Comment on Body shaving for ladies?

  How bad was it, really? I’ve pulled plenty of individual hairs out with tweezers; some made my eyes water. If I were going to use an Epilady, I’d douse the area with numbing cream and go at it. It can’t be worse than waxing or tweezing, can it?

  Am a guy, so my experience in this specific scenario is limited.

  If Epilady is not acceptable, even with serious numbing, then I’d try the Cyperus Rotundus. The NIH report looked promising.

    Imagine the pain of pulling an individual hair, then multiply that by dozens because it rips out dozens (or more) at a time.

    I seriously doubt that any kind of numbing cream short of a full anesthetic would save you from the pain.

      Good thing women have a higher tolerance for pain. Or so I’ve heard.

      I don’t know. Women put up with a lot of painful stuff; threading doesn’t look like any fun, either. I guess it just depends on the individual.

      For those not willing to do that, the Cyperus Rotundus oil looks encouraging.

        People like threading because it’s far less painful and more accurate than waxing.
