With their lower waistline and moderate coverage, a bikini brief is usually the classic option when it comes to women's underwear styles. They will be a comfortable option for most body types, so it's a good everyday style of underwear. If you carry most of your weight at your stomach, underwear with a lower waistband can be uncomfortable because it may bunch and roll. Choose a high-waisted brief style, which will cover your belly so you don't have to keep pulling your undies up all day. High-waisted briefs can also be a comfortable option if you are curvy or have an hourglass figure. There's nothing more annoying than tugging at your underwear to keep it from bunching under skinny jeans and other tighter fitting bottoms. A thong can be the most comfortable option because it has a barely there feel in the back that won't add any bulk under your clothing. Thongs can be uncomfortable for some people, so test a pair out at home before committing to wearing them out for the day. For a pear shape body, where most of your weight is carried in your lower body, boy shorts provide plenty of coverage for a large butt. Opt for a seamless pair, and you won't have to worry about them showing up under clothing. While they're especially comfortable if you have a large backside, boy shorts work on nearly every body type.

Summary: Choose bikini briefs for everyday. Opt for high-waisted briefs if you have a large belly. Wear a thong if you prefer slimmer fitting clothing. Grab boy short underwear if you have a larger backside.

If you are a person who struggles to accept LGBT+ people for whatever reason, and believe that it is wrong then you may feel tempted to be mean to a gay or lesbian person. Try to remind yourself that you won't accomplish anything by doing this. If you find yourself in the presence of a gay or lesbian person, and you need to interact with them, treat them with respect. Lecturing a gay or lesbian person about why their sexuality is, in your opinion, wrong will not make them suddenly say, "Oh, you know what, you're right. I'll be straight now." This is because they didn't choose to be the way they are. Therefore, you won't get yourself anywhere by trying to force your own ideas on to them, and you might also miss out on the chance to get to know a really cool person. Think about how you would feel if the situation were reversed. Would you change your mind about being heterosexual if a gay or lesbian person came up to you and started talking about why heterosexuality is wrong? It is easy to get caught up in our own ideas about right and wrong, but try to remember that you probably have lots of friends with differing views. Keep this in mind when you meet a gay or lesbian person. They are still a person, and whether or not their orientation plays a big role in their life they still have other things they care about and are interested in. If a gay person does ask you about your views, then feel free to talk about them, but do it with kindness. Don't be defensive. For example, if they are religious reasons, talk about what you have been taught and why it makes sense to you. Don't assume that a conversation about differences has to be a huge fight. If you do have this conversation, listen to what they have to say too. If you do not understand the person's sexuality, then expressing this in a respectful, but clear way may be a good option. If you have a good relationship with this person and you want to understand his or her sexuality better, then you might ask the person to speak with you and help you understand. For example, you might say something like, "I respect you and I care about you. However, I do not fully understand what it means to be gay/lesbian. I was hoping you might be willing to tell me more about it and help me to develop a better understanding of that aspect of your life."

Summary: Be respectful. Don't try to lecture them. Understand that kindness is not dependent upon having the same views. Be open about your lack of understanding.

Wear comfortable and supportive shoes for daily activities, proper sports footwear for activities and exercise, and avoid heels over 1.5 inches (four cm) for daily use. Proper footwear is especially important during exercise because the wrong shoe can lead to injuries and sprains. Avoid wearing flip flops too often in the warmer months, as they don't provide any support and can cause foot pain. The instruments used for manicures and pedicures can harbor and spread bacteria if they aren't sterilized properly. Instead, practice proper foot hygiene on a daily basis and treat yourself to a weekly or semimonthly self-pedicure. If you do go for a pedicure, bring your own tools whenever possible. Never share pedicure instruments with others, especially emery boards. They are porous and cannot be sterilized properly, meaning they can trap and spread bacterial and fungi. Because diabetes can restrict circulation, it can cause health problems with the extremities, especially the hands and feet. Diabetes can cause neuropathy, or nerve damage, making it harder to detect injuries on your feet. The disease can also prevent your body from healing as quickly as it should, which increases the risk of infection. Diabetics should examine their feet every day for injuries like blisters, calluses, scaly skin patches, cracking skin, and cuts and wounds. Treat wounds immediately, and make sure your doctor looks at your feet at every visit. There are several bacterial, viral, and fungal problems that can adversely affect the health and appearance of your feet, including athlete's foot, warts, and nail fungus. When using public swimming pools or showers (such as at hotels or gyms), wear water shoes or flip flops to protect your feet from possibly contaminated water. Symptoms of athlete's foot include burning, itching, redness, and peeling. Warts are rough, grainy growths on the skin that may have black pinpoints scattered throughout. Nail fungus, which can enter the toenail through a crack or break, can cause nails to become brittle, thick, and discolored. Chronic foot pain is never normal, and should always be addressed with a medical practitioner. It can be a sign of plantar fasciitis, a stabbing pain and inflammation down the bottom center of the foot, which needs to be treated with therapy, orthotics, or possibly surgery. Aging, extreme cold, and joint pain can also cause foot pain, but if you frequently experience pain in your feet, talk to your doctor. There are many common medical problems that can cause foot pain and irritation, or make you embarrassed about the look of your feet. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about these conditions, but many can be treated with a little attention, orthotics, or perhaps medical attention. Some of the most common conditions involving the feet include: A bunion, which is a protruding bone that sticks out from the side of your foot where the big toe meets the foot. Bunions can cause pain, but unless the pain is severe, shoe inserts and cushions are usually favored over surgery. Hammertoes, which occur when the toes begin to bend downward at the middle joint because of out-of-balance muscles. This condition can be treated with proper footwear, foot supports, or possibly surgery. Having flat feet, when the entire sole of your foot makes contact with the ground. It is treated with strengthening exercises, arch supporting inserts, or orthotics. Calluses and corns, which are patches of thick, hard skin caused by constant pressure and rubbing. They can be trimmed or removed medically, treated with medicated pads and patches, or softened with soaking and gentle scrubbing with pumice. Gout, which is characterized by swelling, stiffness, pain, and redness of the joints in the feet, especially the big toe, as well as the ankles and knees. Gout is a form of arthritis and is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Summary: Wear the right shoes. Avoid pedicures. Understand the connection between your feet and diabetes. Prevent communicable diseases and infections. Address foot pain. Recognize common problems.
