I’ve been on hrt for a couple of months and one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with is my light skin + dark body hair. While I’m not out to the world yet it’d be nice to have a smooth chest without short, visible hairs after shaving, which leads to my question. Have any of you dealt with this and found someway to at least hide body hair stubble?

    It can take some practice. It works best if the hair is already short, like 2-3 days after shaving

      I’ll give it a shot. It’ll hurt for sure but I suppose that comes with the territory. 😅

        Pain is just dysphoria leaving the body!

        I always do it right after bathing and drying my clawfoot tub. The hair should be no longer than 5mm or it will break off instead of pulling out from the follicle! The removed hair will also look different if it was broken instead of pulled out. Its like you can see the base part at the end. Good luck! :)

          Doing it after a bath is genius and I have no idea how I didn’t make that connection. Thank you!

            When i epilate my legs i make sure to use body scrub too, that makes it less painful and helps with ingrown hairs (it also makes my legs feel soft and smooth :3)
