Acts of service is a love language that absolutely gets me emotional every single time. I remember coming home to one of my housemates having deep cleaned the bathroom bc he noticed how stressed I was getting with it. Made me start crying on the spot. It’s so nice to feel seen and cared for.
Diva cup hack for public restrooms: get a collapsible drinking cup to put in your bag. You fill that up with water at the sink and go into the stall (I usually pop the cup on top of the toilet paper dispenser) then just rinse your diva cup out over the toilet ❤
As a Taurus, JUMPSCARED by a mention of us, I'm so beyond used to just like not existing or like being called boring in astrology spaces that just like JUMPSCARED
Thank you for being willing to be honest about how long it has been for you since you had sex. You unintentionally made me feel very seen as someone who hasn’t had sex in about the same amount of time, you reminded me why it has been that long and why I will continue to wait until it feels right ❤
I hate hook up culture. I'm not looking for an STI or hurt feelings; I get attached. I rather not have sex and just pleasure myself till the right person comes into my life and we exclusive. We have a million and one toys these days for all sorts of body parts. You don't need to go and have sex with others to explore your own body and find out what YOU like. If you don't get turned on by yourself, there is a issue honestly. You should really feel comfortable and in love with yourself before sex, relationships. Sex is very mental for many. Explore your own body and stop thinking experience is only obtained through 'live practice'. Very untrue people! Also there is exercises...for certain things. Go an explore, have fun an be safe!!! :P
I use a menstrual disk and looove it!! It's not linked to toxic shock syndrome because 1- all the blood should be sitting inside the disk and not against your walls and 2- it's a smooth object you're inserting that shouldn't cause any microtears (unless you have nails on). So with this in mind, I'm comfortable wearing my disk when I'm out all day! I'll take it out for a wash and I'll leave it out for a few hours as a treat for my mental health and pretend my period isn't happening, and feel safe to put it back in to sleep with if it's a heavy flow day. Because of the shape, it also empties itself when you use the restroom as normal, so you never feel like a blood bag about to pop. Disks are easier to insert than cups as well in my opinion. You can't be squeamish- you really gotta be comfortable with blood and with your body cause you might need to go spelunking for it, but I don't foresee myself ever going back to pads or tampons.
Same!! I use Flex discs. I don’t do the re-usable one yet… still using the disposable ones but I still feel like I am creating way less waste. I’ll never go back to tampons!!
Do I have multiple university assignments to complete? Yes. But Maddie just uploaded...so did I just drop everything, make a tea, and watch it? *Yes. yes I did*
As someone whose love language is acts of service, you were SPOT ON when you said it's best when you don't even have to ask for it. I feel so thought of and loved and cherished when someone sees me struggling or overwhelmed and just takes a few things off my plate
@@christinabeck860 I mean so does changing your pad or tampon more frequently than every 8 hours but that doesn’t mean you’re putting your self at any sort of risk but no doing it
Ahhh Maddie. I never comment on anything but your videos are so comforting and really make me feel like my experiences are more normal than I originally thought. Especially at around the 10 min mark, i felt better about life.
Love you Maddie ❤ Single chat: I find that most of my beautiful fun smart emotionally-mature and talented girlies and boysies are always my single pals… Because like me; they find it way WAY harder to find someone good enough to have around! 😂 We need someone who matches the intellectual and emotional connection we already have with our friends and family… and it seems like that is hard to find when searching for a romantic partner 😂 The good thing is that after years and years of self reflecting and therapy… I have realised that although I occasionally miss sex and the intimacy of romance; being single is a far more healthy and fulfilling space to be in for me. And it’s somewhere I am more than happy to stay in, until someone fucking AWSOME comes along and blows my socks off. The flash- light search for love finally being switched off is a very satisfyingly feeling😊 xxxxxxxx
cup user here-I dump it and put it back in, wash when I get home. I haven't run into any problems that way but idk if others worry about introducing bacteria
Hey so for cups…I just don’t wash the cup if I’m in a public stall, I dump it into the toilet, wipe it off with toilet paper, and put it back in, and then I wash it when I get back home
For my cup, I wrap it in toilet paper after I take it out, and then rinse it out in the sink (making sure the sink is clean when I finish) and then i put it back in. Usually, there aren't ever a lot of people in the restroom, and I try to make sure I don't need to change it and just wait til I'm home for ease of mind
Love your videos Maddie! Great to find bi rep like you ♥ Just my two cents about the cup question in case it helps anyone! I've used cups for years. It is in you for up to 12 hours. The likelihood of you having to clean it in the middle of the day is pretty low. But if you need to, bring a bottle of water with you and you can flush it out in the stall. I've straight up dumped it and put it back in so that I can rinse it out properly in the privacy of my own home. I've also heard some people bring a second clean cup so they could wrap one in tp and bag it then put in the fresh one. If anyone is looking for a good cup, I 10000% recommend Saalt cups. Best company with good resources on getting started. Amazing customer service.
i think i’m going to try one soon but i’m scared because it seems like an adjustment….i don’t even use tampons lol but pads are such a hassle for a heavier flow
@kyrasaturn I did a ton of research on cups, placement, and types of cups (because I had no idea there were so many lol). It is a learning curve, but once I started using one, I never looked back. I will say it isn't for everyone either. My sister can't use one and sticks to pads. UA-cam is definitely your friend for information! I decided on Saalt cups because I watched a video by ItsJustKelli and she reviews every cup under the sun. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer. Good luck trying them out if you do!
Definitelyyyy recommend the saaltcup for beginners! I feel like it's softer which makes it easier to fold and insert, at most I'd feel a little pressure when the cup is inside but it's barely noticeable
Re: using dating apps to meet women, this is from a lesbian exclusively dating women POV but I find that all "mixed-orientations" apps like Tinder, Hinge, etc. just really either don't have a lot of women or the ones that show up have some kind of sneaky boyfriend mentioned in the profile and they're unicorn hunting for threesomes. I now exclusively use the Her app and while it has fewer people on it, I find that they're actual queer people who are actually interested in dating queer women. I've met two long term partners on it personally. And if you're bi, I find that there's still a few men on it (just usually trans men who are either straight or bi and interested in dating queer women), just not this huge barrage of cishet dudes who may not be willing to date bisexual women who are very in touch with their queerness.
WHY THEY ALWAYS (ALWAYS) HAVE TO BE TAURUS?!?!! 😭😭😭😭 LIKE!! GODDAMIT! I GET THAT THEY'RE RULED BY VENUS BUT SO IS LIBRA SO WHYYYYYY (CRIES UNCONTROLLABLY)
girlie i so disagree with the menstrual cup, you likely won't need to change it while out, and when I do I just clean it out with toilet paper in a public stall and there's been no issues.
it's okay for our bodies to be different hahaha i wouldn't wanna do that with how my period is! i have used a menstrual cup for years while at home, i wouldn't feel comfortable using it in public restrooms. that is my experience lol.

Hey maddie, I just thought you might wanna know that my friend was having a sexism-men-are-trash moment and I recommended ur videos to help with processing that 🫶 absolutely love this little space we have here miss ma’am
The fact that Maddie invented the color purple, and is the CEO of Lover Girls USA, is truly monumental.
A true inspiration to Lover Girls everywhere

“the trauma is real babes” SO REAL BABE i’m gonna need that on some merch
Ihate hosting but staying late and helping clean up is what i love to do to express my gratitude for a good time!
love to see Maddie taking care of herself and slaying the game 💅❣️
For cups, you only need to rinse them out twice a day so if I need to dump midday i just wipe it with toilet paper and pop her back in
i think an actual rinse helps with hygiene....
