Problem: Article: You aren't limited to the mall. Department stores and discount stores all have thongs in their underwear sections. Pick a location that is convenient for you and where you are least likely to run into people you know or people who know your parents. Some thongs have more coverage than others. Do you want lace? Do you want a g-string style or a fuller coverage style? Deciding beforehand will help you when you go shopping because there are numerous thong styles to choose from. Don't use a debit card or a check, which creates a paper trail of your purchases. Paying for your underwear in cash keeps it under your parents' radar. Be sure to throw away your receipt before you get home so you don't risk anyone finding a list of what you bought. If it is normal for you to go to the mall or department store by yourself, then go alone. This leaves no witnesses and you do not have to worry about someone telling your parents what you bought. In the interest of safety, do be sure to tell your parents where you are going so they are not suspicious about where you are. If you are not old enough to go to the mall by yourself or feel too intimidated, then go shopping with a close friend. Choose a friend who won't slip up and mention your shopping trip and purchases to your parents. If there is no way for you to get to a mall or department store to make your purchase away from adult supervision, then you are going to have to get creative. You might mention that you need to go to the restroom and then quickly head to buy the underwear. Don't only shop for underwear. Buy a couple decoy items so it doesn't seem suspicious that you planned a shopping trip and then came home with nothing. If you don't have the money for extra items, you can claim that you weren't able to find anything you wanted.
Summary: Decide where you want to shop. Choose what style of thong you want. Bring cash with you. Shop alone if possible. Shop with a trusted friend if you don't feel comfortable going alone. Disguise your purchase.

Problem: Article: Burns commonly cause pain, which can worsen in the days after your burn starts to heal. However, it should start to improve after the initial spike in pain, if you provide proper care, change your dressings as directed, and care for your body. If your pain continues to worsen or suddenly increases, you may have an infection. Get your burn examined by a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. Discoloration can occur by itself or along with swelling. You might notice the redness around the burn is getting darker or pink skin has turned red. In some cases, an infected burn may take on a purplish color, similar to a bruise. Although minor changes in color may occur as part of the healing process, greenish or purplish discolorations, especially if accompanied by pain and swelling, should be checked out by your doctor to rule out infection. Swelling often occurs after a burn, regardless of whether or not it's infected. However, an infection can cause the swelling to worsen. If you have an infection, you'll also likely notice other symptoms in addition to swelling. Pus or discharge may develop as your body tries to heal the wound. The discharge or pus may be clear or green. No matter the color, any discharge or pus is a sign you need medical treatment. The pus or discharge can come from broken skin around the burn, or it might come from broken blisters. You may be able to smell the burn itself, or you might notice that your bandages are very smelly. This can be a sign of infection, so you'll want to get the burn checked by your doctor. Additionally, you might notice a smelly discharge. Fever is a common sign of infection, including after a burn. Call your doctor if your temperature rises to 38C (100F) or higher. A fever by itself may not mean your burn is infected. However, it's best to see your doctor just in case. Sometimes a burn may not show typical signs of infection. However, if it's not healing or starts to look worse, then you should see your doctor. They can check the wound to see if you need additional treatments. Do not try to break or pop a blister. This will not help it heal faster. Instead, you'll increase your risk of an infection. These symptoms can indicate sepsis or Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), which can occur after a burn. These symptoms may occur alongside other symptoms of infection, especially fever. Sepsis and TSS are both emergency situations that can be life threatening, so visit a doctor immediately. Sepsis is a common risk after you experience a burn. It can quickly worsen and enter your bloodstream, where it can damage your organs. With immediate medical treatment, however, you can recover.
Summary: Notice if your pain level around the burn increases. Check the burn for discoloration, ranging from deep purple to red. Watch for swelling around the burn. Look for pus or liquid oozing from the burn. Notice if your burn starts to smell bad. Check to see if you have a fever. Notice if the burn or blister worsens or fails to improve after 2 weeks. Get immediate care for vomiting and dizziness.

Problem: Article: Be careful while doing this step, because overheating the stain can make it worse. The trick is to make the mess malleable because it won't budge while it is hardened. If the mess is in the oven, preheat the oven at the very lowest heat setting. Stay by the oven to make sure the stain doesn't overheat and start smoking. If the stain is on another hard surface like a table or wood floor, try using a hair dryer to warm the substance. The plastic or wax should have softened with the heat, and you can begin scraping it off with a flat, sharp edge. This will require some elbow grease, but be careful not to scratch or chip the surface you are cleaning. If you do not have a putty knife, you can use a butter knife or a razor blade. If there isn't much of a mess left, this can be achieved with mild soap and a damp rag. In the case of more persistent stains, you may want to use a more heavy-duty surface cleaner and a rough sponge or scrubber.
Summary:
Heat up the plastic or wax. Chip away at the substance with a putty knife or something similar. Clean up the area where the plastic or wax had been.
