I don't use this everytime, but if it's a warm day and I know I'm going to be er, "glowing" under the hot lights I use some makeup setting spray to help keep my face where it belongs. http://www.modelinabottle.com/model-in-a-bottle.html

If you have an android phone, or any other that may have such an app, I highly recommend "CamScanner". I have an older printer but no scanner, and that has been a huge problem for me when it comes to filling out all those annoying papers.

The program literally takes a picture of your document using the camera phone, scans them, resizes and edits them, and lets you email them, upload them to "Evernote" (another must-have, especially for college students), or even facebook or your online photo album. And the scan comes out SO clear and the perfect size. It literally only takes seconds. I'm impressed.

I second the thing about Evernote. I upload all my important docs on there so that I'll have duplicates. I can also use it to keep track of expenses by taking photos of receipts and posting them in different categories, helps a lot with taxes so that I can get every deduction possible.

I also use google calendar to keep track of my schedule for everything, not just cam. There's an app for Android with it, so I can then update/modify it. I can also let other people see it, or only a portion of it, so they can then add themselves in, etc.

For the girls with probs using certain toys etc always go for phthalate/phalate free toys. Thats the stuff that causes problems. Its used in most toys that are made in China so be aware of that. I have a site selling toys etc so if anyone is having problems finding them PM me and Ill point you in the right direction. Also lubes and outfits etc. Im UK based and new to camming but have been selling toys and outfits a while now. Water based lube with Aloe Vera. Xx

I'd stick with the organic, unrefined coconut oil- if you have a health food store in your area, or if your local grocery store has a health food section you should be able to find it there. I've been using coconut oil for a couple of years now.... in addition to lube, it's a great hair/skin moisturizer- and you can cook with it! I scoop out what I'm using for non-cooking into a pretty little lotus flower dish and leave the original container in the kitchen. Replenish as needed. :)

I'm new, so this is actually my first post haha. But, I just wanted to say that desk lights with goosenecks (such as this one http://ak1.ostkcdn.com/images/products/P1134898.jpg) are really good to put on your desk and turn right on you. They are really cheap, like $12-$20 and just put in a soft light bulb (30 watt) and it looks like your glowing.. playboy style! :)

For the UTI and kidney infection problems I'd recommend not just water, but also cranberry juice through out the day. You can use the flavored if it's too much plain like Cran-Grape. Cranberry juice will make you pee more often and also has properties that will not allow bacteria to stick to the walls in the urethra which will help flush it out more easily.

pretty please nobody kill me for this...

I have super duper oily skin and just purely on accident I mixed baby powder in with my loose pressed powder and my goodness my skin stayed oil free ALL DARN NIGHT, which it never does. I've done it on purpose a couple nights since and in between my liquid foundation and loose powder "layers" it works amazing! Way better than any other high end mattifier I've ever used.

My mother had a UTI recently and did this. When she finally went to the Doctor and told him, he told her the "Cranberry" juice thing is a myth.

I think it was in the "You know you're a camgirl when" thread that someone mentioned baby wipes. I'm forever grateful to you, my lady who mentioned that because until then I'd never thought to use baby wipes instead of a towel. WAY more convenient.

So here's a thread to share the side items that make your shift on cam better/easier/more profitable. We all know we need sexy lingerie or cute outfits, a great internet connection and a cam but what else do you have that you're happy about?

1)A small portable heat fan
2)Lighting - I started off with those under sink floodlights you can get at home depot and now my boyfriend is letting me borrow his professional video lighting.
3)My Ihome Ipod player for my phone. You can run Pandora on your phone and it works with this.
(Link to the Ihome) =
4)A headset for my phone. Sure I look like a tech support operator a little but hands free is better.
What headset do you use? I got one but the sound is so low i cant use it.

That's because Cranberry juice manufacturer's don't tend to hold shares in medical companies.

Cranberry actually works well to help alleviate the symptoms of thrush and UTI's and has been well documented for hundreds of years. Roughly 2 glasses per day is what you need to drink, but as with anything, if symptoms persist for more than 4 - 5 days you really need to see a doctor as a UTI can quickly affect your kidneys x

Exactly if cranberry is used in the very early stages of a UTI, like the day you start getting uncomfortable it can knock it out. The majority of doctors are not educated on home remedies or other alternative medical practices. Most medical books are sponsored by drug companies. One of my pre-med classes actually discussed this entire argument for the course.

If I ever feel a UTI coming on all I have to do is take an AZO pill, it's an OTC cranberry pill. I may take it for one day and I'm fine the next. Fair warning your urine will be bright orange and do not where light colored panties it stains horribly, even from excretions.

