Go on Instagram and you could be forgiven for thinking that you’re the only one who looks like a sweaty tomato when working out.

There you are, scarlet coloured and dripping after your weekly hockey game, jog or gym session, with a triangle of sweat slowly forming around your crotch.

If you have recently been cheated on, I am so, so sorry. It’s worse than being dumped outright: infidelity causes a particularly exquisite pain thanks to the lies and the shame.

There is no quick way to get over a cheating ex; if there were, the experience would be like ripping off a plaster, rather than tearing into epidermal layers with your teeth.

Why you need to ditch the ‘friend’ who has friend zoned you

There are few things more intensely irritating than going from stroking your freshly shaved, super smooth pubic area/legs/underarms to looking the next day and seeing a bunch of angry red bumps.

They’re sore. They can’t be satisfyingly popped. You know that if you dig around with a pair of tweezers, you might be able to get rid of the bugger, but you’ll be left with a scar.

The curse of ingrown hairs is infuriating.

For the last three nights I’ve had less than five hours sleep. In theory that gives me 19 hours of awake time to Get Stuff Done. Right? Wrong.

At least three of those hours were spent lying awake worrying that I wasn’t asleep or wishing that one or other of my kids would go back to sleep so I could do the same before the inevitable 5am wake up call. Anyone else actually looking forward to darker mornings?

Trying to get the morning-after pill can be really stressful.

Once you realise you need one, you’ve got to get yourself to a pharmacy or clinic as soon as you can.

Heather Watson wants you to know that no one looks hot doing sports all the time

Then you’ve got to answer a load of humiliating, probing questions – often in front of other people on the shop floor.

And once you’ve gone through that, you’ve got to hand over £25 for a tiny pill.

Sure, you could get it for free from a GUM clinic but unless you live near one or you have the time to… Read the full story

Before she transitioned, transgender woman Christine Decker made headlines for battling an extremely rare condition: persistent genital arousal syndrome.

As Dale, for five years she put up with a pelvis that went into spasms almost constantly, leaving her suffering from hundreds of uncontrollable orgasms a day.

I deleted Tinder in a drunken ‘I want to buck the trend and meet someone normally’ fit of rage while on the night train home in November last year.

I was bored with the failed anticipation. I was bored with the sometimes married, sometimes deranged men I’d get matched with. I was bored with the ache in my thumb and the lull in my expectations.

Twitter threads are often insightful, helpful, and moving.

Women responds to unsolicited d*ck pics by sending them to the guy's mum

They’ve been used a lot recently by people wanting to share more complex thoughts that just don’t fit into that 140 character limit. Or by people who want to inspire hours of nostalgia.

But sometimes one becomes popular for all the wrong reasons, like this ‘advice’ thread posted by user stfushifa.

Five friends from Santa Barbara, California, go on vacation every five years to the same place to recreate a group photo they’ve been taking since 1982.

There's a growing backlash against bloggers and celebs saying 'I drink water'

The photos started when the John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and John Dickson were all just 19 years old and graduating from high school.

In 2012, at the age of 48, the men took their seventh group… Read the full story

There’s nothing worse than getting to the station and realising you’ve forgotten your Oyster Card.

One man in Sydney has devised a way to never suffer the embarrassment of fumbling around in the queue for your card again.

Londoners might have made a name for themselves for being obsessed with all things wellness but we’re not the UK’s healthiest community.

Not by a long shot.

Stop with your simple eye makeup: Unicorn horn eyeliner is here

If you want to see what healthy living really looks like, you might want to head over to the west country instead, because Bristol has just been named the healthiest city in the UK.

And it’s closely followed by Liverpool and Norwich.

On the other end of the scale, Glasgow has been reported to be the least healthy place to live in Britain.

Writers Alice Wright and Bibi Lynch like to discuss the ‘grass is greener’ stuff.

