This thread is for all the girlies to come and chat about girlie things like shopping, guys and periods!!!! Guys, enter at your own risk :D:D

Shelly
02-19-06, 06:38 AM
yay, a girl thread! :) I love girl talk! I don't really have much to say right now though.. but periods suck! I'm sure people will agree with me on that.

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 06:50 AM
Yes, I do agree!!! He he
Here is a question - how much make-up do you wear?
I usually only wear vaseline for my lips, maybe foundation. I am crap with eye make-up so I don't even bother :p

Shelly
02-19-06, 06:52 AM
oh I rarely wear make up.. when I do, I wear mascara, a little foundation..and lip balm :) ..I'm not very good at it either. Okay, I have a question.. do you have a boyfriend? or have you ever had a boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend..and I never did. but I did date a couple times. I don't even think I want a boyfriend right now :p and it doesn't help that I'm shy.

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 07:07 AM
I haven't ever and I don't care. I go to school with all girls so the only boys I ever talk to are my brothers and I'm not that desperate lol I'm really shy too..I hate talking to new people, whatever gender

Shelly
02-19-06, 07:08 AM
yeah me too, and I hate being so shy it sucks.. yeah I don't want a boyfriend either, I'm still young.. :p

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 07:14 AM
How old are you btw? I'm 14 :)

Shelly
02-19-06, 07:17 AM
Oh, I'm 16 :)

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 07:19 AM
Cool :p(I was too lazy to search for more)
What style do you think you have?? Like punk, etc

Shelly
02-19-06, 07:23 AM
lol .. my style? It's kind of like a lot of everything you know? I don't really like putting myself intoo a certain cadegy.. I don't know, I wear whatever I like. But I don't do skirts, dresses or shorts lol. :p what about you?

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 07:26 AM
I don't know. I try to be crazy, but I usually end up wearing the normal jeans, vest and pumps combo. I used to wear a lot more skirts but I'm more tomboyish now. I want to be a mod! :p

Shelly
02-19-06, 07:28 AM
Yeah I'm too insecure to wear skirts and shorts and stuff like that :p I wear whatever I'm comfy in.. which is just usually jeans and a tshirt. You want to be mod? That's cool, I wish I could.. but I don't look like one lol

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 07:31 AM
He he well I'll have my hair relaxed soon, just need more volume, Then My new drainpipes he he I'm basing it on Vince from the mighty boosh (Crazy british show) I'll just end up looking like an emo :pWhich I don't mind actually.
My fashion mood changes very often. Sometimes I like dressing girly But I never wear mini-skirts

Shelly
02-19-06, 07:36 AM
My hair is so long, I think I need a haircut It's very annoying! What colour is your hair? Mine is brown, I'm ater having blonde and some red in it, but I didn't like it :p I don't like dressing all girly like. I never will wear mini skirts, I actually have some .. waste of money I tell ya! lol.. I will never wear them :p I like being comfy in my clothes..and if I wear them I know I won't be. So jeans and tshirts is all I wear.. boring much? lol.

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 07:42 AM
I basically live in my baggy(ish) jeans...I love 'em. I don't like wearing skirts becasue I can never be bothered to shave my legs lol :p
My hair is dark brown but I want to dye it bluey black

Shelly
02-19-06, 07:45 AM
my hair is kind of a dark brown too. Bluey back.. I love that! It looks cool :D
Yeah, baggyish jeans are comfy! :p I hate shaving my legs .. haha, and I hate showing off my legs anyways lol. I don't want to wear shorts when the Summer comes.. I hate them! And I doubt I will go swimming, way to insecure to wear a bathing suit.

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 07:54 AM
Luckily we haven't done swimming at school for ages. But in year 7 and 8 we had to do dance in the gym in just leotards like we were 3 year olds. So glad those days are over :)

Shelly
02-19-06, 07:59 AM
wow that must've sucked eek.. lol

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 08:08 AM
Yep and this pervy teacher (well,we think he's a perv:o) always walked through the lesson. And the teacher would be wearing like 100 layers Grrr We weren't even allowed to wear a shirt or skirt over the top :rolleyez: I feel sorry for the current year 7's
Another day I hate is photo day!!!

Shelly
02-19-06, 08:31 AM
I wouldn't be able to wear that..eek, that's horrible! lol.. yeah photo day sucks.. i'm not really photogenic.

