I really want laser hair removal, especially when Groupon says I can get it for 80% off. I haven't tried waxing yet because I heard it hurts. Is it really worth the pain? I also heard it was 5 weeks with no hair! 5/25/2011 9:58:38 PM |

I only shave right now. Can't afford laser. Want to wax for the wedding/honeymoon, but as I have never done it, I'm a bit scared. 5/25/2011 9:59:08 PM |

^^^^Maybe it's like that for the ladies, but it takes less than a week for the hair to return above the surface of the skin for me

One time I tried this cheap home waxing kit on my vag. I finally built up the nerve to rip it off and then rolled around on the floor for 30 minutes. After the pain subsided, I looked at my vag to realize no hair was removed. That kind of turned me off from waxing. 5/25/2011 10:01:30 PM |

If you have never waxed before, then you probably don't want to do it the first time for your wedding/honeymoon. The first time hurts like a bitch. After that your skin gets used to it and your hair is finer.
After my first wax, I think i was sore for a week or more. After doing it regularly, I would not be sore the next day.
I want to laser but it is $$$ and the guarantees seem to be dwindling these days (or they have loopholes that favor the business). 5/25/2011 10:15:48 PM |

Isn't laser permanent?
If time is money, then isn't it worth the money? 5/25/2011 10:22:41 PM |

^I heard it is, and it's the first choice of transsexual women everywhere, followed by touch-ups of electrolysis to catch the straggling terminal hairs
at least the lucky folks with pale skin and dark hair, otherwise it doesn't work 5/25/2011 10:24:19 PM |
scrager All American 9481 Posts user info edit post |
laser is 'permanent' but it doesn't always work 100% on everyone.
In the long run, laser would be cheaper than a lifetime of waxing or shaving, but you have to pay it all up front and i don't have the cashflow for that now. 5/25/2011 10:25:30 PM |

personally I've only used the tweezers for the hairs on my shaft, and it takes a while but I do enjoy the look and feel of a normal, smooth shaft 5/25/2011 10:29:40 PM |

I helped Anne try and wax her leg. Pretty much the same thing except she also had the hot wax explode over her when she took it out from the microwave.5/25/2011 10:40:16 PM |

Sam, use TendSkin. It is great for preventing razor burn. 5/25/2011 11:37:42 PM |

I'm never waxing again. The pain was fine as I think I have a really high pain tolerance, but it started growing back within the week and I also had to deal with the horrible ingrown hair issue. I've tried it twice. 5/25/2011 11:40:52 PM |

Does it prevent folliculitis too? Because that's actually what I had but that is really gross and I didn't particularly want to admit to that.

I know a dude who got laser hair removal on his back. He had to go about 3 or 4 times to get it all, and whatever package he got included free "touch ups" after that. It cost him some loot but for obvious reasons he didn't want back hair. 5/25/2011 11:51:46 PM |

waxing scares me and so do lasers
shaving works just fine with some bikini zone afterwards to keep ingrown hairs from happening
maybe im just lucky in the hair department but i dont have problems keeping everything in check and as i have stated before somewhere on here, i dont grow armpit hair which is the only thing i would probably consider lasering 5/26/2011 12:03:50 AM |

^ yeah I have major problems with shaving and waxing... the ingrowns are ridiculous. and it doesn't help that many times 3 hairs will be growing out of one follicle

if i miss an area with the bikini zone or forget to put it on (which you think i wouldn't considering how painful ingrowns are...)
i will go after the ingrown with tweezers and exfoliate the affected skin. usually takes care of it, even if it's a little sensitive directly afterwards 5/26/2011 12:09:57 AM |

^luckily for me my ingrown hairs usually run along my cornified epithelial layer, so I can usually see them and pinch the skin off so they can be removed by the epilator 5/26/2011 12:14:15 AM |

i pay for a brazilian every month (don't think i'd have the nerve to wax myself) -- for me the pain is instantaneous but goes away just as quickly so there's no lasting issues as long as i can get through those 15min (which really aren't that bad); used to use tendskin religiously but generally don't have much of a problem with ingrowns
recommendations for good waxing places are huge, definitely not looking forward to moving next month and finding a new place -- i've tried several different places the past 2 years and still haven't found one i love here and prefer to go to my old place in san diego whenever possible
laser removal has never really occurred to me as an option 5/26/2011 2:51:14 PM |
