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.

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,

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!

      I personally don't understand how wearing panties is comfortable for much of anybody.  I'm AFAB, but there's just too much naturally, um...down there....for panties to be comfortable.  Consequences of being intersex, I guess.  I'd suggests some slightly-looser shorts instead.  There are some that are marketed to women, but have a kind of androgynous look to them.  Wish I knew a brand name, but I could ask my friends.  Both of my trans friends are non-op, so they have no doubt experienced how you're feeling.   Ugh... I get really irritable when GF keeps trying to put me back in female underwear because she says I "look pretty" that way.  I never thought I looked pretty that way or any other way, and the pinching/pulling/chafing combined with the overly-noticeable outlines of....stuff.... just makes it no-go for me.  Last time she approached me with an underwear item, I warned her she was going to get bit.

      I don't think so.  People may disagree with me, but I don't believe there's such a thing as "gay culture," "trans culture," "White culture," "Hispanic culture," or similar terms because those are really big umbrellas.    My background is Greek, and I live in the Mid-South part of the USA.  I share some of my trans-ness with my trans friends, and some aspects of our backgrounds and beliefs are similar.  But honestly, its impossible for me and the average trans person from California to agree on much of anything past the color of an orange and the fact that we don't quite fit in our bodies.

      Just heard from surgeon. Surgery successful and she's awake and resting well. Spleen was large about only about 100ml blood loss, probably all from bleeding into the mass & not from any rupturing. Dr didn't see anything else worrying except a liver nodule which she biopsied although she suspects the nodule is just age-related. She's anemic but they're holding off on blood transfusion for now bc they believe she'll recover naturally. About a week to get biopsy report. And Dr said if she continues to do as well as she has so far, she may be able to come home tomorrow. So best news possible so far. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

      Well she did choose me in the end not him. Just frustrated that it was so hard to get her to do that.

      I am sorry to hear that your friend turned out to not be a friend at all.  But that is the bottom line: she is not a friend.  She has chosen to ally herself with him and he is toxic to be around.
    • Vidanjali
      Please pray for my precious baby lady, my Siberian husky, who is having emergency surgery this afternoon to remove her spleen and a large mass attached to it. May the surgery be successful and uncomplicated, recovery be swift and easy, and pathology be benign. She is our sunshine girl.

      I decided to post here in the "other faiths" forum to declare this thread non-denominational and inclusive of all faiths, creeds, philosophies, etc. I thought it would be beneficial for our community to have a thread where we could reach out with requests for prayers, thoughts, intentions, or however individuals understand the sending of good vibes. So feel free to post here. Whether or not you get direct responses to your request, know it's been received, read, and honored. And may peace and ease be yours.

      Hi, you can be a trans man and be agender aswell. I know it seems like a contradiction, but I see myself as non binary and I'm accepting myself as a trans man also. You could be called trans masculinine also. If you like trans man the best though, go for it. You can be a GNC trans man.  Have you heard of gender fluid? Not saying this is you, but it does relate to what you say. Sometimes you seem genderless, more agender and sometimes more masculine. I also see myself as a bit genderfluid, but only for the masc genders. I never wear anything fem so would never consider myself a fem boy. I used to think I was , non binary, then a demi man, trans masc,  trans man. I can't pin a label to what I am. My counsellor said I may be genderfluid, but a very masc genderfluid person. I love that you hate societal gender roles, I do too! I dress like a stereotypical guy because that's my style anyway, but I won't change my hobbies or personality to suit what a "man" is.

      @Lydia_R   I seem to recall my mother making us cream of wheat or Quaker rolled oats in the wintertime. I don’t know about “old fashion” or “steel cut”. Now I preferred either with sugar and or berries and the cream of wheat with some milk.  I believe my older sister liked her’s with maple syrup.   as far as a “larger culture”. I think you will find that even though we all support each other there is no singular culture.  There are conservative values shared here and there are very radical everyone for the cause and rights.  I like to think that I am someplace in the middle.  No, I don’t go to Pride events nor transgender day of remembrance .  I don’t go to clubs or bars where others hang out.  I do try to hold council with others that need someone to talk to or a hug, or if I know of a group that might be helpful or a doctor, I will pass that on.  But yes I am out of the closet, go to work and church and do everything as a woman.  The male side of me is gone.   i get asked personal questions sometimes and while I neither get mad that what they are asking is too personal, I also don’t speak out oh yes ive done this or that or plan to do this or that.  I leave it with I've done everything I intend to do, or I didn’t figure this out until I was 68 years old because I knew nothing about what being transgender was. You have those that were kicked out of their home, I wasn’t, those that got divorced, I didn’t and those that have to put up with others who refuse to accept your gender, your rights to be who you are, and that I do get every day.   so is there a representative culture for being transgender?  Tell me I’m wrong, but I don’t think so I think we are a suppress percentage of the population that are getting braver but who get trampled all the time.   Willow

      Hi Ashley,   Thank you so much the reply !!!   That makes total sense with trusting the process and knowing that it’s not a sprint but rather like a marathon like you were saying.    So far so good with the Spiro 2 days in. Other than peeing a lot lol. But, no other noticeable side effects which I’m happy to report. However, I am MUCH happier that I’ve started at least somewhere. Gender Dysphoria symptoms are VERY real and starting treatment has made me SO much happier.   But, I will definitely look into the other options for E as you mentioned as there are definitely other options to consider other than the systemic route, thank you!!    p.s also trust in the process yourself and don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re a beautiful girl inside and out no matter what. “Patience is a virtue” is a proverb I’ve always lived by.   Much love girly 😊❤️
