Idea for Fem Littles During Your Monthly

[Akuchiakuba]

I know this is probably a difficult topic for a lot of you, but I'm here to hopefully make it a little better! So female littles in my previous community always had a problem of staying in little space when they were cramping and not feeling good during their time of the month. Maybe a lot of you have seen these around or heard of them, but I just managed to get mine today, so I thought I would talk about them a little.

 

They're called Warmies, at least the brand sold in my town goes by that name, and they're little stuffed animals you can heat up like a heating pad in the microwave. A lot of the ones I see have a removable pouch you heat, but the ones I got today say to put the whole doll in there, and there is no way to open them. 0-0 So I guess they come in all shapes and sizes. Normally, they're expected to be given to kids when they're sick and don't feel good, but I think these are a great way for littles going through their period to make it through the cramps while still feeling little! Heat is very helpful for cramps, and what better way to stay little than have a cute stuffy that can help soothe your aches and pains? There are all kinds of animals, too! I have a couple of sheep here, my representative animal. ^^ You can probably find one of your favorite animals, too, I'm willing to bet.

 

Have any of you tried this before? If so, how did I work out? Are there any brands you recommend to me or anyone else here? Let me know what you all think! ^^ I love hearing from you!

Aww, these seem really cute!!! What a great idea for littles who need a kind of hot water bottle! My cramps are not so severe so I can get away with not using one.

 

I actually don't have trouble staying little during my time of the month. I did first get it when I was in 5th grade, after all. It doesn't bother me because being little to me is all in my personality and doesn't change no matter how my body ages. Just a different perspective.

Yes! I love those, I have a purple owl and it also smells like lilac when you heat it up for extra comfort 

 

Something else that always helps me stay feeling little is having little snackies that I crave during that time, so either chocolates in fun shapes or princess fruit snacks or "rainbow unicorn" ice cream (they sell it at my local grocery store, not sure if y'all have ever seen it, it's pink and blue with sprinkles in it!) and also wearing comfy clothes that make me feel little. Most of my little clothes are not really comfort-focused, but I have a single outfit that I always wear if I want to do little and comfort at the same time (it's my little pony pajamas lol but the pants are passable enough to wear outside the house if needed).

Wow, it's really cool that you can make it through with no trouble in that regard! I'm glad that at least isn't an issue. ^^ My cramps, while infrequent, can be absolutely devastating, so I had worked on this for a little while. I hope other littles can find it useful, too!

 

Having your little nature ingrained in your personality sounds kind of tough, though. My whole family is really uncomfortable with the fact that I'm a little, so I don't know if I could get away with having a personality reflecting that. ^^` Granted, I do still do some things that has them "concerned", so I wonder if that's what that is. Do you have a difficult time with it? If so, how do you manage that?

I have seen that ice cream! I always wanted to try it, but I haven't gotten the chance yet. =v=;;; It doesn't look appealing to the other people in my family, and we only ever buy a dessert for everyone (as opposed to personal desserts). Using snacks and pjs sounds like a super comfy way to stay little during your period, so I think next time I'm definitely going to try that out. ꉂꉂ ( ˆ▽ˆ ) I have Care Bear and Snow White pjs myself, so I should have plenty of options. Thanks so much for your response!

Yeah, I guess I'm pretty lucky in that regard.

 

Well I've always been the way I am so my family just accepts it. I'm on the autism spectrum so they already knew I'm "different". It was a bit harder in high school and college because my parents were more concerned with me "growing up" (and I didn't know what being a little was yet either), but I still learned how to do important adult things like drive a car and get a job. Jobs for me have been hard because I wanted to work outside like as a park ranger and I've gotten into the environmental education field but most of it is seasonal (and now with covid I got laid off and haven't worked in a year) but my parents are supportive of me doing what I really want to do. I still live with my parents because I haven't managed to be financially independent yet and my seasonal work is always in a completely different place so it's hard to move, but my family can afford to support me. They know I'm trying hard. My little interests are also things like vintage winnie the pooh and flower print stuff, which isn't really all that strange. My mom even has found me a classic Pooh print tea towel at a thrift store and bought it for me for my future home. 

