Excellent photo to go with the article. Looks very true. :-) I know I have to lower myself into cold water very carefully at that stage.

It doesn’t bother me nearly as much as getting my belly and lower back in, but that’s not nearly as funny for the purposes of the blog.

Omg LOL. I love that you wrote this--I saw the same article and was one of the FFS!!! ers. xD When I started reading it I was terrified it was going to end in some stupid ad for some kind of 'chapstick' that we won't go into detail about!!

It's great! I agree perfect photo to go with it. :)

You mean VulvaStick? It has been suggested as a new product line (not by me - I wish I was that clever).

Oh no it's real

Oh god I'm gagging here lolol

Well, clearly I'm not giving up long, hot baths either. Not that I have a need to wick excess moisture away any time of the year, but those wooly undies seem like they'd be fantastic for those cold, winter events. It's a great article!

[siglinde99]

I wouldn’t give up the hot baths either. I think the undies could be great for winter sports; I have never been to a winter event where I have cold enough to need wool undies. I am usually too hot! And thanks.

All of our events here are in Winter, as Summer is just too hot (usually). In a tent in a field in the wind at 6 degrees is chilly at night!

[siglinde99]

We have different definitions of cold and how our events adapt. 6C at night is a pleasant early fall camping event. Winter can be -30 or even colder sometimes, so events are held indoors. I was recently at an event where there was a hope we could be outside, but it turned out to be near freezing, rainy and windy. I had dressed to be outside and foolishly left a linen overdress at home in case that didn’t work out. Most people ended up staying inside except to eat, and I nearly roasted in my heavy wool.