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 08:38 AM
I think I look even worse in photo's that I do in real life. I always look drunk :D

Shelly
02-19-06, 08:40 AM
haha yeah I do look worse in photos too.. :p I hate getting my picture took!

ivybeenz
02-19-06, 08:57 AM
I hate it just before a photo is taken, and you don't want to pose but you don't wan't to look miserable :p

Peter Brichs
02-19-06, 03:20 PM
but periods suck! I'm sure people will agree with me on that.

Now, I'm a boy, so this thread isn't really for me, but... I just have to agree with this statement.

Or she hasn't even had a period yet.

Anyway, I gotta get caught up.
I'm 14. I live in the middle of nowhere in BC Canada. I home school by choice and don't want a boyfriend anytime soon. haha glad I'm not the only one.
I like wearing jeans and tshirts or sweats. And my hair colour is dark brown but I like to colour it a purple (Loreal Colour Pulse Cool Plum :))
And, funny story about periods, I got my first one on a cruise ship. haha

What does everyone here think is their best physical and mental feature?

Aw, man! Too bad LAL doesn't come around anymore! We won't need to hijack the thinking thread to have our girl talks!

*Peeks in this thread. Faints*


lmao Frisk, that'll teach ya!

My best physical feature? My eyes! I love my eyes! They're green with a ring of brown around my pupil. I love 'em! And mental? Yikes... my sense of humor. Does that count? I have a great sense of humor! :D

ivybeenz
02-20-06, 03:37 PM
I would say my best physical feature is my lips, as they are full. Mental, err, I'm good at cheering people up and I think I'm kinda witty :confused:

I guess the "eyes" have it. Mine are bluish-green (or greenish blue) many people think they are colored contacts because they are so different.

I hate my eyes because they're not big enough and the colur green is a bit...dull

Nose for me.

Wow. Curiosity pulled me into this thread, and now I regret it. It's like spying on your sister's slumber party - too much chatting on non-interesting girly stuff, and not enough pillow fights in skimpy pajamas.

I shall never revisit this thread again.


And one last thing, you all look beautiful to me - not a bad feature amongst you! :)

ivybeenz
02-20-06, 05:48 PM
Worst feature? We'll be here for days. Ultimate worse though are hair (do I hear Frizz?) and my nose (more like snout :p)

redneck once removed

my worst feature has got to be stretchmarks from having my son. :cry: I'm told they'll never go away!:(

Hell... I'm female but coming into this thread I feel like the old lady on the bus tutting at the youngsters. It's like its 10 years ago.

But since I'm here... my best features IMO are my eyes and my lips.

Wear them proudly!

Okay 2 vents:

1) Why does my period have to come at the most inopportune time???? I can't remember the last vacation I had where it didn't play a part!

2) Why do guys make stupid jokes like "Don't trust anything that bleeds for 7 days and live" when it's not like we have a choice about it!!!

/end venting.

Does anyone get bad stomach cramps around their period. Mine seriously kill for a few days - I can hardly walk :(

Either:
1) everything's blamed on PMS, or
2) Men age better, or
3) a powerful woman is percieved as a b!tch.

Seriously, I get that Hillary Clinton is much maligned, and I've laughed about it too, and yet I can't put my finger on one single reason why. Her husband cheated on her -- in theory everyone should be supporting her(???)

What do you think is the worst thing about being a female. I guess having a baby must be pretty painful :o I've just got to say that it is worth it! The first second you see your baby....AWESOME!!! Both times were great for me, even with complications, I'd go through it again in a heartbeat... (Assuming I had enough energy to care for more than two kids!)

OK, whatever guy said that to you and claimed that it was his own joke is a moron.
That joke is in "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" and it's funny there but if a guy just comes out and says that to you, he is a moron and needs to be bitch slapped.:catfight:

I don't think I'll ever go on the pill. Taking a drug to basically stop your period just doesn't seem natural or healthy to me.

