So, my egg finally cracked a few weeks ago. And while generally dysphoria isn’t terrible for me at the moment, one thing that is really making me uncomfortable is my body hair. I’ve always been pretty hairy, so I bought an epilator a while ago, and while I’m really happy with it for my legs (smooth legs are aweeesome!), I’m having a hard time on my belly and chest. There’s just so much and it regrows so quickly, and with how sensitive these areas are, I’m having a hard time keeping up.

Do you have any other tips or ideas, or do I just have to power through? I’ve heard it gets better if you do it often, but I can’t feel much of a difference yet

And how are your experiences with body hair on HRT? I’m not on E yet, but would you say it gets better?

Thanks :3

    I do have fairly light skin and dark hair, so this is a great tip! A friend is currently doing professional IPL treatments, but that is really expensive, and I didn’t know you could buy a hand held device to do it at home. I’ll give it a try!
