I’m trying to feel more feminine this week so I got one of those electric body shavers meant for sensitive areas. I did my bikini zone and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s sooo so nice to feel smooth down there. I didn’t do the best job as I still need to learn how to use it better.
I want to do my legs and chest too, but I think I’ll wait for this weekend. I know i could get a closer, smoother shave with a razor but last time I did it burned all over for days. Obviously I did it wrong. Still scares me though.
Just felt like sharing
Have a wonderful day!

Girl, I swear smooth legs are the best!
I use magic shaving powder.
Exfoliate the legs (edit: with an exfoliating Shea body scrub), then I do a quick wipe with salicylic acid wipes (it tends to make my hairs stand out from the skin more) and mix the powder with water, slather it on with a small brush I picked up last time my spouse wanted their hair done, and just waited the 5ish minutes standing in the tub. Sensitive areas can sting a little if you leave it on too long, but so far I have yet to damage anything. Just keep away from any wounds, sores, scabs, etc.

It’s fantastic though because I don’t have to worry about cutting open the girls and when I wipe off after 5 minutes the feeling of smoothness down there is divine. It’s also great because I like to tuck, and use tape on special occasions like when I want to wear leggings around my living space. Smoothness means nothing is shifting around.
Sadly I get bad ingrown hairs every so often, and this past week was particularly bad. I hate the prickly feeling 😭
I’ve got one of those shavers that just plucks the hair I’m going to try when the hair gets long enough, hopefully tomorrow if I’m lucky.
My facial hair has always been slow to grow and sparse, and the rest of my torso is pretty hairless already minus some small thin spots, so I’m mainly getting arms, legs, pits, and intimates.
I will definitely try this out, it sounds super simple. Thanks for the advice!
Good luck with the epilator (the one that plucks the hairs). I tried it a few times and I’ve decided that it’s just not worth it for me. It hurt worse than getting my tattoos! not to mention, it irritated my skin a lot afterward.
I’ve found that wahl balding clippers work pretty well for 90% of my body. You need to be a tiny bit careful with them because they can cut you, so I don’t use them around the nethers. I’ve found they do a good job on me, with people commenting on how smooth my legs are even a number of days after shaving. That said, after trying a bunch of stuff over the years it seems to me like everyone just needs to figure what works best for their skin/hair.
I have tried it out with some hairs I missed and honestly it doesn’t seem super bad.
Still fairly early on in trying to girlmode, and I’m not on hormones yet, so everything is still stuper thick and I’m figuring things out. I’ll have to check out those clippers!
