epilating 'down there'

how bout telling him to like it or lump it...... sod doing it just for his sake!!!!!

I got an epilator the other week thinking exactly the same thing.
So far I've done my legs and it hurts, but I thought it was alright after I got used to it a bit. My mum tried it and went mad that it hurt? So I think it depends on your pain threshold.
I did try a little bit 'down yonder' it hurt so i only did a tiny bit. I'll definately be doing my legs for quite a while before I attempt that again. It's not supposed to hurt as much if you have bath beforehand and suchlike. I found the redness took a day or two to go down on my legs first time, but I put alot of moisturiser on. I wouldn't recommend doing it the night before your going somewhere important. And seeing as it stays smooth you can do it a couple of days before.

Hope this helps

ooo thank you that was helpful!
hmm the redness for a few days thing could get annoying but I think it stops going red for as long after a while
anyone know how long the hair has to be before a home waxing kit works well?
and to the two who said i should just leave it i make him trim his hair as well lol and plus I don't mind, I don't want him to be grossed out by me or anything i don't mind getting rid of the hair that much

yeah but apart from the pain, would it damage me? lol. I've had it waxed before and the pain of that wasn't too bad until the very last middle bit then i like cried; i would just epilate until there is a line down the middle haha then i would shave that bit haha i would leave it hairy but my bf doesn't like it
in my opinion it looks nicer though but oh well lol

It could damage you actually. The hair's there to protect you from infection etc. Since I quickly get bladder infections I definitely wouldn't ever try to remove everything. I mean I shave, just not as much as that o.o My boyfriend isn't very happy either, but screw that.

The hair isn't there to protect you, it's there as an by product of evolution from back in the day where people would be attracted to their mates by smelling pheromones which would stick to the hair and be more easily smelt.

I really have to disagree with that... one of the body's hair's functions is certainly protection, just like nose hair filters the air you breathe.

Eventhough you are right in that sense, and also that bacteria can actually get stuck in hair and make it less hygenic, the best way is honestly mid-way, not a lot of hair, so there won't be lots of icky bacteria, but also not no hair, since that makes a barrier free way for bacteria to pass through to other places. Clothes can protect us from a lot but there's also a reason we are taught to put on clean underwear every day.

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned the laser, which is a less painful and definitive solution.
