Comment on Body shaving for ladies?
sxan@midwest.social 1 month agoGood 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

Right! So, threading is less painful than waxing, and it’s clear why, but why is it less painful than those Epilady-style tweezing? Isn’t it doing the same thing?
You wouldn’t use an Epilady on your brows, probably. It seems like too inaccurate a tool; and maybe brows are less sensitive than groin-area skin. So, apples and oranges.
Does anyone even offer Brazilian threading?
