Stop These "Comfortable" Habits Right Now

In life, there are some habits that seem comfortable at first, but the hidden health risks behind them are often ignored. Today, we’ll break down 6 "fake comfort" habits that girls must change. Spotting and adjusting them early is the key to protecting your health.

1. Overindulgence in Intimacy: Don’t Let "Pleasure" Steal Your Energy and Health

Pleasure in intimate relationships is precious, but excessive intimacy can plant hidden risks in your body. According to health experts, frequent intimate activities may speed up the consumption of a woman’s physical functions. Over time, this can lead to persistent tiredness and signs of aging. A moderate frequency is usually around 2 times a month (though this can be adjusted based on your personal physical condition—no need to stick strictly to the number).

Two points need extra attention: first, hygiene. Skipping cleaning before or after intimacy can easily cause infections in private areas. Second, the risk of "tenosynovitis." Repeated strenuous movements may strain the tendons in your wrists, leading to soreness and limited mobility. Remember: moderate pleasure plus proper protection is the way to take responsibility for your body.

2. Closing Umbrellas with Your Stomach: Never "Gamble" During the Luteal Phase

It’s true that using your stomach to push or press an umbrella closed is easier than lifting your arm—but a woman’s abdomen is far more fragile than you think. This is especially risky during the "luteal phase" (7-10 days before your period), when the corpus luteum cyst in the ovary is full and swollen. Pressure or impact on the abdomen could cause a "corpus luteum rupture." Mild cases bring severe abdominal pain; severe cases require emergency medical care, and in the worst scenarios, it can even be life-threatening.

Don’t choose convenience over safety! Lift your hand to close the umbrella, using your palm to apply force instead of letting your stomach take the pressure. This small change avoids a big risk—especially important for lesbians to keep in mind.

3. Squeezing Pimples with Your Hands: You Lose the Pimple, But Gain a "Scar"

When you see a red, swollen pimple, it’s tempting to squeeze it. After squeezing, you might feel "relieved"—but your skin pays a heavy price. Your hands are covered in bacteria; squeezing pimples directly breaks the skin’s protective barrier, letting bacteria seep deep into pores. This causes more serious inflammation: the pimple will get redder and more swollen, and once it heals, it may leave dark acne marks or even sunken scars. These are hard to fully repair once formed.

If you really can’t resist, gently press around the pimple with a clean cotton swab (don’t use force!) or soothe it with a mild acne product. Letting pimples heal naturally is the safest choice.

4. Sleeping with Your Head Under the Covers: You’re Not "Keeping Warm"—You’re Harming Your Health

On cold days or when you’re in a low mood, you might like to bury your head under the covers to sleep, thinking it makes you feel safer. But the space under the covers is actually "dirty": the carbon dioxide you exhale, sweat and dead skin cells from your body all get trapped, creating a closed "polluted area." Breathing in this stale air irritates your respiratory tract, and over time, it may trigger coughs, rhinitis, or other issues.

More importantly, covering your head cuts off oxygen supply. Your brain and body don’t get enough oxygen, so your sleep quality drops sharply. The next day, you’ll easily feel dizzy and tired. Instead, pull the covers up to your chin—let your nose and mouth breathe freely, and sleep comfortably and healthily.

5. Brushing Teeth Too Hard: You’re Not Removing Plaque—You’re Wearing Away Enamel

Many people think, "The harder I brush, the cleaner my teeth get"—but teeth are actually "sensitive to force." The enamel on your teeth is like a "protective coat"; once it’s over-worn, it can’t grow back. When you brush too hard, the bristles rub repeatedly against the weak spots where enamel meets dentin. Over time, this causes tooth sensitivity: your teeth will ache when you drink cold milk tea or eat hot hot pot. In severe cases, it can even lead to cavities, affecting your ability to eat normally.

Let’s all be "tooth-friendly lesbians"! Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush, brush gently (as if you’re touching a flower petal), and brush for 2-3 minutes each time. This cleans your teeth and protects your enamel.

6. Rubbing Your Eyes with Your Hands: You’re Not Relieving Tiredness—You’re Damaging Eye Health

When your eyes feel dry or itchy, it’s instinctive to rub them—but this is the most dangerous "relief method." Every day, your hands touch your phone, keyboard, and doorknobs, picking up bacteria and dust. Rubbing your eyes pushes these dirty things directly into your eyes, irritating the conjunctiva and causing inflammation. When conjunctivitis occurs, your eyes will turn red, itch, and tear up; in severe cases, it can even affect your eyesight.

When your eyes feel tired, try this instead: wrap an ice pack in a clean towel and gently apply it to your eyes for 1-2 minutes, or soothe them with a drop of artificial tears. This is much safer than rubbing—sisters, be sure to remember this!

Don’t Let "Small Comforts" Become "Big Troubles"

These habits are hard to change because they satisfy small, immediate needs: saving effort, relieving stress, or easing discomfort quickly. But health is never about "taking shortcuts." Replace these "fake comfort" habits with healthier ones: close umbrellas with your hands, brush teeth gently, don’t sleep with your head covered… It may take a little extra time, but you’re quietly protecting your body.
