To ask you what's the most satisfying thing your body has done?

Since my last post was at a tangent, I've just remembered one particular time I had a blocked nose. I pressed one nostril closed and blew hard out of the other. What came out was the size and shape of a slug. Gross, but very satisfying.

I have this weird little recurrent blackhead thing at the top of my shoulder next to where my collarbone ends. It looks like a tiny mole but every few weeks I can squeeze it and gunk comes out. It feels so much more satisfying than squeezing any other spot.

Switched off the pain I had from fracturing my foot- so well I didn't know it was broken until a year later when I did it again and old healed breaks showed on xray...

Another vote here for the first post partum poo, achieved with the assistance of a heavy duty suppository. It was so huge I thought I was going to be hospitalised. I wept in relief and duly took photos.

I now understand why the midwives kept offering me laxatives after my EMCS, and seemed taken aback when I said I didn't need them. I have IBS and my body responded to the stress/unfamiliar medication in its usual way, by giving me the exact opposite of constipation. I wasn't at all surprised, but the midwives thought I had a nasty bug and moved me to a private side room with its own bathroom. The only perk my IBS has ever brought me.

The one and only time I had an ear blocked with wax coincided with the time that they stopped doing syringing at the GPs . I could not hear properly, my balance was affected and it was miserable. Used Earex and tried warm oil to soften it in the hope that it would loosen and drop out. Did not work and I was wretched . Then I happened upon a little plastic syringe on Amazon, all you did was was flush out the ear with warm water (not advisable but I was desperate). It worked like a dream and this great big lump of wax shot out. I could hear again, I could stand without feeling dizzy, the relief was magnificent and I have never forgotten how good it felt. Never had a blocked ear again but I have kept the syringe just in case

Although I didn’t enjoy labour, the actual expulsion of my DD was overwhelming and even orgasmic. I felt she was coming from the centre of the earth.

a few months ago, the relief of the trapped wind finally leaving me after laparoscopic keyhole surgery was immense.

The final push as middle child slid out, still in the sac. My other children weren't satisfying just agony as the waters were already popped. Every so often I kiss his massive head and remember that satisfying feeling, or maybe it's more of an oxytocin release.

Slightly different, I did a 75kg over head squat.

The sense of oh my god that's amazing followed by 2 days of tired! I was 65kg at the time of doing it..

I currently would struggle to do 25kg now 8 years later, but I'm going to work up and see what my 50 years later old body can do.

I don't know if this is allowed, but react to anaesthetic. I've had horrendous dental pain before and it's the worse pain I've ever suffered, worse than any bone I've broken. The moment that syringe of anaesthetic goes in, I could've cried with the sense of relief.

Other than that, a fart.

I sneezed unexpectedly earlier and my pelvic floor just about managed hang on!

The cyst had hair and teeth? Were you a twin?

I had an organ removed. For a few days after, every time I rolled over, my insides made a kind of gurgling, organs-reorganizing-themselves, SHLUMPF feeling.

It was awful and satisfying at the same time.

I had a large piece of dry skin in amongst one of my eyebrows. I pulled at it, and it slid out and over my eyebrow hairs in one piece. It had loads of little holes in it where the hair had been growing through it. Not had it since, but I still think about it.

One of the most satisfying feelings must be the feeling about 2 weeks after birth and 30 seconds after your baby latches and the rock-hard boulder boobs start deflating!

I love that empty, stone-lighter feeling after being bunged up!

I was hugely constipated a few years ago. It was so severe, I honestly thought I was in trouble! It was enormous and rock hard! I tried for days to push it out, sweating, panting, praying, crying, feeling faint, I even rang 111 at one point because I was so scared! They advised me to use an enema, which I did, and after straining and sweating and wailing, the enema still didn't break it down much at all but it was enough to get it moving and that feeling when I felt it moving and emerging, the elation when it finally exited my body was pure relief followed by immense joy!
I have made it my mission to never get that constipated again and so far, I haven't!

I wish periods were like this - but painless obviously

That is so fucked up.

I too have experienced the tree trunk poo and pulling a long hair out of my eye which were both great. But the winner for me would be a couple of weeks ago when I had one of those spots that are like a tiny hard round ball under your skin. It wouldn't budge when I squeezed it. Eventually I got the tweezers and plucked it out. It left a perfectly round little hole and made a small popping sound as it came out. Lovely.

When the midwife was trying to pull my placenta out, the cord snapped. I was in my own hospital room with private bathroom (NHS) so she told me to sit on the toilet and it should come out. It glided out in one smooth effortless drop. Such a strange but satisfying feeling.

I have multiple satisfying things that my body does/has done:

(1) I have some really long and deep burps that come out randomly and without warning.

(2) Really good poos when you're touching cloth. The feeling of release afterwards is sooooo satisfying!

(3) After giving birth to my first child, during the night, I hopped out of bed and felt something making it's way down my leg. I wondered what the hell it was, assuming it was perhaps a bundled up pair of socks or a pair of knickers that I'd I advertently managed to get caught in my trousers leg.

It was semi dark in the room because it was the middle of the night. It finally fell out onto the floor and bent down in poor light to pick it up.

It was a huge blood clot the size of my palm!!! Like a tennis ball size... I reported it to the midwife who seemed mildly concerned and told me to report it straight away if I had any.more. Never did though!.

I am loving these so much.

DH lets me ‘operate’ on him often. He’s a hairy fucker so he gets a lot of ingrown hairs for me to operate on. He’s so lucky to be married to a fully qualified surgeon

A blocked tear duct came unblocked and sprayed onto my cheek. Instant relief.

FUCK. OFF.

A record breaking poo (couple of days after after child number two, appropriately). Bloody enormous 😁
