This was just a question I was curious about, I was wondering if using a product like nair would be effective for M2F to use for leg hair/arm hair? Or will I have to get hair removal on that as well as my face

hrt mostly takes care of that

Nair or Veet can be used, but there a the chemical burns to worry about. 

Razors or Epilators are the best.  Wax is next.  All painful at first.

I tried nair on my legs, and it mostly worked, but after a day I got these little red spots where the hair follicles were so I stopped that idea.  Now I'm using an epilator thing:

It's semi-expensive, but bound to cost way less than all the other products (more nair, more razors) etc you would buy otherwise, and the result is total smoothness.  It's also really not that painful.  To me it's almost painful in a good way.

I was looking at alot of those epilators, I found one called the no!no! that uses heat or something, but it was like $120.

I use Veet for both my arms and legs. The red spots are reactions to the acid in the cream that disolve the hair. I also got them at first, now that my skins used to it, its not a problem any longer.

NAIR, VEET and the supermarket versions are ok, messy and smelly and time consuming and also very short term solutions.

I currently use an epilator. Tremendously painful at first but not a bother now and the results last much longer.  Now that I am on HRT, I was told to expect hair to not grow as much if at all in time.

My main problem is facial hair, very wirey, thick and stubborn. Mostly white or without colour with a few dark hairs, laser was considered pointless.  I rely upon HRT, tweezers  and prayer to deal with this little probem.

I haven't tried NoNo yet, but I have used every other hair removal method--including electrolysis, which usually does the trick (if you play your cards right.)

I've used:
Nair (works pretty good)
Surgi Wax (works pretty good, but not 100%)
Moom (works--only problem is tempting to eat the sugar-wax)
Nads (works--only problem is tempting to eat the sugar-wax)
Epilating (good, but painful)
Traditional Shaving (works initially, but fails miserably)

Go in for professional waxings. It is like $75-$100 per shot. You only need it about once every two months. Between the hormones & removing the hair folicles from the roots, you will find it will thin out enough to look natural for a women.

I didn't find the epilator to be very painful at all, except a bit on the knees and when I tried to go for the groin area.

I like the GiGi microwave wax. works well and didn't hurt as much as I expected. It does take a little practice to get the temp. and spreading technique down. But once you've learned it, it becomes easy 

My skin is too sensitive for Nair or other Chemi stuff. Chemical burns are no fun

My mother told me how she and her sisters would hold their arms over the cook stove to singe the hair off. But myself, for a long time I used bleach on my arm hair. Now with HRT I do nothing.

I am a few weeks into HRT now and tonight I used my epilator for the first time since.  BLOODY HELL!! It was soooooo painful......nothing like it was before but the results look wonderful.  The newly hair free skin is much softer and nicer and once the redness goes away, I imagine that my arms will look lovely.

Tomorrow? Maybe the legs !!
