    Knew epilating would be painful but didn’t think it would be this bad even after taking pain meds.

    Feels like I’m tearing open my legs, and just brought back thoughts of self harming.

    Guess I’m doomed to shaving my legs forever sadness

      You can get laser on the rest of your body hair! I personally don’t mind epilating but it is a very intense but localized pain. It stops hurting as much the longer you do it, but that’s a pretty cold comfort. Personally, I kinda like the ritual of shaving or waxing my legs. Makes me feel more feminine. Still a pain in the ass though.

      I use lidocaine and arnica cream about fifteen minutes before I epilate. I’ll still feel the pressure, but it’s not nearly as painful!
