Splitting Hairs

[Knuxie Fawks]

I guess I first got interested after shaving my diaper region, but I like how I look shaved. I shaved my belly earlier today, and I noticed how gross all the hair on my legs looks. I was wondering if someone could tell me some painless method of getting rid of hair....at least for a while. Someone mentioned waxing, and I was just like "ow". Sounds painful to me. I thought about products like Nair. I've never used it, nor do I know anyone who has. Any suggestions?

Nair is terrible! Not meant for man-legs. I shave my legs, diaper area and tummy (I don't have a hairy chest) about every other day. My advice to you, if you want to start shaving more is just to attack it and keep at it everyday, or as needed. Don't slack too much, or it'll get harder. I'm glad there's someone else who's repulsed by hairy legs! I wish more of the male ABs would do it!

Yeah, I've shaved all but my back, arms, and top of my head... I thought about shaving my arms, but I'm sure someone would notice, then since I normally wear short sleeves. The only area I have trouble shaving everyday is the area in my crotch, just above my bits. I'd like to shave my back, too, but I'm just not that flexible.

Sorry bud, you're gonna hafta get your back either waxed, or grow it out and dye it orange to match your foxy persona. Asian ladies are your friends.

I don't shave my arms because that's just too much trouble to go thru, and I'm not that hairy to begin with. Don't be afraid to maneuver your razor on your sac and the base of your shaft, as well as the 'leg pits' and your inner thighs. Use lotions and maybe sprinkle some powder into your pants so that it keeps the itching down -- you're gonna itch ALOT after you do this, so be prepared.

Don't pull a Ross and use both the powder and lotions together "Joey! They've made like, this sticky paste and my pants STILL won't go on!"

That was the first area I shaved, and I'm keeping that up. It just tends to be a troublesome area. I've made sure to shave it all...the few short hairs actually on my sack and shaft haven't grown back, it's just the area of fatty tissue surrounding it that grows all the hair...and that's the sensitive part. There's no place around here to get a back wax, but maybe I can find a friend who would be willing to shave my back...Hey, you never know!

I shower when I shave because the heat softens the hair up. Keep at it, in the beginning it may be ugly with razor burn but your skin toughens up after a while. I am repulsed by hair too but I have kept up such a macho persona it would be hard for me to shave my legs.... Funny I agree with someone in another post about being proud of who we are but I can't seem to bring myself to shaving my legs. Guss that makes me a hypocrite of sorts. Maybe I'll man up and do it one of these days.

I shave in a warm bath, and lubricate shaving areas with watered down dish soap

[Danni]

There is a product available at just about any drugstore/wallmart or online called "bikini zone". It is a cream that you apply after shaving. It works great for razor rashes, itching, bumps, skin irritation etc... on those sensitive areas.

The Nair of today is far superior to the Nair of yesteryear. As long as you are disciplined in it's use. If not, it will fry you, if you leave it on too long. Follow directions. I use it mainly for my crotch area. For legs, I wax. For torso, I wax. For arms, wax. Over the past three years of determined waxing, I can say that my body hair re-growth has thinned substantially. Especiallly on my arms and legs. My chest hair? Arrrrgh! A curse! But, it too seems to be going the way of the arms and legs. Patience is a virtue here, but I'm way too stoked on instant gratification genes to put up with letting it grow out to 1/4 inch before waxing. So, sometimes I'll use the old reliable Remington on that area. For the back? Same thing. Whatever works. Electric razor is my favored, although I have done Nair on my shoulders and been very satisfied with the results. However, there are still those annoying, hard to reach places that can only be accessed by a partner or pro. Don't get me started on facial hair.

I don't know. Sometimes I think I'm a little bit anal about the whole hairy baby thing. Friends used to joke and call me, "la nina con barba". I took that kind of personal and have sought many means of ridding myself of this unwanted growth. I have yet to find a permanent one. *sigh*. On the upside, it seems my body hair growth, has been retarded after three years of waxing. None of my friends suggest anymore that I depiliate soon, as they used to. Now, they hardly notice the sparse growth, if any, on my arms and legs. With a dress covering the rest of me, all they can rag on is my 5 o'clock shadow. Until Summer rolls around. Then it's back to backless sunsuits and sundresses. You know, the kind with the straps that cross in back? Will someone save me, here? Before summer? In Arizona? I've run out of options.

