criticized at work, weakened the immune function for one day afterward.
205. The little lump of flesh just forward of your ear canal, right next to your temple, is called a tragus.
206. Researchers looked at more than 400 non-food choking deaths in children over a 20-year period, and found that most were caused by balloons
(29 percent) and balls and marbles (19 percent). More older children died from balloons than did toddlers.
207. The liver is a gland, not an organ.
208. Scientists estimate that there are 3 million to 4 million genes in each human cell, and yet they have been able to identify one particular

210. Scientists estimate that they could fill a 1,000-volume encyclopedia with the coded instructions in the
DNA of a single human cell if the instructions could be translated to English.
211. The longest muscle in the human body is the sartorius. This narrow muscle of the thigh passes obliquely across the front of the thigh and helps
rotate the leg to the position assumed in sitting cross-legged. Its name is a derivation of the adjective "sartorial," a reference to what was the traditional
cross-legged position of tailors (or "sartors") at work.
212. Scientists have found chocolate has a chemical that helps counteract depression.
213. Scientists have found that the skin of the armpits can harbor up to 516,000 bacteria per square inch, while drier areas, such as the forearm,
have only about 13,000 bacteria per square inch.

216. Scientists say that people who sleep less than average (less than 6 hours a night) are more organized and efficient than everybody else.
217. The mineral content, porosity, and general makeup of human bone is nearly identical to some species of South Pacific coral. The two are so
alike that plastic surgeons are using the coral to replace lost human bone in facial reconstructions.
218. Seeing another person yawn makes it likely that you will yawn yourself. Thinking about, even reading about yawning can set you off. People
with mental disorders such as psychoses rarely yawn.
219. The mouth produces a quart of saliva a day.
220. Senior citizens are at greater risk for dehydration than younger people because their bodies are less effective at letting them know when they
need water.
221. The National Institute of Mental Health places fear of flying (aerophobia), second only to fear of public speaking.
222. Sight accounts for 90 to 95 percent of all sensory perceptions.

226. Small animals like bats and shrews consume up to one and one half times their body weight in food every day. For an adult male, this would
be like eating 1,000 quarter-pound cheeseburgers a day, every day; or about 50 Thanksgiving dinners a day.
227. The older a person gets the less sleep he/she requires. A child should get from 8 to 10 hours a night. An elderly adult can do well with 4
to 6 hours.
228. Snacking accounts for 15 to 20 percent of Americans' daily caloric intake.
229. The oldest way to lose weight is fasting --- the ultimate diet.
230. Someone who speaks through clenched teeth is called a dentiloquist.
231. The only part of the human body that has no blood supply is the cornea. It takes its oxygen directly from the air.
232. Someone with an irrational fear of meat is "carnophobic."
233. Sounds too low for human beings to hear are called infrasonic.
234. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet contain more sweat glands than any other part of the body.
235. The pituitary gland - responsible for producing the hormone that regulates growth - is only the size of a pea and weighs little more than a
small paper clip.
236. Soviet doctors have noticed a tendency by people living near Chernobyl to blame any and all ills on radiation — an affliction they are calling
"radiophobia."

number of births taking place during the waning moon than during a waxing moon.
239. The right lung takes in more air than the left.
240. Stress may be good for people. Rockefeller University scientists have determined that an acute episode of stress boosts immunity, offering
better protection against infection. The fact that people don’t usually catch a cold until a crisis is over may be due to the fact that humans have acute
elevations in stress hormones, thus elevating the body's immune response.
241. The Romans had three words for kissing: basium was the kiss exchanged by acquaintances; osculum, the kiss between close friends; and suavium,
the kiss between lovers.
242. Studies show that one out of every 3,000 children has some form of autistic disorder.
243. The rush of air produced by a cough moves at a speed approaching 600 miles per hour.
244. Sweat itself is odorless, only when combined with bacteria that are breaking down dead skin cells does it become smelly. Smelly sweat is called
bromohidrosis. Sweat is composed of water, sodium chloride, potassium salts, urea, and lactic acid.
245. The sensitivity of the human eye is so keen that on a clear, moonless night, a person standing on a mountain can see a match being struck as
far as 50 miles away. Much to their amazement, astronauts in orbit were able to see the wakes of ships.
246. Swimming a quarter of a mile is roughly equal to running one mile.
247. Grey (or white) is merely the base "colour" of hair. Pigment cells located at the base of each hair follicle produce the natural dominant colour
of our youth. However, as a person grows older and reaches middle age, more and more of these pigment cells die and colour is lost from individual hairs.
The result is that a person's hair gradually begins to show more and more grey.
248. There is enough Iron in a human to make a small nail
249. The Lump of Flesh just forward of your ear canal next to your temple, is called a tragus
250. A Shank is the part of the sole between the heel and the ball of the foot.
251. The Talus is the second largest bone in the foot
252. The two most common surgeries are Biopsies and Cesarean sections
253. Approximately l3% to 15% of the U.S. population has one or more phobias in a given year (this includes social and specific phobias and agoraphobia).
