From The Neck Down

This was when I was still in the process of doing a first full scalp epilation, which explains the unregular shadow.

While epilating my scalp was, at that point, still something very new to me, I had already been a long-time user of epilators everywhere else on my body. With the exception of my scalp and brows, there is no body part I haven't epilated for at least ten years.

The first area where I tried not to shave and instead to remove the hair by ripping it out, was my pubic hair. I started with tweezers though (and I would still recommend at least thinning them out this way). My pubes were shaved most of the time already, and at some point, instead of taking the shaver, I ended up tweezing them one by one. Starting from the happy trail and then going down further and further; however, not everything in one session, that would have taken too long. When everything was gone, I kept it up with regular plucking sessions.

While that was really exciting, it took a lot of time, which is why I ended up buying an epilator and trying my luck with that (I had found some information that others had used one on their pubic hair). And it worked pretty well, especially since the hair had been pulled out repeatedly already. I didn't use the epilator on my penis and scrotum, except for very small patches and carefully stretching the skin to avoid any accidents. For beginners, there I'd recommend to take only tweezers.

From there on, it didn't take long for me to try the epilator everywhere below the neck. I'd say I had a normal body hair coverage, maybe just slightly on the sparse side, but the individual hairs were relatively thin, which helped in the process, I believe.

More or less in that order, after the pubic hair, I epilated:

My butt - surprisingly easy, if my memory serves me well, even the crack wasn't very painful (and yes, it is possible to epilate there). From my experience and as a general rule, the more muscle/tissue there is under the skin, the less it should hurt.

The rest of my stomach and my chest - the stomach hurt a little more, but all in all, that was rather uneventful.

(I love having smooth legs)

My thighs and knees - already more painful, the pain varying depending on the side; inner thighs and knees could have hurt most, but it was a long time ago, and compared to the scalp, everything I'm talking about here is pretty harmless anyhow. If my memory serves me well, I also used the tweezers on the knees to get some of the hairs the epilator couldn't.

My calves - don't remember any specific problems there.

My feet - done rather quickly, not that much hair anyway.

(I wouldn't want to miss the skin-on-skin feeling under my arms)

My underarms - I think the pain was bearable under there.

My arms - some problems with the elbows, tweezers needed, just like in the case of the knees.

My hands - mostly ok, except for the upper outer sides that I remember being painful; that's also where most the hair was, and not that much tissue underneath.

(unlike my legs, the arms will be seen by others a lot during summer)

A couple of things that go for all of these places:

Trim before epilating: I sometimes see videos of guys who try out epilating on full length body hair, almost inevitably ending with them giving up after seconds (and screaming). Not a good idea. Instead, I'd trim everything to half a centimetre, sometimes even less, depending on the epilator. That way, the affected area of the skin is a lot smaller, the hairs will all be pulled in a similar direction, and the epilator is less likely to jam.

Find an epilator that works on very short stubble, even 1mm or less: This might depend on what your hair is like, in my case this one worked like a charm:

Later, for maintenance purposes, I added another one that rotates a lot faster. However, the slower speed is much better in the beginning.

And I've always preferred models that use a cord as power supply. No reason to worry that the epilator could run out of battery in the middle of a session.

Ingrown hairs: For me, that was only a problem where my pubes used to be (but not on my genitals). They didn't cause any major infection requiring to see a doctor, and at some point they just disappeared. Lots of people say using some kind of peeling product helps, I mainly just ignored those pimples. After some years, it simply stopped happening, which is probably caused by a lot less hair growing back. I read somewhere that it's precisely the ingrown hairs that are more likely not to grow back, if that's any consolation.

These days, I use three different epilators on my body - my fast one which works very efficiently nearly everywhere for maintenance purposes, the above mentioned model exclusively for my butt crack, and a gentler, curved one for parts of my penis/scrotum. The bits where I don't take the epilator are still cleared up with a pair of tweezers.

Ripping out the entire hairs means that you don't get *stubble*. Instead, the hair that reappears is thinner at first and will only get thicker if you let it grow further. If you don't wait too long with the maintenance, over time maintenance will become a lot faster and almost painless.

I prefer to go over each area twice a week, simply because I want the smooth feel. But even if I waited for a week or more, the regrowth would be so fine that it would be invisible for everyone not specifically looking for it.

I used my epilator today after my shower even though I didn't need to. I usually use it 2-3 weeks.

I think I just wanted to feel something different other than how I've been feeling...😐💖✨️

Story time because I need opinions.😖👉👈

A little while ago I ended up getting waxed by my friend. She finally found some time, and we set it aside to use the thingy we bought in the mystery store. So she came over and it was really fun at first cause we were just hanging out😇

But then it started.

