Hey girls, you're scaring me!! LOL. As long as I can remember, my nipples always erect easily and often and become aroused, in fact it was always my preferred foreplay and self gratification even over genital foreplay. I try not to think too much of what will happen on HRT; just hope I'm pleasantly surprised! 😲

Hi Jess, mine has been an electrologist for 30 plus years and knows her stuff which I was delighted about considering I had one of 3 places to choose from - no BS - she took one look and said I wasn't going to be straightforward lol. She uses an IPL which was what she used the first time at max setting to blast the darkest hairs, which is why it stung so much but she refers to that as pretty much just clearing out the worst of the weeds to see what needs to be done, my next appt is in 3 weeks time to let the growth cycle start up again so she can see what is left, but she is moving on to the NDYAG laser which is more powerful but hits a smaller area to get the other colours, both are thermolysis so effectively use heat to completely destroy the hair permanently and then electrolysis will be left for the stragglers that have little to no pigment. Starting this before I see a gender therapist to see if I am "trans" through the NHS might not make sense to some, but for me I know I cannot stand having to shave all the time so getting a smooth face will be totally worth it regardless. Plus when I do wear makeup just now I hate the pad or wipe being torn apart when I clean my neck after only a few hrs. My sunburn is almost gone, just my neck is still red now, if it gives me a bit more confidence too then it cannot be a bad thing! 💛

Hi Dee, It was a BIG step for me starting laser. I started 5 weeks ago with my first treatment. Had my second last week.. She uses a "Light Sheer Diode Laser and Vectus Laser, wavelength 810. My biggest problem (and fear) in going out, was my shadow and how quickly it would return after shaving, but that was quickly eliminated with my first treatment. After laser for me, one day of (sunburn feeling), a couple of days clumps of dark hair would force their way out through my pores, and from the 3rd day after to a week, my skin broke out somewhat. Which I didn't expect, because I never had acne or pimple problems). I cleaned my face often using a defoliating cleanser and kept it moisturized with an oil free moisturizer. Within a week everything was back to normal, except no dark hairs!😍 Shaving was so much easier. I also started electrolysis a week after my first laser treatment, because most if the hair on my lower chin and neck was light hair, (probably an age thing?) Have had about 10 hours so far and the results are definitely noticeable, but will need many, many more. As far as pain, neither were much of an issue for me, ( the first laser treatment bit me quite a lot right below my nose and around my lips, though!). The second was easier. Witch hazel is a good and in-expensive remedy which my electrologist let me in on. Yes, the cost is hard to swallow, but if it's any consolation, the amount of make-up I need has reduced to almost nothing! You are going to love the feeling, not just the physical feeling, but the psychological one too!🙋‍♀️ Jess

Thanks Christa, I'll order it - my sons birthday this month coupled with starting laser has eaten into my funds considerably but I've found it and stuck it on my wishlist for the end of the month. Laser doesn't just hurt the pocket though! ouch! My sister said it looked like I had nappy rash on my face it was so red and that was after an hour of having a cooling gel on it, but apparently in order to be effective (eg permanent) I need the highest strength laser for my black hairs, the new posh laser for the red hairs and then electrolysis for the white hairs - so it will be a long long road... Under my jaw line was the most painful, but I'm guessing that it was due to the nerves near the ear. The test patches did not even come close to the pain of the whole face being done - I may look into numbing creams for next time... I had intended to go visiting but because I looked like I had a nasty skin condition I just went back to my sisters and sat and watched the six nations rugby with my nephew. I left just before halftime to drive home as Scotland were losing badly, which seemed to be a good luck sign as I missed an amazing comeback lol typical. I don't mind veg I'm just so used to having it with meat or carbs...am feeling motivated just now though so intend to crack on this week to start my weight loss by exercise and proper food management again.