254. Specific phobias occur in people of all ages. The average age of onset for social phobia is between 15 and 20 years of age, although it can
often begin in childhood.
255. Although the brain accounts for only 2% of the whole body's mass, it uses 20% of all the oxygen we breathe. A continuous supply of oxygen is
necessary for survival. A loss of oxygen for 10 minutes can result in significant neural damage.
256. Parts of the brain of a severely abused and neglected child can be substantially smaller than that of a healthy child.
257. It is estimated that a baby loses about half their neurons before they are born. This process is sometimes referred to as pruning and may eliminate
neurons that do not receive sufficient input from other neurons.
258. A study showed that when mothers frequently spoke to their infants, their children learned about 300
more words by age two than did children whose mothers rarely spoke to them.
259. Birdsong and human speech have similar characteristics. Birds, like humans, learn their complex vocalizations early in life and imitate their
adult counterparts to acquire these skills. These two species have evolved a complex hierarchy of specialized forebrain areas where motor and auditory
areas interact continuously in order to produce detailed vocalizations.
260. The optic nerve exits the retina as a single bundle. The exit point within the retina has no receptor cells. This location forms a blind spot
in each eye. We rarely notice these spots because they do not overlap within the image formed by the two eyes. Your ophthalmologist can only detect your
blind spots by having you close the eye not being tested.
261. The effects of a stroke depend on the affected blood vessel and the area of brain that it supplies with nutrients. For instance, if the middle
cerebral artery is occluded, motor areas in the frontal cortex can be damaged resulting in the loss of voluntary muscle movements on the contralateral,
or opposite, side of the body from the damaged side of the brain. This condition is known as hemiplegia.
262. Strokes or "brain attacks" are the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. A stroke occurs when the blood flow to the brain is disrupted.
Disruption takes place either when a brain artery is blocked or when an artery explodes. Recently, exciting medical breakthroughs have been announced with
respect to treating stroke.
263. Electroencephalogram, or EEG, is a non-invasive technique used to record small changes of electrical activity in the brain with surface electrodes
on the scalp. Scientists who study sleep find EEG especially useful. The tiny fluctuations detected with EEG are clear indicators of whether a person is
asleep, aroused, or somewhere in between.
264. Approximately 20% of the blood flowing from the heart is pumped to the brain. The brain needs constant blood flow in order to keep up with
the heavy metabolic demands of the neurons. Brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) rely on this relationship between
neural activity and blood flow to produce images of deduced brain activity.
265. Although the brain accounts for only 2% of the whole body's mass, it uses 20% of all the oxygen we breathe. A continuous supply of oxygen is
necessary for survival. A loss of oxygen for 10 minutes can result in significant neural damage.
266. Measures of brain activity show that during the second half of a child's first year, the prefrontal cortex, the seat of forethought and logic,
forms synapses at such a rate that it consumes twice as much energy as an adult brain. That furious pace continues for the child's first decade of life.
267. The pufferfish, parts of which are eaten as a delicacy in Japan, contains a potent neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin. This toxin blocks sodium
channels necessary for the conduction of neural activity. Tetrodotoxin can cause death in approximately 60% of the people who ingest it.
268. Commisurotomy, the transection of the corpus callosum, is one possible treatment for patients with severe epilepsy. This procedure causes a
complete split between the two hemispheres of the brain. As a result of this split, words presented to the patient's far left visual field cannot be read
(alexia), and hidden objects placed into the left hand cannot be named (anomia). This is significant evidence for hemispheric specialization.
269. During the first month of life, the number of connections or synapses, dramatically increases from 50 trillion to 1 quadrillion. If an infant's
body grew at a comparable rate, his weight would increase from 8.5 pounds at birth to 170 pounds at one month old.
270. Did you know that healthy ears actually emit sounds? These sounds are usually very soft, but can occasionally be heard by others. Surprisingly,
the sounds are rarely heard by the person whose ear is emitting the sounds! The cause of these sounds is still under debate, but is thought by some to
be due to input from the central nervous system.
271. Nearsightedness (myopia) is the most common visual problem we experience. It is the result of an overly elongated eye, which has become specialized
for seeing near objects extremely well.
272. Yawning is an age-old activity that occurs in reptiles, birds and, of course, mammals. This behavior is controlled by chemicals in the brain
called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters, such as nitric oxide and dopamine, act in the hypothalamus to induce and control yawning.
273. The light-detecting receptor cells within the retina, called rods and cones, are actually at the back of the retina under several layers of
cells. The neurons and support cells within the retina are fairly translucent, so light is able to pass through them and reach the receptors.
274. Because receptors (rods and cones) are at the back of the retina, an image actually passes through the retina three times: as light to the
receptor cells (back); as neural signals through the initial visual processing of the retina (forward); as neural signals via the optic nerve to the brain
(back again).
