I finally made the Dr's appointment that I should have made a while back to address the PTSD I'm suffering after a particularly traumatic event...been papering over it and pretending everything is ok whilst trying to cope with endless replays of it in my head every day.
Well done, sd63. It can be so very hard to take that first step of admitting to yourself that something needs addressing. It's a huge thing so be proud of yourself. I hope you get the help you need, Lovely xx
I'm loving all the updates on this thread! Some great stuff going on for people and these things definitely deserve celebrating.
Thank you so much for sharing, everyone! And thank you for letting us all be cheerleaders for each other! 😘😘😘

I’ve been through this, talk if you need to mate.
My OH has finally mastered how to squirt. We bought a plug in lovehoney wand when it was on deal of the day and now it's our favourite toy. At first the squirts were quite small but now they'd look good on a porn set lol. Massive turn on for us both.
Tryed the electrostim toy I bought last week. Really good and didn’t blow myself up!

Excellent! Just started my own electro stim exploration at Christmas, always a bonus when you don't explore in an unwanted way!
😎 Hows it going AmyA?

That's great taking that first step making a drs appointment. It's not going to be an easy journey but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck sd63 xx

Just realised that should have said explode in an unwanted way not explore!
Do you mean how's the e-stim going? Only used a couple of times but good, I like, need to play about with the settings on the power unit thingie more but excellent so far.
Great! I ordered some slim pads as the square ones are a bit too wide sometimes and some of the conducting elastic bands because they look fun. Im not sure about insertable attachments for Mrs Pheebs, have you tried any?
I’m just thinking about how it can be used for couples now, I was hoping it could be used for oral sex as TENS can be used around the neck and jaw but i’m not sure how safe it is with this unit.
I've not used the pads yet, only insertables
This one https://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=36962 to use with the power unit but I think you have a different of power unit don't you?
I also have the mystim Truman and electroshock plug which are USB. The Truman is good but fairly big, the plug i need to investigate further as couldn't feel the e-stim much.
The first link is my favourite and the conductive gel I saw you got from the recent purchase thread seems to help.
I got this unit, it’s about the size of a mobile phone.

not sure about compatibility, ElectraStim do different Jack sizes.
Which power unit did you get?
I got this one, https://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=34928 think it's bigger than the ElectraStim one. Have been trying to find out about compatibility with other makes but not found anything.
So in theory if the jacks are the same size you should be able to use any e-stim toy with any power units.
I agree, there needs to be more info on this please LoveHoney.

Yes, looks like both brands use 2mm jacks so I guess no problems with using ElectraStim toys with the Mystim power unit or vice-versa. That's good to know, was starting to worry I had made the wrong choice.
Yeah, also ElectroStim do loads of stuff on their website that we could nag LH to stock.
This seems a bit silly but it really is something to me.
I have been able to wear mascara for the first time in roughly 4 / 5 years.
I have a condition called Trichotillomania which basically means that I pull out my hair and have no control over doing so; fortunately I have a mild case compared to many others but I have been without eyelashes for many years.
I had tried countless times to not pull them out but was unsuccessful; last year I went through something that was so stressful to me that my brain was too occupied to pull my hair out. Fast forward to now when I have had my eyelashes for a few months and felt that it was ok to wear a light coating of mascara, it is daft to some but an achievement to me.
Well done to all that have posted in this thread (or haven't), no matter how big or small x

That's great KinkMix - have you realised how many simple things can actually bring us such a sense of satisfaction? We should definitely be more grateful for them.
