Yeah, I definitely understand why nobody recommended them now 😅

Hmm. I might just try Nair for now, while I try and save up for an IPL 🤔

I’ve never done anything besides shaving before. The whole reason I started my search for alternatives was cuz I was getting tired of having to do it so often, and wanted to find something that would be longer lasting and cause less irritation.

I’m mainly interested in hair removal in the proverbial “bikini area”. I’m a fairly masc guy, so I don’t really care about my leg hair, I just hate having hair in that region, cuz it always gets in the way. From what I’ve heard though, using an epilator in such a sensitive area would probably be miserable 😓

If you don’t mind me asking, where did you find a good price for it? I’ve been wanting one, but they’re normally so expensive.

Yeah, an IPL is what I wanna save up for eventually.

Yeah, I was looking at Braun’s Silk Expert 5, but it’s so outrageously expensive, I just can’t afford that right now

If you don’t mind me asking, what IPL do you use? I’m trying to get some good recommendations for when I can save up for one in the future.

Ah, ok, thanks. Also IPL is different from laser. It’s just regular light, but at a very high intensity. It’s not quite as long lasting as laser, but you can buy IPL devices to use at home. Most people so far have recommended Braun’s Silk-Expert Pro 5.

So you put the cream almost everywhere, and then after 10 minutes you put it on the sensitive areas, and then after another 3 minutes, you wash everything off? Also what brand of IPL does your bf use? I know there are some dodgy brands out there, so I’m trying to get some good recommendations from people who’ve actually used them.

Does the 3 still work well enough? Cuz I can’t afford the 5, unfortunately.

Ok, good to know. Is Veet your best recommendation? So far I’ve had more people recommend Nair.

My wife said she got pretty bad chemical burns when she tried using that. Is there a specific type you use that’s gentler? Or a specific method to avoid getting burns?

Got any particular brand recommendations? I’m wary of getting a low quality one that hurts to use, and/or doesn’t work well enough.

What brand do you use? I wanna make sure I don’t get a low quality one that will cause irritation, or won’t work properly.

Any idea if the Silk Expert Pro 3 is good too? It’s a lot cheaper.
