I'm a Plucker!

Amazing I pluck too. I was getting tired of shaving and having the hair grow back 3/4 days later, and the embarrassing itching sensation I'd get from the hairs growing back. I guess I'm ocd but if I have a good audio book on the time just flies by. I find that if you shower with warm water before plucking, and moisturize with Avino, the hair comes out a lot easier with minimal pain and engrown hairs are not as likely to pop up. I find the most painful part to pluck are the bangs (the hair right at the apex of the vaginal lips) and also the area nearest the butt so I usually just veet that part. My boyfriend loves how smooth I am down there and that it lasts for about 3 weeks. I have also noticed that the hairs have been growing back more fine with each pluck session (I have done it about 5 times thus far) I wish i could do likewise with my armpits but i think I'm gonna have to stick with old fashioned wax strips for that. lol

wow I thought I was the only one. I actually detest the totally bare look and it distrubs me that young teenagers feel pubic hair is so aweful that it begins to affect how they look at themselves, or being non sexy. Its cultural. Look at 70's playboys, full bush was it. So for yrs i silently protested and went all natural, except for outside of bikini. But i guess i got bored this winter and tried it. I had done it briefly as a teen and wanted to see the results again. In two days I did everything i could see. The rest i left to shave. Now i keep the a small hood area. I dont like looking pre pubeceant but still has a clean look and feel. I guess I am lucky I dont get a lot of ingrows. I did some research though, did you know that priests in ancient egypt would pluck every hair in their body?

As 'anonymousbitches' said, I've been plucking and am now left with red bumps and scars. I've not plucked in a few months and have resorted to shaving, but to shave every day is such a hassle, and the itching when the hair regrows is just awful. I tend only now to shave on "special occasions" (when I've the hope of "pulling"), but what with the scars, I'm terribly embarrassed. Is it worth it? I don't know. The after-effect is brilliant, but one wrong move and it could be life-long disaster. I really hope that my scars fade as I'm only 18!

***** **** you, you have no idea what you're talking about or at least, you're stating your very lucky case as a general fact. I turned to tweezing my pubes because i got ingrowns and stuff but that's really not what bothered me, it's the scars and pimple that are the worst. I now realize that my obsessive compulsive bikini plucking gives me more pimples and they're like tiny but there's like battalion of them so my vadge doesn't feel smooth anymore. AND i have the scars so i feel embarrassed t wear bikinis because the scars are right at he bikini.
So what i wish to say is please do not lead peple to believe that plucking and tweezing is the best way to remove hair, because the side effects are horrible. And i'm gonna be having sex with my boyfriend who refuses to sleep with me if i have any hair down there and the baldness brings the pimples out in relief. Oh Joy

My wife spent at least 500 bucks on laser treatment {just the armpit}. So I was like, why don't you pluck? I tried to prove my point so three years ago, I started plucking. I love the clean look. It cost you nothing except for a little pain.

Today i plucked the last hair off from my lady parts,it took a couple of days to do it all. I got a stiff neck and sore fingers from all the tweezing but it was so worth it. For the more painful bits i dabbed on a bit of numbing cream and voila!
I tweeze my legs as waxing doesn't rip out all the hair, it wasn't as sore as i thought it would be.
I am a happy plucker and will be keeping it up as new hairs grow in, it is also the most cost effective, as all you need is tweezers and time.
Glad i found this page to read other people's experiences.

If you have just started to pluck, think twice. For some reason its like Crack to me. And, now I hate it but cannot stop. Has anyone tried the NONO?

I cant stop! started 2 years ago. My hair grows back overnight. I obsess when I can feel a hair. It takes hours aday, usually while Im watching TV. I cant seem to stop. It even looks bad now, & not all smooth. If I pull them out by the roots then how do they grow back so fast?

Quick question; I just started plucking my pubic hairs a yesterday, and so far everything seems fine. The area was sore after I finished, but today it feels completely fine and very smooth. For ingrown hairs, how long does it take for it to become noticeable and uncomfortable?

Wow, I thought I was the only one...what a relief

I thought I was an absolute weirdo for doing this! I'm only 15 (16 next month) but I've been doing it for about 2 years haha, I'm a bit obsessed and have always been worried about myself and have always asked myself to just stop but I can't. I'm 100% a virgin and I literally do it out of boredom, so glad I did this research to see if I wasn't the only one, I feel soooo relieved I'm not on my own. Proud to be a plucker haha!

I have found that exfoliating the area daily that I have plucked helps eliminate ingrown hairs. I like the suggestion below of using NEOSPORIN. I am going to try that after I exfoliate today and will let you know how that works. Happy Plucking!!

I am a 56 yo male and started plucking about three years ago. I love the clean feeling and the pain associated with plucking has reduced considerably. I find I have become a bit obsessive but nothing that causes me concern. I sometimes wax further back as access is difficult any other way. I find few problems other than it being time consuming. I wish I could find a female to do it for me as I would enjoy doing it for her.

I tend to pluck mostly out of boredom. I'm still scared to pluck to far in, as it hurts SO much. I've noticed that since I started plucking the hair grows back finer it seems, and pretty quickly too. I've only plucked maybe 3 times besides the random hairs I missed while shaving and it's a noticeable difference in the thickness. I also don't have to put up with razor burn now trying to get that really close smooth feeling! Yay for pluckers :)

I've been plucking for several years now and although time consuming, it is worth it. I'm a 54 year old man and started doing it for my wife when we were married. She preferred to shave and spent more days during the month keeping herself bare than I did. We both enjoyed each others clean and fresh look.