Cuddles,

Bri, you look like a pretty big guy, and from what I've noticed about alot of my bigger friends is that they seem to be less hairy than me -- especially on the legs. Why not give it a shot?

I'm not a big guy, just a little stocky!! I'm actually in a size 36 waist and that's kinda loose on me. I havnt shaved my legs cause they are like forests.... My wife would have a hay day with me too! Oh the ridicule that would come from that one. (not mean just joking with me) I am her macho man though so I do have to keep healthy balance.

[restlessfox]

i haven't shaved my legs before, but i have shaved my arms, yeah people notice but the worst conversation i had about it went like this:

him: did you shave your arms?

yeah i did

him: why?

because it's useless hair and i got bored, it will grow back

him: if you shave your eyebrows you wont be bored for a week

yeah because people will be laughing at me for a week

him: exactly.

it's your hair you can shave it if you want, you're obviously not afraid to let everyone know you wear diapers so why not go all out and see what it's like to be hairless again from the neck down, the worst that can happen is someone will think you're on chemo therapy.

tris i'm liking the idea to dye it all orange i'm still chuckling about that

[crys_138]

Nair is terrible! Not meant for man-legs.

They make a Nair for men now meant to get at their coarser body hair, including the stuff on the legs. Anyway, I just shave, it works the best in my case, although it sucks when the hair grows back. Although no matter what I use to get the hair off, it hurts like hell when it grows back.

Well, all I have left is my arms and my back, and no place around here has waxing. So, I'd need someone to shave me. So far, no takers.

[tris]

No place has waxing. . ? Chitown is a pretty big place, I find that hard to believe. . . guys go get their backs shaved/waxed all the time for various reasons. . . Look for salons and spas. Alot of those places will wax your back for you, probably happily

[himfan]

Norelco makes an electric body hair razor made for men its suposed to be safer and less painful.

There is a line of products for bicyclists known as "Brave Soldier" they make shaving creams, and after shaves for men. A lot of pro cyclists shave their legs for aerodynamics, and so they don't get hair caught in their chain rings when they peddle hard. I haven't tried them, but from what I have read, they work pretty good.

I tried shaving my diaper area, and I liked the look, and the feel of not sweating down there all summer, but I will never shave there again do to itching, instead, I just give it a quick trim.

[tris]

I've ridden all kinds of bicycles nearly all my years in existence, and I've YET to catch my leg hair in the chain and have it rip. Most of my friends are hairier than me -- still, no leghair rippage. Who does this happen to? Can I connect this to a Lance Armstrong/Cancer joke without taking too much heat?

. . . We'll see, tonight!

[Knuxie Fawks]

I'll use the razor until I find something better. I'm about as hairless as can be, right now. I'll just keep it up.

[restlessfox]

you could try a nair soaked rag on a stick to get those hard to reach back spots or if you feel like going all out you could put dozens of razors in a board and shave your back like a bear satisfying an itch on a tree

[BabyPikachu]

Ok so you have hair you want to remove.... I tried the Nair approach ONCE and will NEVER do it again. I bought the Nair from my local drugstore. The clerk was female and gave me a weird look when I bought it. I felt very exposed when she looked at me that way as I handed her the Nair. Anyway, I took it home and stripped. Jumped into a bathtub full of warm water and soaked for a bit. Then drained out all the water and started to apply the Nair. I started with my legs first, Then moved to my belly, I read the Nair bottle's directions and followed it to the letter. I sat there for a few mins. Man did it stink! I then washed off the Nair with warm water. SWEET! The hair was gone!

