This thread is amazzzinnngggg. I'm glad I'm not the only one who discovered baby wipes. The bf likes facials and they are the best thing to clean up with.
That and we use a really sticky/slippery lube for anal, and while it's condom safe, it would take ten hot showers to get clean without the aid of baby wipes. ;)
I always have a notebook near by to keep track of regulars. I have a horrible memory and would forget details if I didn't write things down.
Other than that pretty much everything has been mentioned.
To get into the groove, I take a shower, listen to music, do my nails and make up, maybe watch a sexy movie or two...
I would count those as "tools of the trade" because without them I would not be up to do anything.

Vodka - because a girl can get nervous sometimes.
99 Bananas, because vodka doesn't taste that good to me. :P

I posted this in another thread figured I'd post it here as well since so many lady's seem to use wipes.
I was searching how to make makeup remover cause I'm tired of buying makeup removing wipes and them drying out. Anyways I came across how to make your own baby wipes and figured it could be of use here.

Love this thread!!! I absolutely have to have:
Giant tub of coconut oil
Giant pack of baby wipes
Towel
My tub of toys (mostly glass, with a couple realistic ones thrown in for riding and BJ shows)
Skintone, full length pantyhose (I actually try to keep all of my millions of pairs of pantyhose/thigh highs within grabbing distance!)
Box of costumes
Sexy heels
Spotify premium (yay no commercials!)
Yoga pants, running shorts, sports bras, sweaters, sweater dresses, thick winter tights, boots, office clothes....basically every item of clothing I own has to be in my room...

Just added something new to my arsenal - dry shampoo. OMG. Changed my life. I have been using coconut oil for lube/oil and I always manage to get it in my hair (from doing oil shows and playing with my hair constantly), so by the end of the night my hair looks greasy and gross. Not anymore! Spray it in, brush it out, wham, bam, perfect hair all night. Love it.

Oh, man... I mentioned this in the Streamate thread, but it bears repeating. SUPER cheap, crappy mug-warmer. Like, if your drink has already gone cold, it won't do shit. If your drink is still hot, then this will keep it lukewarm... But put a dollop of coconut oil into a clean mug, and it will melt the oil and get it JUST warm enough that it's pleasant without getting it scalding hot. It's one of the best purchases I've made!

I LOVE this thread. Thank you ladies for all the awesome suggestions. I feel like I have to print these posts out and make a camgirl handbook LOL. On my bucket list!
EDIT: for sexy music, you can't go wrong with Hed Kandi (well, unless you hate house/club music. But it's great for setting the mood).

Lip stain!!! I love having bright lips on cam because of how much they stand out, and lip stain just makes things so much easier. It lasts for hours, even through dildo bjs :P

Definitely give it a try! My favourite affordable lipstains are the Revlon "Just Bitten" ones. Yeah lipgloss goes really well ontop, to me they actually feel kind of dry without some sort of lipgloss or balm.

Lube on the toys, before the show starts.
It sounds so obvious! Yet, I skipped this step my first night. I was AMAZED at how fast and furious I was going in and out of private! The next night, I got all the toys lubed up in advance! I just don't seem to work up enough saliva to be able to spit on them.

A little phone app called WiFi Speaker. It forwards the sounds on PC to smart phone. I have a large house, and cannot hear the computer prompts if I leave my camroom. I got earaches wearing a bluetooth, and cannot just sit in the room when not in a show like a whatever..now I dont have to worry about missing the chat rooms noises. I can even go outside! I couple this with another app called simply Bluetooth Manager, which routes the sound on the phone to the phones bluetooth. I use it when the guest has a mic of his own, which eliminates any feedback. This has made my life so much easier :)

Go to target and ransack the dollar bins! Think creatively and you'll return with a bunch of cheap stuff to play with on cam that will make sessions fun and interesting!
For example today I bought for $1 each a cute little pink hammer and a little plastic baseball bat to do CBT/SPH shows with little penises! HAHAHA!

Totally agree with this. It doesn't even need to be sexual at all. I started blowing bubbles in free chat (on MFC) and everyone loved it. Seriously, these dudes are so easy to entertain. I am really chatty in fc and try to keep it minimally sexual unless someone is tipping for a specific act, and having "props" around is great because it can give you shit to talk about if the room is quiet and no one is tipping for anything or taking you private. If guys come in to your room and you're just sitting there, they're pretty likely to leave regardless of how pretty you are. If you're actively doing something and talking or at least smiling, they're way more likely to stay.
I have become SO addicted to Red Bull since I started camming. It's honestly becoming a problem because I'm spending like $12 a day on it and it makes me super bloated.

