I'm doing this for the first time, took a hot shower before.

And it hurts LIKE HELL.

I have a Braun Silk epil 7. So yeah if you have any tips on how to make this hurt less do tell.

Laser hair removal has gotten much better in a short amount of time. Go somewhere with newer machines and it does not hurt at all. I'm getting it done right now. The only discomfort is the cold gel they use on you.

Hmm, def doesn't not hurt. I got 8 sessions done and it hurts like a mofo each time.

That said, each succeeding session on the same areas is less painful than the former.