EGIVM: A lot of women feel that way, you're not alone. But I can say as a medical doctor that there is no supported evidence in the medical literature that this is harmful to your body to skip the placebo pills (in the past, there was a fear this increased your risk of endometrial cancer, but this was proven false). And as a woman, I had been on depo-provera for 2 years ("the shot", and it stops your period altogether in most cases after a few months... the only reason I stopped was because it also caused me to break out, I liked it otherwise. I then went back on the pill and continued to throw out the week of placebos. This is ok if (if you feel ok about it).

pandoraX I was on the shot for over two years, but I stopped because of the whole bone density thing. My friend's sister was on it for 6 years and she had abnormal bone density. I didnt want to end up with a broken hip at age 26, so i stopped it... i dont take anything now....and i still dont get a period yet.

Sure thing :) It's not my current specialty, but I've had to study gynecology and work on the gynecology wards as a med student/intern, so if anyone has general questions...

Just want to make women well informed of their birth control choices (for when they do need it). Everyone just thinks of the pill and condoms, but there are many other choices today (the patch, the NuvaRing) and some of it is finding the choice that's right for you and makes you and your partner feel comfortable.

Here's a good page with facts you can trust:
http://www.4woman.gov/faq/birthcont.htm

LostforGood, the bone density risk is one of the drawbacks of depo, and a good reason to discontinue if you have a history of problems. As for not getting your period back yet... I wouldn't worry about it if it's been less than a year since the discontinuance. It takes a while for some women if they've been on depo for some time; it took me about 2 months.

Oh, and start taking calcium when you are young!!! Building it now can severely reduce your risks of osteoporosis when your older (and looking like one of those hunchback little old ladies that breaks her hip every other day :))

I agree, I hate my period. I am one of those women who gets it all 7 days (or 8 or 9), and for the first 2 days, I am in a lot of pain.

and LostforGood, I think the official ACOG (Am College of OB/GYN) recommendation is now for not recommending more than 2 years of depo at a time, I should have mentioned that. I don't think it was when I was on it.

My gosh, you poor girls! I just went in for my annual (2/20/06) and we had talked about that ring---can't figure how the guy wouldn't feel that thing, and also the pills and shots and that IUD thing, that just looks like some kind of medievel torture device and the lovely diaphram. I picked the pill, I hate shots and won't do those sticks in my arm and the diaphram is just nasty. But now that I'm 35 (didn't tell her I smoked) she has me on some different kind than I'm used to and I won't start taking them until March-hope they do me right. Good luck to you girls...LFG, I'm worried for you---no periods? Scary!

Studies show that 8/10 men cannot feel it, because it is supposed to get pushed up to the roof of that area, near the cervix.

that IUD thing, that just looks like some kind of medievel torture device...

It looks bad, and is not for me personally, I don't like the idea of a foreign semi permanent object in me. But there are many women who like this method and say that they never feel anything at all; it is considered a highly effective method, but you have to make sure you are honest with your doctor about your sexual history with this one.

Lost- the weight gain was another reason I did not like depo, you're right. I have a very stable metabolism, haven't gained or lost more than 5 lbs since high school... but when I was on depo, I gained about 8 lbs, which was a lot for me.

I did not go through boot camp, but I went through officer basic training for the army (which is nothing compared to marines boot camp in how strenuous the physical work is, but you do still spend 2 weeks out in the field doing FTX training, with no bathrooms most of the time--the best you could hope for was a latrine like a port-o-potty at the end of a 15 hour day with 20 lbs of equipment to take off, since you have to wear your uniform at all times day and night outside your tent). Many of us women intentionally used birth control methods that would suppress their periods during this time. One of us had recently given birth and had to use a breast pump out in the field every day, which was absolutely horrible for her! Another girl was 7 months pregnant during the time and still did a lot of the training with us, including a 10 mile land nav course in pouring rain.

Well, if you were 100% sure, that's what a tubal ligation ("getting your tubes tied") is for. The problem is, you're young, and trust me, you are not 100% sure, because "for good" is a long, long time. :) I used to think when I was in my teens I never wanted kids, and when I was in my mid-20s, I still wasn't big on kids, but more on the fence. Now, I'm not super-eager to start pumping out puppies, but I would consider it under the right circumstances (especially if I was with a guy who really wanted them).

I mean, not dollhouse tea for two sanitary ;) The point is more to harden you & teach you battle skills, with only a slight emphasis on preventative medicine. And again the marines & special forces training get it much worse... more power to them...

redneck, it's a hormonal method also, so many of the same contraindications apply. The stuff inside a nuvaring is much like what's in an OBCP, only it is absorbed transdermally instead of orally.