And with their different lives – Alice has a husband, a child, a home and dogs; Bibi has freckles, ready-packed suitcases and a not unimpressive collection of dick pix – they have plenty to say to each other.

Today, Bibi makes Alice defend those parents who no longer hang out with their childless friends.

Poor Alice.

Bibi: I feel bad for you today. For today you have to defend all the awful parents who decide to dump their single/no-kids friends. Why does it happen? Do you agree it does happen?

Alice: Am damn sure it does happen, but I am also sure it doesn’t happen for nefarious reasons.

I may have been a bit guilty of it, but I don’t think you’re aware of it happening at the time – and then it’s probably too late and the cliche has become true. So have you been dumped by… Read the full story

Everybody has that friend who has perfectly clear skin, a Victoria’s Secret body, and the attitude of a sprightly Snow White (pre-poisoned apple, of course).

Stop food-shaming in the office

‘What’s your secret?’ we ask, hoping to find out some magical concoction that’ll give us their other-worldly glow.

‘I just drink plenty of water,’ they say, to groans from everybody listening.

Surely it can’t be that easy, and surely it can’t be that cheap.

Well, Twitter has been sharing our sentiments in the last few days with a backlash against beauty bloggers claiming H2O to be their cure-all in life.

It seems a waste to lock yourself in the gym during the summer.

There you are, surrounded by concrete and sweaty, grunting weightlifters when you could be outside making the most of the relaxed vibes and lovely weather (OK, not this week maybe…).

And if you’re trying to get into running, there’s no better time to start.

On last night’s First Dates, dater Anne accuses her date, Chaka, of being a ‘pillow princess’.

Chaka did explain what Anne had meant by calling her a pillow princess, thanks to her nails, but clearly a lot of people were making cups of tea during that bit and returned to their screens confused – because there’s been a bump in people searching for what exactly a ‘pillow princess’ is.

So, here’s the answer.

There are loads of reasons you might not be able to wear high heels.

The joys of not wearing high heels

Maybe you have arthritis, like me. Or bunions, or a dodgy Achilles, or back problems, or you’re recovering from an injury.

Or maybe you just can’t walk in the damn things, or you simply can’t be arsed to subject yourself to agony for the sake of slightly longer-looking legs. Fair enough.

Since I had to throw out all my heels – even the relatively little ones – I’ve seen some positive side-effects, and some really bloomin’ annoying ones.

We may be known as a nation of dog lovers.

But for some, especially children, the sight of our four-legged friends can cause panic and distress.

Loving, adorable, gentle giants – 23 things every St Bernard owner knows

A phobia of dogs, known as Cynophobia, is one of the UK’s top 15 fears, according to a YouGov survey, while the Dogs Trust claims over a third of children are scared of the nation’s favourite pet.

Six year-old Esther was one of those children who panicked when she came into contact with a dog.

Bow down to our new ruler, Simba the Bengal cat. He’s already mastered the porcelain throne – it’s only natural he’ll become actual royalty next.

Simba is a cat who likes to use the toilet as though he were a human.

Women responds to unsolicited d*ck pics by sending them to the guy's mum

His owner, Lisa Marie Barrett, first noticed Simba’s skills when she was getting ready for work on 22 June, and noticed Simba behaving strangely around the bathroom.

She peeked in to discover that Simba had hopped up on the toilet seat, and was peeing just as he’d learned from… Read the full story

Over the past few months we’ve seen all things unicorn. From unicorn-inspired food to unicorn nails, people just can’t get enough of the mythical creature. 

There's a growing backlash against bloggers and celebs saying 'I drink water'

Now, beauty bloggers are incorporating the magical creature into their makeup – by fashioning their eyeliner into colourful unicorn horns.

Instead of lining their eyelids with black liquid or sticking to some glittery eyeshadow, bloggers are combining the two to create unicorn horn flicks, filled in with white and rainbow colours.

By adding swirls around the traditional flick, the unicorn horns are… Read the full story
