I’m doing this for the first time, took a hot shower before.

And it hurts LIKE HELL.

I have a Braun Silk epil 7. So yeah if you have any tips on how to make this hurt less do tell.

    It does hurt less after the first/second times. At first I did my feet, lower legs. Then stopped. Knees are particularly bad. Thighs hurt too and I didn’t get to the top of them yet! I really just wanted smooth legs if seen under a skirt.

    I put a podcast on, recommend: philosophy tube (which is by an incredible trans woman) - gives you loads to think about to distract from the pain.

    Never try epilating your hands would be my advice. Felt like fire ants. (I imagine)

      I epilate my hands all the time, along with most of the rest of me /shrugs

      I’ve never done my face with an epilator though.
