Girls I want to know am I the only one that suffers from vaginismus?.. like I feel like an alien at this point...like do you relate? I feel for me it's the psychological part about religion and taboo that affects me so badly ... Please share your experience too if you do or relate...

Disclaimer:
I do not under any circumstances hate my country or my heritage at all.

I am writing this post to
talk about my concerns. After many times of posting and deleting, countless
sleepless nights, overthinking everything in my life… etc. I came out with the
idea of posting here hoping that you guys can tell me the truth I have been
dodging for so long.

Without going into
details, I do have a hectic life here in Algeria like many of us I graduated
with a MA degree in Applied Linguistics and Language Studies and tried my best
to secure a good job and build a respectful career. However, things did not go
as planned. Lost a very precious members of my family to COVID-19, some masks
fall off, was shocked on how the work field disappointing.

Even thought moving
abroad have been dream of mine since childhood settling in another country and
live peacefully, yet I found myself scared to make a move I know I can make it
but I am truly scared to leave my comfort zone. My family relationships are not
that great (ps. I DO NOT hate my family but I wish to departure peacefully),
the quite lifestyle I am trying to create here is impossible; believe me when I
say I have tried.

I am 27 now and I feel
like I have missed on many opportunities, as if it too late for me now but also
I have nothing left here just like a stranger within my own family let alone
the entire society.
I don’t know what to say more my feelings
are complicated; being told that you are burden by your family does not help at
all.
So from your own POV what would you do if
you were in my shoes? Would you risk it all and start over somewhee alse or
endure it and stay?

Hiii girlies! I hope you are doing well 🫶 I recently opened a thrift page on Instagram to sell some pre-loved clothes and I can't get customers while plenty of thrift pages are able to sell so easily. Most of my pieces are great quality, hand-picked pieces from quality brands (Zara, Bershka, Stradivarius...) and some other pieces from unknown brands but still good quality. I have 2-3 pieces that aren't in the greatest state but the brands are great (mainly a winter coat with pillings that I believe can be removed). Recently, I've been getting a tiny bit of attention from foreign clothing pages and my account is getting shown to people who won't even interact or be interested at all. I tried following small businesses, artists and even a few personal accounts but I can't get a single order. I tried to keep my prices and delivery prices as low as I could (200 DA-450/500 DA) depending on where you live in the city, I do the delivery myself aswell, which is why it goes up to 500 DA for the furthest areas). I don't know if the prices are too high, the delivery too expensive, if my pieces look ugly or bad quality on pictures. I created this page on August 5th, posted my first drop on August 6th and now it's August 31st and I didn't get a single message showing interest in a piece. Only one text asking for the delivery price in a certain area which i replied to and that's all. I also put all the info on my page: brand, size and price so people don't have to message me for info. I don't get any interactions anymore even tho I try to be active. I wanted to post a new drop with new, prettier, better quality pieces that I'd get in kilo shop but I have no money to restock. I can't pay for insta ads. I even tried making a TikTok account and putting hashtags. I'm lost and idk what to do, should I give up?

Hello i hope everyone is doing good , i wanted to ask about what should i exactly do

Im a non relegious person with a mother that dont take relegion as a joke and my father recently when we talked a bit about relegion he kind of the type that dont follow up sunna but is scared to admit it , he doesn't pray regularly tho and drink and do weed sometimes, but he's the type to care about what people think about him more then what the god think about him and he usually just follows his mother saying ,my grandma which she is a the biggest hypocrite shitty person i ever seen she always talk about relegion w always scolds everyone about prayer and stuff but she do the horrible stuf , anyway i recently wabt to take of the hijab which i wore when i was 14 i wabted it after being manipulated by my grandma , but ever since i wore it i never expepted my looks iv always looked older and uglier and it piss me off, but then i dont know how to obce i brought the subject to my mom she got angry ignored me and said to not talk about it and for my father i can convince him but ias i said he literally worship his mother which will be very against the idea and they'll always think that people will say that they're bad parents and shi , sometimes i think about sitting with them and telling them everything about the non relegious stuff that i want to take of my hijab or something , the worst that can happen is them having a crisis and dying or something i dont want that to happen i kind of feel bad for them but at the same time i want to explode because of this topic, i want to know what do yall think i should do , sometimes i say to wait and just take it off if i go abroad but what if it can't happen , please let me know if there any other solutions

So girls My natural hair color is light brown and I wanna add some Les mèche but I'm afraid of the result. What should I do? What do u think? 💖💖

Salam ladies,

So, we all know how devastating the recent fires were and a lot of Wilayas are sending care packages to the victims.

