The ozempic has stopped working and I’m creeping back up. May as well be comfortable while I argue with my insurance company.
BarqsHasBite ( @someguy3@lemmy.ca ) 8•2 years agoDon’t give up! I’ve heard it described that it’s supposed to help reset you. You’d always have to change your diet, it was only supposed to help the transition.
Only stopped because of the cost. I had to step up my dose and the cost is too much at this stage. The insurance company denied me for ozempic because I’m not diabetic. I’m going to try again with Wegovy since it’s meant for weight-loss.
BarqsHasBite ( @someguy3@lemmy.ca ) 11•2 years agoI mean don’t stop the larger weight loss journey, even if you stop the drug. You got it brother.
Navi ( @Navi@lemm.ee ) 2•2 years agoHey, totally hear you on the cost. My insurance stopped covering it for me so I had to find a different way…did some research and found helixchem.co and they are legit. I found the code MEC10 on a coupon website and it keeps working for 10% off. I’ve been using the coupon since april…sooo…hope this helps!

They are usually more expensive than Walmart (or other box store) brands and take more care when washing, but to me are definitely worth it. You can find them for fairly good prices on Amazon if you don’t want to splurge on name brands, but you have to do the research and check the reviews. You can get them in boxers, briefs, and thongs for men and even more styles for women.
Bamboo?
calhoon2005 ( @calhoon2005@aussie.zone ) 3•2 years agoNot sure where your are, but there’s a brand called Boody here in Australia. They might ship.
distractedcactus ( @distractedcactus@beehaw.org ) 1•2 years agoTechnically they are both types of rayon manufactured from bamboo and birch trees, respectively. They are both synthetic - because they’re tree-derived but processed into fibers - but if you search for rayon you’re going to get a lot more than those two types of fabrics.
You could also look up TENCEL, the name of a trademarked fiber material used in modal fabrics. It’s present in a lot of different types of textiles beyond clothes, but they are great for underwear. I like modal a little better than bamboo, but it’s good to try different materials to see what’s right for your body.
