This is...Yeah, Team Gauzepad and Tape, all the way. This is also the only combo that will work on the bikini-line area; band-aids are utterly useless. TMI ALERT (can't say I didn't warn you freaks); I had an ingrown bikini-line hair that went horribly wrong, and needed the application of strong antibiotic ointment for several weeks, which necessitated a well-applied dressing (both to protect the sore AND my clothing). Bits of folded gauze and fabric tape (which is somehow stickier than paper tape, whose glue was not only weak, but very irritating) laid down in an X was the only way to go. Band-aids is for chumps! They're not meant for any area that stretches or moves in a major way, besides maybe knees or elbows. If any of you sisters have a bikini-line mishap, tape and gauze, trust me.<br /><br />I still have a scar on my leg from the last time my Vulcan's Weegie cat had a go at me, shortly before she died suddenly back in April, and I kinda hope the scar stays, so I have something to remember her by. She was evil, so she'd like that.<br /><br />Cheers, and protect those tittehs from the kittehs!<br /><br />StormStorm the Klingonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-10977947926219574502013-06-13T02:18:14.933-04:002013-06-13T02:18:14.933-04:00Girl, thank you.

I'll spare you the details but the afore-mentioned baby was 4 months old before I could nurse her without pain. I apologize to anyone who's terrified of nursing now that they've read my comment. <br /><br />There are lots of ways to help injuries on that body part heal, but I bet you've gotten tons of advice in the above comments. (I see quite a few just glancing through.) So I'll just say that Epsom salt soaks felt amazing and some sort of soothing, healthy moisturizer (coconut oil, shea butter, lanolin, etc.) was really nice, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717668814070848449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-65873005164756136862013-06-12T14:28:34.162-04:002013-06-12T14:28:34.162-04:00Once, quite a long time ago now, we had two orphan...Once, quite a long time ago now, we had two orphaned kittens (much too young to be separated from their mommy) who always needed to snuggle.
