Bought An Epilator

[Guest sarah f]

Well I broke down and bought an epilator yesterday. 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

[Sally]

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.

Hey, Sarah.......

Hey, have a look at the new tattoo on my arm.......

"LIZZY, GET AWAY FROM ME WITH THAT THING!"

Pretty cool, eh?

You are too funny Dee Jay. 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

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!
