When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

I have a hard time staying in the posture with heels. that's not to say I don't wear them from time to time, just not often.
I've been wearing teva flip-flops all summer, don't know what I'm going to do now that its getting cold. my toes have gotten used to all that room and fresh air.

crocs
granolamom go for the crocs- they are ugly as all get out but comfy and you can wear them with socks.....
If I wear heels for a while it makes my prolapse come down a little- but when I wake up the next day all is well again-
I like bare feet best

crocs...and Keens
I have to say, i love my crocs. e ven considering getting the furry winter ones, they are so comfy. i agree they look odd and are trendy, but i think do my body a ton of good.
i also love Keen shoes--they do warmer winter ones, prettier ones, loads--all very comfy, flat, great for your feet and body. really recommend them!

Hi All
Well it interesting hearing all of you talking about keeping your feet warm in winter coming up. I guess you have a real winter. We're heading into summer in Oz and I am so glad to be able to wear less clothes and bare feet inside and thongs in the garden. My ugg boots have almost finished their winter work. I guess they are really like furry, covered-in thongs. My toes like freedom, whatever the season. If you buy them snug they just stretch to fit your toes.
*And* don't buy those crappy acrylic fur jobs. They can do pretty good imitations of real sheepskin these days, but don't be fooled. Pay a bit more and buy the genuine sheep skin boots. The thick wool conforms to the shape of your feet and supports them. The wool absorbs incredible amounts of moisture without feeling wet, and the leather breathes. When the insoles wear a bit thin you can cut up the good bits of your last pair and make new thick insoles. This keeps them going for years and years. My current pair have been through two rapidly growing fourteen year old boys as slippers, and I have now been wearing them for at least five years. They are currently held together with duct tape and looking very worse for wear, but I can't bear to part with my silver woolly moonboots!
I really don't think it matters a bit what you wear while you are out and about except to say that flatter is better, flexible sole is essential and give your feet and toes plenty of room to spread. They are a vital part of your balance and gait.
BTW, my ugg boots don't go out in public any more!
Cheers
Louise