275. The human cerebellum, or "little brain", weighs about 150 grams. Located at the lower back of the brain, the cerebellum is key to maintaining
posture, walking, and performing coordinated movements. It is also thought to play a role in olfaction or smell.
276. Nearsighted people can often read the lettering on distant signs by looking through a small hole with one eye. The hole focuses the light entering
the eye and replaces the function of the eye's own lens.
277. Olfactory receptor cells, the neurons in our nose that allow us to smell, are neurons that can regenerate throughout life. Although these cells
are continually being born and dying, they maintain the same connections as their ancestors. The result is that once we learn a smell, it always smells
the same to us -- despite the fact that there are always new neurons smelling it!
278. Children as young as four days old can distinguish the vowel sounds of the language in their natural environment from those of a foreign language.
279. It has been estimated that about one million people in the United States have acquired aphasia. Aphasia is an impairment of the ability to
use or comprehend words, usually acquired as a result of a stroke or other brain injury. There are several different types of aphasia depending on the
location of the brain injury. There is currently no drug treatment for aphasia although surgery and speech therapy are sometimes successfully used as treatment.
280. At night, our peripheral vision is better than our foveal (straight on) vision. Hikers at night do better when they look slightly above the
trail, and airplane pilots are taught to look for traffic out of the sides of their eyes. This is because our rod cells, photoreceptors that respond best
to dim light, are located mostly in the periphery of the retina.
281. The pupillary light reflex results when light is shined into either eye causing both pupils to constrict. Doctors use this reflex to determine
if the reflex pathway through the midbrain has in any way been disrupted. If the reflex fails to produce a response in one or both eyes, the doctor can
deduce the location of the malfunction based on which of the eyes failed to respond and which eye was stimulated.
282. Reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents.
283. Research shows brain growth contains its own rhythm. Certain skills come into preeminence for a period of intensive networking. At three months,
the visual cortex dominates synapse formation.
284. 0.5% of the general population has epilepsy. But it is estimated that one in 20 people will have at least one seizure during the course of
their life. While seizures are characteristic of epilepsy, having a single seizure does not, in itself, constitute epilepsy. The effects of seizures can
vary from complete loss of consciousness to mild shakes or loss of balance.
285. A child's ability to learn can increase or decrease by 25 percent or more, depending on whether he or she grows up in a stimulating environment.
286. Scratching an itch is a puzzling biological response, because it seems to hinder rather than help a wound's healing. One theory of why we itch
suggests that scratching stimulates the release of endorphins, naturally occurring opiates which block pain sensation. Because scratching injures our skin
a little more, we
release a flood of endorphins to block the pain of the initial injury more effectively.
287. It's no accident that telephone numbers in the United States are seven digits long. Our working memory, a very short-term form of memory which
stores ideas just long enough for us to understand them, can hold on average a maximum of seven digits. This allows you to look up a phone number and remember
it just long enough to dial.
288. Up to the age of six or seven months, a child can breathe and swallow at the same time. An adult cannot do this.
289. The human being is the longest-lived of all existing mammals.
290. One square inch of skin on the human hand contains some 72 feet of nerve fiber
291. Varicose veins are stretched, dilated veins whose valves do not work properly. The Arizona Heart Institute & Foundation reports that women
are three times more likely to develop them than men, and people whose jobs require them to stand for long amounts of time often develop them.
292. The human body consists of about 60 trillion cells, and each cell has about 10,000 times as many molecules as the Milky Way has stars.
293. One-fourth of the 206 bones in the human body are located in the feet.
294. Visual scientists have estimated that, by the age of 60, our eyes have been exposed to more light energy than would be released by a nuclear
blast.
295. The human brain continues sending out electrical wave signals for up to 37 hours following death.
296. One-fourth of the people who lose their sense of smell also lose their desire for sexual relations.
297. Water makes up 60 percent of our body weight. Of the water, 8 percent is in the blood, 25 percent in the spaces between cells, and 67 percent
inside the cells.
298. The human brain is insensitive to pain. The suffering of a headache comes not from the organ itself but from the nerve and muscles lining it.
299. Only about 10 percent of the air in the lungs is actually changed with each cycle of inhaling and exhaling when an at-rest person is breathing,
but up to 80 percent can be exchanged during deep breathing or strenuous exercise.

227. The older a person gets the less sleep he/she requires. A child should get from 8 to 10 hours a night. An elderly adult can do well with 4
to 6 hours.
228. Snacking accounts for 15 to 20 percent of Americans' daily caloric intake.
229. The oldest way to lose weight is fasting --- the ultimate diet.
230. Someone who speaks through clenched teeth is called a dentiloquist.
231. The only part of the human body that has no blood supply is the cornea. It takes its oxygen directly from the air.
232. Someone with an irrational fear of meat is "carnophobic."
233. Sounds too low for human beings to hear are called infrasonic.
234. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet contain more sweat glands than any other part of the body.
235. The pituitary gland - responsible for producing the hormone that regulates growth - is only the size of a pea and weighs little more than a
small paper clip.