Hey and don't be lying to your doc! ;) Increased rate of stroke in high risk patients... it's low but it's there, and better safe than sorry. You may need to check out some nonhormonal methods just to be on the safe side.

This seems like it could be the perfect thread for me pose a question that is puzzling me:

To women who are married: Where do you draw the line, for your own actions, between so-called "harmless flirting" and "going too far" with any man other than your husband?

Hypothetical example: You decide to have a girls' night out with your gal pals. You all go to a club for drinks and dancing. You allow other men to buy you drinks, you might even dance with one or two, and later you give the guy who bought you a drink and danced with you a smooch on the cheek as a "thanks for the fun." Would you consider this going too far?

As a man, I have to say that if I had a significant other, and the above situation were reversed, I would refuse to dance with another woman, I would not accept drinks from another woman, nor buy any for her, and I certainly would not consider giving her anything beyond a handshake and great conversation. If such a woman managed to somehow sneak me a kiss, I would be somewhat upset. But that's just me and how I feel when I am in relationship. I'm old-school. Allow me to add that even if my wife were "okay" with such flirting from another woman, I still would not feel any differently. For me personally, it's not an issue of trust, but rather an issue of respect for yourself, your mate, and your commitment to one another. There are just some "places" I refuse to go, even if the mutual trust is astronomically high.

If the guy sends over a drink and is not a friend who knows that I am happily married..I refuse the drink.

If a stranger offers to buy me a drink, I reply that I am married. If he says "that's okay" I say "happily married and you know that this drink will get you no where" If he still wants to buy me a drink, then that's okay.

Dancing, same thing. They must be aware that it is only a dance because I want to dance.

The smooch on the check is for friends only, never strangers with me.

Silver, is it ok to weigh in if you're not married? :) I just think that in any serious relationship, it's cheating as soon as it gets to the point where you can't openly share every detail of this with your significant other, and you have to hide parts of it out of guilt. The truth is... this goes for both guys and girls... we all *know* when we've crossed the line. Rationalizing it afterwards is a moot point.

First of all - I see you are now in "girl" threads. Interesting. I haven't posted here before - because, honestly - I don't have any desire to write about the normal course of my body. But this makes me want to write.

OK - on A.... first of all - you NEVER know what life brings you. Line? Lines are there - and lines aren't there. I've seen too many bad relationships to put too many constraints on them. Life changes constantly. We need to accept what life brings us.

on B ..... I live in a small town. I've been out "with the girls". I've had drinks bought for me. I've danced with guys in the local bar. Everyone knows everyone here. AND I'm a very warm person. I kiss often - it is actually the custom in my area. It is a considerable faux-pas not to kiss on the cheek or even on the lips for people you know. Just because you do this, doesn't mean that you want to sleep with them.

ETA: I just couldn't leave it. My best friend is a man. We have known each other for 24 years now. We hug, we kiss, we laugh, we hold hands, walk with our arms around each other..... and he is my friend forever. We've gone places together, without spouses, and love each other dearly. From your description, this is "wrong". Well, I would lose the best friend in my life if I took that view. He helped me through the death of my mom - when even my husband didn't know what to do.

Basically - don't judge others. There are a lot of different people and a lot of different ways to live. Be accepting of others. Just because you wouldn't do something, doesn't mean that it is bad. Accept everyone where they are - and when they are.
FWIW.

For a judgemental post like that to be written, I would at least expect the person to have a personal reference point for their views. (being a woman would be good for starters- considering the thread)
Life is too short to get caught up with imposing our viewpoints blanketly over others.
We would be much happier with our lives, our selves, and others if we just practiced acceptance. Friends are easier to make - and keep - if we accept people for where they are in life.
I have friends that have had affairs. Some are still married to the same person, others aren't. They are still people with whom I remain friends. It is NOT up to me to judge them. Not at all.

Would I accept a drink from someone - already said that I have. Would I dance with someone - yes.
I am married now for 14 years - with my husband GONE for 6 to 9 months at a time.... OFTEN.
Having male friends and enjoying male attention does not a "floozy" make.

