CW: Electrolysis update; enhancing numbing cream
Apologies that we've not updated everyone for a while. The migraine from Friday and Saturday, and the migraine hangover feeling today, didn't help either.
On Friday 18th October, we had our latest 2 hour electrolysis session. This was also the first usage of the 16 hours total the NHS England is funding. (They'll only agree to more if deemed required for GRS.)
As extra preparation, we recently got ourselves some J-Cain numbing cream. It's listed as 29.9% lidocaine, but the ingredients say 15.6%.
Anyway, we'd previously tried that with PVC film and it wasn't much stronger than the previous 10% (5% lidocaine, 5% prilocaine) cream we'd been using. So, we looked into enhancing it.
Our solution in the end was to mix in some IPM as a penetration enhancer and prilocaine API for additional numbing.
We later found out that a milk frother works surprisingly well for mixing, but for the purposes of this session, it had been mixed by hand. It's the best we can do on a budget really, as it's not like we can afford an homogeniser of some form 😅
It's definitely a work in progress, and we didn't apply PVC film correctly to our face after applying, but oh my gosh did it work so much better than before already!!!
Areas that would usually make us winch, like our upper lip, barely registered. Many areas on our face and neck we simply could not feel at all.
My electrologist spent about an hour on my face / neck and the remainder on the down below bits, which felt nothing whatsoever.
We're still working out the kinks with this enhancement to get it ideal, which is why we aren't sharing the percentages, but once we've confirmed the ideal mix, we'll share the details.
We'll try to remember to share some face photo updates. We won't share the down below bits 😅
We're up to 41 hours cumulatively on our face neck and 4 hours cumulatively on the down-belows.
It's really just whack-a-mole now with the remaining face and neck hairs. Leaving a month between sessions now to give more opportunity for the remaining lil buggers to show.
There's a way to go with the genital area, but hopefully the majority of the remaining 14 hours of NHS funding can be used for down there.

CW: Electrolysis preparation
Areas exfoliated yesterday ✅
Strong numbing cream applied (5% lidocaine, 5% prilocaine) ✅
Areas covered in cling film (aka plastic wrap) ✅
Strong painkillers taken ✅All prepared for another 2-hour electrolysis (flash thermolysis) session. There's still some clean-up to do on my face/neck, but it's mostly going to be on my down below bits, which is much less painful we've found than our front lip.

Here’s one for the kids-TV watchers in the UK. Did CBeebies’ Evie do promo photos for a Birmingham laser game place? Perhaps it was a while ago, or a different reality leaking into ours, or even just a lookalike!

I No Longer Recommend Feeld
The powers that be killed the golden goose.
If you’ve already read this article, please read the updates at the bottom. They are eye-opening.
I’ve complained about the state of Feeld before. Namely, in this article:
https://www.yourautisticlife.com/2023/12/04/the-latest-feeld-update-is-a-complete-shitshow
Well… it’s gone from bad to worse. Feeld used to be the application I’d recommend for the gender and sexual minorities. It had its flaws, but there was a critical mass of people on this app that did not exist anywhere else. I was willing to put up with its flaws, if it meant that I was able to find people to be intimate with. I did find such people. Feeld was the number one app for me in terms of numbers.
Feeld has made it really hard now for me to match with anyone. In addition to the preexisting problems that they never fixed, Feeld added new problems with the November update. The major issues I have are now these:
- It does not matter how I set my search parameters, the app arbitrarily cuts off the number of people I can see. I’ve tried everything. I’ve reset the app. I’ve reinstalled it. I’ve set my distance filter to the max. It does not matter. I’ve complained about this since before their upgrade, repeatedly. They never fixed it.
- This did not use to happen, but I now get notifications from the app about people who like me or ping me, and when I go to check they are not there. I’ve complained about this repeatedly, too. No fix.
- There’s no moderation on this platform.
So I’ve told them. After my current subscription ends, I’m deleting my profile. End of the line. So long, and thanks for all the matches!
Your Autistic Life is supported by readers like you. Use one of the links below to support my writing! Thank you.
Join Us Bonfire MerchNow, don’t get me wrong. I think all the dating apps suck in various ways. Feeld was just the one that sucked the least in my book. Do also note that geography can impact your experience on the apps greatly. In particular, on Feeld I can only guess how many pings I’ve wasted on people who just happen to be passing through because nothing tells me where they are based.
A friend asked me a few weeks back about what dating app he should try. I still mentioned Feeld, but it was negatively, and he decided to pass on it. I cannot blame him. OkCupid was my second choice. He’s now on OkCupid and happy about it.
I’ve also returned to OkCupid, and I’m now matched with five people there. These are all submissive folks. This has never happened before. I’m thinking the gender and sexual minorities are moving to OkCupid, en masse. I’m still not a great fan of OkCupid because it makes it really hard to find people who are into BDSM, but it is better than nothing.
This sucks, big time. Feeld used to be number one. KinkD was number two but only barely. OkCupid was number three. OkCupid is on track now to surpass them all.
Oh, and if you are a sex educator who somehow associates with Feeld, you’re beclowning yourself with your association. Good job! (Yes, I’m looking at you, Evie Lupine.)
Update May 17th, 2024.
Okay, so Feeld proved to me that my conjecture above is completely true. People liked me, or pinged me. I got the notification, but they did not show up in my likes or my pings. How do I know? I brought up the app, and I had 18 likes and pings total. Prior to this, I had one match, and no pings or likes. I connected with one person while the 18 likes were there, but this person hasn’t replied yet.
I know for a fact that some of these folks were those for whom I had received a notification but did not show up. How? I took screenshots of my notification log when I got a notification without the person being in my likes. And yes, I took more screenshots when those folks suddenly showed up.
Among the people there I noticed a few people who, as I recall, I had matched with, but turned out to be flakes. I even recognized one as a nonbinary individual I went on a date with. I did contact him by text. He said he wasn’t sure if he had liked me again, but I think now those people I had matched with before were a bug.
How do I know it was a bug? Well, a few hours later, all those pings and matches were gone again. WTF are they doing at Feeld? This sudden appearance and then disappearance feels like someone was just issuing ad hoc SQL commands into the database and seeing what happened. Then they realized their mistake, and reverted, at least partially. (I still have the new match that I made.)
So if I did not see the pings and likes that people sent to me, what did this mean? I suspect the same thing happened to those people that I had pinged. They got a notification, but I was nowhere to be found in their pings. It means that a good deal of the pings I had been sending were pissed away.
Feeld is an amateur operation. Amateurs can pull the wool over your eyes for a while, but when the shit hits the fan, they reveal themselves for what they really are, amateurs.
Use OkCupid.
Update June 4th, 2024.
Support no longer talks to me. Brilliant!
I also saw something strange. I was going from profile to profile in the app when I landed on the profile of someone who claimed to be from the company and wanting feedback. This happened during the night, so I did not act immediately. By the time morning rolled over, the profile was gone.
I’m now operating under the presumption that this was a scammer trying to grab information out of people.
If it happened to be real, well, that’s a mighty stupid way to gather feedback. How do I know that this person is real? Did they implement a system for us to know that this is real?
Use OkCupid.
Update June 5th, 2024.
Well, well. The same thing that I reported on May 17th, 2024, happened again. Roughly 20 people showed up as people who had liked me or pinged me. This time I acted faster. I culled the straights, and the profiles that appeared flaky to me. I think I had rejected some of those prospects before, I re-rejected them.
I matched with two folks. I’m wondering if I’m now showing up into the prospects of people whom I liked.
The rest of the bugs, however, remain intact.
Use OkCupid.
