Queefs. Fanny farts. Vaginal flatulance.

Whatever you call music coming from your undercarriage, it’s likely you hardly ever talk about the magic of air escaping from your vagina. Few of us do.

As loudly as our vaginas like to proclaim their existence (usually right in the middle of a really hot/romantic moment), we’re all a bit shy about acknowledging the existence of the queef.

We don’t talk about vagina farts. We don’t bring them up with our friends and partners. There’s no established method for dealing with them.

Usually with this kind of thing, I’d just accept it’s just a minor part of our… Read the full story

House-hunting can be a real pain, no?

There’s the horror of trying desperately to find a house that has enough rooms for your housemates or family, is in a decent area, and somehow manages to be within a budget too.

Then there’s the stress of working out if you actually like the house. Does the layout work for you? Is the garden big enough?

It’s tough. It’s a struggle. And you never quite know what horror awaits you behind the next door, eagerly opened by the another estate agent.

A shower located in the kitchen, for example. An unreasonable use of the word… Read the full story

If you actually don’t believe that carbs are out to kill you and you’re not a millionaire who exclusively shops in Whole Foods, you’re probably getting sick of the current ‘wellness’ trend.

There has never been more pressure upon us to change our eating habits.

So-called ‘clean-eating’ bloggers like Hemsley + Hemsley and Deliciously Ella have risen to societal guru status and the people we follow on social media tell us daily to be vegan, sugar-free or gluten-free..

But now two women are taking a stand against the ‘wellness’ culture, with its peddling of dubious nutritional advice and scaremongering.

This guy has solved all your commuting problems. No longer will you wake up with your head resting on the shoulder of the irritated commuter next to you. No more will you be woken up every time you lurch towards the floor.

All you need is a strong plunger, some rope, a jaunty trilby and a lot of balls.

National Teddy Bear Day: 15 things you only know if you have a special teddy bear

teddy-main

Let’s be honest, we’ve all got at least one special teddy bear.

The relationship that you have with this teddy bear is like no other, and it is probably your first friend and sleeping companion.

Not only do you most likely keep it a secret from others (fear of judgment obviously) but you get mild anxiety at the thought of being apart for too long.

It’s not even worth thinking about what would happen if you ever lost your special buddy.

1. Goes everywhere

It doesn’t matter if you are stopping the night at your partner’s place, going on a fancy work trip, or even popping to Barcelona for a weekend away with your friends, because of course teddy will be in attendance.

Teddy will be also carried in hand luggage in order to minimise any chance of accidentally losing it.

2. There is a special smell

The special smell most likely has arisen from your reluctance to ever wash teddy,… Read the full story

This is Toby. Whatever evidence there may be to the contrary, Toby has done nothing wrong. He is the innocent party in all this.

He was simply sitting here contemplating life when his owner came in and started throwing baseless accusations around.

Toby’s owner is Kevin Sacks from Runcorn, Liverpool. He thinks Toby is hiding something.

Kevin says he came home one day to find a huge bag of dog food torn open with debris strewn around the living room, and his Great Dane sat with his paws crossed on the sofa eyeballing him.

Kevin decided to question the dog and film his reaction.

Admit it. There’s been at least one time when you’ve been playing around with Snapchat filters and paused for a moment, saddened by the realisation that you look your best when masquerading as a puppy.

It sucks. Firstly because none of us should look better as dogs. Secondly because our hotter, doggier selves have been trapped in the imaginary world of Snapchat, with no way to unveil them to the greater public.

Until now.

Working in an office is a bit like being a school kid again. You have to do what you’re told. The canteen is usually crap. Nine times out of ten, you’d rather be somewhere else.

But one company has gone to the next level in unleashing their inner children in the workplace by fooling them into thinking they’re back at their seventh birthday party.

By installing a ball pit in their office.

Man explains why he’ll never date a feminist, learns that no feminist will ever want to date him anyway

Meet Dave Hon, digital editor of St. Joseph News-Press, singleton, and enjoy of margaritas (or margs, as he likes to call them).

Dave Hon doesn’t want to ever date a feminist.

He really, really doesn’t want to date a feminist. Please, feminists, stop throwing yourself at Dave Hon. He isn’t interested.

He’s so uninterested in dating feminists, in fact, that Dave Hon decided to write an article titled: ‘Why I’ll never date a feminist’.

Because it was something everyone needed to know, you know?

The reasons Dave Hon will never date a feminist are rich and varied, but essentially boil down to the idea that feminists hate men, rape culture isn’t a thing, and sexism and oppression don’t exist – and that none of these concerns have a place in the romantic world of dating.

Right then.

‘If you look for a reason to hate men, chances are you’re going… Read the full story

Three years ago, Rob Biddulph’s youngest daughter, Poppy, was making the big move from nursery to primary school.

Poppy, then four, had only ever spent a morning at nursery and she was worried about staying in school for lunch.

So, Dad, who’s a London-based author, illustrator and designer, drew a picture on a Post-It note and popped it in her lunchbox, so she knew he was thinking of her.

‘That evening she asked what I was going to draw for the following day. 600 post-its later we’re still going,’ Rob told Metro.co.uk.

10 questions that irritate the absolute hell out of new parents

You can’t imagine extreme tiredness until you have a baby.

Grandparents will have long forgotten this stage, and friends without kids may think you’re making a bit of a fuss, which makes you grouchier.

Any insinuation you are doing things slightly wrong by your newborn, or worse, are having some sort of extended holiday, will be very, very badly received. And you’ll need to use all your willpower to bat off the comments.

1. Is he/she sleeping through the night yet? (twice a day minimum)

Answer: No, not yet. Here’s hoping!

Real answer: Are you completely f*cking crazy!? He’s only a month old. He wakes about 80 times. I am so spaced out, it should be illegal for me… Read the full story

Well Aurora is that kitty.

Named after the original Sleeping Beauty, the Blue Bicolor Ragdoll is the fluffiest most beautiful cat of them all.

No one wants to be the person sat next to a screaming baby on a long flight. So, being the parent of a screaming baby on a plane must be a complete nightmare.

Imagine then, how one tired, pregnant mum felt flying back to Georgia when her son began to cry. And a random guy came along to help her out.

Earlier this week, GAFollowers shared a Facebook post telling how this stranger came up to the woman telling her that he was a dad and wanted to help her so she could rest.

Question: Tell me what you think about me.

Sorry, Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle, but technically that wasn’t a question, more of a command, really.

Still, we get your point.

There are hundreds of questions that flow through our heads – some are important, some less so.

Without them we couldn’t function. Asking ourselves questions is what makes us human beings.

And here are the questions you ask yourself every day, with the likely answers.

When it comes to diversity, the range of models walking the runways at New York Fashion Week is still fairly lacking.

So we happily welcome any model that doesn’t fit the super slim, white, blonde with perfect skin stereotype.

But this particular model is even more applause-worthy.

Two years ago, Reshma Qureshi was the victim of an acid attacks in India. She suffered severe burns to her face and lost her left eye.

For a while after the attack, Reshma fell into depression and says she contemplated suicide.