Ok I said to myself. I then decided to apply the Nair to my "unit". I felt really cool going on. After I was satisfied I had all areas covered I sat for a couple of mins. I then washed off the Nair with warm water once again. However, I noticed my crotch was extremely sensitive to the warm water. What felt like luke warm water to my hand felt like burn your tong hot! Thinking it was the Nair product reacting to the water somehow I poured more water onto the area to make sure it was off. Now the area was on fire! I became alarmed and started to panic. I read the bottle over and over again and could not find anything that said this might happen. A few mins passed and soon all I could focus on was the burning my crotch was going through. It was like someone just submerged your hand into boiling water. The pain was horrific. I got out the bathroom "naked" and ran to my room to turn on my fan. I directed the wind towards my crotch thinking it would make it feel better. WRONG!!!!! It only added to the pain I was feeling. Now ....stupid me.... went back into the bathroom and looked under my sink to try and find some Alovera lotion you use for Sunburn. Not understanding the burns are of a different nature I found a bottle and applied it to the area...................OH $%^& Not only did it burn with a vengeance, my entire diaper area was now bright red!

Ok so that's only half the story..... What I did next.....I hope I NEVER have to do again. I called my doctor's office and asked if I could come in right now to be seen for a "chemical burn" "this was a two doctor’s office" and my doctor was out. The lady on the line said to come in right away and she will have the "other" doctor see me. The "Other" doctor I did not know. I pulled on a pair of jeans minus the underwear and raced out the door to my car. Getting in and sitting down was a chore in itself. %^&* the pain was awful. At this point I was in tears. I got my nerve back and drove to the doctor’s office. After waiting what seemed like.... AN ETERNITY a nurse called me back.

I entered the room and stood. The nurse directed me to sit on the examination table... I replied... I would rather stand. She then asked what the nature of my emergency was....... Ok, how the hell do you explain something like this to a total stranger... not to mention a FEMALE!!! Well.....I lied.... I told her I had used a product on my belly that caused a burning sensation... Not totally a lie just the burning was not in that area.... What product? came the next question from the nurse....I paused.... and choked out...Nair. The nurse transformed from a ....nurse... into a chatter ball.... She said things like. "Oh I have had that happen to me before...." and proceeded to give me all the details of her "encounters" ENCOUNTERS! WTF why would you use the stuff again if you had....ENCOUNTERS!!!! was what I was thinking. Anyway, she jotted some stuff down and said the doctor will be right with you and she left the room.....

The room.... Why did it look so childish? The wallpaper was childish... there where books designed for children.... There was even a baby scale on the counter.... Weird. Then the doctor came in. Wouldn't you figure... the "Other" doctor was a GIRL!!!!!! At this point my heart was racing. I didn't know whether to just stand there or run my ass off out of there to save my embarrassment....to make matters worse she was a pediatrician!!!....(Kid Doctor). She then asked the aged old question, “So what seems to be the problem?" How the hell was I going to explain this to her? (Little background here: I’m straight....but I have never been with a woman. I have not even dated a woman.... so try explaining this to one) After what must have seemed like .... forever she asked me if I was ok.... I choked back my embarrassment and stated that I had used a product on my belly to get rid of some hair and now it was burning really bad. She asked me to take off my pants so she could get a look.......(NO UNDERWEAR HELLO!!!) Oh god.... I paused a REALY long time... She assured me it would be ok she handled cases like this all the time..... WTF I thought she was a kid doctor? what kids go around rubbing Nair on there nads???? That's what I was thinking anyway....Well I replied.. there is a little more to it....She just stood there and looked on... Well you see, My "Girlfriend"(LIE) asked me to shave off....All my hair in that..well...you know.... area... I stammered out. And she suggested that I try removing the hair with her Nair.... Ok the cat was out of the bag in one sense or another even though I didn't have a girlfriend...

The doctor then asked me to remove my pants so she could see the affected area.... Ever have that dream like you go to school and you’re in class and then realize your not wearing any cloths? well that's how I felt right at that moment. I fought back the urge to cry as well.... I’m a man damn it.... I slowly unbuttoned my pants and then slid the zipper down. At this point I mentioned I was not wearing any underwear... Then she makes a wise crack that "oh it's ok, I look at babies butts all day". WTF was that supposed to make me feel better?! As I slid down my pants slowly exposing the inflicted area a tear slid down my cheek. There I stood half naked to the world and trying to fight back the urge to cry. Oh my she said. You really did a number down there. I remember this very clearly... looking down as she gently touched the "area" I noticed my...you know was extremely small. It was like I just got dipped in the Arctic Ocean in the middle of winter!

