I was sleeved on Election Day at 322 lbs. Just weighed in at 276. I've rediscovered the wonderful world of S E X after many years of just "going through the motions". My how things have changed! It was brought to my attention that it is preferred by most women to have a 'clean' shaven man. Really? Why? I just don't get it. Unless there's a true purpose behind doing it, I just can't see myself doing that.

If you can afford it' date=' 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.[/quote']

I'm curious! And how many treatments did you need? Dies any come back?

Laser hair removal is too expensive but I'm going in Thursday to get electrolysis on my chin hair Unfortunately I've grown tired of plucking and need something that's proven to be very effective. Of course it's a long process but from what I read the laser doesn't work well on dark skin. I had my wax today and it was a lot more painful than I remembered but she was very quick and nice.I always feel so insecure about my vag area, even though I've never had any complaints. It still feels weird having someone down there lol. *Drinking wine*

I have had laser treatment on chin and upper lip hair. It worked GREAT' date=' 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! [/quote']

Coochy is sold by Pure Romance. You can order at a party or by going to www.pureromance.com

Coochy cream is just about the same consistency of conditioner. I find that works just as well and is a lot less expensive lol!

I wouldn't get it from Pure Romance, they charge double what other places charge for a smaller amount. My friends just give me cash and I make a huge order online..so so so much cheaper!

Just buy CHEAP hair conditioner! It's works just as well, it's MUCH less expensive and you don't get embarrassed if your stepdad sees it in your shower.

Imma try the hair conditioner, that's a good idea

I think I'm in the minority here... I like it au naturel, & not afraid to use my hands to hold back a few strays here & there. Better than stubble burn on my face... ;} Only requirement...gotta be clean--& air dried!! No lint or schmegma, please!! Haha

Guess I'm in the minority with you, girl! LOL

One of the pluses of being in a long-term relationship I guess...at the end of the day all I care is it's clean. Love my fuzzy bear!

Try using Shave Secret from Walmart. It gets my boys nice and smooth with no rash or bumps.

Okay, we have totally taken over this topic...lol... I experimented with using a very rich conditioner on Sunday. Today, Wednesday and I do have a few small bumps, but not bad. I am still thinking about waxing in the future though, there isn't really enough regrowth to shave after 3 days, but it is not smooth smooth smooth either - thinking that waxing will keep the smooth feeling alot longer.

Yes, it will. Plus the regrowth will be finer, ad won't have the blunt tip that shaving produces. So it won't feel like stubble.

Getting graphic here but I decided not to do the wax because it's like 60 bucks around here. EEK! Why couldn't Santa bring me a gift card. So i'm going back to shaving. I'm thinking of just shaving the bikini line and trimming the rest. Do you girls shave between your legs? I don't usually get razor bumps there so it's mainly the mons area where I get bumps. Anyway! Hopefully not TMI or too personal questions.

I totally can't commit to waxing for financial reasons and just a pain having to go every few weeks to get waxed again. I use the shick quarto that has a razor along with mini shaving clippers perfect for the bikini area. I recently bought that and now it's the only thing I use. I also can shave nicely on the upper legs/thighs with no problems. Hope this helps.

I'm nervous about the idea of getting a Brazilian wax or even a bikini wax. Once I get my weight under control that is... Is it worth it? How long does it last typically?

Personal preferences. I have found that shaving with a good conditioner works well. Use an alcohol rub down to fight bacteria that builds in shower stalls also helps. Burns momentarily. Then put on a good moisturizer after. Helps to keep the bumps at bay
