Comment on Body shaving for ladies?
EleventhHour@lemmy.world 1 month agoImagine 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.

Isn’t it the same thing as tweezing? Pulling the hair out by the roots? Waxing is partially painful because you’re also irritating and pulling on the skin. It would seem that threading is closer to one of those rolling tweezers.
I guess my question is: if they’re both grabbing the hair at the base and yanking it out with the follicle, why is threading less painful?

Waxing also pulls off skin
