For about 100% of my life I wore the same look: pants and T-Shirt/Hoodie. In Summer it was a short pair of pants and a T-Shirt. Another important thing is, that I rarely get sunburn, even when not using suncream, and I therefore rarely use suncream. These two things get quite funny, when You start to transition and start wearing more revealing clothes than usual.
So there was a pride parade a few weeks back and I decided to wear this very cool shoulder free top. Guess who forgot to wear suncream, and then burned all of her shoulders, because she never ran around shoulder free, and therefore her skin was not adapted to the sun?
So please for the love of god, when going out with more revealing clothes than usual:
WEAR FUCLING SUNCREAM
Yes! Also really important now during both festival season and massive heatwaves in Europe
I don’t seem to have any fucking sunscreen. Will the regular stuff work?
Yeah, it should work too. The fucking part is important if you want it to stick better to your skin.
Also some meds have warnings against prolonged UV exposure.
Always read the fine print.
Shitty LPT: get a bunch of fine line tattoos, that way you’ll be inclined to wear sunscreen in order to keep them fresh
The hell is “suncream”? Did you mean sunscreen?
It was a literal translation from the German word for it, but (as I learned in this thread), it is a correct English word (that means the same as sunscreen)
I’ve never heard suncream here in the US, but apparently it is a valid term. Sunscreen is a better word, though, because it won’t be confused with suntan lotion, which “suncream” could be. Sonnenschutzmittel looks to be the closest equivalent to “sunscreen”.
I believe that is the more commonly used term in the UK while sunscreen is more USA.
All it took was not rubbing in spray-on sunscreen for me to get blisters all over my shoulders on a waterpark day as a kid.
The sun hates me. 🥲
I like to bring a big gay umbrella or a parasol to Pride. =D
SUNSCREAM
I got sunburn so badly it gave me something called “Hell’s Itch” and I will never forget sunscreen again from that experience. Think of your foot falling asleep but all over your sunburn. I probably have nerve damage from it.
That sounds like pure hell
It’s very aptly named
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sun is awful, i get very very uncomfy on sun, my vision is unhappy, my body too
just wearing closed clotches, since feel incredibly sensory uncomfy outside when my skin is too open, never wearning short pants
also when trying to use sunscreen uguguhguh is very sensory uncomfy, i hate feeling of something on my skin, even own sweating (this can lead to very very sensory overloads),
Found the vampire
maybe because the sun in my asshole is pretty rare? and mostly hot days are very rare, either -30C winter either +30C summer, and awful mid periods such as spring, autumn, sun is rare, most of year is cold
alsoooooooo my body is sensitive to heat, but isnt to cold, weird, my mom opposite which leads to conflict with home temperature, fan, clotching
I love the cold so much. If it were a person I’d marry it.
I remember one day few years ago, i spent entire day outside on hot sunny day. I was literally cooked. Now i put sun protecting cream on EVERY bare piece of my skin.
I still have nightmares of my fucking feet peeling after a day at the beach as a kid. And oh the sun blistering on my nose. I do worry about my skin cancer risk lmao
I spent one summer day snorkeling around tidepools as a kid; it was a blast. Saw a bunch of fish, even an octopus!
…And I didn’t put sunscreen on at all, so my back got so burned I couldn’t hardly sit or lie down the entire rest of the trip lol
Never forgot sunscreen again that’s for sure
hey dacow <3
its called sunscreen ~ i know i know “Sonnencreme” but still hehe >v<
In case you don’t know, “sun cream” is a regional variation of the term “sunscreen”. It’s also often called “sun block” or “sun lotion”.
Just so you don’t get shit in the future, the word is “sunscreen.”

Sunscreen, also known as sunblock,[a] sun lotion or sun cream
You should really make sure you’re right before being pedantic.
I’ve never heard anyone call it sun cream in 30+ years, so it’s an understandable thing to think someone is using a slightly wrong word. I don’t find it pedantic at all. Wrong, apparently, but not pedantic.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pedantic disapproving : of, relating to, or being a pedant (as in being overly concerned with minor details)
I don’t consider informing someone of something they might not know to be “overly concerned with minor details”
You literally don’t know what you don’t know. Learning new things and informing people of new things shouldn’t be frowned upon.
Personally, I understood what sun cream is from context, and assumed OP is not a native English typer. Close-but-not-quite words like that are common, and a polite correction is appreciated by many. I absolutely love when I use the wrong word in Spanish and someone politely corrects me, because then I understand the language better.
I’m sorry if that comes off as “pedantic” to you, I guess.
Personally I find any unsolicited grammar “advice” unnecessary and incredibly rude, doubly so when it’s not even right. It just breeds toxicity and devolves conversations into pedantry about pedantry.
Well then I guess have fun being upset on other people’s behalf for the rest of your life. 👍