It may sound funny, but I keep imagining myself trying to use Pandora and as soon as I get a customer, having the Pandora go into a commercial break..lol.. does anyone know if the IPhone app has the commercial breaks that the normal one does? lol. i know it would be embarrassing if this happened! I know because one time I was DJ'ing, and before I started my shift, the bar had Pandora running on the laptop. I was embarrassed, thinking that they must think that it was my horrible DJing skills. ;)

From my early experience....You need
1. to have a neat appearance (nothing worst then seeing a chick with a effed up wig or
2. Dildo ofcourse....(Preferably one with a suction cup, this way if your ass is to the cam you don't have to make any "ooooh" faces if your not in the mood really)
3. Lube
4. Something to cover your cam2cam screen when the guy is :yuck: lol yeah
5. a brush
6. a fan, if ur like me u can hot from constantly moving your body around in diff. positions.
7. An open mind.
8. Etc. etc. etc......too much to list lol

Hmm, you cant get an infection from a sex toy unless the person that initially used the toy was infected with something. No one else should be using your sex toy at all.
The ''toy cleaning'' spray is what I DO NOT trust. I just clean my toys at the end of the night by emerging them in hot boiling water. No need for all the other unnatural disinfectants. Those are the ones you should watch out for! Those toy cleaning sprays are very questionable to me.

You can most certainly get an infection from a toy. If it's not clean, or even if it is clean but it's made out of a porous material like rubber that will harbor bacteria. Any toy not made out of 100% Pure Silicone or glass (and maybe hard plastic, but then you're into the health effects of plasticizers) should be replaced every 3 months or so. Bacteria can grow on any toy and give you an icky infection.

Ok, back on topic. I like this thread.

I need:
+ Baby Wipes (Tonight I ran out so I took a bunch of paper towel sheets, dampened them and laid them out by my cam area);
+ A hand towel
+ Lube (I go through lube SO fast);
+ Hand Sanitizer (it works in a pinch)
+ My "whore box" (e.g. box o' dildos)
+ Huge glass of Crystal Light
+ Cigs (I chain smoke on cam)
+ Grooveshark
+ Makeup=Shine control powder, black eyeliner, false lashes and super glossy lip gloss.

Damn, those are a lot of "essentials" for me.

LaceyCummings
01-07-2012, 01:29 PM
I set up my little cam camp-site every day with the following essentials:

Cigarettes
Whore lipstick
Water/Diet soda/Cocktail
Oil/Lube
Heels
Stockings!!!!
"Decoy" Panties- they look like the ones I have on, in case my panty fetish regular shows up and wants me to gag myself (they get soaked!)
Towel- for messy BJ shows, I lay it across my lap and it catches spit like a bib
Blanket- for covering up my legs off cam when I'm cold (I try to keep it cool so my nipples are always hard)
Schoolgirl skirt- paid for itself ten-fold, and never lets me down!

I listen to Pandora too. I've had very good results with Bossa Nova music, like "Budos rising" by the Budos Band, or some good old FUNK, but that music makes me feel sexy, I'm sure it's all a matter of taste.
I do better with music without lyrics. For one thing, I feel like you can get away with having it louder without it interfering. Also, I'm not tempted to start singing along or mouthing the words. :-X
I forgot who said it, :-[ but YES Dubstep roxxxxxxxxxxxx too!

Baby oil/Skin So Soft
Baby Wipes
Antibacterial gel
A clean towel to lay toys out on
Different bras/panties/lingerie
Nail Polish
Bubblegum
Balloons
Lube
Lotion
Hair elastics/hairbrush
And of course cant forget the Diet Coke haha.

Cranberry works well but I hate it plain... Blueberry works JUST as well and you can get blue berry OR triple berry at trader joe's. Both cause the walls of bladder to be slippery but if you already have an established UTI it won't cure it. AZO has cranberry tablets OR the urinary pain relief tabs which are Pyridium (2mg less than prescription) and they are a lifesaver til you get to the doc. The pyridium turns your pee koolaid orange( and it will stain!) but really helps with the pain. My doc told me most UTIs (90%) are called by e.coli. So make sure you are wiping from front to back (even when you only pee) and try to take a break from thongs if you wear em! They are a direct pathway from butt to vag!

True

I can't remember who first asked about the UTIs but please pm me about it if you still need help.

I had very frequent and terrible UTIs following a sexual assault. Ever since the day I was raped I would get UTIs that were so severe I would end up in hospital within two-three hours after my symptoms first appeared.
I visited gynos, doctors, urologists everyone... no one could tell my why my UTIs were so horrific. I even had two scopes done to see if bacteria had buried itself in the wall of my uterus.
The urologist prescribed me a drug that balances the ph levels in my lady parts. We had to try two different types of medication because the first one made me need to pee every ten to fifteen minutes.
Throughout this whole thing spanning over three years, I have learnt a lot about UTIs.
Maybe some of these things are obvious, maybe not.