As mentioned in an earlier post, I find sunlight the best for doing a really good job. I have a secluded area in my back yard that serves this purpose free from prying eyes. Morning light is the best. Armed with a cup of coffee and my trusty, sanitized tweezers, I go to work down there.

Hey guys, since I'm new to plucking I'd like to know if any of you have a good way to get rid of the redness and bumps from it down there? If you know any remedies or soaps or anything of the sort would you please message me or reply? Thank you so much!

Oh my gawd!!!! I feel so much better that i know other people are plucking there you know whats... i just got out of the shower and was looking at my legs as there was still hair on them and decided to pluck them and then i thought, why not pluck down there? So i got the tweezers and went away. i love how smooth it is and I've only done about a corner of my VA.J.J. and can't wait to finish the rest. With shaving i was always itchy and saw the hair immediately grow back like in 12 hours. It was so gross especially when i had bumps and sours from it. And now I'm glad to find fellow pluckers doing more than just their faces!!!

I enjoy plucking and the smoothness afterwards. Looking to try something new....Looking for a female that is into plucking pubic hair to get together and have a "Plucking Party"......LOL. Just someone to explore and share a new experience with.

Hello, I too am a plucker. I was tired of how fast regrowth was after shaving. I used to pluck a few years ago and stopped and have recently started again and I have no idea why I ever stopped! It's the best. People are mentioning vaseline to help with bumps and ingrown hairs but I have found the best product for this, NEOSPORIN! It's amazing. It helps prevent infections in ingrown hairs because it kills bacteria and the pain reliever in it is an extra plus! I pluck and then apply the neosporin (I am very liberal with it) and the next day any little pinches or red spots are virtually gone

I love plucking. Shaving and waxing never suited me either. I know others have mentioned this but I am too shy to go to a doctor and show her the damaged (inflammation, white scars, ingrown hairs) around my pubes. I have tried Bio Oil and it only helps with the dry skin. It's painful sometimes but more shameful. Thanks.

I thought I was weird or something cos I really enjoy plucking my girlfriend, she suggested it 1 day, & I was hooked, I like it when she plucks me to, hail pluckers !!

Hello all! I too am a plucker! ha! A lot of people are worried about ingrown hairs, etc. Here are my tips: 1. ALWAYS wash your hands and the area to be plucked BEFORE you start. yes BOTH. 2. pluck away. make sure to get down to the root before you pull. 3. after you are done, take a cotton ball, soak it with WITCH HAZEL and apply over entire area. it feels GREAT! and witch hazel has natural antiseptic. 4. after the witch hazel evaporates, apply CORTISONE 10, the cream to the area. It helps with the inflamed skin. 5. Keep applying these last 2 steps daily, and you will never see anymore of those ingrown hairs! :)

So I've been plucking for a while, and I've noticed a few things. One was a few ingrown hairs, but certainly nothing worse than what you'd get shaving. I also now have several patches that don't appear to be growing back, which I'm thrilled about. Everything else grows in rather quickly. Even if I pull a hair out with the root, there will be a new hair or two growing back from the same follicle within the next day. Another thing, I don't think I break off too many hairs, but even so, when I'm finished, it feels very prickly, which I find incredibly frustrating. Also, I've done my underarms, but afterwards, for the next several days, my armpits were incredibly sore. I really don't like body hair, which is why I pluck, and I would totally do laser hair removal if it were worth it and I could afford it.

What a relief knowing plucking is actually as normal as it gets. Go guys! I just love the feeling of getting them hairs out from the root! (tickles my heart so sweet) It's like a battlefield where you eliminate them stubborn strands in a seemingly endless war. (sighhh....) pluck pluckidie pluck pluck pluck (hmhmmm tickles!) i swear though one day i'll get rid of them once and for all.... tchuching laser / electrolyte whatever, wait for me....

Hi! So shaving causes extreme itching as the hair grows back. Does plucking have the same result?

Hi...

I decided to pluck 'down there' as I hate shaving and waxing is too expensive. I left the bots close to the p**** but did all of the rest. This was 2 weeks ago. Now the whole of my bikini area is inflamed, red, sore and full of ingrown hair. Have others experienced this? Does this mean plucking doesn't suit me or should I stick with it and will it get better? In the mean time, how can I reduce the soreness and redness? THanks

I started plucking for the first time the other day but only managed the top part of my bikini line before I was interrupted by a knock at the door. I must find time today to finish the job as my bikini line is so smooth and I too get irritated skin from shaving down there. Does anyone have any tips for a first time pluck?

I love plucking but I can't only pluck just one! I just sat in the bathroom for 2 hours LOL but it looks great down there ;)

I started plucking my lower legs really young and instantly started plucking my pubic area when I hit puberty. After doing this for YEARS I have now made a discovery, the epilator. I have a small one for the pubic region and a big one for my legs. Same results, similar feeling, quarter of the time. For everyone moaning about ingrowns, exfoliate your skin every other day, moisturize every day. I never get them.
