I’d been putting off any removal of my body hair because I can’t really afford any of the good options (basically I have a razor and an electric razor) and like without doing it I could imagine it being better than I knew it would be.
I’ve finally shaved everything neck down and it is somewhat better than I hoped. I am so much happier with how I look this way, and it feels better. But also, my skin is so pale and my hair so dark I can like still see all my hair follicles sitting there, which is incredibly depressing. I can’t make the hair actually disappear. And now, just one day later, I can feel stubble everywhere. The thought of having to do all that shaving multiple times a week is so depressing.
Hopefully HRT will do something here once I’ve been on it longer
Consider an epilator. Not great for face or pubes (too irritating I find), but for legs/arms/pits/chest/stomach it works wonders. Takes way longer for pricklies to show up, on a level similar to waxing. It’ll hurt till you get used to it, though.
I should do that. I haven’t cuz I’ve heard from others it’s really only good for legs and you shouldn’t use it on the chest and back and stuff. But it works well for you for that?
Well there’s different types of epilators. The type that’s a set of spinning discs can only be used for legs and forearms, but there’s another that uses a spinning drum of tweezers (basically) and that works for pits and torso. I use the Conair total body epilator.
I haven’t committed to large swathes of hair yet, mostly just patches to test, but in my experience waxing was a ton less painful during those patches. Epilating felt like someone was purposely torturing me. I’ve heard it gets less painful after the first couple times you pull out the hair by it’s roots, but for me at least waxing seems way easier.