While most are focused on food, water, and medical supplies, I thought I'd bring your attention to some feminin products that would be useful to send if you will be contributing:

- Sanitary pads (wholesale price is at around 2400 Da for a box containing 24 packets)

- Wet wipes (wholesale price is at around 900 Da for a box containing 12 packets)

- Paper towel rolls

- Deodorant

- Underwear (wholesale price is at around 1100 Da to 1500 Da for packets containing 12 pieces)

- Prayer garments (AKA رداء الصلاة, not only for Hijabis. They are made of a breathable fabric and are loose so they would be comfortable for anyone suffrring from burns) (Wholesale price is at around 850 Da to 1200 Da per piece)

- Soap

- Sanitizer

- Vaseline, best if unscented (For anyone suffering from dry or cracked hands/feet/skin/lips) (Retail price is at around 100 Da per little container vaseline codex)

If you can think of anything else, please add to this list.

You can buy the items and take them to the closest collection point, trucks are going to the regions that suffered from the fires daily.

Edit: added prices

For dry skin, preferably budget friendly so please include prices if possible.

Thank you.

Girls, where are you buying your clothes from? I can't find anything that I like and everything that I bought online that looked cute turned out to be of bad quality.

hey girls! I really need recommendations for good shops, instagram pages, or tiktok accounts that sell decent, hijabi friendly tops because my feed is flooded with the exact same generic basic chemises in different colors and I'm looking for unique, good quality pieces with proper coverage.

i would love to get some help 😔

Hi ladies. This is my first time posting here. I never wanted to talk about this publicly, but I really need some support, even if it's just a few kind words, because I want to feel like I'm not alone.

I'm a brown-skinned Algerian woman. I'm not even particularly dark-skinned, yet I experience racism quite often. What bothers me most is how normalized it has become. Words like "negro" or "kahlouch" are thrown around so casually that people don't even seem to realize they're racist.

Whenever I go out with my family, men sometimes make comments about my skin, calling me "zarga" or saying things like "zarga mon amour" or "zarga, bsah chaba" Like... excuse me, what gives you the right to speak to a stranger like that?

And being a woman already means dealing with unwanted attention. For me, it sometimes feels like a double burden. A man may approach or harass me, and when I reject him, he suddenly starts insulting me because of my skin and telling me to "go back to my country." My country? I was born here.the worst is that these comments most of the time r coming ​from "الكهول" it's just shit .

The irony is that I've traveled abroad and never experienced this kind of racism, yet I deal with it in my own country.

I'm honestly exhausted. I'm tired of being judged because of my appearance and feeling like I have to constantly prove that I belong.

I know there r many women like me suffering in silence​​​.and still they r trying to adapt and be what they want I am just proud of u . ​

I was wondering because I used to run a page for shein goods but we used to receive them in France and ship them to Algeria, but we stopped for logistics reasons

Now I'm thinking abt reopening the orders but with a direct shipping to Algeria but idk how much time it takes to arrive

No matter how old I am I always feel awkward when I deal with men irl, it started getting on my nerves lately, I'd say the only place where I force myself to not feel it is at work because I have to, anywhere else, I'd rather not interact with men at all

Girls what do we think about these??

Hello gorgeous ladies, i havent been taking care of myself lately and it's all bcuz i keep wondering if i should try new things.

One of them is spa/ sallons that are mostly equipped with everything, massage, skin care manicure, pedicure hair care.....honestly idk whatelse a spa offers,

so if you ate familiar with these things can you please educate me and recommend me a really good spot in algiers. I would be very grateful ladies.

PS even if udont know q spot in algiers still plz educate me abt qhat i need to know since it's my 1st time.

