Shaving legs however there's still stubbles. Help please?

[divadoll]

Canadian prices are always higher /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Sally's is where I got it and it was $10, Shoppers Drugmart, where I originally purchased runs at around $13.  I've not had any success with gigi. I ended up throwing out the contents and kept the nice cup-like container for my homemade sugar that I included the recipe for.  My leg hairs were VERY coarse from years and years of shaving.  The Brazilian type did the best job and its better to get a stronger wax than one that will fail you.  

The GiGi sugar wax is good for brow and arms but it did not work for my armpits nor legs and I didn't even bother trying it on my bikini.  

I figure, men's leg hairs would be as coarse, if not worse than mine.  After a few waxings, I've not had any problems using an epilator to clear that out of the way.  Just follow the directions in the box.  Allow the hairs to grow a little - as directed to get the best results.  Welcome to being a girl...

If you're in the US then you can get waxing products at Sally Beauty. The same wax Divadoll recommended above costs under $7 at Sally's. There is also one by Surgiwax specifically for legs Surgi Wax Microwave Hair Remover for Body & Legs. Another good brand is GiGi which is also sold at Sally's. If you're not in the US or don't have a Sally's beauty check out your local drugstore like Walgreens, CVS, RiteAid, etc since I believe all three sell SurgiWax. If not in the US check out your local drugstore or big box store (anything similar to Walmart) and see if they carry it or something similar.

Being a girl still feels much more comfortable then being a guy to me ;P. Okay so would epilator be good too right? I can use my moms I think >.>"" But... it just looks sooooo scaryyy LOL!....

As long as your mom allows you to use hers. Epilators are like tooth brushes.  People shouldn't really share those items. 

Make sure that your leg hairs are neither too short nor too long.  Shower first to soften hair.  

I really do recommend waxing before you try epilating.  It desensitizes the pain receptors.  Keep in mind, most women have a much higher pain tolerance than men (having to be able to give birth and all...)

Lol! My mom won't allow me to use hers. If she found out that I still want to be a girl I'm so screwed >.>""....

Perhaps now is not a great time to be coming out as a girl then.

I got too because the later I do it the less I'll look like a girl.

 

[nikkysheels]

You thinking you're not going to age if you start looking like a girl now?  You don't sound like you are in a stable situation where you can start this transformation.  -no job, living with parents and they appear more than just disapproving of your choice.  There's plenty of time for this.  

Many men won't ever pass for a girl no matter how old or young they are.

No, if they took estrogen at a young age such as 13 it's like... 90% they'll look like a girl. As long as it's before anything permanent. For guys... I dunno how old bone structure and everything is permanent but I know it's not 19.

 

[divadoll]

I highly doubt that parents of 13 year old boys are going to agree to giving them estrogen to produce feminine looking boys.

We'll at your age there is no real rush to get on hormones .To get the full transformation it needs to be started before puberty and even then it doesn't change bone structure.What you need to do is talk to someone IE: therapist about this.The internet is filled will a ton of misleading info plus a therapist can help you sort out whats best for you. Its a required process to be put on  hormones legally. I went down this path only after being badly burned from aggressive laser hair removal on my face.

you would be really surprised how many little kids have been changed by hormones ....it's shocking.Boys and girls,I only wish my parents did the same for me,instead of turning a blind eye to my issues.

Ya... ;l... Well I'm hoping that estro will make me look a lil more feminine and make up would make me look like a complete girl because I don't plan on doing surgery on my face.

If you'd like to stick to shavers, I recommend something from the Gillette Venus range. They're good. Also, make sure your skin is soft before shaving, so it's good if you can shave in the shower when your skin is damp. Otherwise, try an epilator. Those really work because they get rid of hairs right from the roots. It may hurt the first few times, but after a while it won't hurt as much as before.

I use the Venus ... something which is 5 blades.  I also highly recommend Aveeno's Positively Smooth Shave Gel which is supposed to contain ingredients to slightly inhibit hair growth.

What do u mean. If you start it earlier of course it changes ur bone structures o.o. Barely any testosterone but has more estrogen=smaller figure?

usually a good lotion fixes my problem
