0/10 do NOT recommend two days in a row of hour long electrolysis sessions.

I don't think I have the stones to do this once a week for a year or more. 😜 (#trans humor)
It does get more tolerable over time. And it helps if your electrolysis technician understands that managing your pain/tolerance is the highest priority, followed closely by not damaging your collagen and keeping your skin healthy.
@WrenArcher yeah, i used to do 2-hour sessions once a week, and it got to the point that i was depressed and discombulated for almost a third of the week. I switched up to every other week, which was easier and tuen eventually had to go to once a month because i just couldn't. If it gets too rough, definitely suggest pacing yourself because it will make it more manageable.
Either that, or find one of the places that provides numbing shots and does several hours at a time. My insurance threatened to not cover my care if I did that since technically the shot would be out of network, but i've known folks who do that out of pocket and say it's so much better and absolutely worth it.
Anyway, solidarity in the zappy stab sisterhood 😖🫂✊️