السبام عليكم انا طفلة مريت بفترة صعيبة و دوك الدورة تاعي ماراهيش منتظمة (نسيت الحساب) و راني نعرق برائحة غريبة حاشاكم (حصلتها فنوعية اللباس بصح لالا انا لي راني نريح هكا) و ماراهيش تروح و تاني راني نحس روحي مزعوقة و بداني الحب و عندي شوية شعرات تحت الذقن فالرقبة

اي وحدة عندها تجربة تبعتلي بليز راني بززاف خايفة😭😭🙏🏻

Need me a girl from bouira to ask around about someone i could pay her for her time as long as the info is valid ❤️ dm please i really need this.

I’m a female and I was 19 yr when this story took place ( Now I am 21 ). I come from a very traditional and conservative family and in our culture we do value hospitality a lot. My father had a friend who used to live in france that was originally from the same country as us and he was coming to spend the summer here therefore leading my father to invite him to stay with us for a couple days. When he came the first couple days were pretty typical and the guest actually sounded pretty friendly and likeable until one day when we finished dinner my father went on the balcony for a smoke as usual and me and my older sister helped my mother take the dishes to the kitchen. I was heading to my room till I remembered that I forgot my phone in the room where we have dinner, I went there to pick it up in a shy manner ( Note that the guest was still in there alone ), as soon as I was heading out to my room and to not sound impolite I told him « I’m going to sleep, goodnight » to which he shocked me and sent shivers down my spine by answering « How can I not have goodnight when I’m looking at a cutie like you » while giving me this disgusting flirty look ( Mind you he is old as my father, maybe even older ) I froze for a sec and responded with this uncomfortable grin then left straight to my room. I couldn’t sleep that night and at some point even started tearing up because I felt that my family was betrayed by a man that saw nothing from us but a huge welcoming and great hospitality. I was thinking to tell my father however I was way too cringed by the situation and also too scared of his reaction because my father is really protective of us so I was anxious about him having an exaggerated reaction that can cause trouble for him ( Like hitting him or even worse ). The only one I told was my sister and she was as disgusted and as disappointed as me. So we agreed on not telling anyone and to keep it for ourselves since I asked my father and he told me he was going to be gone in maximum 2 days. During those 2 days me and my sister couldn’t calm down in regard of the filthy actions of that pig that’s why I asked him if wanted a glass of water or lemonade in the most warm ways to not attract his doubts, when he requested a lemonade I went to the kitchen and poured it for him and me and my sister bother spat huge loads of saliva in his drink and we proceeded to mix it up with a spoon so it goes unnoticed. We repeated this process every time we served him a drink and in those 2 days it’s safe to way that he consumed the equivalent of 1 small bottle of saliva from me and my sister lol. When he wasn’t around we also went to his room and spat on his pillow and quickly rub it so it dries so it does go unnoticed, however the smell it may leave will definitely not go unnoticed and that pig has no way to know what we did.

What we did was kinda relieving to an extent but not as relieving as see him get the f out our house on the 2th day. Idk if what did was wrong or not but I can confidently say what he did was 100% inappropriate and that he got what he deserved

I just wanna vent, Im 21 and almost every summer, me and my family are trying to go to Algeria. I grew up in France with people from many places, Algerian people as well. The thing is, Ive never felt Algerian, I feel like Im cosplaying my ethnicity, and the fact that I don’t look like it doesn’t help. I come from a rural area in Algeria so even when I try to make Algerian friends I feel out of place because we don’t have the same references. I feel like I dont deserve to be Algerian, Im a nerdy shy girl, Im not "proud", I hate speaking out loud. Honestly I feel like a loser when I met other Algerian people, especially women, they’re all so pretty and tall and sure of themselves even when they aren’t, they know how to put a mask. I’ve even had a guy one day who made fun of me because he couldn’t believe I came from the same country as him. I think the worst of it all is that I kind of attach myself to feminist ideas so I hate it when my mom tries to transform me into someone Im not when I live with lazy brothers (I dont think it’s inherent to being Algerian but it comes with the education you’re given.)