236. Soviet doctors have noticed a tendency by people living near Chernobyl to blame any and all ills on radiation — an affliction they are calling
"radiophobia."
237. The pupil of the eye expands as much as 45 percent when a person looks at something pleasing.
238. Statistics based on more than a half-million births occurring in New York City hospitals between 1948 and 1957 show a significantly greater
number of births taking place during the waning moon than during a waxing moon.
239. The right lung takes in more air than the left.
240. Stress may be good for people. Rockefeller University scientists have determined that an acute episode of stress boosts immunity, offering
better protection against infection. The fact that people don’t usually catch a cold until a crisis is over may be due to the fact that humans have acute
elevations in stress hormones, thus elevating the body's immune response.
241. The Romans had three words for kissing: basium was the kiss exchanged by acquaintances; osculum, the kiss between close friends; and suavium,
the kiss between lovers.
242. Studies show that one out of every 3,000 children has some form of autistic disorder.
243. The rush of air produced by a cough moves at a speed approaching 600 miles per hour.
244. Sweat itself is odorless, only when combined with bacteria that are breaking down dead skin cells does it become smelly. Smelly sweat is called
bromohidrosis. Sweat is composed of water, sodium chloride, potassium salts, urea, and lactic acid.
245. The sensitivity of the human eye is so keen that on a clear, moonless night, a person standing on a mountain can see a match being struck as
far as 50 miles away. Much to their amazement, astronauts in orbit were able to see the wakes of ships.
246. Swimming a quarter of a mile is roughly equal to running one mile.
247. Grey (or white) is merely the base "colour" of hair. Pigment cells located at the base of each hair follicle produce the natural dominant colour
of our youth. However, as a person grows older and reaches middle age, more and more of these pigment cells die and colour is lost from individual hairs.
The result is that a person's hair gradually begins to show more and more grey.
248. There is enough Iron in a human to make a small nail
249. The Lump of Flesh just forward of your ear canal next to your temple, is called a tragus
250. A Shank is the part of the sole between the heel and the ball of the foot.
251. The Talus is the second largest bone in the foot
252. The two most common surgeries are Biopsies and Cesarean sections
253. Approximately l3% to 15% of the U.S. population has one or more phobias in a given year (this includes social and specific phobias and agoraphobia).
254. Specific phobias occur in people of all ages. The average age of onset for social phobia is between 15 and 20 years of age, although it can
often begin in childhood.
255. Although the brain accounts for only 2% of the whole body's mass, it uses 20% of all the oxygen we breathe. A continuous supply of oxygen is
necessary for survival. A loss of oxygen for 10 minutes can result in significant neural damage.
256. Parts of the brain of a severely abused and neglected child can be substantially smaller than that of a healthy child.
257. It is estimated that a baby loses about half their neurons before they are born. This process is sometimes referred to as pruning and may eliminate
neurons that do not receive sufficient input from other neurons.
258. A study showed that when mothers frequently spoke to their infants, their children learned about 300
more words by age two than did children whose mothers rarely spoke to them.
259. Birdsong and human speech have similar characteristics. Birds, like humans, learn their complex vocalizations early in life and imitate their
adult counterparts to acquire these skills. These two species have evolved a complex hierarchy of specialized forebrain areas where motor and auditory
areas interact continuously in order to produce detailed vocalizations.
260. The optic nerve exits the retina as a single bundle. The exit point within the retina has no receptor cells. This location forms a blind spot
in each eye. We rarely notice these spots because they do not overlap within the image formed by the two eyes. Your ophthalmologist can only detect your
blind spots by having you close the eye not being tested.
261. The effects of a stroke depend on the affected blood vessel and the area of brain that it supplies with nutrients. For instance, if the middle
cerebral artery is occluded, motor areas in the frontal cortex can be damaged resulting in the loss of voluntary muscle movements on the contralateral,
or opposite, side of the body from the damaged side of the brain. This condition is known as hemiplegia.
262. Strokes or "brain attacks" are the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. A stroke occurs when the blood flow to the brain is disrupted.
Disruption takes place either when a brain artery is blocked or when an artery explodes. Recently, exciting medical breakthroughs have been announced with
respect to treating stroke.
263. Electroencephalogram, or EEG, is a non-invasive technique used to record small changes of electrical activity in the brain with surface electrodes
on the scalp. Scientists who study sleep find EEG especially useful. The tiny fluctuations detected with EEG are clear indicators of whether a person is
asleep, aroused, or somewhere in between.
264. Approximately 20% of the blood flowing from the heart is pumped to the brain. The brain needs constant blood flow in order to keep up with
the heavy metabolic demands of the neurons. Brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) rely on this relationship between
neural activity and blood flow to produce images of deduced brain activity.
265. Although the brain accounts for only 2% of the whole body's mass, it uses 20% of all the oxygen we breathe. A continuous supply of oxygen is
necessary for survival. A loss of oxygen for 10 minutes can result in significant neural damage.
