Question fot the Ladies



Recommended Posts

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! :)

Okay, so you can get it at a lot of places but the cheapest place to find it online is a site called www.cheaplubes.com of you want to find it in person, look for an upscale adult boutique. It's meant for shaving your private areas so is found at places like that. That site is also the cheapest place to find lubes by far! Try it out and see what you think!

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*

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. ;)

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! :D

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?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
