Article: Over-the-counter remedies do exist and are helpful, but there's no substitute for seeing a licensed doctor with a full arsenal of medical options. It is especially important to see a doctor for treatment if you have diabetes. Additionally, if you are troubled by corns that are causing you a lot of pain or do not respond well to home remedies, see your general practitioner or a get a referral to a podiatrist. A medical professional can help you determine the cause of the corn so you can deal with the problem directly. Corns are most often caused by footwear that doesn't fit properly, excessive use of dress shoes, toe deformities, or problems with your posture or gait that pressure areas of your feet. Your doctor or podiatrist will most likely decide to remove the corn for you but will advise you that the corn will return if you do not resolve the condition that caused it. If the doctor suspects that an underlying physical abnormality (such as bunions or bone spurs) is contributing to your corns, they may recommend an x-ray or other imaging tests. These may include a change in footwear, padding to protect the area from friction or pressure, foot orthotics to change the pressure distribution on your feet, or a surgical correction for foot or toe problems. In some cases, corns may become infected. If you notice that your corn is painful, inflamed, or has a liquid discharge (pus or clear liquid), make an appointment with your doctor right away. If you are prone to infection, your doctor may also recommend a preventative antibiotic ointment.

Article: If the liner is coming up with a smell, try hand cleaning just that part. Add a single tablespoon of laundry detergent or mild soap to four cups (about a liter) of water. Swish it around to mix it up. Dampen a cloth with it, then wipe down the lining with the solution. Focus on smelly areas, such as armpits. Use a clean cloth with water to rinse off the liner. If the jacket has developed a smell, try deodorizing it. The best way to deodorize it is to put it in an airtight container with a deodorizer. For instance, you can use kitty litter, baking soda, or even activated charcoal. Leave the jacket there for at least a day, but you may need to leave it longer to completely get rid of the smell. Another possibility for deodorizing the jacket is using indirect sunlight. For instance, hang it near a window in your house, but don't let the direct sunlight hit it. The sunlight may help deodorize the jacket.

Article: Using one with molded cups and padding helps hide your extra stuffing. It should be about twice the size of your bra cup. The folded piece should be about the size of your bra cup. If it's too large, pieces will stick out and give your secret away. Trim off a bit at the end. Repeat this step on the other side. Use one piece of tissue per cup. If you add more, they're more likely to bunch up and ruin your silhouette. If you're not satisfied with the amount of boost, try thicker tissues or 3- or 4-ply toilet paper. If it looks uneven, go back to the beginning and repeat with a fresh tissue. Tissues are not the material of choice, since they absorb and hold moisture from perspiration, losing their shape and making you uncomfortable. However, this method will work if you're in a bind.

Put on your bra. Rip off a piece of tissue. Fold the tissue in half. Put the square of tissue in your bra so that it fits inside the cup perfectly. Check yourself in a mirror and make sure you look symmetrical. Use tissues for emergency stuffing only.
