Is it ok if I use electric razors? I got like 20 cuts from reg razors now I'm totally like TERRIFIED of them... If I use electric razors will my hair grow out faster or thicker? and is it good enough so that my legs would be nice and smooth? XD

Sure...an electric razor would be just fine and there are some nice women's electric razors available.

The thing is, though.....probably the very first time ...you'll have to shave the hair off because most electrics can't shave long hairs.

But a haircut type trimmer would work great for the first time...then an electric razor from then on out!

HUGGS!

Never ever worry that hair will grow faster or thicker, regardless of the method you use. Thickness of hair and the speed it grows are both controlled by genetics and hormones. Certain medical conditions can affect hair growth, as can hormonal medications, but shaving never will, and that's a fact ^_^.

After I shave it's like a lil spiky so its like ew T.T Is there a way to make it REALLY smooth? T.T

Yep. Wax. Plus it lasts ages longer than shaving or depilatories. Or you could try an epilator, that's pretty much like waxing. In either case, you're ripping the hair out at the root, so same results :)

I wax my bikini line, but I think I'm going to start waxing all over. The only reason I haven't yet, is I'm too impatient to let it grow back long enough for the wax to be effective. It hurts, but it's worth it.

Some women's shavers have trimmers built in them to knock down the long hairs. But if you really want to do them in get yourself an Epilator which plucks the hair out at the roots, it hurts a little at first but once you've used them a couple of times. But the more you use it the lighter and thinner your hair becomes. you'll find your skin allot smother too for allot longer than shaving.

Take Care

Yaaaa but like my parents dont know that I'm even shaving -_-"" and I dunno how 2 wax so like yaa >.>""

Instructions are on the box ;)

Pick a day when they won't be around, use the premade wax strips so there's no mess, and get it all buried under the trash before they come home :D

I am not endorsing any products here but I have heard wonderful things about a line of razors (men's and women's) from Panasonic that are immersible - designed for use in the shower.

They are supposed to do a good job, feel very comfortable and leave your skin smooth.

That's what I have heard but I am unsure of the price.

As to waxing and epilators - that is up to you and your pain tolerance!

Love ya,

Sally

I don't have the time to faff about with waxing, and it hurts too much and I always end up looking red and sore and like a plucked chicken. It's not worth the pain, time and expense for a week.. and did I mention the pain? Then there is the fact of having bad bristles for 3 or 4 days waiting for it to get long enough to wax again.. nah.. so I just use a decent womens razor and blitz it all every other day. Takes me about 10 minutes to do everything.. all over..

Cuts are purely inexperience... My ex used to get me to shave her legs on the reasoning after years shaving my face twice a day every day I had the skillz :) I can manage in the dark and I don't even have to look any more. I know where everything is... you can have that skill too.. with practise.

Guest i is Sam :-)

my hair is so dark that like shaving my arms was terrible cos i just looked like i was covered in little black dots. my legs look ok shaved and i really enjoy shaving my legs. but I bought an epilator and gave it a go.

some places it's not too bad, some places it really frigging hurts, and my tolerence seems to change from day to day, and time of day. i managed all of my arms and almost all of my legs in the end it took about 5 days in total doing it in short sessions, but i couldn't manage the bit on the back of my right thigh i dunno why more there than anywhere else, but geeze it was too much i was getting so apprehensive with the natsy snarling thing trying to move it toward my leg then stopping. in the end i gave up and went over that bit with my electric razor, i'll try again, in a few days, if i do it when it's shorter it'll probably catch fewer hairs at once thus will hurt less. Oh and i couldn't go over my knees with it, cos it was like just smacking your bone with the wheel. but i could wax those.

you barely feel it at all tho if you use it every day for maintenence.

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
