Hiya,
This is a random question that has nothing to do with IBS... Has anyone ever used one of those epilator/hair removal things? I keep seeing ads for them on sale and have almost bought one about 5 times, but I'm afraid it just won't work. Shaving my legs gives me a rash and waxing is too expensive so I am wondering if anyone has tried onna those epilator things and how well they work?
AND I got my picture posted, so yay!

I have never used one either but have been curious. I have a terrible time with my bikini area, waxing just hurts too much and grows back too quick and forget about shaving it!
Anyone actually ever use one???

Michele and Steph! You gorgeous babes, you!
How nice to finally see who we're talking to. It makes a big difference, it's like you're real now! And HOW! Hubba hubba!
Jamie, it must be difficult being around all these gorgeous young babes, eh?
I don't know what an epilator is, but have you guys ever tried an epilatory? It a cream that you wipe on, wait a few seconds, then wipe it off -- along with the hair.
When I was 16, I wanted to shave my legs, but my mother forbid me. Clever gal that I am, I went out and bought some Nair, a great epilatory. I wiped it on, and wiped off all the leg hair. I didn't disobey my mother -- I wouldn't DARE -- I didn't use a shaver.

Thanks for the compliment! that picture was taken when we went on our recent cruise so I'm nice and tan, usually I'm pretty fair skinned!
So, was your mom pissed or what??!! I have used those creams a long time ago on my legs but never for the bikini, will it work on THAT hair??

Gee, Michele, I can't answer your question because I never tried it there. Sorry.
Was my mom pissed? Actually, no. Amazing, isn't it? She admitted she told me not to shave -- and I didn't.

Ola again,
Thanks for the compliments, Bev. 
And Michele, you are beeeeautiful.
As for those creams, I have tried to use 'em a buncha times but they give me a rash too. Plus, after shaving for so long, they don't really seem to do the trick. They get some off, but not really all.
Michele, I have used it on **that area** and it does work, just be careful not to leave it for too long or it can really irritate your skin. I don't like using it, but a girlfriend of mine uses it all the time and swears by it.
Good luck!!

Michele and Steph, I agree, you girls are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the pics! 
I'm not sure what that epilator thing is, but I recently bought a Bikini Touch trimmer and I'm pretty pleased with it! It doesn't remove every single bit of hair like waxing would, but I also refuse to do that. I'm so sensative that shaving killed me and Nair didn't work either, so it's nice to finally have something that doesn't irritate me at all! Here's their website:
