Has anyone tried those hair-removal pad things?

[redqueen]

The ones you just rub on your skin and: hey presto! No hair!

?

It can't be that easy.

1. Must be some evil fucking chemicals in that thing.

[redqueen]

2. It looks like sandpaper.

:scared:

3. Yes, I tried them several years ago

And they are still sitting in my bathroom cabinet.

What do they feel like?

About what you'd expect fine grain sandpaper to feel like on your legs.

They do remove the hair, BUT the coarser the hair, the longer the rubbing. I would think that it does fine with fine hair. But mine is a bit more coarse and I dearly wished I could have used some lotion or something, but they say not to.

I get better results with Neet.

5. I thought so!

What a nasty idea... sandpaper.

Someone's a sadist...

4. Yeah. They're more work and hassle than they're worth, IMHO.

They're basically like fine-grain sandpaper. Sure, they take the hair off--eventually, with much work. They also take layers of your skin off, and leave something like a rug burn behind. Maybe it wouldn't be that way for someone with really fine, light, sparse body hair, but this woman of Eastern European descent was not impressed.

6. Yeah...

I'll stick with the razor. :)

7. I think every woman should have access to affordable laser treatments.

I used to suffer from folliculitis and following several treatments, my legs are smoother than have ever been in my life. Barely any hair left.

9. Hah... yes...

that sounds heavenly! :D

8. Can't be worse than an epilady.

My mother had one of those, and my sister stuck it to my leg hair. It jammed. I thought I was going to die.

10. OW

I tried one of those things, *once*... :pals:

[texas1928]

12. Once was enough.

Oh GOD, I thought my leg had been cut off. It did not pull one at a time, it was a handful, and it was a ripping sound when it started then it went GRAAAAAAAAAANNNNNPPPPPPPPHHHHH and stuck. We had to cut it away from my leg.

11. I'm pretty sure those things are banned under the Geneva Convention.

Fucking torture device. x(

[texas1928]

13. Yeah give me water boarding, that thing is a spring loaded bundle of misery.

[undeterred]

14. Its something you don't do more than once...

Unless you like pain.
