Please no jokes or snarky replies and no bragging about how you don’t have facial hair or were able to get laser. I’m in a very very very dark spot right now and don’t think I could handle it. So anyway, how do I live with this fucking beard that takes less than half a day to return and feel scratchy again? I can’t get laser and can’t afford electrolysis.
an epilator would be best methinks, i personally used this one for ages (https://a.co/d/0gFI6izy) but anything that doesnt use batteries and runs from wall power should work. if it uses batteries you’ll need to replace them constantly. in my experience, battery powered ones would stop pulling the hairs out properly if the batteries weren’t like 90% charge.
i would get a relatively smooth face and no shadow for like 5 days before it started to regrow
How do you not die from the pain? I tried epilating my leg once and had to stop because the pain was so severe that I was close to blacking out
dysphoria was worse, also chronic migraines have probably increased my pain tolerance idk
Better not use an epilator on facial hair. You would risk scabbing and scarring. I have seen one thread on Reddit a long time ago of a girl who shaved with epilator and had strawberry face (with photos) that infected and it took forever to heal it, and then left scars afterwards.
Edit: Some people are lucky to not get adverse effects, but it is better to not risk.
trying it once is very unlikely to cause scarring though so it’s worth a shot
Maybe you are right. I never tried it myself, so I can’t say anything more about it, mostly just anecdotes.
if op’s face bleeds a lot she should definitely stop. i had this weird thing where little bubbles of blood would form from where the hairs were, and pretty quickly get sucked back in? they never ran down my face or anything i guess they had enough tension, super weird tho
Well shaving then. 2 times a day.

you can hide it with makeup maybe
makeup doesn’t hide the scratchiness
a pair of tweezers and lots, lots of patience
