    I tried hair removal cream last night in a couple spots. It didn’t work great so I figured i might not have been thorough enough. Tried it again more thoroughly this morning, still poor results but also fairly painful! Mild burns/rashes on armpits and nipples. Very glad i didn’t do anywhere more sensitive.

    So that is firmly off the table from now on.

      That stuff is wicked. I use it on my downstairs area because shaving is way more hassle than I’m willing to go through, but it definitely burns every time and feels uncomfortable for the rest of the day. I wish there was another solution that wasn’t shaving, waxing, or lasers.

        I find it’s great for getting rid of my arse crack mohican. Can’t let it anywhere near the happy sack though. Burns like hell.

        I’ve had acceptable results from an electric trimmer as long as I pull things taut and was careful, I just wanted something a bit less time consuming.

        My entire left armpit is currently splotchy pink and painful, as are the nips, so I’m not even going to attempt to put it on my lower bits. I’m more mad that even after all that 3/4 of the hair was still there, so it really didn’t do much of anything other than burn me.

        There’s an electrolysis place nearby that I think i’ll look into next payday, i just want it all gone, permanently, starting with the undercarriage and bits, and chest (manboob-stubble HURTS!)

        Seems to be healing fairly quickly! No longer as much stinging, its not as tender, and some of the splotchiness has faded.
