Hair removal down there

[kelly_aus]

This is one of the hardest parts of the transition - getting rid of body hair from every single little inch of your body.  How the ->-bleeped-<- do you get rid of the hair that is literally in the crease of your ass?   

This is one of the things that many MTF's take way too far in my opinion.. My gyno tells me that, except for 1 or 2 places, I know have fairly normal body hair for a woman. ie a very fine and fairly sparse covering of vellus hairs.. Women are not completely hairless.. All I've done to achieve that is wax it a few times and take my hormones..

Everyone's pain level is different.

Before I got professionally waxed, I also watched YouTube videos (and "40 year old virgin")...seems to me many of them were excessive in their reactions.

Just in case, though, I got a DIY waxing kit and did my legs...the pain, for me, was totally bearable (no pun intended). At the salon, I handled the entire upper body (front and back, and arms) without so much as a whimper. The tech tells me that some do, some don't handle the pain.

Don't drink any caffeine products before going in...take 1-2 Ibuprofen an hour before going (it numbs the pain receptors), trim hairs to about 1/2" (12mm) as long hair will need to be trimmed anyway.

My pubic mound has done very well after a handful of laser sessions, I'm still shaving the underneath/back bits.
