I will never wax my armpits again.

[danischi24]

I have very occasionally waxed my underarms but only every few years when I forget how much it hurts. I'm then reminded for a few more years. The worst was when my lazer therapist sister tried to lazer them. She got one & that was that. I walked around with one hairy pit & shaved only one for months!
Now I use an Epilator or razor & while the Epi is't much fun, I can handle it by distracting myself.

You can say That, again! For years I had my pits, eyebrows, legs, pantie area done...but, by my friend. She owned a salon and it was Free! It hurt the 1st few time, but after that only stinging. I've done the Nads and never again! The stuff is way tooooo thick and that equals pain!

Have you ever been Threaded? It's an ancient technique. I've had my eyebrows done and aside from the fact she made them too thin, It looked nice. It does sting a bit, but she must put witchhazel on and a conditioner...that helped!

Well my friend I've gotta tell you that most modern men now shave and groom a LOT more than their faces. I'll just leave it at that, for now.

We call that "manscaping".

LOL.

I had the bright idea to try to use an electric shaver on my armpits once. Once.

For the record... an electric razor will cut not only hair but will also pull up delicate skin and hack that all up too. I couldn't feel it immediately.... but it looked like I got attacked by an underarm weedwhip.

I know a guy that used his electric shaver to shave before his vasectomy. He had the same weed-eater attack results that I did... only in a much different place.

Never tried the waxing thing.

...okay, this is kind of off-topic but this thread brought up this memory.

For a wedding, I had to wear a bridesmaid's dress that was strapless. Having no decent strapless bra, my friend told me to do what they were all doing ......to just tape up the 'girls'. She explained the proper placement of tape and whatnot and assured me that this worked well. Well being the tomboy that I am.... the day arrives and all I have for tape (other than some wimpy scotch tape) is duct tape. Duct tape holds well. During the wedding and reception I had absolutely no 'wardrobe malfunctions' and I was kind of impressed with the tactic.

.....until I had to remove the tape. I got it off. Eventually. It actually took the outer layer of my skin with it. Ouch. Looked like I tried to sand parts of my breasts off. Felt like it too.

I tried the duct tape thing, didn't work at all.

Maybe the strapless WITH the duct tape will work...HMMM...
