What is your best sensation in your body when something gets better

I just used a nose spray as I was so bunged up. That crackly feeling all up my tubes was just lovely and now I can breathe again.

Also having a poo when you have been desperate is one of the best feelings too 😊

TMI WARNING The point during an IBS attack when the diarrhoea finally come and I stop feeling like I'm going to pass out, puke and spontaneously combust from how hot I feel all at the same time. It's indescribable to anyone who doesn't suffer and the relief when it subsides is massive.

When I had compacted ear wax and had gone a bit dead I paid for a private suction. I literally had an eargasm 😆

And I got to see what came out after which was amazing! I think of it fondly.

I would LOVE that. I love everything ear wax

That split second before you're about to orgasm and it's inevitable. That, and releasing a full bladder.

EvenStrangerThings03 · 05/05/2022 20:33

When I’m getting my hair dyed and the foils are all over my face, when the ones over my ear come off it always feels like bliss 😂

Bra off after a long day.

When the headache/migraine starts to ease after painkillers.

the relief of scratching an intense itch - that one is my fave.

Manicsfan · 05/05/2022 20:37

Some good ones here already.
I'll add doing a neti pot- the fizzy feeling when your sinuses get washed out is incredible. I'd recommend to anyone with hay-fever to give it a try.
And gentle neck exercises- dunno what the crunches and pops are, but it feels amazing

When my back is bad, and I get in the perfect position to click it

Please share how! I can never do this!

NumbLittlePea · 05/05/2022 20:39

When you wake up with a cold and BOTH nostrils are clear

I still fondly remember that 'let down' feeling of breastfeeding days.

nightwakingmoon · 05/05/2022 20:43

I still remember the amazing relief of DD draining out a full breast when I was engorged and due for a feed. She had a latch like a top of the range Dyson, bless her, and could empty a whole 34G breast in four minutes (I frequently timed it 😂)

It felt like the relief you get after emptying a bursting bladder, only in the breast. Can’t quite really describe it but I still have an embodied memory of how glorious the sensation was 🤣

Tilltheend99 · 05/05/2022 20:54

Does anyone occasionally get a sensation on their neck that is a cross between an itch and a tickle but is bizarrely sexy?

I also agree with taking bra off and the warm snuggly feeling of breast feeding (in a non-sexual way)

susiebluebell · 05/05/2022 20:56

Totally agree about the pop of water leaking out of your ear after swimming!

prampushingdownthehighst · 05/05/2022 20:59

Having a severe ear infection the consultant suctioned my ear and put beautifully cold anti biotic cream.in, one of the best feelings I ever had, I was in tears thanking him

pastaandpesto · 05/05/2022 21:01

I can't believe no one has mentioned yawning yet! That feeling when you are desperate to yawn but can't quite manage it, it doesn't go deep enough, and then suddenly it clicks and you have a wonderful deep, satisfying yawn!

Typing this has made me want to yawn and I cant

ThorFull · 05/05/2022 21:02

When I’ve been on my feet all day, aching feet, knees, legs, back, shoulders, neck. Then laying down on my beautiful bed, the pressure eases and waves of euphoria pulse through my body.

mayaknew · 05/05/2022 21:06

Having an itchy back scratched.

Especially when dd has had her nails done 💅 feels amazing !!

KohlaParasaurus · 05/05/2022 21:06

The feeling of having an empty bladder after really, really needing a wee.
When the cramp in my toes that sometimes happens on long bike rides wears off.

newmum0604 · 05/05/2022 21:07

When really intense period cramps subside!

The wee thing is multiplied a million times when its dead of winter, freezing cold and you have to get out of bed at 3am to go to the toilet. The feeling of getting back under the covers with an empty bladder is like heaven!

Areallthegoodnamesgone · 05/05/2022 21:12

Taking off heels after a night out, nothing better ☺️

Hibye23289 · 05/05/2022 21:13

When you get into clean pj's and washed sheets and your bed is sooo comfy when you sink into it!

Also the sleepy feeling just as you are about to nap and being able to do so, the sleepy feeling when you're at work and have to keep awake is not nice.

As said above, when pain relief kicks in

SpiderinaWingMirror · 05/05/2022 21:14

This sounds dramatic but the day I had a hysterectomy I cried in the morning, thinking I will never have another period, flood, period pain or PMT. I had my first period when I was 10 so had 35 years of it. I literally was smiling when I went under. Woke up to just a happy feeling. Happiest day of my life, included my wedding and 3 children.

DeFuckingLightful · 05/05/2022 21:18

Have you ever had trainers/boots that are slightly too narrow for your feet, but your out/at work and can’t take them off. When you get home and take them off, stretch out your toes and massage the sides of the feet. Heaven!

GillyGumbo · 05/05/2022 21:18

As per 2 x PPs, when a cracking migraine lifts. The blinding, sickening, shrieking pain that pounds even when you breathe, suddenly drains away.

You're left feeling exhausted, craving sugar, with a stiff neck, but bouncing with joy and relief.

Bellybootcut · 05/05/2022 21:19

Fishing out a bit of grit/ an eyelash/ crusty sleep from your eye. Lovely.
