Hair Removal

mica178 · November 2010

i just had my last laser appointment (hopefully) for the bikini area. 5 moderately painful sessions to hopefully never have to deal with shaving/epilating "down there" ever again. If it really holds (there's been a lot of hair reduction, slowed growth and thinner remaining hairs), then it'll be money well spent to always be lingerie-ready and not have to worry about things like 70s hair during the 3rd trimester, etc.

Oh man, some of the posts here are making me laugh so much, and I'm trying so hard to contain myself, because I don't want to have to explain what I'm laughing about to anyone!

But yeah, I shave for now. After I'm finished with school my lady bits and I are going laser all the way!

I have tried both laser hair removal (about 4 months) and electrolysis (8 months) and neither of them worked for me. I later found out they work extremely well for dark coarse hair and not very well for fine light hair, which is what I have. For eyebrows and lip I get either waxed or threaded, depending on the person doing it's preference or tweeze myself. I'll use an epilady on my arms and razor below the belt. I do plan to get waxed before my wedding. I do have a high pain tolerence, but I always pop a couple of ibuprophen and hour before hand, and try to time it right (pain does increase b4 your .)

Personally, I can't let my leg hair grow for long enough to get waxed or use the epiladay, and it is expensive.

Ok, I don't usually post such personal stuff, but here goes. (It's all for you Mandy!)

I've gotten waxed several times. A bunch of times about 7-8 years ago, then just shaving because it's cheaper. I decided before the wedding to go get waxed so I wouldn't have to worry about any of it and it was fine. Eyebrows, mustache, underarms, legs and bikini. It hurts, but I've been through worse.

I decided last week to get waxed again and got a bad skin reaction from it in the more delicate places. Apparently the skin on your faces is thinner than your legs/underarms, and more likely to react badly if the wax is tainted. So, yeah, I decided the universe was telling me never to wax again.

I'm so mad because a) I researched the place, read reviews, etc to make sure I was going to a reputable place and b) I had to take a day off of work to go to the doctor and felt/looked like shiit for a few days.

I know this isn't everyone's experience and I never thought it would happen to me but, there you go. I will never wax again.

I think Kentucky Kate got first degree burns on her face from getting waxed right before her wedding.

I get my brows waxed. Everything else I shave with the Shick men's razor with four blades. I almost got waxed for the wedding, but decided not to because I waited too long to decide that I wanted to.

I would get waxed. I go to a waxing studio for my brows, and they have all sorts of packages.

I need to deal with my rash first, though. Just because I don't want the waxer (waxist?) to think I have the funk. I don't even know if my rash has ever affected that area. But just in case.
