A purse collection: A "pursery" is a new word, meaning a collection of purses and handbags, plus the room or cabinet in which such a collection is displayed. A "pessary", however, is a small plastic or silicone device used to support the uterus, vagina, bladder, or rectum. A pessary is most commonly used to treat prolapse of the uterus.

Question 2

are there any  pesseries made from natural materials?

Accepted Answer

Not that I know: Of but if you are 45 and need a pessary you are much better off having the proper surgery by someone who does a lot of them , if your doc doesn't then your doc should refer you.

Question 3

is it sanitary to carry a handkerchief in my purse?

Accepted Answer

Handkerchief: Tissues are a more sanitary way to blow your nose or wipe your face.  A handkerchief should be replaced with a fresh one daily if used.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Don't worry about it: If he's mature and understands how women's bodies work, that shouldn't bother him.  That's a natural thing that every woman on earth goes through in their reproductive years.  If he's being weird about it, talk to him.  Explain it.  Maybe he doesn't understand.

Question 6

is premature ejaculation a purely mental problem?

Accepted Answer

No: Not usually. This is a multifasceted problem. Talk to your urologist.

Question 7

can there be such a thing as purely physical depression?

Accepted Answer

Maybe for some: Some people lack words for their feelings, and may be unaware of emotions that accompany their lack of interest, slowed-down energy, poor concentration, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, etc.  These people may insist they are not "depressed, " yet they have the genetics and the entire symptom list of depression.  We are whole beings, and mind and body are interwoven -- even if we're unaware.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Question 9

purely vegetarian diet to improve eyesight or any other effective thing?

Accepted Answer

Mostly preventative: Vitamins can keep the eye healthy, but does not change the prescription of glasses needed to see.

Question 10

what should a hypoglycemic put in her purse to snack on to make sure she doesn't feel badly?

Accepted Answer

Candy: Chewing gum, sugar in a bag. I find that liquid is the faster way to treat hypoglycemia. For example oj, coke. I have a teammate carry a bag/smallbowl of sugar in his sport bag, whenver he looked hypoglycemia we'll get water and mix the sugar and he will drink it.
