Method if you SI for the pain

Post by SilentSoul » Fri Apr 23, 2004 7:49 am

I've reckoned something that might be useful for some who SI's for the pain
I tried to wax my legs the other day and it hurted like ¤%"##
I realised,that this might be useful for someone who tried to cope with si
1. It's completely harmless(at least i thinkso ?)
2. you don't have to get tempted by the shavers when you need to shave

Maybe this method sounds really stupid,maybe this have been posted before
What do you think?
But I'm afraid to be alone..
Afraid you'll leave me when i'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home.

It has been posted before
[never hurts for these things to be mentioned again,
and i'm sure i haven't seen one for a while now :D ]

AND, from what i've read previously, it's apparently remarkably effective too:-

Congrats on your discovery :wink:

De hair your nostrils if it's pain you want.
And pluck hairs from your toes.
Leg waxing is getting less and less painful every time I do it, but the above hurt SO MUCH I would never do them again

Toe Hairs?
OUCH!
I Wax, and I agree, it does become less painful each time you do it.
But it still does hurt a little. I never really thought of it like that.
Good Looks!

Having just waxed my bikini line, I was thinking of suggesting this as well. Oh, and I bleed a little bit, which would be good for me as a "need to see damage" thing. (No, no real damage done, but it looks quite effective...) For me it also fulfils the need to make violent movements.

Plucking your eyebrows isn't bad either.
Act in such a way as to make yourself feel capable and effective

The change starts now.

If in doubt, don't

Embarrassing but yes, some of us are indeed Hobbit-esque.

Sometimes I will pluck my leg hair with tweezers. It keeps my hands busy, requires me to focus, is time consuming, and is functional as well.

Might give the waxing thing a go. Been horribly clumsy lately with my blasted razor :roll:

And why is it that cuts from shaving don't hurt *nearly* as much as SI? :-? Is it just me..

I'm not well-versed in hobbitry, but yes indeed, some of us have hairy toes. Speaking of which, where <i>did</i> those tweezers go.....

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but it <b>too</b> becomes less painful as you do it more.

Whoa, considering the density, it could keep me busy for several <i>days</i> if I worked straight-through. Of course, being blonde (and I'm sure there are a whole HOST of jokes there), I'd undoubtedly be blind by the time I was done, too.

an interesting thing about bikini waxing (my t actually approves of this alternative :o :roll: -- yes i actually told her) is that when it starts to grow back you get to suffer thru the itchy stage so you get double duty. :o :o :o
