Question fot the Ladies



Recommended Posts

no razor stubble on your face because it HURTS... hello! the skin on my face gets shredded by stubble let alone the sensitive other areas your face could come in contact with!

beard, handlebars... whatever as long as it's soft but I'm never going to love it. chest hair... yum. excessive back hair could go. man-scaping is fine as long as you don't look more "done" than I do (my preference!).

I think it would freak me out to see a man waxed/shaved down south... just the thought of it is a little freaky...

My 2¢.

I keep my lawn mowed....... It makes the tree look bigger!!!...... Also I highly recommend waxing over shaving. I know, waxing doesn't sound very masculine, but it really is the best treatment.

I have my pits, scrotum, upper inner thighs (bikini area), & between the cheeks done. I'm not really an exceptionally hairy person. But if you happen to be, I'd also highly recommend having your back waxed as well.

It will hurt the first couple times, but the returning hair gets smaller & smaller, so each time you go it becomes less painful.

Another benefit of waxing is you only need to do it every 4-8 weeks. And no irritating stubble to deal with.

O T R: does the visual size matter or is it better on how well or deep it enters any of the 2-3 ports of entry???

It matters to us.

It's kinda like asking "does it matter how breasts look as long as they serve their function?".

I'm fine with trimming. Not crazy about the bald look.

Gotta rock the “Bro-Zilian”, crack, and back wax! I just will never admit that again if any of y'all run into me in public!

I prefer trimmed and not shaved. Shaved is fine if you keep it shaved but the stubble (sp?) really hurts me, so I told my husband to trim. I shave but tomorrow I'm getting a brazilian wax.

If you can afford it, I would totally go for laser hair removal...it's spendy and minorly painful but SO worth it. No more hair for me!! If anyone wants pricing info send me a message and I'll let you know what I paid for mine.

I wish that had worked for me! I paid a TON... Went for painful treatments every 6 weeks for almost 2 years. And still little to no result. Guess it doesn't work for everyone... But they don't tell you that when they take your money!!

Okay, I am not an especially hairy woman. I have decided to get brave and try a brazilian - I have never been waxed so I am scared...lol. anyway, it gives me courage that so many o f you have survived it. I hate shaving private parts because I am prone to those little bumps. I do trim though and being hairless "down there" makes me feel sexy so that is why I want to try the waxing. How often do you have to do it? Do you get the bumps like from shaving?

Now, preference for hair on men - I think it is a personal preference. Facial hair - controlled quantities are okay, but I really prefer clean shaven.

Chest/back etc - I am not necessarily attracted to super hairy guys, but I guess I see body hair as a masculine trait. If a guy was completely waxed I think I would find it weird... like some body hair is normal and masculine. I am not homophobic - so don't take this wrong - but I think of smooth chests and backs with gay porn stars - a strange comments since I have never watched gay porn..lol.. but that is the mental image I get.

Now, in private parts, my personal preference, trimmed if needed, but not shaved. Again, reference masculine/ porn star remark but more importantly is that stubble can be irritating and I don't want to be irritated. :) I am a very practical person.

Who did it? If you go somewhere reputable and have black coarse hair which they check for before they take your money at least they did for me then there is no reason for it not to work. I went to Ideal Image and after the first treatment I saw major results. I guess I've just never heard of their service not working for someone. They are expensive but RN's do your treatment and they are extremely trustworthy in my experience. I'm sorry you had a bad one!

As far as waxing and shaving your private areas, waxing hurts like heck but gets the job done without many bumps. If you buy the right razors and the right shaving cream it is very possible to shave without bumps. I suggest the shaving cream Coochy to both guys and girls, I won't shave any part of my body with anything else, it's amazing for both guys and girls. I use a Venus Embrace 5 blade and it's awesome, no cuts or bumps. Good luck!

I have had laser treatment on chin and upper lip hair. It worked GREAT, but I did like 6-8 treatments and two years later it is like I never did them - well, there are fewer hairs, but it is still an issue so it is not permanent for me and my hairs were dark on fair skin. I am hearing that others have similiar results - it is great as long as you keep doing painful expensive treatments. Waxing is sounding better since it seems like it is the same basic thing, hair quantity reduces, but you still need to keep doing it and it is cheaper for sure.

I might try coochy on some inner thigh/bikini area as that will be very telling if it helps. i have used other cremes intended for sensitive skin and it never helped... but hey, that was a few years ago so maybe things are better now. But, I must ask, where does one find a product called "Coochy" i never saw it at the local grocery store! :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
