Bought An Epilator

Well I broke down and bought an epilator yesterday. :D When I went to use it this morning, I found out you have to leave it on charge for 14 hours before use. :( I was all ready to try it and then it bursted my bubble. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow now.

Bummed,

Sarah F

trim the hair really short first! it's wants to be like 1mm long. it tends to take longer cos it picks less up at once but it's quite a lot less painful

Sara,

Please read what Sam had to say - it is very important - the hairs that Lizzy went after on me were almost two inches long and that little bugger got at least twenty at a time - covering almost 4 square inches of suddenly tender and throbbing flesh!

The shorter the better!

Love ya,

Sally

Like my therapist says - transitioning isn't for sissys!

Does that include epilators?

Yes - trim the hair - I use about 1/8 to 1/4 inch

DO NOT do your face!

Caution on under the arms (worst of all the pain)

Keep it clean! Also understand it DOES tend to spread the bacteria on your body! So proceed knowing that.

Keep it brushed clean - it works better - NO soap

They wear out fast if you overheat them by using them to much all at once - let them cool as you go

AND the results - FANTASTIC! Especially after the HRT kick in!

Hope this helps

Lizzy - epilator queen of the universe!

and when you're done wash the area with some sort of oil free anti spot stuff, I use clean n clear. then rinse the are with cold water. let it dry and wipe over it with toner. that should stop you getting a billion spots.

You are too funny Dee Jay. :lol: Maybe it hurt more because of the length of your hair Lizzy got you on. Got to try anyway and besides I hate stubble.

Love,

Well I finally got to try it out this weekend. Let me tell you that all of the horror storie that I have heard about them ended up not being like I was expecting. I did not think it was bad at all. It is no different than tweezing the hair yourself. It is just more hairs at one time. I can't tell you how good it feels to have the smooth skin and no stubble. I just hope it stays that way for at least a couple of weeks before I have to do it again.

Sally you need to try one with trimmed hair and not long chest hairs. It really is not that bad.

Love,

Sarah F

Sarah,

I thought you were my friend but then I thought Lizzy was my friend before she attacked me with one of those things - how can I trust you now?

You actually want me to use one of those again after my horrible experience at the hands of that sadist Lizzy?

Well I might consider it one day - but I am not going to buy one to try it!

Love ya,

Sally

I use an epilator :) . First time was great results, second time, less painfull and about the same, except I got some weird scabs. Third time I bled <_< . How ever, since then it has got a lot better. The only problem I get is ingrown hairs, but I guess I don't do any thing special to my legs to stop them yet. I do it once a week (step mother's are evil), but I think I really need to do it twice a week.

SEE!

After HRT kicks in - works soooo smoothly!

I don't have tha charger model - I do have one that works on 12 volt - so I dooo use it in the car sometimes (limited area of course)

AND you can order new 'heads' for that brand - cheaper than the whole unit! Go to the manufactures site.

And I get a months worth between use - on the legs now!

      Happy Monday!  The cycle of it all....

      I wonder about this sometimes.  If it were so, they would be in their 50's by now. It's not impossible.   Guess I'm a girl with a past.

      Just a casserole with macaroni and leftover hamburger.  It will last me a couple of days or more. I frequently use my wok, but in the kitchen.

      Funny thing.  When I went to school I was writing with my right hand (I'm right handed) but holding the pencil like a left handed person.  They made me change that, and to be sure it was better for me.  Of course my handwriting is still barely legible.  It's just a curious thing. I'm a kinda mixed up person.

      Bathroom usage law based on chromosomes is quite irrational. Just within the intersex community there are quite a few problems with it with those that have full or partial androgen insensitivity. For instance, I have XY chromosomes but also have a uterus and fallopian tubes. My breasts are real and I have had them since puberty. I was also born without a penis to speak of, but I do have testes.    I don't look like the average guy, and much less now that I don't hide my DDD's behind baggy layered clothes.    Physically I am much more female than male, but my birth certificate and chromosomes say something else.    I most definitely don't fit in the men's room. Last time I tried everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me until I left. I have used the family restroom in public ever since (all gender). The Texas law basically leaves only one choice for intersex individuals. Family restroom or pee your pants. 🙄

      I had a similar experience.  My father, doing geneological research, googled the name of the tiny hamlet in Scotland where his family came from.  He was surprised to find a request from someone in Australia wanting to find his birth mother.  The mother was named as my father's sister, from that same tiny hamlet.  There was no possibility of mistaken identity: there could not be two people of that name in such a small place.   The family knew that my aunt had had a child out of wedlock, but no one had kept track of the child.  And of course, the times being what they were, knowledge of the event was kept on a need-to-know basis.    My father contacted the person in Australia.  He gained a nephew and I gained a cousin that I never knew I had.  We kept in touch until my cousin passed away a few years ago.  I am still in occasional contact with his widow.

      I can relate to that, I started my oral estrogen back in 2017.. less than 6 months I was wearing jeans size 40, then afterward my hips started to curve so I can fit a jeans size 12 or 14.. my treating doctors suggested for me to take before and after pictures and show it to them during my next doctor's appointment.

      Good morning from the backyard patio,   Parker and I are outside enjoying the morning sounds of the day. It’s was filled with the beautiful sounds of birds, bugs and kids off at a distant playground. My coffee was hot, strong and black. This came crashing down as the Monday morning trash truck came into the neighborhood. We’re the first neighborhood for the trash route since a city ordinance keeps all commercial workers limited to a 07:00 start time. It was Parker’s first time experiencing this noise and physical vibrations as the operator slammed the articulated arm around picking up individual trash bins. Parker ran from the fence back to the patio swing looking back at the monstrous truck causing such a commotion. His head tilted, ears perked, and body language indicating curiosity.    My second cup of coffee is settling down as the birds return to singing their calls, and Parker ravages his toy rabbit.    Hugs and best wishes as you take on the week. Happy Monday!   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning @Adrianna Danielle   I’m glad you agreed to the paternity test.    My Uncle found himself in a similar situation and after the test he was faced with explaining his infidelity and one night stand to his wife and family. Not only did the test come back; “YOU ARE THE FATHER” she looked like a sister to the other children in his family. This was a “23 & Me” moment confirmed by an independent test. The most important reason for the young lady to search for her father, was medical history and peace of mind. The blessing of the test was her understanding and willingness to disappear into obscurity. That was not what my Uncle or his family wanted to happen. She was family and they wanted to know her and eventually love her as a family member. The next 4th of July family gathering, she was introduced to the rest of her extended family and I gained a cousin. My prayers for you as you navigate all the possibilities, and I hope it works out for everyone involved.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
