article: The menstrual cup is a good option for women that exercise regularly. Some disposable cups can be worn during sexual intercourse..  The disposable menstrual cup is not a form of birth control and does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.  The reusable cups are made of a more solid material and are not to be inserted or in place during sexual intercourse.  Menstrual cups can be worn during physical exercise such as swimming, playing sports, or bicycling. The use of typical feminine hygiene products require changing every few hours. But menstrual cups can be in place for as long as 12 hours.  In addition, menstrual pads can cause an odor since your flow is exposed to air.  The menstrual cup collects the flow inside your vagina and prevents any problems with an odor. Provided you keep your cup clean, this method of managing your menstrual flow has a lower risk of infection.  There is no change in the pH of your vaginal area with the use of a menstrual cup and there are no problems with tiny tears in the surrounding vaginal tissue, as can happen with the use of tampons.  Changes in the pH and “micro-tears” can lead to bacterial infection. This is avoided with the use of a menstrual cup. The menstrual cups advertised and sold in the United States have been approved by the FDA. The FDA has deemed menstrual cups to be safe for use. Most companies use hypoallergenic and nontoxic materials in the manufacturing process. Some menstrual cups can be used safely by women with latex allergies. Check the product literature to be sure. Toxic Shock Syndrome has been linked to the vaginal use of tampons during menstruation.  Toxic shock syndrome is a bacterial infection linked to problems with the use of tampons.  There have been no reports of toxic shock syndrome reported due to the use of menstrual cups. Reusable cups save money and are considered to be eco-friendly.  The purchase of a menstrual cup is more costly than purchasing a package of tampons or pads, but your menstrual cup purchase will last for years. The disposable cups are less costly than the reusable cups and are comparable in price to other feminine hygiene products, depending on where you shop.  The reusable cups prevent the accumulation of feminine hygiene products that end up in landfills. Once you are comfortable with insertion and removal, using a menstrual cup is an easy way to take care of your monthly period.  Every manufacturer offers step-by-step instructions on both insertion and removal contained within their product literature, available online at their product websites, and many offer YouTube videos to help with understanding the procedures.  The cup is folded, then gently slid into the vagina aimed toward the back, then given a little push to secure it in place.  Remove the cup by pinching the base, then pulling it out. Do not pull directly on the stem, since the cup is secured by suction. By pulling on the stem, you can cause injury to the surrounding tissues.

Add the diced tomatoes. Add 4-6 cups of chicken, beef, or vegetable stock. Cook the soup to cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Check that the potatoes and carrots are cooked. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you desire. Serve and enjoy your delicious vegetable soup."
article: For a vegetable soup that does not use broth, add 4-6 cups of water into a large pan, and simmer all the ingredients for 45 minutes to 1 hour, using a very low heat. Add all the vegetables, garlic, and spices at the same time.  The pan needs to be large enough to include the 4 cups of vegetable stock, so choose a heavy-bottomed stockpot.  Do not boil the water; this may cause the vegetables to burn. Stir the soup occasionally. When all of the vegetables are soft, the soup is ready to be served. For a quicker vegetable soup, you will need to sauté the vegetables and use broth. Heat the olive oil until it begins to slightly bubble.  Lower heat will make the process go very slowly, and higher heat will cause the oil to burn. If you don't have olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, avocado oil, or butter is also acceptable. Continue to cook these for about 8 minutes over low heat. They will begin to simmer and will become fragrant. Stir them occasionally, about once every minute. This includes the green beans, celery, corn, and any other vegetables you will include in the soup. Sauté the vegetables over low heat for another 5 minutes. You will know the vegetables are well-cooked when they become soft and fragrant; you never want the vegetables to turn dark brown.  