As a trans woman or crossdresser, removing body hair can be a big part of feeling your best as a woman. After all, there’s nothing like silky smooth skin to make a girl feel extra feminine!
While a lot of attention is given to facial hair removal, including MTF beard removal, body hair removal is equally important.
Between the legs, chest, bikini area, and underarms, there’s a lot of ground to cover – and that’s where things can get tricky!
In this blog post, I share the most common transgender body hair removal methods, along with their pros and cons.
6 Transgender Body Hair Removal Methods – Pros and Cons
1. Shaving
Shaving is a simple and affordable method of removing body hair that can be done quickly and easily at home. Whether using a manual or electric shaver, it can be one on virtually any part of the body.
Pros:
- Quick and easy hair removal method
- Inexpensive compared to other hair removal methods
- Can be done in the comfort of your own home
Cons:
- Potential for razor burn, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps
- Hair regrowth can happen quickly and feel coarse or stubbly
- Requires frequent upkeep to maintain smooth skin
2. Waxing
Waxing is a popular method of hair removal that involves applying a warm or hot wax to the skin, then quickly removing it along with unwanted hair.
You could either visit a salon for a professional wax or try doing it yourself at home. If it’s your first time using a home waxing kit, it may take several attempts to achieve optimal results.
Pros:
- Results last longer than shaving
- Hair regrowth is slower and may be finer
- Can be done on large areas of the body
Cons:
- Can be painful, especially for those with sensitive skin
- Can be expensive, especially if done at a salon
- Requires hair to be a certain length before waxing
3. Sugaring
Sugaring, an ancient Egyptian hair removal technique, involves applying a sugar gel or paste made of natural ingredients like sugar, water, and lemon juice to the skin. The paste is then removed in a swiping motion, pulling the hair out from the follicles.
Pros:
- Can be less painful than waxing
- Made from natural ingredients
- Results last longer than shaving
Cons:
- Can be messy
- Can be difficult to find a salon that offers sugaring
- Requires hair to be a certain length before sugaring
4. Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is popular for transgender facial hair removal, but it can also be used on larger areas of the body such as the underarms, back, legs, and bikini area.
The procedure involves using pulsating beams of light to target and damage hair follicles, inhibiting future hair regrowth.
Pros:
- Results are long-lasting
- Less painful than waxing or sugaring
- Can be done on large areas of the body
Cons:
- Can be expensive
- Multiple sessions are required for optimal results
- Not effective on all hair types and skin tones (especially light hair and dark skin tones)
5. Depilatory cream
Depilatory creams use chemical compounds to break down hair proteins and remove unwanted hair. These creams are applied to the skin and left for a short period before being wiped or washed away, taking the hair along with them.
Pros:
- Can be done at home
- Quick and easy hair removal method
- Hair regrowth is slower than shaving
Cons:
- Chemicals in the cream can cause skin irritation
- Results may not last as long as other hair removal methods
- Strong odor
6. Epilator
An epilator is an electronic device used for removing hair from the skin. It works by using a series of small tweezers or rotating discs to pull the hair out by the roots.
Pros:
- Results last longer than shaving
- Hair regrowth is slower and may be finer
- Can be done in the comfort of your own home
Cons:
- Can be painful, especially for those with sensitive skin
- Hair must be a certain length before using an epilator
- Can be time-consuming, especially for larger areas of the body