266. Measures of brain activity show that during the second half of a child's first year, the prefrontal cortex, the seat of forethought and logic,
forms synapses at such a rate that it consumes twice as much energy as an adult brain. That furious pace continues for the child's first decade of life.
267. The pufferfish, parts of which are eaten as a delicacy in Japan, contains a potent neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin. This toxin blocks sodium
channels necessary for the conduction of neural activity. Tetrodotoxin can cause death in approximately 60% of the people who ingest it.
268. Commisurotomy, the transection of the corpus callosum, is one possible treatment for patients with severe epilepsy. This procedure causes a
complete split between the two hemispheres of the brain. As a result of this split, words presented to the patient's far left visual field cannot be read
(alexia), and hidden objects placed into the left hand cannot be named (anomia). This is significant evidence for hemispheric specialization.
269. During the first month of life, the number of connections or synapses, dramatically increases from 50 trillion to 1 quadrillion. If an infant's
body grew at a comparable rate, his weight would increase from 8.5 pounds at birth to 170 pounds at one month old.
270. Did you know that healthy ears actually emit sounds? These sounds are usually very soft, but can occasionally be heard by others. Surprisingly,
the sounds are rarely heard by the person whose ear is emitting the sounds! The cause of these sounds is still under debate, but is thought by some to
be due to input from the central nervous system.
271. Nearsightedness (myopia) is the most common visual problem we experience. It is the result of an overly elongated eye, which has become specialized
for seeing near objects extremely well.
272. Yawning is an age-old activity that occurs in reptiles, birds and, of course, mammals. This behavior is controlled by chemicals in the brain
called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters, such as nitric oxide and dopamine, act in the hypothalamus to induce and control yawning.
273. The light-detecting receptor cells within the retina, called rods and cones, are actually at the back of the retina under several layers of
cells. The neurons and support cells within the retina are fairly translucent, so light is able to pass through them and reach the receptors.
274. Because receptors (rods and cones) are at the back of the retina, an image actually passes through the retina three times: as light to the
receptor cells (back); as neural signals through the initial visual processing of the retina (forward); as neural signals via the optic nerve to the brain
(back again).
275. The human cerebellum, or "little brain", weighs about 150 grams. Located at the lower back of the brain, the cerebellum is key to maintaining
posture, walking, and performing coordinated movements. It is also thought to play a role in olfaction or smell.
276. Nearsighted people can often read the lettering on distant signs by looking through a small hole with one eye. The hole focuses the light entering
the eye and replaces the function of the eye's own lens.
277. Olfactory receptor cells, the neurons in our nose that allow us to smell, are neurons that can regenerate throughout life. Although these cells
are continually being born and dying, they maintain the same connections as their ancestors. The result is that once we learn a smell, it always smells
the same to us -- despite the fact that there are always new neurons smelling it!
278. Children as young as four days old can distinguish the vowel sounds of the language in their natural environment from those of a foreign language.
279. It has been estimated that about one million people in the United States have acquired aphasia. Aphasia is an impairment of the ability to
use or comprehend words, usually acquired as a result of a stroke or other brain injury. There are several different types of aphasia depending on the
location of the brain injury. There is currently no drug treatment for aphasia although surgery and speech therapy are sometimes successfully used as treatment.
280. At night, our peripheral vision is better than our foveal (straight on) vision. Hikers at night do better when they look slightly above the
trail, and airplane pilots are taught to look for traffic out of the sides of their eyes. This is because our rod cells, photoreceptors that respond best
to dim light, are located mostly in the periphery of the retina.
281. The pupillary light reflex results when light is shined into either eye causing both pupils to constrict. Doctors use this reflex to determine
if the reflex pathway through the midbrain has in any way been disrupted. If the reflex fails to produce a response in one or both eyes, the doctor can
deduce the location of the malfunction based on which of the eyes failed to respond and which eye was stimulated.
282. Reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents.
283. Research shows brain growth contains its own rhythm. Certain skills come into preeminence for a period of intensive networking. At three months,
the visual cortex dominates synapse formation.
284. 0.5% of the general population has epilepsy. But it is estimated that one in 20 people will have at least one seizure during the course of
their life. While seizures are characteristic of epilepsy, having a single seizure does not, in itself, constitute epilepsy. The effects of seizures can
vary from complete loss of consciousness to mild shakes or loss of balance.
285. A child's ability to learn can increase or decrease by 25 percent or more, depending on whether he or she grows up in a stimulating environment.
286. Scratching an itch is a puzzling biological response, because it seems to hinder rather than help a wound's healing. One theory of why we itch
suggests that scratching stimulates the release of endorphins, naturally occurring opiates which block pain sensation. Because scratching injures our skin
a little more, we
release a flood of endorphins to block the pain of the initial injury more effectively.
287. It's no accident that telephone numbers in the United States are seven digits long. Our working memory, a very short-term form of memory which
stores ideas just long enough for us to understand them, can hold on average a maximum of seven digits. This allows you to look up a phone number and remember
it just long enough to dial.