It took forever. It needed to heat up and it was complicated and hot ouch. Then the actual waxing. It was awful and hurt alot; 4 hours of pure agony. (also it was embarassing and omg wow when she was taking charge😖👉👈😖😖😖😳) And to top it all off I was all sticky after she was done with me, and i couldnt wash it off no matter how hard i tried🥺

But after a few days it was amazing. My skin was so smooth and shiny and amazing🤤. And my legss they were so shinyyyy and smooth. I've never felt like that it was a totally new experience. But that was a few weeks ago and now my hair is starting to grow back.😢

I dont wanna wax again because that was awful, so i looked into other options and epilators are a thing i didnt previously know about because this is all new to me👉👈

Should I get an epilator? Was almost gonna get one, based on someone's reccomendation, but didnt click buy on the shopping cart cause im just so nervous😖😖😖👉👈. Is it even worth trying to keep the hair away? It felt so nice when i was smooth but i just dont know :(

Opinions on epilators? Smooth boys? Is it worth it? Advice? Pls help🥺💕

Srry for the long post.

If epilator hurts too much, a good way to make it more enjoyable is to make it sexual!

Let me know if you try it so I know if it's worth giving a shot!

[jazzieam]

Tmi, but I just used an epilator on my bikini area for the first time (like a shaver, but it plucks your hairs from the root like waxing would) and holy fuck that was not fun. We're taking a break and gonna go at it again tomorrow, fam 😂

Pins and Needles

Hello internet! My name change order came in a few days ago! I was so excited when it arrived after waiting for what felt like forever. So my name is official now! Now to start the long process of updating everything else.

So I had my first test of an epilator on my arms. After doing my research, it was very clear that it was going to hurt. Oh goodness was that the truth. It felt like thousands of little needles ripping out each follicle of hair one by one. My spouse was with me, holding my hand, and when I was using it closer to my hand, they said they could feel it plucking. My intent is to use it on my face one day. After today, it'll probably be a while before I build up the nerve!

I made sure to exfoliate first, and moisturize after. I also put aloe on my arms after, as they are radiating heat, and look like they have a rash. This is going to be a journey for sure!

This will be a journey, but one that will continue to lead to great things!

If you have any tips, tricks, advice, or just your own stories, let me know!

Much Love!

Alex

Probably, I would not have tried epilating my scalp had it not been for finding evidence first that 1) it works, and 2) the results look amazing (if the shadowless look is what you are aiming for).

There are two sites where I found this proof, one being slybaldguys.com, which many of you will know; it isn't as active as it used to be years ago but has a couple of threads on *scalp tweezing*. And then there is this:

Scalptweezing.com seems to not have been updated for about 10 years now, and it has the typical look of websites from 20 years ago. I wonder what has become of the owner, who was obsessed with baldness and with achieving permanent results, and also helped others who wanted to go down that same route.

While I didn't follow the main method the guys on there advised (which involves taping sections of your head), there is also an entry from a guy who talks about how he used the epilator on his head, spreading the process over a longer period of time. And that's what I ended up doing.

Since I'm getting some questions on how I managed to epilate my head, I thought it could be useful to start posting on the issue. This is what I intend to do in a couple of days, no idea yet how many posts that will be, but it will be from my practical experience with using epilators all over my body.

So stay tuned.

I tried my new epilator tonight! Absolutely love it!

So uh, don't scroll down if you don't wanna hear about injuries in that area (This is informative for people using epilators)

So uhhhhh if you are AMAB, don't use the epilator on your balls. Write that down in your handy dandy notebook! I may or may not have done just that and uhhhhh very fucking bad idea. Also wouldn't recommend with ass hair, just because that is a sensitive area too. If you insist on not using a razor, just tweeze. You may still bleed, but it's not as easy to just lose skin. The epilator does that, but a bit too fast.

Your safest bet is probs something designed specifically for that area, but I very much advise against testing the waters in that area with much else than that or a tweezer if you wanna

epilators are like little torture devices to me. so much more painful and difficult than i thought. still takes ages and constantly going over the same spot because the pain makes it hard to resist pausing/pulling away. the charge died and it can't be used plugged in so i resorted to plucking out the rest of my hair individually until my back started hurting so bad from the weird position i was in that i had to stop. my skin is so irritated. i think i need more therapy also

There’s an episode of Rugrats where Angelica, in one of her moments of pure maliciousness, fucks with Chucky before his first haircut by plucking one of his hairs out and asking him how much it will hurt to have them all pulled out. I was little when I saw it and that was funny and also upsetting in an empathetic way to me. I had my first haircut already, so I knew it didn’t hurt. But I was small enough with few enough experiences to my credit to really think about how much getting all your hair pulled out would hurt.

I saw the same episode a couple years later and it was just funny. The idea of pulling out a whole lot of hair had faded from memory. It was still a little sad that Angelica was so needlessly cruel, but I couldn’t really put myself in Chucky’s place. Getting all your hair pulled out at one time wasn’t a real thing that happened.

On a related note: FUCKING EPILATORS! JESUS CHRIST!