Stir the vegetables occasionally with a long wooden or metal stirring stick. Twice every minute should suffice. If your vegetables start to get very hot and sizzle constantly, this means they are frying. Turn the heat down if this happens. Turn the heat up if the vegetables are not sizzling at all. Stir the pot to make sure the ingredients are all mixing together. Then, increase the heat to high. This will cause the vegetables to simmer. If the soup begins to boil, lower the heat a little bit. You will need to watch the soup and make sure it doesn’t go beyond a simmer  Turn down the heat to medium or low if it boils. You want the soup to bubble slightly but not to be at a rolling boil. If you had turned down the heat of the soup, it may be appropriate to turn it up again to medium or high so the soup returns to a simmer. After 25-30 minutes, the potatoes and carrots should be soft. If a fork can pass easily through an entire chunk of potato or carrot without stopping at any hard spots, your soup is done. After you add a bit of each seasoning, stir thoroughly to mix the spice into the entire soup. Taste test to see if the amount of spices is to your liking. In general, start with just 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of each spice, including salt and pepper. Then, add more if you want a stronger flavor.  Be careful because it's a lot easier to add spices to a soup than it is to take them out. If you would like to season the soup further, you can add more spices or seasonings, such as dry or fresh oregano, thyme, or parsley. Dried Italian seasoning blends or poultry seasoning are good additions as well. Spices like cayenne and red pepper flakes will make the soup spicy. Carefully ladle the soup into bowls—remember, the soup will be very hot.

article:
The first thing that will be done when you get CIT is to have your face cleansed and sterilized. After your face is cleaned, the practitioner will apply a topical numbing cream onto the affected area. This will be left on for 20 to 30 minutes. Since the procedure requires the use of needles, a numbing agent is used to ease pain or discomfort. However, you still may feel some discomfort or minimal pain. Your treatment will either be done via a needle roller or a needle pen. The practitioner will move the roller or pen over your skin, puncturing the skin in evenly space wounds.  This procedure takes anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the extent of the area being treated. Most people find the treatment uncomfortable, but not extremely painful. After the treatment, your skin will be red or pink for 12 to 24 hours. Most people can return to work the day afterwards.  If you have sensitive skin, your skin may be redder longer. If extremely long needles were used, it might take longer for the redness to subside, too.  Some people might experience slight swelling or bruising. Your skin might be warm, itchy, or tight after the procedure. Others might peel. This is normal. You should follow all post-treatment care your practitioner provides. This helps keep your skin from scarring or becoming damaged.  Stay out of the sun for two days after the treatment. Wear hats, scarves, or other garments to cover your skin if you have to go outside for 24 hours after the procedure. Stay out of tanning beds after the procedure. Only use lukewarm water to clean your face for two days after the treatment. Gently pat the area dry. Don’t rub the area. Don’t touch the area with dirty hands. This helps reduce risk of infection. Refrain from putting on most makeup for 12 hours after the treatment. Your practitioner can give you mineral makeup that can be applied a few hours after treatment. Follow any skincare regimes and use any skincare products given to you by your practitioner. Avoid cosmetic products with alpha or beta hydroxy acids, vitamin A, benzoyl peroxide, or alcohol for two days after the procedure. CIT requires multiple treatments to be effective. In most cases, two to three treatments will be needed. These treatments are generally four to six weeks apart.  In cases of bad scars or stretch marks, you made need five or more treatments. You should start seeing results in two to eight weeks. Some people don’t see results for up to three months.  For maximum results, complete all follow-up visits suggested by your practitioner. Though CIT is best done by a medical professional, there are at-home products you can use for minor cosmetic purposes. Home rollers or pens have shorter needles that can be used a few times a week. At-home needling devices are used to reduce the size of large pores, help with oil production, help with fine lines, and help the effectiveness of topical agents.  You can use at-home CIT with vitamin C serums. It generally takes one to two hours for the wounds to heal after an at-home needling. If you use an at-home roller, make sure to buy a quality one, such as the Derma Roller home roller. It’s pivotal to get quality needles. Products sold on the internet may not be top quality and can cause damage to your skin.