288. Up to the age of six or seven months, a child can breathe and swallow at the same time. An adult cannot do this.
289. The human being is the longest-lived of all existing mammals.
290. One square inch of skin on the human hand contains some 72 feet of nerve fiber
291. Varicose veins are stretched, dilated veins whose valves do not work properly. The Arizona Heart Institute & Foundation reports that women
are three times more likely to develop them than men, and people whose jobs require them to stand for long amounts of time often develop them.
292. The human body consists of about 60 trillion cells, and each cell has about 10,000 times as many molecules as the Milky Way has stars.
293. One-fourth of the 206 bones in the human body are located in the feet.
294. Visual scientists have estimated that, by the age of 60, our eyes have been exposed to more light energy than would be released by a nuclear
blast.
295. The human brain continues sending out electrical wave signals for up to 37 hours following death.
296. One-fourth of the people who lose their sense of smell also lose their desire for sexual relations.
297. Water makes up 60 percent of our body weight. Of the water, 8 percent is in the blood, 25 percent in the spaces between cells, and 67 percent
inside the cells.
298. The human brain is insensitive to pain. The suffering of a headache comes not from the organ itself but from the nerve and muscles lining it.
299. Only about 10 percent of the air in the lungs is actually changed with each cycle of inhaling and exhaling when an at-rest person is breathing,
but up to 80 percent can be exchanged during deep breathing or strenuous exercise.
300. The human eyes can perceive more than 1 million simultaneous visual impressions and are able to discriminate among nearly 8 million gradations
of color.
301. Our hands are recognized by medical professionals as a major source for spreading flu and cold germs. Flu and cold germs can be spread on computer
mice and keyboards, chewed pencils, telephones, pens, salad-bar tongs, light switches, door knobs, taxi door handles, and countless other common objects.
People can't avoid touching things. To minimize infection, concentrate on keeping hands away from the mouth, nose, and eyes unless the hands are first
washed with antibacterial soap, says the Soap and Detergent Association of New York.
302. Our nails grow at 0.1 mm per day. It takes about three months to replace one entire fingernail.
303. Identical twins do not have identical fingerprints. No two sets of prints are alike, including those of identical twins.
304. If a person is "aerophobic," they have an irrational fear of drafts.
305. If all of the water were drained from the body of an average 160-pound man, the body would weigh 64 pounds.
306. If all the blood vessels in a single human body were stretched end to end, they would form a string capable of going around the world.
307. If laid out in a straight line, the average adult's circulatory system would be nearly 60,000 miles long - enough to circle the Earth 2 and
a half times.
308. Human nails and hair do not grow after death. They are simply the last part of the body to disintegrate.
309. Human reproduction follows lunar time rather than sidereal, or solar, time: Gestation is about 266 days — nine lunar months — and the menstrual
period is one lunar month.
310. Human skin has about 100,000 bacteria per square centimeter. Ten percent of human dry weight is attributed to bacteria.
311. Humans have about 80,000 genes in their DNA.
312. Humans have between 100 trillion to 1 quadrillion living cells in their bodies.
313. Humans, if they are very sensitive, can detect sweetness in a solution of 1 part sugar to 200 parts water. Some moths and butterflies can detect
sweetness when the ratio is 1 to 300,000.
314. Two out of three adults in the United Sates wear glasses at some time.
315. The easiest sound for the human ear to hear, and those which carry best when pronounced, are, in order, "ah," "aw," "eh," and "oo."
316. Type O is the most common blood type in the world. Type AB is the rarest. There is also a subtype called A-H, but to date, only three people
in the world are known to have it.
317. The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, sheds itself at a rate of about a million cells every 40 minutes.
318. Of 103.4 million American men, 22.5 million wear a mustache.
319. Uncontrollable winking is the physical symptom of those suffering from blepharospasms.
320. The fingernails grow faster on the hand you favor. If you are right-handed; your right fingernails will
grow faster; likewise the fingernails on the left hand of a left-handed person. The middle fingernail grows faster than all other nails.
321. Of the 206 bones in the average adult human body, 106 are found in the hands and feet (54 are in the hands; 52 are in the feet).
322. Until about age 12, boys cry about as often as girls.
323. The hair of an adult man or woman can stretch 25 percent of its length without breaking. If it is less elastic, it is not healthy.
324. On the average, women dream more than men and children dream more than adults. Overall, more people dream in black-and-white than in color.
325. Until the 1920s, babies in Finland were often delivered in saunas. The heat was thought to help combat infection, and the warm atmosphere was
considered pleasing to the infant. The Finns also considered sauna as a holy place.
326. The heart beats faster during a brisk walk or heated argument than during sexual intercourse.
327. One individual organ transplant donor can provide organs, bone, and tissue for 50 or more people in need.
328. Most people's legs are slightly different lengths.
329. Tooth enamel is the hardest substance manufactured by the human body.
330. The brain reaches its maximum weight at age 20 - about 3 pounds. Over the next 60 years, as billions of nerve cells die within the brain, it
loses about 3 ounces. The brain begins to lose cells at a rate of 50,000 per day by the age of 30.