I agree whole-heartedly...my husband is a recovering alcoholic, he doesn't go out and I go with the guy that works for him. Jim is a wonderful, older man that I consider my Uncle. We dance, buy each other drinks, he kisses my hand and tells me how beautiful I am, watch the bands and then I take him home (he doesn't have a car). We have a great time and trust him completely with my life and my daughter! He comes over for all the holidays (no family) and I just love him! Am I a ho...I think not-I'm just a girl that likes to have a good time without being harrassed, just because you bought me a drink, doesn't mean we'll make babies! And I think that ANY guy that thinks that just because he bought you a drink or because he drove you home is crazy to assume anything will happen except a well deserved thank you that he is entitled to.

As far as girl talk, guy talk, hottest guys, hottest girls, etc. - this being an open forum, I keep in mind that even if they don't post, many will read what I write.

I didn't get that impression (nor did I intend that myself in mine)... or that he deserved a vehement or angry response. He was just curious about a woman's opinion, don't see anything wrong with that??

I'll speak for my own opinion, since I can't speak for anyone else. I'll reiterate what I said before... there is a line, but in my eyes, it's not based on some preconceived notion of what the Bible is trying to tell me, what my neighbor thinks, etc. What it comes down to is you and your mate, and if you can come to an agreement, through open discussion, what is acceptable and what is not.

What it boils down to is... if you there's something you have to cover up or hide from your mate, there's a problem there, because relationships are based on trust. Where I draw the line for myself is, if the tables were turned, would I be hurt by him doing the same (for example, kissing an ex in a certain way?). Where that line is for me may be very different for someone else, such as two people in a long distance relationship who have agreed to see other people, and neither has a problem with them doing X Y & Z. It really shouldn't matter what I, silver, your pastor, the nosy lady down the block, or anyone else thinks of your actions, so long as the other person in that relationship is cool with it.

Really, the hallmark of a good relationship is communication. I've done some marriage counseling in the past, and 9/10 times, it comes down to some element of miscommunication which eventually leads to a relationship failure.

Oh - sorry for the confusion. Having been around a while - just prior knowledge and experience and reading of posts/threads/opinions are what gave me my perspective. I would prefer to not say anything further in regards to that because it doesn't belong here.

and - fwiw - your post was wonderful.

Pandora is correct. I didn't feel I was being judgmental.

What it comes down to is you and your mate, and if you can come to an agreement, through open discussion, what is acceptable and what is not.It really shouldn't matter what I, silver, your pastor, the nosy lady down the block, or anyone else thinks of your actions, so long as the other person in that relationship is cool with it.

I think many are overlooking the point that I am trying to make in that, I would not choose to do certain things, even if my wife or girlfriend were totally "cool with it."

If my significant other says it's completely acceptable, to her, if I dance with another woman, I will still choose not to.
If my s.o. says it is acceptable, to her, if I buy/accept drinks for/from someone else, I will still choose not to.
If my significant other says it's completely acceptable, to her, if I flirt or get flirted with, I will still choose not to.


What it boils down to is... if you there's something you have to cover up or hide from your mate, there's a problem there, because relationships are based on trust.

I completely agree with this. I would never attempt to cover up or hide anything from my s.o. FWIW, I am often TOO honest for my own good.

No problem, MJ. :) I think, again... it was an issue of miscommunication, common online--we are all biased to interpret internet posts through the lens of our own past experiences, since we don't have cues like facial expressions, tone of voice, etc. It was not my intention to impose moral judgements on where you set that line, but it is my firm belief that there is a line, and everyone knows where it lies for their particular relationship; but it's different for every case, and none of my business or anyone else's what you and your husband decide is right for you guys.

I'm with MJ & librastar on this one. I dont think MJ was angry, just has her own very strong opinions. Silver, if that's your position, I think that's wonderful if it works for you. I think their only point is the part that I completely agree with: Everyone is different. Accepting a drink, dance, or giving someone a kiss on the cheek doesn't make you a slut or hang a "Please try to get in my pants" sign around your neck/above your head. If you (not you personally, the universal 'you') can't figure that out, you're probably not someone I would drink/dance/be comfotable touching anyway, Us women can read vibes. (all you men love to say we're emotional :D) We can usually tell your intentions quickly.

