I’m pretty over shaving constantly, but I don’t think I can afford to go somewhere to get laser or electrolysis done professionally right now. How effective are at-home options? Which models of devices are recommended, if any?

Fortunately, there is a cheapish laser salon in my area that works well for my face, but some women have told me that they get their laser done by the students at a cosmetologist school that’s even cheaper. It might be worth looking into whether that’s available in your area.
An epilator works great for the rest of my body, and my skin feels much better to me after the hair has been pulled all the way out. It only really hurt the first few times. After that the pain turned into pleasure. Seriously, it feels so nice that I have to remind myself to not just bliss out. My sense of general happiness even stays improved for days after as well! Try the epilator. But don’t use it on your face!
Don’t dare use this one on your face, but some folks make their own electrolysis setups. It will cause scaring if you don’t know what you are doing.
Just got an epilator! And owwwwww lol
But it works SO well. I love how smooth my skin is, I just hope the pain goes down over time, I can only do so much at a time before I need a break
Yay! Glad you like it! It took me several sessions to do everything below the neck at first. That was before starting hrt so it was terrible. I remember slowly eating dark chocolate in between short breaks to counter the pain. Hopefully you’re still happy with the epilator and get to unlock the euphoria soon! There’s always some pain for me but the bliss kicks in so hard and fast it doesn’t even matter.
I just learned that cacao contains anandamide, one of the endocannabinoids, so maybe eating the chocolate helped train my body to deal with the pain? Who knows!
