Summarize the following:
your car by hand before “claying” it. Remove as much of the dirt, grime, and other contaminants from the surface as possible. This will make “claying” go much more quickly. Don’t use an automatic car wash, because they tend to leave behind a lot of soap residue and other contaminants. In fact, most auto detailers will likely tell you to never use automatic car washes. Clay bars come in 2 main categories—“fine” and “medium”—although some brands have additional sub-categories (e.g., “ultra fine”). Fine grade bars should remove most surface contaminants and any wax, but are less likely to mar the paint finish than medium-grade bars.  In the hands of an experienced auto detailer, medium grade bars usually won’t result in any marring, and can remove a great deal of contamination from a car that’s gone years without a “claying.” However, especially if you’re a novice “clayer,” a fine grade bar is the safer bet. If the clay bar kit doesn’t come with a bottle of lubricating spray, buy a bottle that is the same brand as the bar. They’ll be in the same section of the auto supply store. Clay bars usually come in sizes ranging from 2–8 oz (57–227 g). The 2 oz (57 g) size is more than enough for 1 car, and is a very manageable piece of clay to work with. If you buy a larger bar, you can cut it into sections with a sharp knife and seal up the pieces you don’t need for later use. For example, you can cut a 6 oz (170 g) bar into 3 pieces, use 1 now, and seal the other 2 in zip-close bags. The warmth of your hands will soften the clay as you work it back and forth into a ball shape. Once it softens up, flatten it into a circular shape that is about 0.75 in (1.9 cm) thick. At this thickness, 2 oz (57 g) of clay will create a disc that’s roughly equal to 3-4 finger-widths—which is a perfect size for “claying.”

summary: Wash and dry Buy a fine grade clay bar with its matching lubricating spray. Buy a 2 oz (57 g) bar for 1 car, or cut a larger bar. Squeeze the clay in your hand until it’s a pliable disc.

Sports bras are a smart first choice because they are easy to shop for and are comfortable as well. They will also offer support for your breasts without being constricting. A training bra is similar to a sports bra in that it is generally made from a breathable cotton-blend fabric and offers comfortable support. However, if you are a larger bust size you may need the support of a traditional, underwire bra. If you are not sure that you want a bra quite yet, then you may want to consider buying a few camisole tops. These are light shirts made out of soft fabrics, such as cotton, that have bra support built in. If you feel overwhelmed by the whole process of asking and then shopping, you may just want to go online with your own money and purchase a bra for yourself. Of course, you’ll want to make sure that making this purchase solo will not upset anyone, including your parents. But, you can take your own measurements and then test out at least one option without any pressure. Most stores have bra fitters on staff and they will help you by measuring both your bust and band size. Don’t be nervous or embarrassed about allowing them to measure you as they do this for a living and are used to women of all shapes and sizes. They will then help you to select a handful of bras that fit your body and budget. After you have a bra in your hand in the store, try it on in the dressing room and take some time determining how well it fits. You want a bra that does not squeeze you in an uncomfortable way. You will also want to watch to make sure that the straps are not cutting into your shoulders or back. You should probably buy a handful of bras, somewhere between four to six, when you decide to start wearing them daily. This will allow you to wash them after wearing and will keep the bras in good condition. Don’t feel as if you need to buy all of these at once, you can add to your undergarment wardrobe over time.

summary: Start with a training or sports bra. Buy one on your own. Get measured by a professional. Check the final fit. Consider buying multiples.

In many cases, doctors will simply recommend that you continue getting regular Pap smears to keep an eye on your condition. However, you may also need to have some further testing done. Keep in mind that a pap test is only a screening test, so your doctor can’t tell you what is wrong from this test alone. The colposcopy and biopsies are diagnostic tests that you will need to have done to find out what is going on. If your doctor recommends that precancerous cervical cells be removed, there are several treatment options available. These procedures may sound frightening and painful, but keep in mind that you will likely be given medication to numb your cervix and keep you comfortable.  Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is a procedure in which your doctor cuts out abnormal tissue with a small electrified wire. This procedure is performed at your doctor's office using local anesthesia, and it only takes a few minutes. This is the most common treatment. Cryotherapy is another in-office procedure your doctor can perform by using a cold probe to freeze the abnormal cells. This procedure is very quick and may not require anesthesia. Cold knife conization is a procedure in which your doctor removes the abnormal cells using a scalpel. This procedure requires general anesthesia, so you will have to go to the hospital. Laser therapy is a procedure your doctor performs using a laser to remove the abnormal cells. Like cold knife conization, it is performed at a hospital using general anesthesia. If for any reason you believe that your doctor is not listening to your concerns or treating you effectively, or if you have any lingering questions about what your results mean, consider seeing another doctor. Don’t worry about offending the first doctor: medical professionals should understand and respect a patient’s wish to seek a second opinion. If your doctor thinks you have cancer, he or she will refer you to a specialist. That person can help you navigate the best treatment options for your particular case. Whether you had treatment following your first abnormal Pap smear or not, you should continue getting regular Pap smears as often as your doctor recommends. The frequency will likely decrease after you have had several normal tests in a row.
summary: Find out if any treatment is necessary. Choose the right treatment for you. Get a second opinion. Find a specialist. Continue to get regular Pap smears.
