Hello everyone. I hope i am not going to get dogged on for this, I am at the breaking point for my facial hair. it has got to go. since i have waaay more time than money i ordered a clean and easy home electrolysis unit because It is Absolutely ALL we can afford. Going for laser or pro electrolysis is impossible right now. so, when this is your only choice you have, you go for it. It does work. I have the time, am Highly motivated, I do not care that it's tedious work; better than this hair. I will let everyone know how it goes. it will be here tomorrow..

It most likely will work. The only trick is finding the right setting. Too low and it won't work. Too high and you'll get burns that could lead to scarring. It's a good thing you have the time. It's going to be a long and tedious process. Good luck.

Nikki!

GOOD LUCK!!!! You consider getting some dental numbing creme - it works well on the lips also (that is what my electrolysis uses when she worked that area. And please be careful, you do not want hurt that that complection you have. Maybe start at a low setting and work from there. Sometimes itis better to zap it a couple times with a low then one time with a higher one - it is also less painful. And make certain you have plenty of ice packs on hand to keep the swelling down.

Afterwards, it is a good idea to use an anti-bacteral on the area you just finished so that it will heal faster with less chance of further complications , like scarring. Most importantly, PLEASE BE PATIENT. Working with a professional can take a year or to complete, and doing it yourself will probably take longer. There are serveral good sources on line that explain the proscess. One is in THE TS ROADMAP that is available here on Laura's site.

AGAIN GOOD LUCK!!! Many hugs and best wishes on your success!

Good luck with that road you are traveling down. I have started the HPL or home pulsed light technology for permanent hair removal. This is an FDA and Canadian FDA approved device for hair removal that is almost painless, you do feel a touch of heat when the device fires a flash of light. It recharges in seconds and you move on. I cannot report results yet as I am into my second go round. As a professional beach bum, I am too tan right now to try this on my face, according to directions. I have used this where the sun does not shine and upper thighs. But am still shaving as well. It works best on dark hair, blondies might not get help here. Will report any positves/negatives when I can. I got mine at Amazon. http://www.silkn.com/flash-and-go/

Hello everyone, Well, I thought i would give a little feedback to my experience thus far with the clean and easy home electrylosis unit. MY experience has been positive so far. I have cleared my upper lip about 95% so far.Zero starring, redness always clears pretty quickly, The hair thus far HAS Not grown back, I started with a smaller area on my upper lip this past July, It never grew back. Now i have about cleared my entire upper lip. It is time consuming, but, I really enjoy using it. It is alot of fun! does hurt a little. I use it on setting 4, for about 15-20seconds, the hair comes out efortlessly. So far I Love it! and give it ***** stars!!

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @violet r   I think we all were scared with our first post here on TPF. I hope you come to find this site as welcoming as an old friend. Not knowing the type of retail you're in, it is hard to know how they will react to your coming out. I would hope that if it's part of a larger corporation they may have corporate policies supporting/protecting you once you decide to come out publicly. No one here will rush you, or try to slow you down, once you've decided to come out. Some of us are secret sisters, and others of us are as flamboyant as they come. The cool this is you get to choose. You be you.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome aboard, Violet. What a pretty name!   You are among friends here. We are all on a journey, with things in common despite our individual uniqueness. I hope that makes sense!

      Oh Yes!   This one is so obvious to anyone who has had a cat and observed any Big Cat.

      Welcome Violet.  It's been awhile since i found this space with so many who understand the struggle to simply be ourselves in a society that often disapproves,  It isn't an easy path but being together we can share all the bumps and the joys. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm sorry it didn't work out for the new job. Nothing to keep you from being on the search. I had a coworker who used to walk out of the locker room saying; "I was looking for a job with I found this one and I'll keep searching for the next one. Never let them think you're comfortable and settled."   The coffee has just finished brewing, and we have a HVAC technician coming in about 30 minutes to do an annual system check.   It's time to get out of my Pj's.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.
