Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level.

Honestly starting to shave more and more areas has made me hate body hair more and more. Idk why, but any hair that isnt my eyebrows or on top of head drives me absolutely insane now. It gets to be much to shave everything all the time, i do it in cycles. If i never grew it again, id be a happy girl
Protip from a formerly hairy woman - get waxed every month for at least a year (I did it for 2 years), and the hair grows back much softer ... now I shave my legs once a week, and it's quick and easy :-)
Edit: get it waxed by a pro, don't try and do it at home
Ill look into this, thank you!
I have waxed at home, but I can concur with this. Shaving leaves the tips of hair sharp, but when it grows in from the root it gets a fine, naturally-tapered tip that makes it feel softer.
Which is part of why the myth of "if you shave your hair, it will come back thicker" is so prevalent. The hair doesn't permanently change texture from shaving, it's just that once you get into a habit of doing it regularly, it will feel rough all the time because of it.
Not just that, waxing damages the roots and weakens them, making the hair grow back finer
The same thing can bite you in the ass if you over-pluck your eyebrows
Honestly that's me as well anymore. I used to be more ambivalent about it.
Are you familiar with epilators? Not pleasant to use at first but extremely effective
I have one I have used twice because the fear of giving myself cancer freaks me the hell out. I have no idea if that fear is founded, it was just an epiphany I had.
Zero risk of cancer, all it does is pull hairs out by the root the same as tweezers or wax. Not that I don't understand the apprehension after having used it the first time, epilators hurt viciously but they get the job done quickly and consistently with minimal prep or cleanup.
I think I got the word wrong. I thought epilators were for laser removal, but I guess there isn't a specific word for those.
Fair, they do have a bunch of different IPL and laser products and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them could give you cancer
Ive heard about them but i havent gotten my hands on one yet, may have to soon tho, thanks!
You're welcome!
So, I am a dude, thus take this with a grain of salt perhaps, but:
Find you a person who will be excited to, and capable of safely shaving/trimming you.
There are people who do that?
I mean, I've groomed some of my partners, some of them have groomed me.
So... yes?
There is at least one person?
Maybe I am very strange, I am autistic, so social norms are basically all arbitrary performances to me, but it seems to just make sense?
I'm fairly sure this is also a behavior that is done by a good deal of our ape ancenstors, mammals more broadly: Grooming and cleaning another is itself a kind of social bond, a way to establish and demonstrate trust and care.
It also just saves money; if you have or can teach a partner how to do things like... haircut touchups, eyebrow shaping, basic mani/pedicure type stuff, whatever, now you don't need to spend money on something you'd normally have to pay someone else to do.
And you can just like, have a conversation while doing this. Quality time, lol!
I even got some kind of "razor burn" from professional waxing, and I kinda hate having all this body hair. FML
OMG i have the most sensitive skin ive ever seen on anyone. Waxing and hair remover is a nogo, especially because the hair that grows from that skin is also very thick. Ive used hair remover and managed burning my skin before all the hair would come.
Ive tried waxing too but no matter how i do it it doesnt actually pull the hair. Maybe i dont let it grow enough? Idk
AFAIK you do need to grow it out a bit, especially when it's your first time (the finer hairs that grow from well-waxed skin should offer less resistance). That was one of the issues when I went to a professional waxing one time. The chemical hair remover I've tried has been useless, too. At this point, about the only thing I haven't tried is brazilian waxing (supposedly more skin-friendly) and laser hair removal, but both are beyond my financial means...
I appreciate the reply! Imma try the waxing after longer hair, even if it makes my skin hate me. I hope it helps, because i literally have to shave some areas twice a day if i wanna be hairless lol
Get a pro to do your waxing - 1000% less painful, quicker, and more successful
