What about smears

never had a problem

OK so the nurses didn't look at you strangely afterwards then

Sam.

08/10/2007 at 15:56

erm, one looked a bit surprised and asked if it hurt

but tbh it wouldn't bother me if they *did* look at me strangly - like with they chiro, it would just amuse me

am not wearing it at the mo, like anything else you can wear it or not as you please

LOL I have a bartholins cyst which if it flares and I need to get it looked WILL mean I get a couple of comments of the GP I usually see - he is just like that

Iws told by my piercer that you can leave them out too long - she had to have hers done again

Sam.

Yeah, I heard that too.

I've had mine out for a few months at a time on several occasions, not had any probs so far.

I worry about it on the bike but after a year I should be fine to take it out for cycling really

Sam.

08/10/2007 at 16:44

I used to take mine out for cycling, yeah.

Thanks for the comments Sam and Maddy - I'm surprised you need to take it out for cycling?

I went cycling last weekend and thought about this specifically. It doesn't seem like it will be a problem because that's not where I sit. Is there anything else you have to take it out for? I don't want to have to take it out at all.

Yasmin - I haven't yet had to take it out for cycling or anything else. I just think I will when I do longer stuff but thats because I am worried about stretching the hole since the hood is only skin, I use a range of positionsover longer distances just to relieve the pressure - it will probably happen slightly over time anyway but I don't want to accelerate it

Maddy.

09/10/2007 at 08:57

Ah just realised who may be lurking on this one - the range of positions in THIS instance relates to how I am sitting on my cycle saddle

Definitely take it out if ever you go get waxed....

Yasmin

Really Jane? I get waxed every 2 months or so. It might be in the way a little but I thought I might be able to work around it. Maybe it's better to take it out be on the safe side.