Now, I'm not trying to sound b!tchy either. I don't think anyone is, I just think we all feel the way we feel. :)

MJB, when I said "preach on sista", I said it cause I agreed w/you. :)

Momofsamty
03-01-06, 08:41 PM
Okay let me preface this by saying it is directed at NO ONE IN PARTICULAR it is just my own opinion that I am forcing on NO ONE...

That being said, I believe it is okay for Silver to ask the question if he so desires. It is also his God Given Right to give his personal opinion if he so desires. It is called Freedom of Speech. I did not take it judgemental or offensive. (I have also been around a long time and know the background)

I believe that a person should do what THEY feel is right for THEIR situation. I for example have a very trusting, open relationship with my husband. He is not the jealous type, and has no problem with my friendships with other men (a fair amount of my friends are men). Nor do I with his friendships with other women (he has many) we know we love each other, we know each other's personality. We are each others Best Friend. He knows I am a flirt, he knew that before he married me. In turn, him being a music man, and being in a band and going to gigs, I knew that I would have to accept the women it would attract. My feeling is that I am going to do what I want and I don't give a rats ass what others think, the only person that matters to me is my husband and what he is comfortable with...

I have a question...what do you do when a guy at work constantly looks at you or tries to walk by as you do? This one guy at my job is driving me batty!!! He always "waits" for me to go to the lav or to lunch or cig break to jump out of his cube to watch me walk by. It's very obvious, so badly that he'll go towards his cube and if he sees me coming-he'll turn around! He has only said hello and the same for me...but I DO NOT want to talk, because I'm afraid he'd never shut up! He's not very good looking at all-like if he was Josh Holloway it'd make a difference (well maybe ;) ) but just the same, I AM married and am NOT looking for love. My friend, Banita, tells me about him when I didn't notice-it's just crazy! My husband said to pick my nose as I go by, but I couldn't do something like that...I just started this job and do not want word going around that I was the girl that picked her nose. Any ideas-suggestions?

Forget that he even exists, pay him no attention. What he is doing IS rude, but because he has never made any sexual advances, it would not be considered harassment. As it is a new job, you don't want to start making waves with little ammo. Don't give him the benefit of even a hello, just look through him like he doesn't exist. Once you have been there a while and get a feel for the place, if he still is doing it, pointedly ask him why he does it, and tell him you don't like it.

No problem, I know he is an annoyance, look at it in a positive light, in that you obviously are very attractive, since he can't keep his eyes off you, and judging by your description, revel in the idea that he has a snowballs chance in hell of ever fulfilling the fantasies that are going through his mind as he stares at you. LOL and then picture him naked!!! :D 10 to one you burst out laughing in his face.

There are a lot of different people and a lot of different ways to live. Be accepting of others. Just because you wouldn't do something, doesn't mean that it is bad. Accept everyone where they are - and when they are.
FWIW.

I think many are overlooking the point that I am trying to make in that, I would not choose to do certain things, even if my wife or girlfriend were totally "cool with it."

Hey, I'm curious, when you get your shipment and use it for awhile, please come back and tell me how well it works or doesn't-I'm debating about getting it for my daughter. I hear it's very expensive and if you don't keep using it, your pimples come back-please let me know, seriously.
Thanks!

Hey yeah so I also use proactive it costs about 50 for the set. It is a routine morning and night that must be followed fairly strictly. You can also buy it at kiosks in most malls. Although I don't know how big the city is that you li ve in so I shouldn't assume. You can also order it online I would imagine. It works wonders though. Way better than anything I ever used and I am VERY fair. Hope that helps. :)

I live near Dallas, so yeah, I see it in the malls, but is it true that you must continue using or else the acne will come back worse? $50!!!!!!!!!!!! GAD!!!!!!! How long does that last for you-a month? Is it really better then the stuff at the store...even like Neutragena? (sp)

Jinjur
03-20-06, 09:10 PM
It is far better than acutane, ratinae, any perscriptiuon or otc. Yes you do need to continue use...No it will nt come back worse though. It is better to use it and forget sometimes than not use it at all. It last more than a month to be sure at least two or three

She probably had an allergic reaction, poor thing...either that or she had been tested previously for allegies and they found sulfer as one. I have never been "tested" but I know I'm not allergic to anything. I have never had a bad rash or break out from anything/product that I ever used, but some people are very sensitive. My daughter is-she has to use Dove.
