Oh Joey,

I am not a weenie. I am going to be very brave and epilate my underarms tonight!  >:-)

If you never hear from me again, well, then I suppose I either did not survive the torture, or I am still busy running to who knows where, whilst feeling very sorry for myself for not listening to the other girls. :-\

Plumb crazy! Unless you got elephant skin! I'm cringing just at the THOUGHT of it!

You got that one right honey! But you will live to tell the tale... :-)
It's the same in the soft pubic area(s), been there and suffered the consequences... saving grace might be the very narrow e.g. BROWN epilator head meant for 'bikini' area... grrrr

Girl, I hope you will be just fine after it all - yet as always, YMMV :-)

Axelle, you should know by now that I am totally nuts!! :laugh:

The pubic area is next, IF I survive the underarm episode! :-\

Honey,
nuts or not... you make my balls cringe... even though they long GONE.

In any case I'll hold thumbs all will be fine. I do remember some 2 years ago the sheer determination to get rid of all my 'fur'...

Determination is key and you sound determined. Good for you! :-)

After all, giving birth, having a baby, will be worse I'm quite sure.
Live to tell the tale...

What are South Africans made from?  ...... You wouldn't dare; with an Epilator ..... surely??

Well .... if you choose to go that way, make sure you let me know when. I'd like to be wearing ear muffs at the time. You know, you've now made it an OH&S issue. Excessive workplace screaming, (noise)

Here's hoping, be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs  (and skin repair cream)

I touched the epilator down there once when I got the idea in my head that I would do that area. It grabbed a couple of hairs and that was that. Shaving is fine in that place.

Epilating underarms...... this WILL hurt the first time(s)  :(

KEEP THE SKIN TAUGHT   so that you get a simple pluck...... if the skin can pull loosely with the hair then it hurts a lot worse

Why am I starting to get worried? LOL

Okay, as promised, the update on the underarm epilation!

I did it! It did not hurt at all!

I'm lying!!! ::) It was excrutiating!! It made my eyes water. Didn't you all hear me screaming like a little girl? :'(

Will I do it again? You bet! Love the smooth underarms. :laugh:

Will I do the "down there" area? Hell, no!!

Why? Isn't epilation pain for sharing? >:-)
Oh, and apologies to all who were woken by my screaming.  :embarrassed:

Maegan ? Is there something in the water over there that makes you all that way, or are we just a bunch of whimps here in Oz. By the way, you made it to the late edition if the Channel 9 news over here. That was awesome. There's a group of talent scouts on there way over from "Australia You've Got Talent." I think they want to sign you up.

Well, I'm off to my 'slow release labotomy' (Opps - sorry, Electrolysis) in the morning. Enjoy your masochism, be safe, well and happy

Lotsa huggs

I don't believe they sell them in retail stores o:
I've never seen one in my life at a store. And I've checked, trust me.
I ordered mine from Amazon, I use the Emjoi Emagine.

Damn! Getting stuff at the store makes returns less of a hassle. Anyone else know where they might sell epliators in stores?

About a year ago at Walmart I bought:

Remington Smooth and Silky Complete Epilator Kit
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Remington-Smooth-and-Silky-Complete-Epilator-Kit/14978540

I don't have a problem with it hurting, but if I do exclusive epilation on my legs I get ingrown hairs that just sit barely under the surface and you can see them, so I alternate between epilation and shaving/exfoliating to balance things out. I did try sugaring at home which was sorta fun but in terms of effectiveness, the epilator is the way for me. (no suga tonight)

I got mine at Target and I've seen them in pretty much every department store.

After the first month or so to get through the growth cycle, all of the hair that regrows is finer (except for the ones which snapped instead of plucked) so the pain level gets less.
Remember, the first time you ever plucked your eyebrows you probably wanted to yelp too.  It gets better.
Ingrown hair can be a problem - I scrub myself hard with an exfoliating glove.  Once the hair breaks out and is no longer ingrown, pluck it for quicker healing of any inflamed spot and use antiseptic cream.

My epilator is a wet/dry model and I find rinsing the head in alcohol after each use has dramatically reduced red spots and infected follicles.

Hi chrishoney,
I'm the wet model myself and I find rinsing my head with alcohol after ever use, dramatically increases my red nose and reduces over all pain as I become legless. :laugh: ...... not from the epilator. Although that could be partly responsible.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs

P.S.  Ohhh!! Beverley ..........

Also, I think many stores that have websites will have "online only" products on their web site, but still allow you to return in your local store. I've never done that myself, so I don't know how easy or complicated it is, but is another option that might not require shipping back a return. Just make sure you know the chain's return policy.
