Life is a multidimensional game we are forced to play on one difficulty level only: completely effin brutal. Just when you think you gathered enough experience to level up and chill for a bit, the developers throw another curveball at you. So why not make it easier with a few cheats?

While we shared universal ones numerous times (like when we published 30 Life Hacks That Sound Terrible But Really Work), this set is exclusively for the ladies.

Reddit user FloydianCrazyDiamond made a post on the platform, asking, "What is your most used life hack as a woman?" and her plea was heard! From interpersonal relationships to shopping, the comment section under her question was quickly flooded with all sorts of pro tips.

We managed to get in touch with FloydianCrazyDiamond and the Redditor was really happy her post exploded so quickly.

"I was lying on the sofa with my cats after a long day of work, mindlessly watching YouTube and thinking about how difficult life can be sometimes," FloydianCrazyDiamond told Bored Panda about the origins of her publication.

"There's always a never-ending list of things to do and you can barely catch a breath! So I thought I'd ask other women for life hacks in all sorts of fields, so that maybe it could make our lives a little bit easier, save us some time, or give us peace of mind."

It isn't worth the distraction, mood-kill, bunions, foot pain, injured toes, or inability to walk.
You don't break shoes in, shoes break in your feet.

The internet culture archive Know Your Meme noted that the term "life hack" was coined by tech journalist Danny O'Brien on October 23rd, 2003 on his blog Oblomovka where he described his research on the subject.

But over the years, we've reached a point where "life hack" can mean virtually anything. The phrase is tossed around mercilessly by publishers who want to milk it for clicks and it is even a name for a meme, mocking... itself.

However, as you can see, you can still find good advice on the internet if you look hard enough. Or ask people kindly. "A lot of the comments were really helpful tips," FloydianCrazyDiamond said.

"I think the hacks that kept showing up were in the personal hygiene category," the author of the post said. "There were also a notable amount of inspirational comments, of women sharing their own experiences and how their decisions changed their lives for the better."

Going through the replies to her now-viral post, FloydianCrazyDiamond thought the tip to keep a backup bag of essentials in your car was especially cool. "It's such a simple thing that we don't think about doing, but it could really save your day. Just be careful not to leave anything that's in a pressurized container in the car, as it might explode."

"A lot of the hacks were things I already do, like cleaning as I cook, and using conditioner instead of shaving cream, etc," the Redditor added. "I love how the post got a lot of comments and I'm sure many of us got at least one thing useful out of it."

Women Are Sharing Their Favorite Life Hacks, And These 30 Can Make Every Day Much Easier This sounds weird, but...not being afraid to be rude.

Manipulative family members, gaslighting ex-partners, dudes on dating apps who keep pushing boundaries, random men who think they're entitled to a conversation, etc.

Some dude trying to talk to you while you're reading or listening to music or working out?

Flat, blunt rejections. An annoyed and sarcastic, "Can I help you with something?"

Some dude interrupted me reading a book to start talking to me about something I wasn't interested in (his Funko collection, and I hate the cheap and ugly little things and would rather pay more for a Figma or Nendoroid, but because I have geek hobbies...) and after repeatedly stating I dislike their aesthetic, I finally flatly replied with, "Wow, that was a really boring story."

Take being a called a c*nt or b***h confirmation that it works. If the dude throws a tantrum, don't engage. Just silently watch him. Maybe throw in a nonchalant, "I see that touched a nerve," when he's done if you've feeling sassy.

Women Are Sharing Their Favorite Life Hacks, And These 30 Can Make Every Day Much Easier When I’m not feeling so hot / sexy or when I’m stressing about meeting my own standards, I ask myself: what would a guy do?

The answer is usually much much less than all this.

So then I sit back, accept my existence and presence is a gift to everyone and enjoy!

This also works when someone’s arguing with me (so I selectively listen), or someone’s being demanding (I ignore half of it), or when I have plumbing issues (my natural smell is sexy so who needs a shower right?).

There it is. Being a guy. That’s my life hack.

You’re welcome.

You’d be surprised how much product can be still in there - sometimes a few days’ or even a week’s worth.

Women Are Sharing Their Favorite Life Hacks, And These 30 Can Make Every Day Much Easier For those who use shaving gel that come in aluminum cans: before you put it in the shower stall, use clear nail polish to make a thin coat all along the bottom rim of the can. Let it dry for a few minutes then put it in the shower stall. This will prevent the can from rusting at the bottom/leaving those rust colored rings.

It's easier to cover the hole than it is to try and catch a tiny bouncy earring.

Women Are Sharing Their Favorite Life Hacks, And These 30 Can Make Every Day Much Easier Vinegar to soften towels, you don’t want to use fabric softener as it builds up and makes the towels less absorbent. It also helps eliminates odors. Vinegar to remove soap scum and hard water marks from granite. Vinegar sitting out in a bowl to remove odors, like onions, bacon, seafood. Basically vinegar for the win! Also always keep spare underwear at work and in your car, women just need them!

Women Are Sharing Their Favorite Life Hacks, And These 30 Can Make Every Day Much Easier Be polite and nice (in a non-harmful to yourself way) with strangers and people in general until they prove that they don't deserve good attitude.

If someone does something that is harming you, then you have all the rights to say "stop doing that". No need to wait until they realise, just say it when u need to.

If you feel like you want to go away from the convo, or u don't like what they are proposing (e.g. you're chatting and they ask u to send pics, or ask u out, or basically ask you do something u don't want to), then u can just say, "no, thank you" or even just "no" WITHOUT explaining. If they proceed to ask why and don't accept the answer "because i want/ don't want it that way", then chances are, they don't respect you. Situations are different, I'm talking about some generalised principles...

It might sound strange, but girls often go to extreme lengths to not hurt somebody else's feeling while forgetting to check if they are not being hurt by themselves. Always choose to love and care for yourself. ❤

Women Are Sharing Their Favorite Life Hacks, And These 30 Can Make Every Day Much Easier Anyway one life hack I have is to put your pad on your underwear and leave it on the sink so it’ll be ready once you get out of the shower and it’ll be less likely that you’ll have an “accident.”

I’ve been doing this for years but I found out a lot of women don’t know about this hack. It makes things so much easier when you’re showering on your period.
