Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Save up your money. Get to the store. Purchase what you want. Put your item in your backpack.

Answer: Search online or in the store you want to buy from to find out the exact price of the item you want. Save up money from an allowance or job so that you have enough to pay for the item yourself. Remember that tax will most likely be added when you purchase the item, so the total will be slightly higher than the listed price. If you can't come up with enough money of your own, ask a friend or sibling if they'll give or lend you some, but know that they probably won't give you money without some sort of exchange. You can also try mowing lawns for neighbors in the summer, shoveling snow in the winter, or babysitting to earn some extra cash. Get a friend, an older sibling, or another person who can drive to take you to the store you want to make your purchase from. Make sure this person is someone you can trust. If you are not allowed to go out, you shouldn't. Avoid using Uber or Lyft, especially because you never know if you run into a shady driver. If you want to take a bus or train, check the routes and figure out the fastest way to get to your destination. Google Maps is a good way to do this. Make sure you have a good cover up story if you parents asked why you are late, like "I missed the bus, the next one took ages to come, then I fell asleep on the train!" Or, if you have weekly remedial and there is no remedial on a certain week, buy the item on that day. Make sure you have enough money! Your parents will be suspicious if you come home late two days in a row. If you want to buy it after school instead get there as fast as you can, buy it, and then rush home to avoid suspicion. If you can go out on your own: Try going after school with a friend who can drive or having an older sibling drive you from home. Avoid lying to your parents about where you're going if you can. If the store is close enough, ride a bike or walk there yourself, especially if you can't get someone else to drive you or don't want to tell another person what you're buying. Buy your desired item at the store with cash or a gift card, if you have one. Don't pay for anything with a credit or debit card, especially if it's a parent's account, because the purchase will show up on bills and statements for the card. Remember that there are age restrictions on certain items and store clerks will ask to see a valid ID before they let you make the purchase. For example, you'll need to show that you're 17 in order to buy an M-rated video game, and you have to be 21 to buy alcohol. If you're not of age to buy the thing you want, consider asking someone older to buy it for you with your money. Conceal your package in a backpack or other normal bag you carry so you can easily bring it home without your parents getting suspicious. Throw away the store bag or any other evidence you don't need right away. If what you buy is very large or bulky and you can't conceal it in a bag, make sure a friend can help you transport it, and only bring it into your house when your parents aren't home to see you bring it inside.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose clothing that hugs your waist. Cinch your clothing at the waist. Look for colorblock pieces. Embrace shapewear.

Answer: If you don't feel comfortable wearing clothing that's skintight everywhere, choose outfits that are at least formfitting at your natural waist. This will make your waist look smaller, thus making your curves above and below your waist look larger by comparison. Avoid "potato sack" clothing. If the fabric doesn't define your waist, you run the risk of looking straight and boyish. Fit and flare dresses are great for accentuating the waist, as well wrap dresses, peplum tops, pencil skirts, and high-waisted pieces. One simple belt can make a huge change in your silhouette. By marking your waistline with a thin belt or sash, you will can create an hourglass shape even in the baggiest of clothing. Use this trick to make any shapeless dress more flattering. Tucking your shirt in at the waist will also help to show off your waist, helping to accentuate your curves. Another cute and easy way to accentuate your waist is to tie a shirt around it. You'll look effortlessly casual and curvy at the same time. Specifically, look for clothing that has a block of color down the middle, with different colors on the sides. When others see you, their eyes will be drawn to the middle color. The colors on the sides will be less noticeable. This will accentuate your waist by making it appear tinier, only the size of that middle block of color. Colorblock clothing works as an optical illusion to give your body that extra va-va-voom! Regardless of your size, wearing shapewear under your clothing can make your normal clothing even more flattering. Shapewear is usually made of spandex, which will smooth out the midsection to highlight your waist. In a way, shapewear "sucks everything in" so that you have curves in all the right places! Shapewear comes in all styles and colors, so you can find something that fits seamlessly under any outfit.

Answer:
Menstrual cups can be messier. As you remove the cup, you are also removing the fluid that it has collected over the past eight to 12 hours.

The proper way to remove the menstrual cup is to pinch the base to break the suction, then pull down and out. Empty the collected fluid into the toilet, clean the cup with fresh water, and reinsert. Once you have completed your menstrual cycle, you must clean the cup thoroughly. If you don't think you have time or would be willing to do this, then the menstrual cup may not be for you. You can sterilize the cup by placing it in a shallow pan of boiling water for five minutes. Other methods used for baby bottles and pacifiers using sterilizing solutions can also work for menstrual cups. Follow the guidelines for cleaning provided in the product literature.
