Seems like there is an overwhelming majority of people here who shave... I gues it's easier, faster and less painful?
In any case, I would love to hear from those who have tried any of the other uncommon methods, i.e. threading, sugaring and permanent/semi-permane nt hair removal... maybe we're missing out on something here!
I'l going through IPL, and there's one thing I feel I should tell anybody who is considering it: it's not painless. How painful it will be will depend on your hair colour, skin tone, hair width and how sensitive you are.
Depending on a series of factors, what you feel may vary from a slight tickle to a sensation akin to somebody pressing a hot spiky rod to your skin. It only lasts for about a second every time, but it can be intense enough that you may want to reconsider going through the six-to-twelve sessions it will take to get rid of most of your body hair...
In my case, I could barely feel it when it was on my armpits, and the area at the back of the knee and the ankles made me curse, but when it was time to zap my pubic hair it was agony. The burn was so bad I thought I was actually getting burned (a risk you run with darker skin colours) but the area wasn't even red afterwards. It was all my stupid nerve endings overreating.

I sugar and tweeze and use a hair inhibitor to stop the growth permanantly. I tweeze every hair I see DAILY. It was painful at first and around the very top part of the inner labia majora, it made me cry once! Now, I do it with no problems. I've done electrolysis and it was truly terrible and had no effect. I've used other treatments at home. I purchased Verseo's hair remover machine last christmas and it was a total rip off. They seriously are screwing people with their products badly! I have waxed and hated it because it WOULD NOT come off and it bruises me so much worse than sugaring. I've bruised badly from sugaring, but not in a long time. When I waxed, I had serious bruises and there are many women trying to sue the company Nad's for the same problems. It took the skin off and left me raw. I also used Veet (never a good idea!) down there many times and hated it, but once it burned my skin so badly that I had nasty, nasty blisters and scars.
It leaked a lot of fluid and I refused to go to the dr unless it didn't clear up. It looked disgusting and I went through a phase where I didn't want my partner looking at it. I took pics incase I needed some kind of treatment and perhaps those photos would be needed, but it finally healed. It took the skin off and bled and when it scabbed over it was black
I finally got rid of my scars only a few months ago
I was terrified I'd have them forever. Thank God for aloe vera! I'm dark complected so I have problems with certain hair removers. So far the hair inhibitor is working out OK.
