I have seriously thought about buying an epilator and wanted some advice on which one is the best out there right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Sarah......

There is no such thing!

Epilators are EVIL...!

Like a vicious Tasmanian Devil munching your hairs outta your skin with dull teeth at supersonic speed...

You've been warned!

I have a braun silk epil xelle 5570, which seems pretty good but it's my first so I don't have any comparison. the ones with ice packs are supposed to be less painful but I haven't tried.

More tweezers will make hair removal fast, but fewer in the same size device will make it less painful. However most of the ones with say only 10 tweezers that I've seen just have a smaller head.

I have the Braun 5270 and while I will agree with DJ that they are evil, but so is stubble. You really need to be brave when attacking certain parts of you body, especially the middle of your chest where the hair tends to be grouped more tightly. The legs get easier over time, but the chest/torso never seems to get easier at all. However, it takes a while to grow back, your skin will be much smoother than shaved once the red bumps go away and it takes a good while for hair to return and when it does it is not itchy stubble.

So, yes, evil. But if you don't mind a little pain every now and again, it's a good device.

Sarah,

Don't be fooled - a little pain?

I did not know about Lizzy's sadistic streak until she came after me with one of those things!

OUCH!

Remember Donna Jean says they are evil and hurt - she has three hour electrolysis sessions - you figure it out!

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure which was worse, laser or epilator. Both are evil and hurt. But I am kind of a pain junkie, so epilators are small on the scale of really painful things...

But you did make me laugh a lot out loud, Sally :D :D :D Thanks!!!

Hi Sarah

I have an Emjoi Optima, I got mine at Drugstore.com . I love mine, it was well worth the $70 I spent and it came with a shaver attachment. :D Do try to stay away from the battery powered ones, I heard that they lack power which makes it more painful the first few times you use it.

For me it only hurt for the first three times I used it, after that I learned to use it right after getting out of the shower and use lotion the day before to help soften the skin. This will help a great deal. ;)

I also have the braun silk epil xelle 5270 which is my first and only and I totally recommend it, as it has a light! This to me is vital, if it doesn't have a light then forget about it, if just the light broke on mine I'd go and replace it that's how much I need a light!!!!!!! Without is like driving a car at night with o headlights on.. you need to see that peach fuzz you just missed!!!

But yeah like everyone's more or less said they're less painful with time and some parts of the body don't hurt at all and other parts just take longer to get used to.. but it's all still bearable.

So yeah it is oh so worth it and when you see and FEEL the results you'll be coming back for more without a second thought!! ^_^

Viv, it is just for my chest, belly and in the future my legs and arms. I am having laser done on my face to remove that hair. I just can't afford the rest right now and hopefully HRT will help with the rest.

Sarah,

I just want to let you know as well as everyone reading this - do not spend any money on having body hair lasered or electro anywhere but your face until you have been on HRT for well over a year - I am approaching 6 months and the amount of body hair is less than half what it was before I started - why suffer through and pay for removing hairs that are just going away by themselves.

love ya,

Sally

One tip for you. After you've epilated there ofr the first time, wash the whole area with clearsil (or clean and clear etc) then towel it off and go over it with toner. This will greatly reduce the amount of spots that break out afterwards.

you'll still get some because you're ripping all your pores right open and you still secrete oil for a while until it gets used to there not being hair there.

Oh and then you need to exfoliate, very regularly, to keep ingrowing hairs to a minimum, rather than use an exfoliant, i just use a pair of exfoliating gloves while i'm in the shower and srub myself down real good with some shower gel.

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