331. Most teen-age boys think about sex once every 5 minutes.
332. Tuberculosis is one of the world's oldest diseases. Some ancient mummies found in Egypt and Peru had tuberculosis.
333. The BRAT diet is a diet of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. The diet is often prescribed for infants with diarrhea.
334. Nationwide, there are about 15,000 people in comas.
335. Turkana tribesmen, who live on the barren soils of the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, add iron to their diet by drinking cow's blood - they puncture
the cow's jugular vein with a sharp arrow and catch the spurting liquid in a clay jug. The cows, though bled frequently, suffer no ill effect.
336. The country of Yemen has the world's highest fertility rate among women at 7.6, the world's lowest — Switzerland at 1.5.
337. Neanderthal man, the first human being in the true sense, had a brain capacity 100 cc larger than modern man's.
338. Twins are born less frequently born in the eastern part of the world than in the western.
339. The daughters of a mother who is colorblind and a father who has normal vision will have normal vision. The sons will be colorblind, however.
340. Nerve signals may travel through nerve or muscle fibers at speeds as high as 200 miles per hour.
341. The defect of color vision characterized by the inability to see the color red is called protanopia.
342. Newborn babies are not blind. Studies have shown that newborns have approximately 20/50 vision and can easily discriminate between degrees
of brightness.
343. No one truly has double joints. Contortionists are actually able to stretch the fibrous tissues known as ligaments. Ligaments hold organs in
place and fasten bones together. Ligaments normally restrict the movements of certain joints, but some folks find that their ligaments are more flexible
than others.
344. From birth to adolescence, selected bones in the human body fuse together. The last bone to fuse is the collarbone, and this occurs between
the ages of 18 and 25.
345. Hair grows slowest at night. It speeds up in the morning, slows in the afternoon, and grows faster
again in the evening. Hair grows faster in summer than in winter.
346. Hanging in folds when empty, the stomach can stretch to accommodate more than a quart of food.
347. Harvard researchers have found that people who lose a friend, relative, or loved one through death face great physical risks. They are 14 times
more likely than normal to suffer a heart attack the day after the death; two days after the traumatic event, they are at risk five times more than normal.
348. English ships carried limes to protect the sailors from scurvy. American ships carried cranberries.
349. Even if the stomach, the spleen, 75 percent of the liver, 80 percent of the intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from
the pelvic and groin area are removed, the human body can still survive.
350. Every person has nearly 400,000 radioactive atoms disintegrating into other atoms in his or her body each second. But there's no need to worry
about falling apart. Each body cell contains an average of 90 trillion atoms — 225 million times that 400,000.
351. Experts at the Center of Ergonomics at the University of Michigan have concluded that the tilt created where the seat and back of a rocking
chair come together should be greater than 90 degrees — 120 degrees are good, or even 135 — for the health of the lower back.
352. False teeth are often radioactive. Approximately 1 million Americans wear some form of denture; half of these dentures are made of a porcelain
compound laced with minute amounts of uranium to stimulate fluorescence. Without the uranium additive, the dentures would be a dull green color when seen
under artificial light.
353. Following a family move, a series of studies have discovered that boys between the ages of 6 and 11 tend to have problems adjusting to new
environments, particularly school. The research showed that moving during those ages could be so traumatic for boys as to cause a drop in academic achievement
or even I.Q. The results were not conclusive for girls.
354. There are eight bones in a human wrist.
355. There are more than 10 trillion living cells in the human body.
356. The body has 70,000 miles of blood vessels. The heart pumps blood through this labyrinth and back again once every minute.
357. There are more than 100 different viruses that cause the common cold.
358. The body’s daily requirement of vitamins and minerals is less than a thimbleful.
359. Moderate dancing burns 250 to 300 calories an hour. Twenty minutes of moderate dancing will elevate heart rate up to aerobic levels. One study
found polkas, swing dancing, and waltzes to be particularly effective for weight loss.
360. There are ten human body parts that are only three letters long: eye, hip, arm, leg, ear, toe, jaw, rib, lip, gum.
361. The body's largest internal organ is the small intestine at an average length of 15 to 20 feet and has a diameter of no more than an inch and
a half. The large intestine measures an average of 5 feet.
362. More than half of school-age children in the U.S. have no cavities in their permanent teeth, compared with only 26 percent who were cavity-free
in the early ‘70s, the American Dental Association has reported.
363. Today, American dentists use some 13 tons of gold each year for crowns, bridges, inlays and dentures. The reason? Gold is non-toxic, it can
be shaped easily, and it is tough -- it never wears, corrodes or tarnishes.
364. The brain is surrounded by a membrane containing veins and arteries. This membrane is filled with nerves of feeling. However, the brain itself
has no feeling; if it is cut into, the person feels no pain.
