Legs up ladies!


So ladies, seeing as how we share everything. What are your tips for keeping those legs elevated after Bd.

Lets just say I don't have the lightest Butt in the world, so when I just prop it up on a pillow, it doesn't feel like it's high enough. I use one of those big European pillows, I don't know, it doesn't feel right! lol

I'm thinking of buying one of those "wedge" pillows. They seem to get the butt right up there,

Anyone used one?




As you can see, hip and leg elevation don't seem to be a problem.

So what do you think?
It's either that, or leave scuff marks on my wall from my feet!

I have a gamer chair I flip over...my brother in law thought I was nuts one day when he accidentally walked in on me in my "position" :rofl"



Mine is similar to these...only more flexible...and makes a great bum rest.

Maybe this is where I'm going wrong, I don't use a pillow and never have.

Well those look great. Just when I thought my Ebay rush was done for this month LOL

What I do -seeing how my butt and legs are not the lightest in the world either- is to keep the pillow under, straighten my legs up and then pass the duvet behind my knees tightly and let go from the legs but sustain them by the two sides of the duvet by my hands. Works like a charm, as I previously testified I fell asleep with my legs up twice this cycle and that was how I did it

So NeyNey, get that wedge but try the duvet thing in the meanwhile. Good to see you're on your CSS - conception shopping spree- though!