- drink lots of water. If you feel like you are getting a UTI don't stop drinking water, drink an ocean, it will save you a lot of pain.
- skip the cranberry juice, take a daily cranberry supplement. Its like taking a vitamin.
- don't ever hold your pee. If you need to pee, go.
- don't sit in wet underwear or bathing suits. Bacteria loves warmth and wet.
- wear breathable fabrics like cotton. Maybe for camming its better to be naked than in an unbreathable fabric. you can wear a short schoolgirl skirt or drape a sheet sexily over yourself.
- lube well and respect your limits. Rough and forceful entry also can trigger a UTI. its not just infection, it can also be roughness.
- don't stick anything in your ass and then your vag. just don't.
- wipe front to back.
- if you workout, change your underwear after. Don't stay in sweaty damp clothing.
- Sometimes tight clothing can trigger UTI, like tight restricting jeans.
- Pee right after sex, and shows.

Thats what I can think of right now.
Please pm me if you want to know more... I know I shared a lot... but I guess it makes me feel at least like my bad experience can be useful to someone else out there... us girls need to stick together.

I buy baby wipes at in bulk. Seriously. Like, 1,000 for $20 in those refill packs.

Between those and my make up remover wipes (I've found face soap is too harsh for my skin and gentle cleansers like Cetaphil can't removed all traces of make up from my face--which makes my skin break out big time) I feel like my carbon footprint is probably atrocious.

I got this cute little hollow ottoman from Walmart. The lid can be reversed and used like a tabletop. I sit on it at my vanity to do my hair and makeup, then flip the lid and keep my on-cam essentials within reach, but out of view. It's also great for stashing and storing toys!
*I will admit, I wish it was a little bit taller. (I wish I was a baller.) :P

I also have a giant plush flower with a big goofy smile wrapped around my light source just behind the cam. It reminds me to smile. I like to refer to the flower as "my sound guy." Ugh. Working alone in my apt all day every day is getting lonely yo...

Coffee fo sho.

I wasn't a big coffee drinker before, but I can't imagine not having it now. Especially because it's the middle of the winter and by the time I wake up, it's already getting dark. It just helps motivate me to get my butt up and ready and on cam.

Thank goodness I can't smoke cigs in my apartment, or I would probably be addicted to them again, lol.

I don't use much, but I guess I talk a lot, especially with submissive guys, so I have to make sure I have water to drink or my voice will get all worn out and scratchy.


I drink twice a day hot water with 2-3 spoons of a good brand honey, that is so comforting for my throat/voice.

ThatOneGirl

Stuff that I actually have and use:

-Box of toys (currently just a cardboard box; I really, really want to get a display case)
-Music (either my own playlist or Pandora; usually classic rock)
-Extra open browser (for Twitter, quick link lookups, stretch exercises, etc)
-Lip Moisturizer (I bite my lips, and this helps with the dryness, as well as covering up the evidence; I'll figure out how to stop eventually)
-Chair (I dance; chair is an awesome prop)
-Exercise ball (better on my back than sitting in a chair, keeps me energized because I'm bouncing, and the guys always have a laugh at it)

Stuff that I want to get:

-More lingerie! You can never have too much lingerie.
-Concealer. I don't wear make-up, but you can't prevent every break-out.
-Sheets and/or room dividers, to spice up my boring background
-A BED. We sleep on a futon mattress on the floor, and it's annoying.
-A laptop, so that I can do shows in my bedroom rather than in our living room on the only computer we own now.

I'm slowly getting into the groove of better shows.

This is a great post. Very informative thanks. I have had experience with Kidney infections caused by UTI's and I had about four of them and they were extremely severe, I was hospitalized each time. It was such a mystery at first because there wasn't blood in my urine, and after tests they said I actually don't have a UTI. They had no idea what was going on. But about two years later I got a new family doctor and I swear she is the best doctor ever, but anyways she told me that most kidney infections in women are caused by:
1. Not drinking enough water
2. quote "Your partner has a big penis or you are having rough sex, therefor more bacteria tends to enter the vagina "
3. Of course if were using toys frequently then bacteria has more of a chance of entering the vagina. Like many of the previous posters have stated, it is important to find a good way(or a way that works for you) of removing bacteria, there are many toy cleaning sprays and other cleaning alternatives out there.

So now if I ever feel like it hurts to pee a little or if I don't catch it fast enough and I'm getting any cramping in my lower back, I chug as much water as possible. Like liters, and liters of water. Until you can't drink anymore basically. Hopefully over the next several house you will pee a lot and it will go away.

Everything said in Paris-Doll's post is bang on right, and I would highly follow all of it!!!

Wow. That's a great idea! I have a very conspicuous set of plastic drawers. But I love it cuz there's a separate drawer for cam-lingerie, toys, and then other odds and ends like padlocks and handcuffs and so on.
Okay, my cam needs are:
-caffeine (soda/redbull/coffee)
-sexy music (took me ages to get Pandora to play the right songs)
-cell phone
-cigs and lighters & ashtray
-3 towels moved under my bedding (squirter)
-the drawer of toys and lube
-Lipstain- LOVE <3 this stuff, stays on for ages and looks natural
-Yahoo messenger open in the other window
-Pandora in a separate window
- LOTS of lube- caps pre-opened so the dudes don't hear the *snap!* of me opening it
