Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

We're expected to prune and style a lot of our body hair. What do you do?

If you don’t mind me asking, how many sessions did you have? For some people it takes more to fully remove the hair.

Epilators are noisy but they hurt less than waxing. Mine has a light on it that’s helpful for spotting hairs I missed. They can’t cut you, although if you run them over folded skin they might pinch a little.

Electrolysis would be even better but it’s very expensive. I heard it’s usually done on smaller patches of hair. Full leg, bikini, and armpits would be a lot.

That was awhile back, it's a little fuzzy now, but I want to say 10 total sessions? This was just face and front torso, ideal light skin very dark hair mix, maybe 70-80% gone face 95% torso? I'm not unhappy with the results, except that I paid way too much!

I was going to do another round of sessions but the pandemic quarantines just started and life got in the way after that 😅
