OMG! My mother in law just lent us the spa bath we got her for her birthday a while back.
I was curious as to why she didn't include the attchment bit.
Oh how embarrassing, I'm blushing just thinking about it, it's not the kind of thing you imagine your mother in law doing is it.
Oh dear.
Between you and Nyssa, I can't look at TeddyBears or In-laws without blushing ever again.

Well my mum bought ours for hubby...we spent alot of time wondering if she realised she'd bought us a sex toy ....they're dual purpose.

I wouldn't worry about the in laws...it took us a while to figure out how the attatchment fits...she might just never use it...or she didn't want you using it inappropraitely

I still trying my hardest not to imagine any possibilities at all.
*shudder*


Actually I get on really well with my wife's mum, she's very cool. We are always flirting with each other. I'll have to mention the attachment over xmas dinner and see how red she goes

Ladyshaves too eh? You are a resourceful little lady aren't you.
Doesn't the fear of getting the shaving bits caught up in your erm delicate bits worry you? Or do you just keep the business end of the shaver well clear, or even leave the cover on it.

Sorry for the pervy questions, but you have me inrtigued now!

The shaving bits pull off for cleaning I usually cover up the moving parts as well so as not to get anything snagged

The build quality on purpose built gizmos is usually so poor, and there is no comeback once they break...which they always do

And don't worry about the pervy questions...although I should point out that I hardly ever use these *devices*...hubby is more than capable

Hi there PQ

Very convenient that the sharp bits come off for cleaning. Cunning design ploy, or pure chance by the manufacturer?
If you take the cover off a blokes shaver you're left with some very nasty looking blades, wuddn't want that whizzing anywhere near my privates!

I'm quite proud to report my wife has never really used them either, so I guess I must be doing something right .

I often give her bikini line a trim (crew cut) using my shaver, but I'd never thought of putting it to that use before.
She's in for a surprise

Hi PQ,
Sorry to butt in again before you've had a chance to reply. But I just read your rather angry post in the breast size thread.
You really shouldn't be so negative about your body, I bet it isn't a fraction as undesirable as you think it is. You good man obviously thinks it's sexy if he keeps you erm, how shall I put it, from buying too many batteries

If you can fit in a pair of size 14 trousers you are not fat. No woman, however perfect has symetrical boobs, so don't worry about yours. Having broad shoulders and long arms isn't ug. Having a low opinion of your own body is.

Come on, it's christmas, give your body the best present you can and appreciate it for what it's worth!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you sound like you have a man who fancies you, therefore you must be beautiful.

Dont panic...I only get depressed/feel fat/unsexy/ug when I go shopping, but I've been shopping with the skinniest/sexiest girls and they've been just as depressed.

Shops are evil and bad

Thank god for online shopping, I say!
I avoid real shops like the plague, only go when they are next to empty.
Why does the proximity of cash registers and sales assitants turn everyone into rude obnoxious inconsiderate people?

Thankfully my wife actually enjoys shopping, she spent 2 hours queueing up for a loaf of bread and a cake today, with two kids in tow, what joy!

Well I've just been to do the final xmas food shop, unfortunately I got back and realised I forgot to get clingfilm so I'll have to pop out tomorrow...I was going to pop into M&S food bit tomorrow anyway to see if I could spot any bargains .

Hubby is giving my money to buy some new clothes for my xmas present so I'm quite looking forward to the sales...it's always more fun shopping when you've got some cash to spend.

I gave my family cheap n cheerful presents this yr (mainly from online shops) so I haven't had to brave the xmas madness. Some shops wind me up no matter what time of year, tescos and woolworths both always leave me stressed, even when I don't buy anything, I think its to do with the lighting and the accoustics

Cheap and cheerful presents are often the best ones I recieve. It's the thought and gesture that goes into a present, not the monetary value that counts.

It's the people in shops that agrevate me, but the big wharehouse style ones are intimidating.
Have a good xmas mate.

Me and a couple of female friends were talking about shopping the other day and they seemed to think that different mirrors in different shops were better than others for trying clothes on-
"Ooh, River Island mirrors are great, anything you wear looks good in them!"
"Ooh, you're right, but I can't try anything on in Next, their mirrors just make me look so fat, it's depressing."

Do different shops actually engineer their mirrors to give a "Circus Hall of Mirrors" style slimming effect? Would this be legal?

H&m have lovely changing rooms, same with M&S - big, with a seat, the door/curtain closes properly and the lighting is honest.

I don't know about river island, I went through a phase of loving all their clothes a few yrs back (when I was a student and couldn't afford any of it) now I've got a job I walk round the shop grimacing at the nasty stuff.

The lighting is the thing that makes the difference, harsh daylight lighting makes you look real (knackered, a bit sweaty and fed up of shopping usually) and highlights lumps and bumps and makes your skin look awful. Subtle lighting disguises a lot of these things and makes the clothes look better on you, which is why you end up buying things and hating them once you try them on at home.

Some changing rooms have the "rear veiw" mirror as well which makes a huge difference...when you try things on in shops you suck everything in at the front and put your shoulders back...looks great from the front but looks awful from behind, if there are no rear view mirrors you don't realise.

Next is too expensive for me (I could afford to shop there but I won't while there are new looks and matalans in this world<tightgit&gt £30 for a t shirt the stingy part of me wont allow it

Stingy? You mean how your wallet feels after a big sting? Or did you mean stinghy? No, stingey...no, wait...Christ, I can't spell it now