OK, this is my kit:
- lipstick, lip liner and Lipcote (so it stays put for hours). Mac - Ruby Woo and Mac Cherry lipliner.
- babywipes, fem-fresh wipes and deoderant wips (but I can make do with just the first)
- hand sanitiser
- Water. Lots of it. I drink about 4 litres a day.
- A good book, and a to-do list.
- Dry shampoo
- Gum
- A box with separate containers for clothes, toys (dildo, etc), and BDSM style toys (like clamps, pinwheel, pegs, etc)
- Condoms for my sex toys, and buzzfresh wipes.
- Hair balm to put on my ends after straightening
- Hand cream, because sanitizing them dries them out.
- Nail file

Well, I only cammed for about a month last year, but I plan to get back into it this year c:
This was the basic list I had back then:
Strong WHITE lights - I always look better in white light XD
Clean Towel
Makeup + Remover, Eyeliner, Mascara, Eyeshadow, Coverup, Chapstick - I put it on heavy because of the way it shows up on my cam
Baby Oil + Lotion - Good for making your body shiny or not dried out! Don't put it on your toys!
Toys - I only had 2, one for Vaginal, one for Anal. They were very distinctive. I never mixed them up, they never touched each other and I wiped them after every private. I'd give them a very thorough clean before and after my shift with disinfectant and then very mild hypoallergenic soap.
Feminine Hygiene Wipes - Sort of like baby wipes, but they don't SMELL like baby wipes, lol. I cut one in half and use the left half for the V toy, and the right side for the A toy (I keep them on their corresponding sides of the room or mark them to prevent mixups).
Big Water Bottle - Need to re-hydrate!
Cranberry Juice - The real stuff. Helps prevent UTIs and other nasties.
Music list + Player I make a specialized list for my show so I have the right mood in my room. Otherwise I use the radio if I have to.
Nail polish + Clear coat shine - I always do my toes + hands. Always makes my feet look better on cam, lol
External Keyboard + Mouse + Microphone I like the external keyboard so the people in my room don't hear that awful clacking noise + shaking (if you put your webcam on your laptop) and the external microphone made me sound better and the music in my room not sound crappy.
Extra Monitor - Not a necessity, but makes life easier. I used to like to code a goals bar (or use the extra screen to see my income on the site) to get motivated and it also lets you see yourself on the encoder and handle the chatroom at the same time in an easier way.
Clothes, props, at least 2 or 3 matching bra and top sets + cheap underwear to sell - Guys like matching things. I made more money when I matched o.o I also got underwear from the dollar store too though XD
Those were my basics when I first started out, but I know I'm probably missing things because I'm a beginner but I hope it helps :D

I did not think about anything like this. I usually get so tired around 1:30 am and the past few night have been really busy but I get tired and have been calling it a night. Must pick up some energy stuff. ;)

The people who invented post-it notes were fucking saints. I had a pooper tonight. "will you watch me shit on C2C?" Pretended like I was super into it, put some post-it notes over the window and responded generically based on what he was saying and asking me.

Just wanted to mention that baby oil is the best make up remover I've ever found. It won't make you break out and it takes off even the most stubborn waterproof stuff. I massage it all over my face for a couple of min and then wipe off with cotton balls and then follow up with my regular cleanser and routine. It makes a huge difference in my skin texture as well.

I LOOVE using oil for removing makeup but something without petrochemicals - like sweet almond oil or coconut oil.
We absorb so much through our skin, unfiltered by the other organs, you don't want nasties kicking around your body making you all toxic!

I've been using Marula Oil as a moisturizer/primer for my face and neck. It's amazing. My skin feels soooo smooth and soft now and I love how it really absorbs into the skin. It's also a great hair oil. I use the one from Swanson's Vitamins, it's 1/3 the cost of buying it from anywhere else for the same quality. Google, "marula oil", and find out all the miraculous benefits. It really does live up to the hype.

Amazing thread ladies! I am curious what toys Coconut Oil is safe with? I will assume glass toys, of course...but everything else seems like it may not be a good idea? Perhaps a bit limiting. I don't want to run a $200 sex toy you know what I mean?
Some of my must haves for camming are:
1) Good Attitude...and making myself laugh
2) Organic Green Tea or Yerba Mate
3) Keep a daily goal each day and if I have a slow period...don't give up!
4) Natural Sea Sponge in case I'm on my period (pretty much fool-proof...just cut to size, get wet and pop it in. Check it every 2-3 hours depending on flow). The time of the month isn't gonna stop my earning potential, although I do like to take just the very first day off.
5) Lip gloss & fun eye shadow colors.
6) My magic wand!!!

I was at Walgreen's and noticed that they sell their own brand of massagers (vibrators). It only costs $16, so what the heck. If it sucked I could always return it.
OMG! The greatest vibrator.. EVER!!!.:dance:
Not only is it cordless, but it's smaller than the Hitachi ( my hands are really small, so the big Hitachi is difficult to hold). The head of it adjust to 2 positions. Also has 2 speeds.
Glam is in love!:-*

I recently discovered the Pomodoro technique...breaking your workday into segments. It basically looks like this:
take 25 minutes to complete a task and then a 5 minute break. This whole 30 minute unit is a "pomodoro."
after you have completed 4 pomodoros, take a 15-30 minute break and begin your next set of pomodoros.
I've been using this for making mini goals or just to get my booty on cam. There are actual timers so you can keep yourself accountable. Sometimes, I find myself exhausted and conking out way earlier than expected since I didn't give myself much needed breaks. You'll be amazed at how refreshing a 5 minute break is.
If you'd like to incorporate this into your work routine, there are web, iPhone, and androids apps for free!
