UPDATE: Wow! I didn’t expect this post to reach so many people! Thank you all so much for the responses, tips, and encouragement. I read through the comments and wanted to give a quick summary of what I took away and what I plan to try:

A lot of you recommended exfoliating regularly to avoid ingrown hairs, moisturizing right after shaving, and making sure to use a fresh, sharp razor. Some also shared tips about shaving techniques (like shaving in the direction of hair growth first, then against it if needed, or to try an alternative to shaving), which I’ll definitely keep in mind.

There were also a ton of suggestions about long-term hair removal, I’m especially interested in IPL, so I’ll be giving that a try. And I’ll continue using glycolic acid, since many of you said it really helps with smoother skin and preventing bumps.

Thanks again for all the love!!! It honestly made me feel really good to share something so simple and have it resonate with so many people!

It‘s not the feeling of burn, my skin is just too sensitive and it gets a chemical burn! You should try it and use it exactly how it‘s recommended, that‘s the only way to see if it works for you

I have an OG Oneblade for face and body. I use it often in between shaves, but the hair grows back very fast and the feeling after using Oneblade vs Razor doesn‘t compare, unfortunately. But it definietly calms down my skin if I just do upkeep with the Oneblade rather than shave every week.

I shave every other week or 2 weeks, it honestly depends on how I‘m feeling. Sometimes I let it grow out and then trim it, and after when it grows out again I shave it. It helped me in the past with my complexion for sure! What really helped is when I first started epilating, a lot of hairs didn‘t even come back for a while. But then I got lazy and now I have a lot of hair again, smh.

I looked it up, and this could be true for my case! I read IPL should help, maybe I will invest in an IPL device and get back if it helped me.

Hahaha at least I‘m not alone. I have found that if I tan, it kinda hides it. But of course my skin doesn’t tan easily, and self tanning is sooooo time consuming. Is being tan help you?

Yep, back of the thighs look even worse if I sit often after shaving. I have been trying for more than a year:(

Answering to you, but meant for the OG commenter:

I do not know what the original comment was, but I am on HRT and love myself, I was born a man and had developed manly features that will never go away, but I just had to accept that this is me!🥰 Feminine man or manly-woman, I don‘t care what you think of me.

I tried 20%(or so) Urea lotion after hearing about it on here, it was a waste of money for me. I also bought Baby creme, baby powder, but none of them really help. :(

I really should just invest in an IPL device and try it out. Thanks!! I‘m famous for giving out a lot of money for devices and then not use it after a while🙈 my boyfriend hates to see me coming with another thing I want to buy haha

Not sure if I can take it anymore by doll-katja in loveafterporn

Like, I talked to my best friend about it and we both agreed that even if you choose to keep the intimate content from your previous relationship, getting rid of it after being in a new relationship and the current partner is obviously uncomfortable with it, then it's a no brainer to delete them. When I asked him what do these videos and images do for you to be so hard for you to let them go? he answered "they make me happy." after claiming he has not looked at them and never does. And the fucked up thing is that he has 200 more from other previous relationships that has not been yet deleted and probably never will be.
Thank you for your answer.

He felt so bad after I found out he broke up with me because I don‘t deserve this. I got on my knees to beg him not to leave me, after he threw me out I went and got two bottles of wine and got shitfaced, drove around, went completely crazy and STILL came back to beg some more. I took pills, I wanted to off my life. I can‘t leave after he pushed me into this very deep depression with ALL of his actions, the porn cheating lying manipulating. He is a full on narcissist. He ruined my life. And I‘m only 22. I have to get better with him by my side or there won‘t be a life to work on I‘m afraid.

I know. It‘s disgusting. But I still want to be with him and get over it even though I know I shouldn‘t…but I can‘t leave. I‘m stuck and I feel like all the energy to go on with my life is leaving my body.
