Ladies only - Hair removal

Tweet

Hi. I just wanted to know if other ladies have tried many different hair removal products/procedures and what they found worked the best for them. I have very coarse hair, except on my head (which is very fine, flyaway) and have found that the chemical type hair removers just don't work. I can't seem to leave it on my skin long enough to dissolve the hair - this stuff is so harsh, it burns my skin before dissolving the hair. I have tried electrolysis, and it just grows back - are you supposed to continue treatments forever? A lady I used to work for had it done on her upper lip frequently and it caused her a lot of pain. Is this normal? I have recently tried Velvet Touch hair remover pads - which is basically like a fine grain sandpaper (don't push too hard!). It works okay, but my skin is really itchy for days after, even using a good moisturizer. They also have little pads that you can use on your face that work pretty good. I have also tried waxing (YOUCH!!!). This is horrible and painful, and I just can't imagine doing my bikini line like that! So basically, I shave my underarms, use the Velvet Touch on my legs and face, and a moustache trimmer on my bikini line (don't laugh, it works!). I have tried shaving my bikini line and just end up with sore red bumps that drive you crazy with itching! What do you do?
