What are we doing about our vellus hairs?

[Anonymous]

I have the vellus hairs on my fave and they drive me nuts. I don’t love shaving them and can’t use the chemical removers due to sensitivity. Are there other options?

[Anonymous]

I'm mad you made me Google "vellus." Just say peach fuzzy like a normal person.

Your options with hair are shaving, waxing/plucking, and chemical removal.

Eh, that’s what they are called and waxing just breaks them off and doesn’t really work.

What's the problem with shaving? With the little razor and the right angle, it's very easy.

Thank you for saving me from googling. OP, everyone I know who is bothered by those has the little Japanese face razors for them.

Threading! I feel like this is the gentlest option for women on powerful retinoids.

Shaving (“dermaplaning”) and waxing are a no go for retinoid skin

When threading got too expensive and inconvenient due to increasing frequency as I aged, I bought a high grade epilator and taught myself how to use it

(And to pp, both of these if done properly yank the hair out of the follicle. they don’t break it off at the skin surface)
