Use cold water when you wash your clothes. It's just as effective as warm and hot, but saves the energy used to heat it. More green tips from the iVillage community.

xx_irish_rose_xx asks, "OK, so I'm not sure if I am pregnant. I haven't taken a test yet and we always used a condom but my period is pretty late ... Has anyone ever gone through something like this? Should I tell him now I think I might be pregnant, or wait until I take a test...

Don't tell him yet, wait until you take the test otherwise it will just cause more stress between the both of you.

It's quite normal for your period to be late so don't worry about it too much, it's a slim chance that you are pregnant if you have been using condoms. Just be patient and wait, if it doesn't come then buy a test.

I've had that happen before. A period can be late beacuse of many reasons - change of climate, stress (especially that), inrease or decrease in physical activity and many other things. I would suggest waiitng until you know for sure. But also remember that take-home tests can sometimes be inaccurate. I have had a false positive once. So be sure to buy more than one.

The excuse for this latest...

America has a history of marrying girls at 12. . .there father's would trade them for cows or land or a goat. . . so why now is it wrong when the tradition has been there. . . why all the sudden should young girls feelings be in consideration ? yes i believe the age girls are having sex is young , but america has a tendency to forget it's own past .

Q: My boyfriend complained that my vagina has a bad smell. Is there anything I can do about that? A: Yes, but does it really? I mean, all vaginas have a distinctive odor. If that's what he's complaining about, only thing you need to worry about are your boyfriend's hang-ups. ...
