At 4 pm today, right when I get off work, it will be 98° with a heat index of 110°. Today is one of those days I fully regret not buying a house with central air conditioning. I know, I know–I shouldn’t be complaining, but I’m hot. Like, really hot. If you were inside my shirt or pants, you would understand.
Humidity and thick heat get me really worked up, people, and it isn’t even the good kind. As the temperature rises, I feel a pressure build inside of me that when at its zenith, may actually result in me screaming at and slapping everyone who tries to speak to me.
Also, it makes my hair frizzy and my body sweaty. Sure, cold water will keep me hydrated, but it doesn’t stop the sweating of my heaving, voluptuous bosom. I’m sweating at this very moment and wearing white today and I swear that if I bounced around and giggled unintelligently I could win all the spring break wet t-shirt contests right about now.
And my hindquarters? Just fucking forget about it. If my posterior portion’s climate equals that of a rain forest, you men must feel like you’re in the pits of hell with all that body hair. Seriously, your butts must be so uncomfortable with all that swamp ass. My respect goes out to you, fine sirs.
So anyway, instead of working today I found a few cool things on the internets that might help and I wish I had invented all of them so I could afford a house with central air. If you have more ideas, please feel free to comment and save the world from my T&A issues!
First of all, there’s this USB butt cooling cushion:
and then there’s butt cooling cream that cyclists use:
and ladies, there’s cooling cream for your boobs, too. Nursing women use it, but sweaty girls can too, and probably those dudes with man boobs:
and finally,”My Breast Friend” cooling pads that go inside your bra:
Good products! Though I must admit your post made me rather warm, Canada is in the grips of the heat too! Time to turn up the AC.😉

Now you know why I don’t like living in Florida. That kind of heat lasts for five months without any breaks. I would not live here without central a/c. I’m very much the same as you when I get too hot. Let’s just say that PMS pales in comparison. Do you have any kind of a/c at all? A window unit? We have a portable a/c unit with wheels. We bought it years ago for in case we have a hurricane that knocks out electricity, we can attach this unit to our generator. We haven’t had to use the generator yet, but we did use the portable unit when our central air broke down a couple of times. It just cools one room with a door closed, but it keeps it nice and that’s where we stayed. It’s been a while, so I can’t remember the cost of it. The bra boob coolers are probably less expensive.😉 I completely get it, so I hope the heat doesn’t last too long for you.

Lori, I feel for you. I do. I have window units, but high ceilings, so it takes quite a long time to get to about 77 degrees. I can’t get it cooler than that. The portable seems like a good idea, especially for you!

Pure Romance has this great stuff you put on your sheets soak up the ‘wet spot’. Works wonders for ‘swoobs’ too. Of course I just slide some Secret antiperspirant under mine. Then hike the girls up as high as I can and that works too. Hang in there La La. At least it ain’t snowin’.

All I know is that the seat was made in Japan. I thought that at first about the cooling cream but I guess it meant because babies hurt the skin so they are little stinkers. I could totally market it as a reference to guys though…

It’s pretty toasty here in Kansas now too. I sympathize, and can confirm that swamp ass is something to be endured. Boxers help the air circulate, just saying. Boob sweat, however, is highly underrated.

Where I am it hit 104 last week but it is bone dry. I lived in Japan for 3 years and we would get temperatures of about 98 but 100% humidity. I would take 104 and dry any time. Still, wouldn’t mind some of those “Breast Friend” pads to give me some breasticles!

Awesome about Japan! I’ve always wanted to go there. From what I hear, dry heat is the way to go. It gets so humid here, hence the frizzies. Trust me though, you’re better off laying low on the breasticles–they’re always in the way.

I can attest to the heat and humidity in Japan and it has only just begun. From what I hear it will get much worse in August. This is my first year here so we shall see. I use talc a lot, it helps some and we have little dehumidifier buckets in a couple of rooms that draws the moisture out.
You can also get cooling packs: http://www.polarproducts.com/polarshop/pc/Secrets-Kit-14p263.htm these are expensive ones but you can find them cheaper.
I feel for you, I spent 3 weeks in Florida without power during the 5 hurricanes that hit. No a/c, no fans, no ice, no chilled water/drinks and we couldn’t use the tap water for showers. It was a stinky mess in Melbourne.
