holy fuck it hurts so damn much and so consistently. ive been at it for hours and i haven’t even finished a whole leg yet.
please. someone. just end me now
edit: i just did a spot and the pores started bleeding
Epilators hurt like hell. Good luck and god speed.
First time is the worst, but it gets progressively less violent and painful as you continue. Take as long as you need per area, this will only be so slow in the short term.
i kid you not it’s been 4 hours and I’m just reaching the end of one leg. one.
hopefully it gets better like you said but this shit sucks frfr (´；ω；｀)
edit: i took 600mg of ibuprofen at the beginning of this and it did not help much
I started with half a limb per day because that was as much pain as I could tolerate, but after a few months most hairs were painless and the worst ones only hurt as much as a pinch.
<3 im so sorry you fell for its song, good luck, did you cut the leg hair down to ~ 5mm prior to epilating? (thats around 0,19685 freedom units… or about one fifth of an inch?)
i shaved a couple weeks ago and grew it out, idk how to actually measure the length of hair but I did my best using a fabric ruler and i think it was just about 5mm??
going over it with the trimmer attachment didn’t cut off any hair tho n it’s supposed to trim down to 5mm soooo im assuming im good??
:/ then it was probably just because it was the first time… it really hurts bad the first couple of times… it may help to go by hand for a bit and lighten up that forest with flat tipped tweezers? just ripping one hair out or a group of three or what ever you have ^^‘’ may be less painful than the constant buzz of the rollers… just use new and disinfected tweezers
they are not really for men. they hurt women too, but men tend to have thicker hair. it can get bloody.
Beauty is pain bby. But really i cant imagine. Ive gone the laser route and epilators sound…. Barbaric
