You have to leave Nair on for a long time. Be careful, it can burn you. I don't care for that particular product.

Hi

If you have nair for women you may have to let it on a bit longer or apply it more than once.

But be careful not to hurt yourself with it , follow the directions.

Otherwise there is a nair for men that seems to work better than the womens.

You can find it at Walmart or Target and it comes in a spray or cream.

I saw Nair for Men in the store yesterday; never noticed it before so maybe its a new product.

Has anyone had any experience with it, and what the difference is between that and Nair for Women?

Or maybe everyone here has been talking about men's Nair and not the female version.

Oh, I'm just confused. :blink:

Hey Carolyn

I used it for a while before I got my epilator.

It works better on the coarse hair than the womens. I liked the spray on type that Target sells, I didn't have to worry about a big GLOB of it falling on the floor. :lol:

I tried Nair for Men once, and well, it burned my skin thoroughly, but did absolutely nothing to my hair. However it should be taken into consideration that I have a combination of highly sensitive skin, and way more/thicker hair than your average teen (yay genetics). So yeah.

On the bottle it says don't use it on your face or genitals.

I haven't tried Nair for Men on my face, just the ordinary Nair... and I regretted it badly. :excl: It burned horribly for about 3 days, and didn't actually remove any hair. Ironically it stopped me from shaving because the pain from the water was so bad, so my face was far worse than it was before :P

So, yeah, I really wouldn't risk it... Mind you, I do have very sensitive skin (and mild eczema), so that might have been why, but I'm not going to recommend it after that day :wacko:

Sweetie,

I simply use BIC Twin Select razors (Silky Touch) to shave my whole body. For me, they work wonderfully. I use a fresh one everyday.

They come in this really cute pink package of ten. You can find in the grocerie store where they sell women's care products.

Love

Brenda

Shaving my body hair leaves me with the pimply bumps. They hurt like crazy and are ugly besides :( I've had good results with nair, in that it takes most of the hair off, but again with the bumps. Waxing for me!

I didn't mind the nair as far as ill effects. A little burning if I got it in the wrong places, but nothing serious. I just didn't find it to be as effective as it was supposed to be. I'm for waxing, or preferably, laser/electrolysis when I can afford it.

Nair burns me too! (and I'm seeing a trend it seems from the other responses) For my face I shave and apply quite a bit of makeup. Still isn't perfect. Armpits are no issue, those shave very well. As for legs though, I shave but don't get the best results. If the hair is short (which it will be with regular shaving), it usually leaves a visible shadow like the face does. If I let the hair grow out to its max and then shave it (this of course takes forever), it shaves perfectly with no shadow or bumps. I deem this as not fair that natal women have less of a problem with hair management and demand that evolution rebalance this situation for us!

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.
