Depilated

[ailbhe]

Underarm waxing hurts. Really, really hurts. However, it's done now, so I can be beautiful for my wedding. Ow ow ow.

The legs weren't so bad, and I just hope that it doesn't grow back before the wedding, because I really wouldn't like getting it done again. The woman who did it was very professional; she ripped it all off quite quickly and got it over with as soon as possible, which I much appreciated, because it couldn't have been made pleasant.

Bye bye furry feminist principles again.

Next step: facial tomorrow.

oh, god, I can't even imagine.

Is it better than shaving, in the pits?

TMI Warning

The hair in my armpits grows out flat along the skin, so that when I shave you can still see the portion growing under the skin - about 3mm usually. Also, it grows fast enough to create noticeable stubble within 6 hours.

So for super-hirsute me, yes, waxing is better than shaving, if I need depilated armpits. But I've never done it before and I never want to do it again. For one thing, I hate the feel of depilated armpits - it's so sticky.

Ow, waxing.

But, you know, IMO, feminism is about living as you personally determine is best for you. So, it's perfectly feminist, if rather masochistic, for you to go get waxed. :)
