Oh Kat I agree with you,  I know two girls who when to the same surgeons and have different results,  It is up to the individual and the luck of the draw.

Yeah, and isn't this all about being happy with who you are? Instead people just constantly compare their results to others,"Mine is deeper than yours, I have more sensation than you, etc, etc, etc." Average natal depth is less than that of what most people assert that Thai surgeons deliver, so why do I want that much more depth? Make no sense whatsoever. Reminds me far too much of the other genders constant obsession with the size of theirs.

Inherent "male" characteristic--hmmmm.

Could we get back on topic, please?  See TOS rule 15.

And please don't get into whose vagina is deeper and all that.  I see that as a violation of rule 10 and will deal with it as such.

Have a nice day.

My dr said to NEVER douche and I havent.  I am 9mths post now and I use lube everyday.  I inject it inside of me prior to sex and dilation.  My vagina stank one time 4 weeks after surgery and it was a fishy smell and the dr told me to just take an epson salt bath and open my legs and I did and the smell went away and I havent had a problem since.  Our vaginas ARE self cleansing.  I wear a thin pad everyday and whatever was IN my  vagina is always on the pad, meaning the lube.  Your vagina will push all foreign matter out.  Believe it or not, our vaginas are REAL and not fake.  We are equivalent to a natal female who has had a hystorectomy.  Neither of us have a uterus anymore.  I eat yogurt 4 times a week and I drink a juice foritified with live probitiotic cultures on the other days. 

Whatever works for any of us should be fine. 

Apparently the post women who do douche dont have a problem and the ones who dont either.  So MAYBE they both are fine.  I douche only once when a condom broke on me out of fear.  No one has ejaculated in me since 1982 and I felt nasty when that condom broke and I douched then out of a compulsive obsession to NOT having bodily fluids in my body.

Ok. to get back on topic.
The package of condoms arrived from China yesterday.
100 Durex for under $14.00. That makes it 14 cents each. Not bad for a disposible item.

I tried one last night and dispite the instructions in chinese they performed like any other.

Two other things.
1) I use condoms for several reasons.
A) Cleanlyness
B) the dialtors I was given by the surgeon have the measurements indented in the surface. Though I sanded them with 2000 grit wet and dry sandpaper, can cause scratches on the vaginal opening which is uncomfortable. The condoms "smooth" out the insertion.
For me its primarily a personal prefrence nothing more. New girls can use them or not.

2) Vaginal depth has several factors.
A) Surgical skill of the doctor
B) Techniques used
C) Elasticity, age and hyrdration of the tissues used
D) Age and healthyness of the client.
E) Post operative care by the client.
Geographical location of the surgery has very little to do with it.

What people don't realise is that the trans vagina is a wound, and like any wound, requires cleaning and care until it heals. No other surgical wound on the body is self-cleaning, so why the hell this one should be different is totally baffling.
SRS does not magically create a cis vagina.

Fine, go ahead and do what you want to do.  But don't think everyone else should do the same, we're not lemmings.  And as I said before my doctor didn't recommend it, I didn't do it and 4 years later I'm just fine.  No UTI's, no yeast infections and no complications whatsoever.

Wow. I didnt get a lot of info from my doctor, found this place and thought I found a useful resource. A place with people like me, who struggled to gain control over their lives and the astounding lack of good information.

My doctor said to use condoms, he didnt say when to stop. I suppose other doctors have other techniques and treatments.
I posted about inexpensive condoms I found, a reliable name brand, for those that might have been given the same information by their doctor.

One doctor says to douche. Another says no. Mine said to douche with a small amount of betadine during the initial healing.
Its a medical opinion and all are valid options.

We are different from most of the world, we grew up under different psychological challenges and for the most part, we succedded. We, on this segment of the forum, have made that step through surgery. We are a minority in this world dispite all we do.

I came here to learn and to share the things I learned. But this thread degenerated into a name calling, petulant spewing, that lacks any good information for new girls coming in.  Stinky pussy and lemmings? Yup, we just told the new pewrson we know how to share information and can learn new things.

It's the decline of civility, JulieMac, and it's happening all around us--even here.  Love yourself and spread that love to all those around you--that's all I can suggest. :-\

Juliemac your comments were very informative.  I went to a support group a couple of months ago and spent a couple hundred of my dollars to buy seats at a motivational seminar.  I was so excited to offer the tickets to the group.  Guest what they did?  They laughed at me.  They said one of the speakers was against LGBT and dismissed my gesture made with good intentions.   I left the meeting in progress and never returned.  I attended the motivational meetings by myself.  They were excellent.

The word "wound" was upsetting in that I have enough wounds that no one sees.  However, I do like the bath idea.  That sounds nice.  Very nice thread.
