So just to give you all a laugh to start the day, I have allowed my beard to grow for a couple of days as I want to epilate it instead of shaving on a daily basis!
Ow, ow ow, burger it, it hurts!
I may go back to shaving!!

I got mine threaded yesterday...that was ow as well

Hester I think I've read that an epilator discourages regrowth, in which case the ouch factor may well be worth it I remember my DD2 when she still lived at home, doing her underarms and going OWW!

TiredTrophy Threading it certainly doesn't sound a lot of fun either!
I think you're both quite brave .

I've just ordered a gadget thats supposed to 'sandpaper' away facial hair. Will try to remember to let you know how I get on. At the moment my facial hair is very fine, any strong odd ones get plucked out.

And I hide from DH when doing this as I don't want him to think I'm turning into a man. Anyone else do this?

I remember once someone posted a pic of her dog caught red-handed, (so to speak ) with a strawberry between its teeth and looking extremely guilty :rotfl:
I think it was on the Daily thread, years ago.

Lol Bonnie doesn't have an ounce of guilt in her body :rotfl:

I got fed up of suddenly seeing stubble glinting along my top lip, on these sunny days. I bought a travel razor, battery operated, small and really quick to use, er, most mornings! Can't use dipalitory cream 'cos I allergic. Luckily I wear trousers for work so only shave legs once a week unless on hols in sunny climate .

I have used an epilator on my legs and under arms for a number of years now. I remember the pain being really bad to start with and now it doesn't hurt at all, and there are hardly any hairs growing now.


I use wax strips on my top lip, but am thinking of using the epilator when I run out of the wax strips to save money, I'm also hopeful that using the epilator will slowly stop the growth.
