There's no pain like it..
 

Up until recently I've been allowing my eyebrows to remain au naturelle. But there came a point - when they joined up in the middle - that I decided that I should take it like a man and become a lady! I went to have my eyebrows waxed, which in itself was quite painful, but it's nothing compared to the maintenance of plucking.

There is definitely no pain like it! I know it's vanity and I know it's daft but now that I've started I can't stop. I can't allow them to grow back again, for people to start pointing out that I don't have eyebrows - I have caterpillars. Oh, no, I've been sucked in - I'm a victim! What can I do?

Should I continue with the weekly ritual pain of plucking or should I allow nature to take over and turn back into the wild woman of borneo?

This is so funny.:)

A certain 'gentleman' and myself had a conversation on this very issue.

Keep them seperate. Plucking is less painful than waxing.

reply to last mess
 

Definately carry on. I have my eyebrows waxed every month along with tinting of brows and eyelashes and i do enjoy it. i always come out of the shop feeling nice and well groomed and its my little treat i look forward to. yeah it does hurt like hell though but well worth it.:)

The said gentleman has just pm'd me to inform me he has fallen off his chair because of this thread.

I hope you didn't wake Romps?;)

i was at my girlfriends' house today and i was splitting my sides laughing, she couldnt find her tweezers apparently, and she warned me on the phone that one 'brow was "running a mock across her face" i thought she was exagerating but OMG i havnt seen a funnier sight in my life!!

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

plucking waxing no thanks too painfull.

Re: There's no pain like it..

Re: There's no pain like it..

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

I wonder how many men on here have had a wax ?
Tried waxing my legs and made a mess, ended up running down ASDA for some new blades. Dont shave as much in the winter, find the hairs keep me warmer :D

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Oooo I know what you mean, you certainly feel the draught more after you have just shaved your legs!!! :eek:

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

My Goodness - how did we get on to this? I was only talking about a few stray hairs on my eyebrows!

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Its just one of those things that happen. Its been fun reading though. :D

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

My daughter once bought me an EMJOI epilator for Christmas......it had a series of wheels around which were wound elastic bands....when you switched it on the elastic bands went round like fury and ripped the hair out of whichever bit of your anatomy it was placed on......it had different settings....thin bands for facial hair.....thicker bands for under-arm hair and industrial type things for the bikini line. That Christmas night she talked me into trying it on my under-arm hair (you can stop laughing right now Nicola68)
It was absolutely excruciating.......and my lovely, kind compassionate daughter rolled about p'ing herself with laughing as I tried to use this contraption. Needless to say it was consigned to its box and has not seen the light of day again.

Having said all that I have had my eyebrows plucked frequently and waxed only once.....plucking is easier and pretty painless. The only problem I have now is I can't see my eyebrows for my glasses......and if I take my glasses off......well, I just can't see my eyebrows to pluck them. So presbyopia DOES have an upside after all.

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Gayle if you do find plucking your eyebrows too, too painful put an ice cube in a plastic bag and apply it to the bit you are about to pluck.....30 seconds if you can stand it that long, and you won't feel a thing.

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

I had my eyebrows waxed once..... It was awful, I had to go to Asda afterwards and I looked like I had a red Zorro mask round my eyes. The brows did look good afterwards but I have always stuck to plucking since. I don't find leg and bikini waxing half as painful as eyebrow, but I do tend to wax less in winter as a few hairs keep you warm.

PS..... If I am ever in a vegetitive state, can one of the ladies please visit me in hospital once every 4-6 weeks and wax my legs, pluck my eyebrows and bikini wax please.......:D It'd be much appreciated and I'd do it for all of you...

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Those of you who go to the Acy web meetings or otherwise just drink in the Stag will know that I have a rather wide parting. I could do with a few extra hairs on top. So think yourselves lucky.

This thread reminds me when i was in labour with my eldest and i was being prepped for theatre for a CS. The look i must have gave her when she came walking towards me with a BIC in her hand and no soap !:eek:

Re: There's no pain like it..

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Not a bad idea I could use one on the furry catapillar. ;)

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

It's about time women evolved to having no unwanted hair, all we do is spend time removing it!

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

What a palaver! I takes me a week to pluck up courage to rip a plaster off my arm. The nurse applied a plaster this week. Un-necessary. Taking it off was worse than the injection which I hardly felt!

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

awww spugs how cute but i have never heard it called "A FURRY CATAPILLAR BEFORE" hehe

Re: There's no pain like it..

Cheers Chav trust you and Geoff to have an answer to my little quip. :D

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Off out on the razz tonight with my darling sister and co. so I'm sat here plucking whilst reading .... talk about women and multi tasking!

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

I think reading while plucking is worse than smoking a fag while plucking. Does it not put mthead off? :rolleyes:

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

If he doesn't like it he can .... go pluck himself !! ;)

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Ouch now that sounds very painful indeed.

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Its not that painful i quite enjoy being being plucked! :D

Re: There's no pain like it..
 

Quite enjoy - don't get to excited about it will you. Maybe it's just that mthead is a naff plucker
