    Because it would be impossible to remove everywhere lmao, I think I'm half ape at this point. I've been like this since I was like 10, by the end of highschool I had to shave my face every day, I don't really know otherwise. If I shave body hair it comes back almost immediately, and elipitation manually is super painful with so much hair. Creams would be the only way, but I've heard so many horror stories about it lol.

      I used to use creams before moving on to epilation.

      If you avoid applying it to particularly sensitive areas or parts prone to eczema, the irritation shouldn't actually be that bad. The main issues in depilatory cream is that it can be pretty expensive and can be awkward to intuit how much you need to use.

      Your mileage may vary, I'm incredibly hairy and it can take a lot of cream to get rid of my body hair. But for others with thinner hair (or less extensive coverage), it might not actually be that bad.
