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.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
