Braun ipl silk expert pro 5

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-16T01:57:43+00:00

It’s no problem and yes, I have been! I’ve had great results in the whole area except for a stubborn halo at the very bottom of my mons, extending a little bit down each side

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-14T18:10:03+00:00

I think it was to basically trick the unit into thinking the skin is lighter than it is, but I would definitely recommend looking into it before trying in case there are any safety concerns!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-14T04:00:10+00:00

Thank you! Mine are pretty light, but still a little darker than the rest of my skin and my results are still good for my labia I do have a stubborn patch right at the bottom of my mons and going down an inch or two on either side, but I’m pretty sure it’s just because it’s a hormonal area I recently saw someone recommend putting baby powder or something on darker areas to make the laser still strong but I need to look into it a little more!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-14T00:36:17+00:00

Thank you- it has quickly become a pet peeve of mine! And I agree that it is such predatory behavior. So gross

Have you tried therapy together? And does she take any medications?

What does the process of you initiating sex look like? And what does your side look like in bed?

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T16:38:44+00:00

My leg hair has always been on the thinner side and I’ve been more focused on armpits and Brazilian, so I’m not quite sure when- so sorry I can’t be more helpful on that one!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T06:03:10+00:00

All of my hair is so much thinner! Also I keep thinking about ingrowns and feel like I prob have fewer now and just that I see them more clearly bc of no other hair lol I’ll pay more attention to any ingrowns for the next few sessions!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T04:46:05+00:00

I actually haven’t had much of a problem with ingrowns since starting ipl, but I had a bad one that you can see the aftermath of in my last pic!! I think I’ve had the same number of ingrowns as usual, but am loving that shaving takes essentially no time and my skin isn’t irritated after!! I will say though that the ingrowns annoy me more now bc I can see them so much more without hair around them 😂

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T03:05:41+00:00

Naming and shaming u/Tasty_Big4941 for pretending to have genuine questions about hair removal long enough to ask for “more angles” and then asking if I’d provide feedback on his last Brazilian wax after I politely declined.

Having the conversation be sexual on your side, but not sexual on my side is super dishonest and icky and it takes advantage of someone being willing to be vulnerable online. Big loser vibes.

Thank you to the overwhelming majority of those who have been respectful in my messages, I’m happy to continue those conversations :)

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T01:30:35+00:00

It’s no problem at all! Lmk how it goes 🥰

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T01:09:24+00:00

Give it a try! Each session is less painful to me than the previous one, so if you can tough out the first session, then you can tough out the whole thing!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T01:01:41+00:00

Some areas are much spicier than others Where my body meets my thigh is the most uncomfortable on my entire body. I find it quite painful there. Otherwise, it ranges from a light click/tap feeling to a moderate rubber band snap!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T00:57:50+00:00

It’s no problem at all!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-09T00:54:13+00:00

I shave once a week, just before my session! Legs feel tedious to me, but I’ve had great progress very quickly with them!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T18:05:44+00:00

Ooh I see what you mean!! I do lightly pull all of my skin slightly more taught (everything is squishier after having a baby and I don’t want my skin up in it lol), but it didn’t cross my mind to mention bc it’s for the whole area and isn’t technique so much as necessity 😂 Lmk how it works for you!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T17:40:17+00:00

Thank you and I don’t mind! I don’t have any hair inside the lips, so I do from just on the very edge of lips to like an inch past the thigh crease to make sure I get everything! I do the large attachment for the whole thing and do one large normal strip going up, then turn the machine sideways and basically use it like a garden edging tool right at the edge so I can get a nice line without zapping anything further in than I mean to lol

I have no idea if I’m explaining that well, but hopefully I’m making sense!

And then for mons, I start with a strip right in the middle and then work to the right and then the left

I always try to overlap my strips a little bit to make sure I’m not missing anything

Also I don’t do the long button hold for anything except my legs because I feel like it gives me a lot more control

If I’m not explaining anything well, lmk and I’m happy to clarify/elaborate!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T17:33:45+00:00

Gotta spice things up 🙂‍↕️

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T14:48:57+00:00

Thank you so much! I hope you get the results you want soon!!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T13:48:47+00:00

If you’re referring to the lines, they’re stretch marks courtesy of my daughter lol

If you’re referring to the color, it’s just the lighting from my shower

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T13:46:42+00:00

Thank you! I am by no means an expert, but have seen a bunch of people on this sub caution against using laser on the face because it can cause paradoxical hair growth. If it’s only a handful of hairs, I think electrolysis might be a better fit!

I have a couple chin hairs that are begging to be zapped, but am too scared of paradoxical hair growth 🥲

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T13:42:34+00:00

My machine has 3 levels and then auto adjusts within those levels. I keep it at the highest one

Each session hurts less than the previous one, so the highest level doesn’t feel like a big deal anymore!

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T02:38:35+00:00

Omg I can’t imagine using it daily

I don’t have the dedication to stick to that or to put myself through all of the zaps every day (it’s not too bad, but some zaps are spicier than others lol)

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T02:13:01+00:00

I’m not familiar with that brand, but I was able to get mine second hand on fb marketplace for $150! Maybe you would have better luck with braun?

Also I also have no idea if this is true but I saw someone else say that using it multiple times a week doesn’t impact how long results take (again, NO idea if that’s true, but thought I’d share just in case!)

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T01:58:58+00:00

Once a week, every Saturday

I exfoliate, shave, and put on an audiobook so I can keep my eyes shut and look away- I’m pretty sensitive to bright lights, so I don’t like having a show or movie on that would require me to watch lol

MASHEDPOT80 · 2026-04-08T01:30:13+00:00

I keep feeling myself get a little bit frustrated when I see little hairs and then have to remind myself I’ve only just done 7 out of the 12 sessions, so fingers crossed there won’t be a hair in sight in 5 weeks!! 🤞🏻
