I did something kind of stupid

So I have been unfortunately cursed with stupid amounts of body hair and yesterday I tried to shave my chest and abdomen (albeit poorly), it made me feel mentaly happy but physicaly uncomfortable because of all the little stubblies pulling on my shirt fabric. :/ I still feel happy about it but it's such a mixed feeling of comfort and discomfort.

Ah yes, that stubble regrowth can be really uncomfortable at times x_____x But it is a very nice feeling getting rid of the hair :3.

A quick google offers little, but that it may be worthwhile getting an undershirt.

I want to let you in on a secret :)

The more you shave, the easier it gets. Over time, you will finding yourself shaving less and less because your hair will not grow back as fast. Keep on top of shaving. You will know what I mean.

Love.

my hair is still too thick to have most of the time so I know how you feel... the last time I shaved my legs was over two months ago and I am still dealing with bad ingrown hairs and red spots all over my legs though I dont seem to have that problem on my chest. So right now I just wear jeans all the time.

P.S. have you tried veet? it seems to be a bit better than shaving for me but it only works well on my arms for some reason... sigh hair its the bane of my existence lol. Hope you find something that works... I recently picked up a sensepil ipl machine but still havent gotten a chance to really give it a shot Im hoping to write a review for it at some point.

Hey all! So thanks for all the tips it was totally a "I am passionatly angry" sort of thing with an electric clipper. I also have 'shudder' back hair, and no idea how to safely remove it myself.

I heard waxing works better,

Not that i would or will ever know, I can take a lot of pain but waxing........no. Though I knew a lot of women who did and in more painful places to boot. There is also sugaring and buffing and if your skin is not sensitive some hair removal products for short term.

Whatever you decide I wish you all the best with it, One of the joys of my life now is not shaving below the neck anymore.:D

I so love Estrogen HRT. Today was the first time shaving my chest and abdomen in two months. Because I wear an insulin pump and the plastic canulas have stick on tape, for years I had to remove body hair so the tape would stick and it would come off without pulling hair. Now my body hair is almost non existent or very, very thin. And body hair grows really slow.

Too bad it doesn't work on facial hair that way. sighhhhh..... I so do not enjoy electrolysis, but I'm in it for the long haul. I'm too blond for laser hair removal. Kathryn

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."

      I've been looking forward to the legitimate medical groups coming out strongly against Cass' biased and one sided report, so I'm really glad to see the article you posted, @Davie.  Unfortunately, it won't get nearly the coverage that Cass has gotten.  She has done her dirty work.  Hopefully the pushback and investigative reports on her and her support network will result in her work being shown for what it is.  She is a fraud, and sooner or later all frauds are found out.   Carolyn Marie

      CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica!!  That's really BIG! I myself did not experience a huge emotional roller coaster.  It was more like a smooth slide into emotional comfort.  The biggest effect I felt is when my Dr put me on T-blockers first.  I felt a bit 'empty' for a couple of months, but then realized it was just because the 'T-monster' was no longer running around inside of me.  Then I felt it was my new 'normal'. I feel like the estradiol was the 'frosting' on my transition affirmation.  It's been only positives.  I do cry a lot more, but it's only because I finally feel free to allow my emotions to come out.  To me it's not 'hormonal' ... it's FREEDOM!   Everybody is different but it sounds like you are under great care.  I hope you have a beautiful first year in transition on HRT (keep us updated if you can).
