Tweezing.

Sounds painful don’t shave pubes anymore because I can’t stand the itch. May try nair. Also I was wondering if that stuff would work on your face?

I don’t know if it was on here but there’s pics of a guy who used Nair on his sack and it looked pretty raw..why not give tweezing a try at the top of your shaft? If you don’t like it then look for other methods. I can’t speak highly enough of the results tweezing warrants.

Tweezing is definitely the way forward. Once you get into it, it begins to hurt less anyway. In my opinion it looks better than a total shave, and it certainly feels better (a few days later at least).

Lol Drilla9 I hope it’s not just me lol. Yeah when I pulled every so often some one leave the poor with a spec of blood. But I would say my hair is fairly thick I think. And in some cases for me it seems that 2 hairs are coming from one spot.. Maybe I just got the crappy end of the deal with my pubes. O well Off to tweeze some more. FUN FUN FUN

Do you tweeze your shaft and balls?? I have been shaving my shaft and balls for several years.Maybe I might try it.I guess I’d have to let them grow out for a few days.How often do you have to maintain?

Anyone here had any luck with using an epilator down there? The principle is the same as tweezing but its mechanised, so less fuss, but more pain I guess. It would be good to know whether to buy one or not.

I too have follicles with two hairs in them, and I’ve learned to take my time, do one, then the other, doesn’t hurt a bit. (or maybe i’m just used to it by now).

I’ve tried Nair and I feel it my duty to any semi-human being to warn STRONGLY against that. I was incapacitated with pain the day after I tried that, but of course I may have done it wrong or just be sensitive to it… But BE CAREFUL!

I’m currently trying Kalo brand lotion after I tweeze after finding that tip around this forum somewhere. It’s supposed to permanently stop growth after a certain number of treatments. (I sure hope so, tweezing’s a pain in the neck, literally). Anyways I’ll let y’all know if it works. :)

*edits* Oh hey look at that! I’m not a newbie anymore! Yay! :D

Hi,

I started tweezing about 6 months ago and the pain quickly disappears. By the third or fourth time you can barely feel it, to me it seems a better choice than using chemicals because I can control the look better. I don’t really want it to look like I have tweezed it.

I too sometimes have two hairs growing from the same point.

Yep, anything that protrudes down there gets the treatment now. I’ve only had to start pruning here and there after at least a fortnight of silky smoothness. It’s a lot less hassle in the end..

Ow ow ow ow!!! I tried my wife’s epilady thing on my arm hair just to show her what a wuss she was being. I wouldn’t recommend that torture device for any part of your body.

I also tried Nair (the version for sensitive skin) on my inner thigh, at the request of the wife, because she wanted to see if her reaction to it was abnormal. After the red splotches, burning, and stinging went away, I was presented with a nice rash for a few days. I’m thinking highly dilluted hydrochloric acid would cause less problems and do the same thing.

She also made me try that damn rotating sand-paper thing they sell for women’s legs, claiming it’s great for sensitive skin and leaves everything smooth. Yeah. That thing felt as good as 80 grit sandpaper on my belt sander, and left a heat rash for even longer than the Nair.

I’m going to stay lazy and stick with my vibrating razor. Hell, I gotta shave my face anyway, my nuts and shaft just adds 2 or 3 minutes to my shower routine anyway. :D

I have alot of thick hair on my shaft…. ALOT! I tweezed today and ouchies! This shit hurts at first! But I got used to it. A few of them bleed pretty bad but I hate the look of hair on the shaft so I kept goin. After 40 mins I had a piece of paper covered with hair and a few blood drops on the shaft. I would never put any chemical on the pubic region just because I fear of somthing going terribly wrong and me losing somthing very important.

WAX .. WAX .. WAX

I wax - just the bottom of the shaft. That’s the kind of wax you heat in the microwave, smear on, wait for a little bit, then rip off. Trim the hair to between 1/4” and 1/2” first, remember to stretch the skin before ripping the wax off, and pull in the direction the hair is growing. It hurts like hell until you get the hang of it, but it’s not that bad after you do. When you’re done, rub any extra wax off w/oil, then wash. Especially the first few times, there will probably be a little bit of cleanup necessary with tweezers. I smear triple antibiotic ointment over everything just for extra protection.

This only has to be done every 3 or 4 weeks or so, and take a total of maybe 5 minutes after you get some practice. And, as with tweezers, the hairs grow back finer and slower and, supposedly, eventually stop growing at all (I haven’t gotten to this point, though).

If you can use this on your balls, well, let’s just say you’re not a very sensitive type.
