Non-sexual Advice

Useful tips

Don’t spend so much time trying to be physically attractive just to impress your partner. Instead, work on being mentally attractive. Educate yourself, address your recurring toxic thoughts, deal with your insecurities and learn to be happy on your own.

Normalise saying “NO” without having to over-explain yourself. If someone is offended by your boundaries, that’s their problem, not yours. The best weight you’ll ever lose is the weight of other people’s opinion of you. Don’t subscribe to other people’s definition of “FUN”. FUN is yours, create and define it.

Before you get married, discuss bills, parenting styles, credit, debts, how to deal with family, what beliefs should be instilled in your kids, childhood traumas, sexual expectations, partner expectations, financial expectations, family health history, career and education, political views and whatever deems important. Love is not enough!

Heal before having kids so your kids don’t have to heal from having you as a parent.

How to take care of your underwear

I know how demanding it can be to be extra careful with our underwear, especially with females who are more prone to infections than males. So here are 5 helpful tips to take care of your underwear.

  1. Always wash your underwear;
    How often should you wash your underwear? Your underwear should be washed after every use. Because your underwear comes in contact with your skin, sweat and discharge from you know, down there. Washing them immediately after every use keeps them squeaky clean and smelling fresh.
  2. Do not repeat the same underwear too many times;
    This may sound unimportant but to help make your underwear last longer and reduce tears, avoid wearing the same underwear too many times, especially your tights.
  3. Separate the darker colours from the lighter ones;
    Most times we think underwear with darker colours don’t bleach but hey! It’s hard to tell sometimes. Always separate the dark-coloured underwear from the light-coloured ones while washing and also while storing them in your closets or bags.
  4. Wash by hand;
    Sometimes we feel too tired to wash our underwear by hand and so toss them along with our clothes in the washing machine. It is preferable to wash your underwear by hand to prolong their lifetime. Washing machines can tear and affect the fitting of your underwear negatively.
  5. Fold your underwear;
    This may sound funny but folding your underwear will prolong its lifetime. Just stacking them in a closet or squeezing them in a bag can affect their fitting negatively.

A clean and hygienic underwear is one of the keys to a healthy body. Take good care of your underwear today.