At this point the doctor asked me to remove my paints all the way and lay down on the examination table. I did this... but rather reluctantly. Standing in what seemed like a corner of the exam room exposing myself to a woman and complete stranger seemed allot more comforting then laying half naked right in the middle of the room! As I lay down the doctor said she would be right back. My humiliation was complete. There I was lying alone in a strange room on a cold padded table on top of a sheet of paper lining the table surface, totally exposed to the world.. (It seemed that way anyway) and surrounded by wallpaper that you would expect to be in a child’s room. You know it's funny how pain will make you do almost anything to get rid of it....... The doctor returned pushing a cart into the room. What exactly was on the cart I could not tell you. But to make matters worse the nurse from before followed the doctor in and shut the door!!!! At this point I put my hand over my face to hide my embarrassment and tears. After hearing some rustling and soft words from the doctor they both appeared at my side. The doctor explained what was happening with my skin due to the chemical in the Nair. She explained it as my skin having an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the Nair product. She then asked the nurse for a tube off the table. She said I am going to apply this to the affected area. It should help to stop the pain. She then "touched" me with her fingers and started to apply the cream. ( Mental note: In ANY other circumstance this would be like a dream come true... but in this case I could not think of anything worse ever happening to me in my life at this moment) The cream was cool and as she worked it all over my "area" I almost right away noticed the pain starting to subside. As she finished she said I am going to write you a prescription for this that you will need to apply 4 times a day and it's very important that after you apply this you don’t let the affected area get dirty or rub against your cloths. That will only further irritate your condition. At this point I would agree to anything as the pain was dramatically subsiding. The nurse then handed the doctor something... (This is something I will NEVER forget). The doctor then instructed me to raise my bottom off the table for a moment while she would slide something under me. (I think you know what's coming) As I did this the doctor slid a cloth like item under me and then instructed me to lie down. At once I knew what this "item" was. (HOLLY CRAP IT WAS A FREAKING DIAPER!! WTF) The nurse then pulled the "item" up between my legs and then ever so gently fastened the tabs on each side to me.

(Question.... why was I in a diaper?)

This question no sooner entered my head then the doctor explained. She said," After you apply the cream I want you to wear one of these for the next couple of weeks or until the affected area has returned to normal color." (She then called it was it was) The diaper will help to assist in the healing process. Your body will most likely ooze in the affected area for a time so it's best to use the diaper as it will not stick to that area and at the same time absorb the moisture. I shook my head in agreement with what she told me. The nurse and doctor then helped me down off the table. The nurse then helped me pull my pants up and over the diaper. She was very gentle not to cause my pants to rub the front of the diaper. I thanked the doctor as she said the nurse will assist you from here. Have a nice day. And as she was about to close the door she popped her head back in and said, "oh and you might want to tell your girlfriend to give you a hand in changing your diaper".

The nurse escorted me up to the front and handed my chart to the cashier. "Take care sweetie" (Take care SWEETIE???WTF) and with that she left. The clerk busied herself with my chart and then gave me a bill. (Isn't that nice. You spend money to remove unwanted hair and wind up paying a whole lot more for it....) as I paid for the bill she then handed me a bag of .... (You guessed it) Diapers! She then proceeded to repeat the care instructions the doctor had told me and the importance of keeping the affected area clean....(you know it sure would have been nice if she could have talked a hell of a lot quieter) Then when she mentioned the part about the diapers I could feel my body flush with embarrassment knowing there were several people in the waiting room just behind me. I quickly signed my credit card slip, thanked her and get the hell out of there.

Looking back at this whole ordeal this was a fantasy come true but at that moment in time I felt the whole experience was the worst moment in my entire life.

So I guess what I am getting at is. DON'T USE NAIR or anything like it to get rid of the hair. Just keep it shaved with an electric razor. I have found that using a liberal amount of baby powder works wonders for the itching. I have also toyed with the idea of electrolysis. But honestly... how would you explain to the person doing the electrolysis that you want your "diaper area" zapped!

[PArms]

You have a strange way to obtain a pack of diapers. That's quite the price to pay. Hope everything healed alright.

I've bought and used Nair once. On the bottle, it says to not use it down there.