365. Most people by the age of sixty have lost 50 percent of their taste buds and 40 percent of their ability to smell.
366. Tongue prints are as unique as fingerprints.
367. The brain of Neanderthal man was larger than that of modern man.
368. Medical experts have observed that people who stutter rarely do when they are alone or talking to a pet.
369. The average person takes from twelve to eighteen breaths per minute.
370. Medical experts warn that compulsive exercising can be just as bad for a person as no exercise at all. The human body needs 24 hours without
exercise about once a week in order to cleanse itself of lactic acid and other waste products of strenuous activity.
371. The average person's field of vision encompasses a 200-degree wide angle.
372. Men have more blood than women. Men have 1.5 gallons as compared to 0.875 gallons for women.
373. The average person's hand flexes its finger joints 25 million times during a lifetime.
374. Men over the age of 24 shave an average of six times a week.
375. The average person's total skin covering would weigh about 6 pounds if collected in one mass.
376. Men reach the peak of their sexual powers in their late teens or early twenties, and then begin to slowly decline. Women, however, do not reach
their sexual peak until their late twenties or early thirties, and then remain at this level through their late fifties or early sixties.
377. The average square inch of skin holds 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes (pigment cells), and more than a thousand nerve
endings.
378. Men who eat 10 or more weekly servings of tomato-based foods cut their prostate cancer risk by 45 percent in a Harvard study of 47,000 middle-age
male health professionals. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant. Juice, salad, soup, even pizza, helped
379. The average woman consumes 2,000 calories a day, the average man about 2,500; but if you had the metabolism of a shrew you would need to consume
about 200,000 calories a day. Metabolic rate is the sum of all the chemical reactions occurring in the body at one time. The faster the reactions, the
higher your metabolism and the more calories you need to consume. Smaller animals tend to have higher metabolic rates because they have to work harder
to keep their bodies warm.
380. Men who take steroids to build muscle are believed to have extremely low sperm counts. So reported a British Centre of Reproductive Medicine
study, which revealed that it takes one to three years after giving up steroids for a man to recover enough to father a child.
381. The average women's thighs are one and a half times larger in circumference than the average man's.
382. Men with mustaches may be allergic to their own lip hair. That is because mustaches may harbor airborne pollens that trigger allergies.
383. Midgets and dwarfs almost always have normal-sized children, even if both parents are midgets or dwarfs.
384. Each red blood cell lives an average of 4 months and travels between the lungs and other tissues
75,000 times before returning to the bone marrow to die.
385. Each square inch of human skin consists of 19 million cells, 60 hairs, 90 oil glands, 19 feet of blood vessels, 625 sweat glands, and 19,000
sensory cells.
386. Eighty percent of the average human brain is water.
387. Electrical nerve stimulation may help reduce chronic pain in cancer patients, especially those whose cancer has spread to the bones, say researchers
at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. Some cancers that spread to bones produce severe chronic pain that is unresponsive to
analgesic drugs, including morphine.
388. The average human scalp contains between 120,000 and 150,000 hairs.
389. Licorice can raise your blood pressure.
390. The average life span of a fifth-century man in England was 30 years.
391. Man has tiny bones once meant for a tail and unworkable muscles once meant to move his ears.
392. The average lifespan of a human being's taste bud is 7-10 days.
393. Man's three-pound brain is the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter known in the universe.
394. Many children occasionally walk in their sleep. Sleepwalking is ordinarily a phase in the growing-up process. Because parts of the child's
brain are immature, dreams can be stimulating enough to cause a youngster to take a nocturnal stroll. About 25 percent of all children have one or more
sleepwalking episodes between the ages of 7 and 12, according to sleep researchers.
395. Because alcohol causes cells to become dehydrated, one way to minimize a hangover is to drink a couple of glasses of water after each alcoholic
drink, thus preventing dehydration. The most common symptom
of a hangover is the same as that of mild dehydration — a headache.
396. Because of their extreme elasticity, the lungs are 100 times easier to blow up than a child’s toy balloon.
397. Between ages 30 and 70, a nose may lengthen and widen by as much as half an inch and the ears may be a quarter-inch longer - due to the fact
that cartilage is one of the few tissues that continue to grow as we age.
398. Blype is the skin that peels off after bad sunburn.
399. Brain-wave activity in humans changes when we catch the punch line of a joke.
400. Children born in the month of May are on the average 200 grams heavier at birth than children born in any other month.
401. Drinking lowers rather than raises the body temperature. There is an illusion of heat because alcohol causes the capillaries to dilate and
fill with blood. In very cold weather, drinking alcoholic beverages can lead to frostbite.
402. During menstruation, the sensitivity of a woman's middle finger is reduced.
403. During pregnancy, the uterus expands to 500 times its normal size.
404. The average male adult can bench-press 88 percent of his body weight, having 70 to 80 pounds of muscle.
405. The average person can live up to eleven days without water, assuming a mean temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
406. Medical experts are perturbed that TV medical dramas suggest that people who receive CPR usually recover; the truth is, only about 15 percent