 

Every family is different and yours might be more strict I guess or intolerant of differences. Maybe they're just afraid you'll be left behind and think "tough love" is the right thing to do. Perhaps showing them that you're capable of independence despite your love of cute things will help them accept who you are. Especially if you show no sign of changing the things you like, they'll either have to learn to accept it or always be opposed, and who wants to do that? I've never used the term "little" with my family. I didn't even know what a little was until I was 28 and I felt no reason to share that revelation with them since it wouldn't change who I was anyway. Did you use the word "little"? If so, they could also have preconceived judgements that they are projecting onto you. I suggest you stay strong and explain that loving cute or childlike things doesn't impair your ability to live a happy, successful life.

I do use the term little, but I also had every intention to keep it to myself. I don't have privacy, however, in my household, and my old community was discovered, wherein I was approached to explain myself. As far as independence goes, well... In my current state, I don't think it's possible for me. Not because I'm little, but because I have an... Anxiety? Social phobia? I couldn't tell you exactly, since I've never been to a doctor or diagnosed, but it is very similar to social anxiety or agoraphobia. I'm terrified of people and social situations and it's next to impossible for me to do anything on my own. I did have a job for a while working at an animal shelter. I loved working with the animals and could have spent my whole life doing that, but the people were much more difficult. I regularly had moments at work where I would break down while trying to do my work, and I got to a point where I was getting sick every morning thinking about going in. I eventually had to quit to take care of my grandfather, but I don't think I would have lasted much longer anyway. Driving a car is a similar situation. I had a very scary encounter where I was attempting to drive and almost got blindsided by a car coming around a curve. I slammed on the breaks and the car behind me started blaring it's horn. I started having a panic attack and ended up driving off the side of the road, thank God there was a shoulder.

 

Now I'm living with my sibling and taking care of their house for them. They pay me a little every week for it, but they don't approve of me being little. They said that if I just liked cute things, or I just regressed, they wouldn't be bothered. But because I like cute things, and regress, and don't like to cuss, and am sex-repulsed all at the same time, that it's concerning. So they give me little gifts and supports the lifestyle, but they don't approve of it at all, so I try not to be little or use anything I have around them.

My friend has one of these! It's a bear and he's lavender-scented, he's awesome.

Mine has a lavender scent, too! And the smell seems to get stronger when you heat them up, so they're really lovely to cuddle. ^v^ A bear sounds so cute! But since I represent myself as a sheep, that's what they got me. •v• Edited February 12, 2021 by Akuchiakuba

I have a warmies too!! He's a puppy dog that I named Maple!! He's a huge help when I have my yucky monthly time, I definitely recommend them!!

[Quirkygrl16]

I love this idea

[Guest Little_Laney]

I have one too! It's a fox that I named Ferno (as in "inferno", fire) Lol. He has been very helpful during that time of month. Also when I'm just plain achy cuz my body wants to get older.

[Guest UnicornPuff]

This is really awesome. I almost always need a heating pad during my big girl time. A warm stuffy would be amazing

[WolfieDeamhain]

[Akuchiakuba]

I've been experimenting with my own, and I have found that if I put them in longer than the recommended time I get better results. Obviously you wouldn't want them to get super hot if you were just keeping a warm bottle for your child, but more heat is usually better for cramps. So the max on mine is 30 seconds, and they seem to be just fine if I put them in there for 1 minute. They'll be a lot hotter and do a better job of easing my cramps. I thought this info might be good for anyone who has some but don't feel like their gets quite hot enough.

[LGbubbles23]

I love the heat warmies ❤

I also got a squishmallow recently (I have a swan & a blue bird)

They are amazing to squish when you feel poorly

I have a warmable stuffie, but he’s just a toy and most often I hug him because of the calming weight, without even warming him. I don’t really need him because I don’t have bad cramps, barely any, but I feel so dirty and insecure and nervous and stressed and disgusted and my body dysphoria awakens and I find it more difficult to be Little.

My solution is diapers or pull-ups! I can wear expensive thick diapers with cute pictures sometimes at home or at night, and cheaper thin pull-ups otherwise and even in public. I feel so confident, I don’t need to worry about leaking everywhere and I feel so small and safe! It’s of course more expensive than pads, and I must remember to wear loose clothes, but it’s truly worth it! With a pull-up I barely remember that I’m having the terrible days! This realization was like a weight had been taken off my shoulders! It’s like I won the control back, I won my traitor body!
